Resumen

La crisis ha tenido un impacto en la economía y en los mercados laborales europeos cuyo efecto se ha mostrado diferencial entre países. Este hecho ha aumentado la importancia del estudio de la resiliencia laboral. Este estudio busca identificar qué estrategias han conducido a un resultado resiliente y no resiliente en Europa mediante el uso del Análisis Comparativo Cualitativo (QCA). Los resultados han identificado dos configuraciones, explicando el 57% de los países resilientes y cuatro configuraciones que explican el 74% de los casos no resilientes. En primer lugar, los resultados han mostrado que una misma estrategia puede tener un impacto diferente subrayando la idiosincrasia de cada país como factor decisivo para la resiliencia. En segundo lugar, las estrategias resilientes destacaron la “flexibilidad”, al aumentar el empleo temporal junto con otras condiciones, como factor clave para escapar de la crisis. Finalmente, los resultados no resilientes subrayaron el desequilibrio entre las dimensiones de flexiguridad y el efecto de la caída de la actividad económica como principales causas de un resultado negativo.
