flexicurity
 n.— «The goal is to attract the attention of EU policy makers to the Danish labour market, which is as flexible as the UK labour market. At the same time, employees benefit from a degree of security at a similar level to that offered by the Swedish labour market. The term “flexicurity” has thus been coined together from “flexibility and security.”» —“Growing EU interest in ‘The Danish Way’” Denmark.dk Aug. 9, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
