Assuming you mean the European Union by "Europe", this is 27 countries with 27 labour laws. I don't think this can be generalized. Only trade laws were unified in the EU.

The labour laws diversity is made even wider if you include non EU countries like Switzerland or the Balkans.

Just as an example Denmark follows the concept of Flexisecurity[1], easy to fire, but there is a good government safety net which prevents people from falling into poverty, while trying as hard as possible to find them a new income.

No I meant the geographical area. The EU is called the EU, the two should never be confused.

Good for Denmark ! Generalizations are never true. Specialized descriptions with all the cases covered on the other hand, are never read.

The wording of this struck me; is it better to lie than to go unheard?
