Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of the labour market flexibility in the Brussels region with respect to the Kingdom of Belgium since the early 90‚s. We distinguish quantitative from qualitative flexibility. The quantitative flexibility is studied with respect to type of work contract, the length and flexibility of workings hours. The qualitative flexibility is studied with respect to the skill mismatch and chain deskilling (or “over-qualification”). The analysis shows an increasing in these two kinds of flexibility which is more important in the Brussels region than in the rest of Belgium. It also emphasizes the interactions of these two types of flexibility through a labour relation that has become more complex and affect more and more people. - Cette étude présente une analyse des évolutions comparées de la flexibilité du marché du travail de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale par rapport au Royaume depuis le début de la décennie 1990. Nous avons distingué la flexibilité quantitative et qualitative. La flexibilité quantitative a été étudiée sous ses aspects relatifs à la nature du contrat de travail, à la durée et à l'aménagement du temps de travail. La flexibilité qualitative a été étudiée sous ses aspects relatifs à l'inadéquation de qualification et à la déqualification ou sur-éducation. Les conclusions mettent en évidence une augmentation de ces deux formes de flexibilité plus importante en RBC que dans le Royaume et soulignent leurs interactions au sein d'une relation de travail devenue plus complexe et qui touche des publics plus étendus.
