Speaker 1: So I tend to be a buyer of gold in

78
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: with bim Box at Kathleen Hayes on Bloomberg Radio. Labor

79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: reform labor reform in the European Union. In early June,

80
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: European Central Bank Executive board member ben Wa Korree issued

81
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: a lee for quick adoption of economic reforms throughout Europe. Indeed,

82
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: he said that the Eurozone risks suffering a lost generation

83
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: because of high youth unemployment. Here to tell us more

84
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: about labor markets in Europe is Elaria Masselli, senior economists

85

Speaker 1: for Europe for the Conference Sports. He's based in Brussels,

86
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: but joins us here in our studio in New York. Hilaria,

87
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: thank you very much for being with us. Thank you

88
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: for inviting me. So set the stage if you can

89
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: describe for people that may not be following what's going

90
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: on in labor reform in the European Union, what is

91
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: or isn't happening, and maybe compare it to some of

92
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: the issues that we face in the United States. Okay, well,

93
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: and he's a question to start here there, you go right,

94
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: just to do it all once, Okay, well, I will

95
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: start perhaps on what I see as the biggest problem

96
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: in the European labor markets. UM, not all of them,

97
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: because let's remember I mean Europe. You know, you can

98
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: show statistics with every for the urala European Union, but

99
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: it's made of very diverse economies within. But notwithstanding the differences,

100
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: I would say that a big problem is the dualization

101
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: of the labor market. I'll explain what I mean. It

102
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: means that there is a generation of works, a portion

103
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: of the workers that enjoy let's say, the full package

104
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: of all the benefits that were negotiated some fifty sixty

105
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: years ago, and then there is UH. And then there

106
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: were a series of labor market reforms that started in

107
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: the nighties in in a lot of European economies, and

108
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: these reforms were called well, we're liberalizing in the labor market,

109
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: but on the margin. And on the margin it means

110
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: that we're introducing all forms of flexible contracts, temporary work

111
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: arrangements and UM, without touching what was there already. So

112
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: you have right now in France, in Italy, in Spain,

113
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: to some extent in Germany, you have a lot of

114
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: workers which enjoy it let's say two thirds or four

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: fifths of the workers that enjoy the full package UM,

116
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: and then you have a portion of workers, most likely

117
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: young workers that's uh, that a much weaker position in

118
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: the labor market. So I think all the attempts to

119
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: do reforms should aim at rebalancing this situation. So is

120
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: that similar for example to let's say the US airline

121
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: industry that negotiates contracts and has the pilots that are

122
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: veterans who have been in those positions for many years.

123
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: They enjoy the pay and the benefits of those and

124
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: that new pilots perhaps coming into the company they work

125
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: under a different contract. Yes, and they have the longer

126
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: hours for example of work and UM, much more limitations

127
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: on sickness for example, or maternity leaves UM. So there

128
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: is an unfair distribution of rights, and to some extent

129
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: this distribution is also generational. And this is why UM

130
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: young workers feel really affected by this by the crisis.

131
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: In your analysis, tell us countries in Europe that you

132
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: feel are doing the right thing when it comes to

133
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: labor reform and those that are dragging their feet, Well,

134
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: the model, I would say is the Scandinavian model. UM.

135
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting equilibrium because um, everyone enjoys UM

136
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of benefits. I mean, the

137
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Scandinavian welfare system is perhaps the best system in the world.

138
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: At the same time, it's very convenient for companies. There

139
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: are a lot of profitable companies that operate in Copenhagen

140
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: or in Stockholm and UM well, if if there is

141
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: a problem within a labor relationship, they can easily higher

142
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: fire people. And at the same time this is not

143
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: a drama because the system is there to help you.

144
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: And also you're sure that you will find another job

145
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: easily because if you're, for example, your skills are outdated,

146
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: there is a whole system of ACTI labor market policies

147
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: that would really help you to to be trained again

148
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: and then be employable the relatively easily. So in this

149
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: system you have very low unemployment rates, very high employment rates,

150
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: everyone works UM and everyone is happy. It's called flex security.

151
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Is that something that could have been adopted by the

152
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: United Kingdom. Why didn't David Cameron, the former Prime Minister,

153
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: push for that kind of system. Oh, that's the one

154
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: billion dollar question. Because UM, of course, how generous systems

155
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: are welfare systems are depends on depend on um preferences

156
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: of the people, because a system like the Danish one

157
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: is also an expensive system, which means that people pay

158
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: quite high taxes UM and maybe you know, the same

159
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: system could not be applied in the United States, where

160
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: there is a different preferences. There are different preferences compared

161
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: on this on this domain also there is another challenge.

162
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: So actually one my my my TASiS when I wasn't

163
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: Universe City was on, exported this model to Italy, which

164
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: is my home country, and the bitter conclusion of that

165
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: was that it's not possible because it requires a lot

166
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: of management. You know, every single unemployed worker needs assistance,

167
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: and every single UM employee of a of a local

168
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: local office so that manages active level market policies, needs

169
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: to be trained in order to provide the type of assistance.

170
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: So it's really working on each single person, and not

171
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: every system has that capacity. I want to thank you

172
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: very much for coming and spending time and look forward

173
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: to having you again on the program in the future.

174
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: Larry Maseli is Senior Economist for Europe the Conference Board

175
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: based in Brussels, speaking about labor market reform in Europe.

176
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,280
