MADRID, 31 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The situation of the labor market in Spain "has improved a lot" in the last decade, as highlighted by the Secretary General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Mathias Cormann, for whom the implemented labor reforms "have contributed important way" to this positive evolution.

"The reforms have contributed significantly to improving the labor market," said the Australian during his speech at the Wake Up Spain conference cycle, organized by 'El Español'.

The OECD Secretary General has pointed out the changes in temporary contracts and in the ability of companies to adapt to changing economic circumstances.

In this sense, Cormann recalled that, previously, temporary contracts were very negative for workers, who were the ones who ended up "paying the price", with worse access to housing and professional development.

"That is why now there has been a change and there has been an improvement in permanent contracts," he stressed, expressing his confidence that the reform will have positive effects on the employability of workers in the long term.

In this way, the OECD Secretary General considers that Spain can maintain this inertia on the basis of the 2020/21 reforms to solve some of the most important structural problems, including the participation of women in the labor market and employability. Of the youngs.
