Emerging Labor Market Institutions for the Twenty-First Century: National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report

Editat de Richard B. Freeman, Joni Hersch, Lawrence Mishel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2007
Emerging Labor Market Institutions for the Twenty-First Century provides the first in-depth assessment of how effectively labor market institutions are responding to the decline of private sector unions.

This important volume provides case studies of new labor market institutions and new directions for existing institutions. While non-union institutions are unlikely to fill the gap left by the decline of unions, the findings suggest that emerging groups and unions might together improve some dimensions of worker well-being. Emerging Labor Market Institutions is the story of workers and institutions in flux, searching for ways to represent labor in the new century.
