Book Synopsis Minimum Wages in Central and Eastern Europe by : Guy Standing
Download or read book Minimum Wages in Central and Eastern Europe written by Guy Standing and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1980s, incomes have fallen sharply in most countries of Central and Eastern Europe, while unemployment and poverty rates have risen dramatically. In most countries during that period, the statutory minimum wage has been supposed to be an anchor of the social protection system and the wage structure, protecting the low-paid and those dependent on state benefits. Unfortunately for those affected, the level of the minimum wage has been allowed to drop to well below the "poverty level" and has ceased to protect anyone. This book considers the evidence and the implications of this development, and recommends a series of reforms.
Book Synopsis Wage bargaining under the new European Economic Governance by : Guy Van Gyes
Download or read book Wage bargaining under the new European Economic Governance written by Guy Van Gyes and published by ETUI. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the framework of the new European economic governance, neoliberal views on wages have further increased in prominence and have steered various reforms of collective bargaining rules and practices. As the crisis in Europe came to be largely interpreted as a crisis of competitiveness, wages were seen as the core adjustment variable for ‘internal devaluation’, the claim being that competitiveness could be restored through a reduction of labour costs. This book proposes an alternative view according to which wage developments need to be strengthened through a Europe-wide coordinated reconstruction of collective bargaining as a precondition for more sustainable and more inclusive growth in Europe. It contains major research findings from the CAWIE2 – Collectively Agreed Wages in Europe – project, conducted in 2014–2015 for the purpose of discussing and debating the currently dominant policy perspectives on collectively-bargained wage systems under the new European economic governance.

Book Synopsis A European Minimum Wage: Implications for Poverty and Macroeconomic Imbalances by : Ms.Enrica Detragiache
Download or read book A European Minimum Wage: Implications for Poverty and Macroeconomic Imbalances written by Ms.Enrica Detragiache and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hypothetical European Minimum Wage (MW) set at 60 percent of each country’s median wage would reduce in-work poverty but have limited effects on overall poverty, as many poor households do not earn a wage near MW and higher unemployment, higher prices, and a loss of social insurance benefits may erode direct benefits. Turning to competitiveness, since the MW increase to reach the European standard would be larger in euro area countries with excessive external surpluses, the associated real appreciation should help curb existing imbalances. However, a few countries with already weak external positions would experience an undesirable real appreciation.

Book Synopsis Cross-Country Report on Minimum Wages by : International Monetary Fund. European Dept.
Download or read book Cross-Country Report on Minimum Wages written by International Monetary Fund. European Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a cross-country report on minimum wages. In the past few years, many countries in Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) have increasingly turned to minimum wage policies. Throughout the region, statutory minimum wages had been in place at least since the early 1990s, but they were typically set at relatively moderate levels and affected relatively few workers. Minimum wages have risen sharply relative to both average wages and labor productivity. Minimum wages often affect relatively more workers in CESEE than in Western Europe. Governments are the key players in the minimum wage determination in CESEE countries.

