In Europe, the emergence of labour market flexibility has been connected with the collapse of full employment and the post-war colonial system, the social security payments linked to the expansion was unable to maintain. In the new technology revolution, the world's political, economic and other earth-shaking changes have taken place, the structure of employment, and the concept of employment has also undergone a profound change, the problem of unemployment as troubled countries in the world became an universal problem. In the face of persistent high unemployment, most Western countries have abandoned the Keynesian doctrine employment policies, began following neo-liberal employment policies, took labour market flexibility reform. United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and by the flexibility of the labour market reforms, adopted a series of positive measures, such as deregulation of the labour market control, reform of the social welfare system, strengthening vocational training, promoting employment, and promote economic growth. Britain is often seen as a traditional sense of the flexible labour market, and compared with other European countries, the United Kingdom is able to implement a flexible labour market reform rooted in the institutional basis of its unique historical and cultural traditions. Britain's self-help spirit at the core of the welfare system and liberalism as its historical and cultural traditions to the reform of labour market flexibility inherent and fundamental reasons.The labor market is a typical Anglo-Saxon model with a strong competitive labour market, low welfare, relatively low tax features. By the 20th century the United Kingdom since the 1980s flexibility of the labour market reforms, the economy has sustained growth, inflation remained low, the employment rate rising.So far from the reform and opening-up, China has made noteworthy achievements. At the same time, with the deepening of reform and opening up and development of the socialist market economic system gradually established, China is also facing the increasingly serious problem of unemployment, especially after joining the World Trade Organization, the unemployment problem will become China's economic development and social stability constraints factors. Therefore, the study of the British labour market flexibility and reform on China's employment reform has an important reference.This paper is divided into four parts:The first part described the main content of British labour market flexibility reform. British labour market reforms in the relaxed controls on the labour market and reduce the rigidity of the labour market at the same time limiting the rights of trade unions, to weaken the power of trade unions; welfare system and carried out a bold reform has stimulated the employment of workers motivated; United Kingdom through the taxation system reform to achieve a lower level of taxation, to find people more incentive to work and improve the degree of labour market flexibility. In addition, the Government through the development of active training programmes and to optimize the employment environment.In the second part, I described the root causes of the Britain's labour market flexibility reform. The main source of British labour market reform is the failure of Keynesian employment theory and the implementation of neo-liberalism employment theory. British labour market flexibility reform's system root is Britain's welfare state system, the United Kingdom to implement the flexibility of the labour market reform, but these changes did not challenge the main political formation lies in the nature of the British welfare state. The historical roots of British labour market flexibility reform is the historical tradition of liberalism, the British have deep historical traditions of liberalism, which is the very important implementation of neo-liberalism under the guidance of the reform. Britain labour market flexibility's reality root is cause of the changes in the structure of employment caused by international environment changes, the United Kingdom's slow employment growth, the unemployment rate has been high, making the United Kingdom had to reposition its labour market policy.In the third part, I concluded the British labour market flexibility in the implementation and the results of the reform. After the flexibility of the labour market reforms, to a certain extent, the United Kingdom overcome the "stagflation" phenomenon, its economic development has played a positive role in the labour market flexibility in the process of the reform of the British economy has grown rapidly, the situation of improve gender imbalance in the labour force participation has declined.
