Je suis licencie(e) (25 questions-reponses pour me defendre) apporte des reponses pratiques aux questions que se posent les salaries menaces ou en cours de licenciement. On evalue a un peu plus d'un million le nombre de licenciements annuels en France. Il s'agit de la grande peur des deux dernieres decennies et qui devrait malheureusement perdurer. Je suis licencie(e) (25 questions-reponses pour me defendre) a pour objet d'aider les salaries qui font l'objet d'un licenciement en leur indiquant la marche a suivre : de quel type de licenciement s'agit-il ? Quelle est la procedure applicable ? A quelles indemnites peuvent-ils pretendre ?

Welfare through Work
High economic growth and relatively equitable distribution were among the most conspicuous characteristics of the postwar Japanese political economy. The lure of the Japanese model, however, has faded since the 1990s. Growth is in short supply and equality a thing of the past. InWelfare through Work, Mari Miura looks in depth at Japan's social protection system as a factor in the contemporary malaise of the Japanese political economy.
The Japanese social protection system should be understood as a system of \"welfare through work,\" Miura suggests, because employment protection has functionally substituted for income maintenance. A gendered dual system in the labor market allowed a high degree of labor market flexibility, which enabled Japan to achieve high employment rates as well as strong legal protections for regular workers. In recent years, conservatives gradually replaced the productivism and cooperatism that had resulted from earlier party politics with neoliberalism, which, in turn, hampered the effectiveness of the welfare through work system.
In Miura's view, the dynamics of partisan competition fostered ideational renewal, just as the political visions and ideologies of the governing party strongly affected the design of the social protection system. In the scenario Miura describes, the partisan dynamics since the 1990s resulted in the policy change that further undermined the social protection system, and the ensuing disruption has been felt throughout Japan.

The Perceived Fairness of Layoffs in Germany: Participation, Compensation, or Avoidance?
This study analyses to what extend and under what circumstances layoffs are accepted in Germany. Principles of distributive justice and rules of procedural justice form the theoretical framework of the analysis. Based on this, hypotheses are generated, which are tested empirically in a telephone survey conducted between East and West Germans in 2004 (n = 3036). The empirical analysis accounts for the different points of views of implicated stakeholders and impartial spectators. Key findings are: (1) The management of a company can increase the acceptance of layoffs if the employees get some participation rights. (2) For impartial spectators generous compensation for those made redundant leads to a higher degree of perceived fairness. But job alliances are not even preferred to layoffs without measures to soften the blow of job loss. (3) Implicated stakeholders accept job alliances and perceive wage cuts as more fair than layoffs. However, compensation does not have the expected impact.

The Lost Generation: Life Course Dynamics and Xiagang in China
To alleviate the impact of mass unemployment, China adopted a strategy known as xiagang, whereby workers made redundant remain on an enterprise's payroll for two to three years. Hung and Chiu focus on xiagang in Beijing, where political sensitivity to the social repercussions of their growing number is perhaps most acute.
