With growing concern about the conditions facing low wage workers and new challenges to traditional forms of labor market protection, this book offers a timely analysis of the purpose and effectiveness of minimum wages in different European countries. Building on original industry case studies, the analysis goes beyond general debates about the relative merits of labor market regulation to reveal important national differences in the functioning of minimum wage systems and their integration within national models of industrial relations.
There is no universal position on minimum wage policy followed by governments and social partners. Nor is it true that trade unions consistently support minimum wages and employers oppose them. The evidence in this book shows that interests and objectives change over time and differ across industries and countries. Investigating the pay bargaining strategies of unions and employers in cleaning, security, retail, and construction, this book's industry case studies show how minimum wage policy interacts with collective bargaining to produce different types of pay equity effects. The analysis provides new findings of 'ripple effects' shaped by trade union strategies and identifies key components of an 'egalitarian pay bargaining approach' in social dialogue. The lessons for policy are to embrace an inter-disciplinary approach to minimum wage analysis, to be mindful of the interconnections with the changing national systems of industrial relations, and to interrogate the pay equity effects.

Описание: Previous wage studies of the period before World War I found that real wages remained stable from 1890 to 1914 despite the continued growth of the economy. This study indicates that this conclusion was based on faulty statistics. Using new estimates of money wages and a new cost-of-living index, Mr. Rees shows that real wages rose considerably in t

Описание: A deep question in economics is why wages and salaries don`t fall during recessions. This is not true of other prices, which adjust relatively quickly to reflect changes in demand and supply. Bewley`s findings contradict most theories of wage rigidity and provide fascinating insights into the problems that prevent labor markets from clearing.

Описание: Challenging the view that unemployment is determined by structural characteristics of the labour market and the social benefit system, this volume shows that macroeconomic policies and investment in capital stock have a major role to play. It also states that nominal wage setting in the labour market affects the price level.

Описание: Known for his seminal work in efficiency-wage theory, Andrew Weiss surveys recent research in the field and presents new results. He shows how wage schedules affect the kinds of workers a firm employs and how well those workers perform on the job. Using straightforward examples, he demonstrates how efficiency-wage theory can explain labor market ou

Описание: A major study of the role of women in the labour market of Industrial Revolution Britain. Joyce Burnette demonstrates that gender differences in occupations and wages were largely driven by market forces and resulted from actual differences in productivity. She shows that rather than harming women competition actually helped them.
