Book Synopsis Flexibility, Mobility and the Labour Market by : George S. Callaghan
Download or read book Flexibility, Mobility and the Labour Market written by George S. Callaghan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997. Politicians of all shades argue that the labour market should be more flexible and workers more mobile. But what does this mean in reality? How flexible and mobile are workers likely to be? Is there an ideological base to the language of flexibility? These are some of the issues covered in this book. Data from a large factory and office is used to argue that the macro labour market consists of non-competitive work groups where strongly held views and values represent a substantial barrier to simplistic definitions of flexibility and mobility. The analysis takes place in three chapters, dealing with recruitment for work, skills used in work and perceptions of different types of work and workers. The findings suggest that non-economic forces (such as institutional, social, historical and political phenomena) strongly influence the creation of separate work cultures. Furthermore, it is argued that the reason for differences between work groups being articulated in a defensive fashion reflects the climate of fear in the labour market, where flexibility is associated with a loss of the (often limited) power, control and influence workers have over their position in the labour market.
Book Synopsis Labour Market Evolution by : George Grantham
Download or read book Labour Market Evolution written by George Grantham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-02-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have modern labour markets developed? Both labour economists and economic historians agree that it is necessary to look at labour markets in their historical context. Labour Market Evolution does just this. The contributors examine the operation and development of labour markets in Western Europe and North America since 1500. They address the key questions in this complicated process using new quantitative evidence. First, how closely connected were geographically distant labour markets? Second, how flexible were markets in the past - did wages change in response to demand shocks? Did workers move across space and occupations in response to cyclical or seasonal conditions. Third, were relationships between employees and employers short-term or long-term? Why did relationships change, and what were the implications for the flexibility and integration of markets? In examining these factors, this volume draws on modern labour economic theory and up-to-date quantitative techniques to show how current traditions and systems have evolved.
Book Synopsis Labour Productivity and Flexibility by : Edward J. Amadeo
Download or read book Labour Productivity and Flexibility written by Edward J. Amadeo and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-12-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about two polemical issues in labour studies, namely, the notions and determinants of labour productivity and flexibility. This book attempts to develop the notion of labour input flexibility or the capacity of workers to adapt to changes in the environment and its relation with labour productivity. The role of institutions, employment practices, capital-labour relations and labour market policies in determining labour flexibility is emphasized. The chapters look at the experiences of industrialized countries (European countries, the USA, Canada and Japan) and three Latin American countries (Brazil, Chile and Mexico).

Book Synopsis The Dynamics of Asian Labour Markets by : John Benson
Download or read book The Dynamics of Asian Labour Markets written by John Benson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia has undergone rapid economic transformation over the past two decades. Despite its constant economic growth, the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis and the resulting surge in unemployment highlighted the vulnerability of national systems that base development solely on economic growth. This book fills a major research gap by exploring the nature, dynamics and functioning of Asian labour markets in eight major Asian economies, including Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Vietnam, India and Malaysia. It examines the type of labour markets that exist in Asia; how they have responded to globalisation; and how flexible they are to changing social and economic conditions. The book analyses how the current transformation has impacted on the key parties, such as employers, employees, trade unions, governments, organisations and society as a whole, and considers the likely future trends and developments in Asian labour markets.

While much of the previous work focused on the external forms of labor market flexibility, this volume's major focus is on trends in labor flexibility at the enterprise level. The volume consists of three separate articles that present detailed information on the current state of internal labor market flexibility and worker participation in OECD member countries (Sweden, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom). The titles of the articles are: "Labour Flexibility in Enterprises: A Comparison of Firms in Four European Countries" (Bernard Brunhes); "National Experiences in Labor Market Flexibility" (Jacques Rojot); and "Worker Participation in Technological Change" (Wolfram Wassermann).

Secretariat and published by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ; [Washington, D.C. : OECD Publications and Information Centre. This book was released on 1986 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report on four issues raised by the current debate on labour market flexibility: labour costs, external and internal labour market mobility, and concealed employment. Examines the argument that high labour costs and wage inflexibility have priced workers out of the labour market, concluding that while wages are important in explaining unemployment, other factors are also significant. Discusses external labour market mobility (job mobility, geographic mobility and occupational change) as a means of adjusting to structural change, but finds that the link between mobility trends and labour market efficiency is difficult to ascertain. Looks at enterprise level flexibility, covering numerical and functional flexibility of the work force, and, finally, considers the phenomenon of concealed employment as a perverse form of labour market flexibility.

Book Synopsis Negotiating Flexibility by : Muneto Ozaki
Download or read book Negotiating Flexibility written by Muneto Ozaki and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 1999 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume discusses the extent to which the labor market is becoming more flexible in response to competitive pressures and examines the pivotal roles of collective bargaining in introducing this flexibility.Providing detailed information from 22 country studies, the book covers industrialized and developing nations across Western Europe, North and South America, and Asia. It analyzes the extent of flexibility introduced in these labor markets, as well as the changing role of the state in industrial relations, and the positions of employers and trade unions on labor market flexibility. This comprehensive study reviews the move toward flexibility in four principal areas: contracts of employment, pay, working time, and work organization.While closely examining the means of achieving greater labor market flexibility, this highly topical book addresses the various ways in which flexibility has been introduced, including through legislative action, collective bargaining, individual contracts of employment, and unilateral employer decisions. The findings in this book reveal that collective bargaining is the most effective means of introducing flexibility, as it engages both employers and workers in the process of change.In addition, the volume examines the outcomes of negotiations on flexibility at the central, sectoral, and enterprise levels, paying special attention to the trade-offs that arise, particularly in the areas of job security, working time, and workers' lifestyles.
