Labour Market Dynamics

Introduction

On a recent period, profound changes affecting the functioning of labour markets closed to own certain professions. They are reflected in particular by adopting new rules to respond to the stresses encountered in these markets while ensuring the maintenance of their close 2. By closing or fence, we mean the restriction and control of access to certain professions, ensuring the technical competence and coaching methods of practicing the activity primarily by the action of regulatory State (Demazière, 2008). However, the introduction of new rules is done today on terms varied, combining increased inflows, openness to new audiences, reform of training systems, renewed forms of mobility in mid-career, or yet significant changes in the professionalization of correspondants.Ces changes are reflected in the regulated professions which section is particularly interested. At the free services, free competition and free movement of workers within the Community, the regulation of services offered and how access to these labor markets always generate much debate and analyzes.

To illustrate these changes, we propose to study three regulated professions, apparently far removed, but have in common is subject to tensions forcing them to reconsider, according to neighboring logic, their mode of regulation, adjustment and professionalization. These are the occupations of fishermen, nurses and accountants (Barker, 2007). Their common feature lies in the rules that control access, it being possible to holders of a well-defined and mandatory certification. For businesses, tensions crystallize mainly as dedifficultés to recruit and stabilize their workforce, but these difficulties do not merely reflect imbalances between supply and demand, but also reveal the limits of existing institutional forms specific struggling to optimize in a renewed economic and demographic environment (Blanpain, Tiraboschi & Ortiz, 2008). Also, these tensions should they not be considered solely in terms of quantity of an unfavorable demographic situation, that better management would address anticipated flows. They will also require review regulations that underpin the functioning of these markets, and which appear more suited to current challenges and sociological renovation of their assets, and professionalization of European harmonization (Garcia, Anker & Pinnelli, 2003).

Discussion

However, as we try to show, the changes affecting certain rules do not undermine-the closed nature of these markets. The barriers to entry, which control access to these professions, remain, and even increased (Knight & Song, 2005). Therefore, if we speak of openness is to highlight some breaks in the management practices of recruitment or mobility, and willingness of actors to look around rules required, new room for maneuver.

In the first part, we present the theoretical background that allows us to account for closed markets and their dynamics. In the second part, we examine recent developments in three markets studied, showing why and how they are forced to rethink their regulations but may not waive their closure (Barker, 2007). One of the findings from a cross-reading of developments in each market studied, as a result of interactions among stakeholders in flux, show that the argument of C. Paradeise (1988), that the work of fence market ...
