Flexicurity is a comprehensive approach to designing labour market policies. It has been developed to address in a balanced way both the needs of enterprises for a flexible labour force – to enable them to adapt to changing economic conditions and become or remain competitive; and the needs of workers for protection against labour market risks and for secure transitions between jobs or other situations. This report explores the applicability of the flexicurity approach in Turkey in the framework of the country's accession to the European Union.

The present paper has been elaborated jointly with key Egyptian stakeholders and is based on a study design that included desk research, data exchange with partner institutions, focus group discussions held in Egypt in March and April 2010, a workshop to discuss the first draft held in Cairo in June 2010, and a final workshop held in Cairo on 19th October 2010 to present the findings.
