Examining the cases of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy, this article focuses on the security of labour market insiders, a key group in labour markets that is highly segmented. The security of labour market insiders is conceptualised as consisting of security in employment (protection against dismissals) and security in unemployment (protection against drops in income provided by unemployment insurance and assistance). Using changes in national laws, the article charts and compares labour market change along these two dimensions across these four Southern European countries. Because labour market reform has not been restricted to Southern Europe, the article also compares these developments to broader changes in the countries of the Eurozone, using OECD and MISSOC data. Having demonstrated the degree to which the security of labour market insiders has diminished, the article concludes with an agenda for research on the policy dynamics of Southern European labour market reform in the wake of the financial crisis. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/138826271501700204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,9]],"date-time":"2017-03-09T14:45:31Z","timestamp":1489070731000},"page":"202-225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Austerity-Driven Labour Market Reforms in Southern Europe: Eroding the Security of Labour Market Insiders"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Amilcar","family":"Moreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"\u00c1ngel Alonso","family":"Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"C\u00e1tia","family":"Antunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Karamessini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Raitano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Glatzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"bibr1-138826271501700204","first-page":"187","volume":"11","author":"Ardy B.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Current Politics and Economics of Europe"},{"volume-title":"Annual Report by the Governor for 2013","year":"2014","author":"Bank of Greece","key":"bibr2-138826271501700204"},{"key":"bibr3-138826271501700204","first-page":"9","volume":"57","author":"Bayl\u00f3s A.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Revista de Derecho Social"},{"key":"bibr4-138826271501700204","first-page":"1","volume":"14","author":"Bentolila S.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Apuntes Fedea Laboral"},{"volume-title":"The Political Economy of Work Security and Flexibility.
