It also includes a detailed discussion of policy developments in a series of EU countries, with the aim of demonstrating how precarity has been directly linked with certain labour market reforms implemented both before and after the crisis. The authors conclude that the crisis and the labour market reforms represent significant pillars of the strategy used by states and employers to respond to the crisis, as well as promote their competitiveness agenda. The reduction of labour costs and the promotion of higher flexibility are the ultimate goals of that strategy, but the side-effects include an inability to provide high quality jobs to a growing number of people, especially young people. The authors also capture the extent of precarious employment, providing comparable evidence across EU countries.  0aPrecarious employmentzEurope. 0aLabor policyzEurope. 7aBusiness & EconomicsxLabor.2bisacsh 7aLabour economics.2bicssc1 aPapadopoulos, Orestis,eauthor.  z9781787544888 0aEmerald points.40uhttps://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/doi/10.1108/9781787145870
