[English Title] Labour Market Regulations and Regulation Trends in the OECD Countries [English Abstract] By the 1980’s, the end of Keynesian demand side policies and more competitive markets of the globalizing world are responsible for the growing need to decrease the labour costs. On the other hand, shifting of the sectoral structure of employment is also responsible for the new regulations in the labour market. The process of establishing more flexible labour markets by deregulations in the OECD countries was relatively faster than it is after the middle of 1990’s. The process is slower after the 2000’s. Especially atypical employment, fixed time contracts, temporary work agencies, and temporary employment has been the main deregulation areas. The relatively rigid labour markets of the EU compared to USA labour market is found to be responsible for the high unemployment ratios respectively. The relative rigidity of the European labor market remains, despite there has been a deregulation trend driven and structured by the concept of “flexicurity”.
