title: Demographic change, labour force dynamics and employment: new problems and old politics?
abstract: The paper examines the problems for social protection and economic growth that arise from the development of a dualistic labor force-- divided into a privileged core and a disadvantaged periphery--created by the dynamic interaction of labor supply rigidities and rapid technological growth.  It concluded that reforms of labor market institutions have to be introduced in order to solve the existing problems.
