Abstract
The dissertation deals with social inequalitiy between insiders and outsiders in Europe and its relation to employment protection legislation. In this regard, it focuses particularly on differences in unemployment. The dissertation is cumulative and captures four different empirical studies each highlighting specific aspects in this contexts. The studies provide insights on inequalities between skill groups, men and women and elderly with different employment biographies. On the basis of the insider-outsider theory of Lindbeck and Snower it was assumed that the relaxation of employment protection legislation should lead to a reduction of social inequality. However, the results show that there is no general mechanism. The relation between employment protection legislation and unemployment strongly depends on present contextual factors.
