- Abstract
- This E-book addresses one of the most hotly debated questions in the Belgian federation: To what extent should some federal labour market institutions be decentralized? “Labour market institutions” include formal organizations, laws, rules and policies that affect the functioning of the labour market. It starts with the point of view of the ministers Marcourt and Vandenbroucke (henceforth, MV) who are in charge of Employment in respectively the Walloon and the Flemish governments. This joint viewpoint appeared in newspapers on December 8, 2008. This viewpoint, briefly summarized in Section 1, establishes a list of institutions that should remain federal and, with a certain degree of precision, others that should be decentralized. The rest of the E-book is made of comments on this viewpoint. These comments are made by academics in economics and sociology and by the Minister Cerexhe who is in charge of employment in Brussels.
