#67 Yo me quedo con esto: Spain’s two-tier labour system is inefficient as well as unfair. Half the workers are on permanent contracts that make them extremely hard (and costly) to fire. Most of the rest scrape by in a netherworld of short-term contracts, bouts of unemployment and the black market. Workers on short-term contracts were the first to lose their jobs when recession hit. As Elena Salgado, the finance minister, claims, this gives the system a certain flexibility. But it is bad for productivity. Inefficient workers on permanent contracts are protected. There is no incentive to train the young and the temporary.
No se si tocar el despido es la solución pero algo se tiene que hacer.
