In Sweden you cannot fire people on permanent contracts (that you need to give after 2 years) if you still require their work, i.e., you cannot fire someone without cause and then hire someone else to their exact job. In the Netherlands it is also extremely difficult to get rid of an employee with a permanent contract that you need to eventually give to them. In all cases I personally know of, permanent contract employees were basically paid by the company to agree to leave.

Does this not create an incentive for companies to rotate through short term workers rather than keep anyone on for more than 2 years?

The 2 years is an extreme if you abuse the system. Standard is 6 month probation and then your employment becomes permanent.