This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld (Wirtschaft und Gesundheit), course: Economics, language: English, abstract: The EU countries are by far not equal when it comes to wage distribution. The types of minimum wages, their calculation and levels vary immensely. A percentage of the median national monthly wage of each member state would consider these differences. Moreover, all the stakeholders – governments, NGOs, trade unions and citizens – need to be involved in the implementation process. The central questions of this paper are the following: Would a European Minimum Wage be beneficial for the people? What is necessary for the implementation of a European Minimum Wage and how should it be set up? To answer these questions, concrete possibilities for the enforcement of a European Minimum Wage will be elaborated. Therefore, prevailing minimum wage regulations and their outcomes need to be presented, as well as related EU mechanisms which would enable the development. First, general aspects of minimum wages will be discussed, followed by the status quo in the EU member countries concerning the degree of coverage, levels and trends. There are various EU institutions that could support and enhance the process of creating a European Minimum Wage: The most relevant ones will be introduced here. Furthermore, necessities that a European Minimum Wage should comply with are pointed out, as well as possible implementations with respect to those. In a conclusion, the most important outcomes will be emphasized. As national minimum wages are becoming more and more popular in the member states, there has been an ongoing discussion on whether the EU should set up a European policy and how this could look like. In 2006, Jean-Claude Juncker, former prime minister of Luxembourg and nowadays President of the European Council, claimed “the creation of a European Minimum Wage” in a speech on the conference of German Catholics. 1993, the member states were requested to “take appropriate measures to ensure that the right to an equitable wage is protected” (European Trade Union, 1993) by the European Commission. Only because some countries neglected the mention of wages in the “Charter of Fundamental Rights in the European Union”, there is no direct engagement of the EU in national wage policies yet.
Book Synopsis Minimum Wage Regimes by : Irene Dingeldey
Download or read book Minimum Wage Regimes written by Irene Dingeldey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book goes beyond traditional minimum wage research to investigate the interplay between different country and sectoral institutional settings and actors’ strategies in the field of minimum wage policies. It asks which strategies and motives, namely free collective bargaining, fair pay and/or minimum income protection, are emphasised by social actors with respect to the regulation and adaptation of (statutory) minimum wages. Taking an actor-centered institutionalist approach, and employing cross-country comparative studies, sector studies and single country accounts of change, the book relates institutional and labour market settings, actors’ strategies and power resources with policy and practice outcomes. Looking at the key pay equity indicators of low wage development and women’s over-representation among the low paid, it illuminates our understandings about the importance of historical junctures, specific constellations of social actors, and sector- and country-specific actor strategies. Finally, it underlines the important role of social dialogue in shaping an effective minimum wage policy. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and policy-makers and practitioners in industrial relations, international human resource management, labour studies, labour market policy, inequality studies, trade union studies, European politics and political economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an all-encompassing and timely analysis of the EU regulatory framework deriving from the enactment of Directive 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages. In the first part, the book discusses the function of minimum wage policies in contemporary labour markets and the role of social partners and collective bargaining in governing minimum wage determinants and trends. The second part provides an article-by-article commentary of the Directive, including insights on crucial aspects such as the EU competence to intervene on wages, the concept of minimum wage adequacy, and the measurement and promotion of collective bargaining coverage. The third part assesses the impact of the Directive across the EU, focusing on the main systemic implications of the Directive as well as on the structural changes that Member States will need to implement. With contributions written by scholars and stakeholders from across Europe, the book sheds light on one of labour law's most fundamental objectives – to provide for adequate minimum wages. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, policy makers, trade unionists and employers' representatives.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the paradox of rich countries of Western Europe, who have high levels of poverty whilst proclaiming its eradication as one of the primary social and economic goals. It looks at how policies often do not achieve their goals, why countries need mechanisms to reduce wage inequality and why they choose to provide universal benefits instead of systems of selective benefits targeted at the poor. Along with cross-countries comparisons, the volume also presents analysis of the minimum income in France, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Ireland, Belgium, and Greece.
Book Synopsis Trade Union Cooperation in Europe by : Bengt Furåker
Download or read book Trade Union Cooperation in Europe written by Bengt Furåker and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses transnational trade union cooperation in Europe – its forms, focuses, conditions, and obstacles. It provides an overview of existing trade union cooperation and includes detailed analyses of two specific questions: the debates on statutory minimum wages and the Posting of Workers Directive. Drawing on empirical research, the authors take a comparative approach, considering national industrial relations regimes as well as individual sectors. With the ongoing processes of integration in Europe, it has become increasingly important for unions to cooperate with regard to employers and EU institutions. The authors illustrate the interconnections between national and European industrial relations, and explore the process of European integration in labour markets. Illustrating the potential for and difficulties involved in deepening trade union cooperation across Europe, this work is a vital read for trade unionists, researchers and students interested in European trade unionism and labour markets.
