Summary: A new government, and new labour reform. In this case, decoding the inefficient, tortuous and incomprehensible reforms of the previous government is needed. This is clear from reading the Explanatory Memorandum to Royal De- cree Law 3/2012 of 12 February, on urgent measures to reform the labour market. Specifically, with regards to the Social Security System, the phenomenon of being unable to “save something for a rainy day” is becoming ever present on a day to day basis, given the decline in numbers of contributors, and the increase in un- employed and retired individuals. To this we must add, our society’s increased life expectancy, and the rising expense of funding our health care systems. The new labour reform attempts to address all of these factors. This being not because our leaders have come to terms with the new reality, but as the Explanatory Memorandum to the Royal Decree Law 3/2012, states, because it appears that the European and global economic institutions understand better what is occurring to the Spanish labour market.
