Labor Market Institutions and Employment
The role of labor market institutions and policies has received great attention throughout the history of labor economics. Labor market institutions are responsible for a wide range of policies, regulations, and organizations that affect the labor market, though their impact on employment can vary depending on the specific institutions and the economic context across countries. This entry attempts to provide an overview of five main labor market institutions and policies, i.e., the minimum wage, employment protection, the power of unions, active labor market policies, and unemployment insurance/unemployment benefits. It also presents theoretical expectations of their effects on employment outcomes and collates relevant results from the related literature, focusing mainly on the most recent empirical evidence. Finally, this entry provides insights regarding labor market institutions and offers proposals for shaping the labor market landscape.

Employees’ Readiness for a Career Shift
Today’s organizations are highly responsive to external changes, which they also demand from their employees.

One way of doing so is to take active part in reskilling projects and be ready for a career shift, which researchers believe can be foreseen in people’s devotion to sustainable careers and can ensure the sustainability of the whole reskilling project.
