Governments are inhibited by the knowledge that labor-market reform may well result in a short-term increase in unemployment (and thus further fiscal deterioration), because employers will find it cheaper to fire personnel. The hope is that greater flexibility would also translate into a greater willingness to hire in an economic upturn.
政府被劳动力市场改革可能会造成短期失业剧增（从而导致财政进一步恶化）的观念束缚住了，因为这样一来雇主解雇工人成本会更低。希望在于，提高劳动力市场灵活性可以形成经济景气时更大的招聘意愿。
