Download or read book Labour Markets Industrial Relations and Human Resources Management in Europe written by Roger Blanpain and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social models are always contested and ambiguous. This is particularly evident in the field of human resources management, where decisions that ultimately affect the patterns of social relations are made every day. This collection of in-depth essays focuses on some central human resources elements – gender, youth, ageing, educational background, training, workers’ rights – providing an up-to-date summary and analysis of how employers are dealing – and should be dealing – with workforce characteristics under current globalized forces. The emphasis is on Europe, but valuable insights come also from Chile, Canada, and the United States. Sixteen experts discuss such important issues as the following: the shift from intervention in favour of workers’ rights towards corporate neo-liberal policies; importance of transnational framework agreements in countries where a trade union; tradition is lacking; evidence that provision of childcare promotes female labour market participation; short-time working, labour hoarding, and labour underutilization; enhancing training policies for employable skills; enforcement of corporate social responsibility; alarmingly high rates of precarious employment; worldwide decline of full-time permanent positions; pension system reform; over-exposure of young people to non-standard employment; discouraged workers; regional imbalances in employment policy; and weaknesses of education programmes in connection with the world of work. Industrial relations and human resources professionals as well as employment lawyers worldwide will welcome this incisive analysis, and academics everywhere are sure to benefit from its evidence, insights, and proposals. The book presents a selection of papers from the international conference in commemoration of Marco Biagi entitled Europe 2020: Comparative Perspectives and Transnational Action, held at the Marco Biagi Foundation in Modena, Italy. 17–19 March 2011.
Download or read book Victims of the Chilean Miracle written by Peter Winn and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-20 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile was the first major Latin American nation to carry out a complete neoliberal transformation. Its policies—encouraging foreign investment, privatizing public sector companies and services, lowering trade barriers, reducing the size of the state, and embracing the market as a regulator of both the economy and society—produced an economic boom that some have hailed as a “miracle” to be emulated by other Latin American countries. But how have Chile’s millions of workers, whose hard labor and long hours have made the miracle possible, fared under this program? Through empirically grounded historical case studies, this volume examines the human underside of the Chilean economy over the past three decades, delineating the harsh inequities that persist in spite of growth, low inflation, and some decrease in poverty and unemployment. Implemented in the 1970s at the point of the bayonet and in the shadow of the torture chamber, the neoliberal policies of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship reversed many of the gains in wages, benefits, and working conditions that Chile’s workers had won during decades of struggle and triggered a severe economic crisis. Later refined and softened, Pinochet’s neoliberal model began, finally, to promote economic growth in the mid-1980s, and it was maintained by the center-left governments that followed the restoration of democracy in 1990. Yet, despite significant increases in worker productivity, real wages stagnated, the expected restoration of labor rights faltered, and gaps in income distribution continued to widen. To shed light on this history and these ongoing problems, the contributors look at industries long part of the Chilean economy—including textiles and copper—and industries that have expanded more recently—including fishing, forestry, and agriculture. They not only show how neoliberalism has affected Chile’s labor force in general but also how it has damaged the environment and imposed special burdens on women. Painting a sobering picture of the two Chiles—one increasingly rich, the other still mired in poverty—these essays suggest that the Chilean miracle may not be as miraculous as it seems. Contributors.

Download or read book Private Employment Agencies The Impact of ILO Convention 181 1997 and the Judgement of the European Court of Justice of 11 December 1997 written by Marco Biagi and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-04-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, the public employment agency reigned like a King over labour markets. Under the precept of ILO Convention NR 96 of 1949 on Fee Charging Employment Agencies, the public employment office enjoyed a fully-fledged monopoly of the labour markets of many countries. `Labour is not a commodity' was (and is) the principle. There was no room in the labour market for private fee charging employment agencies. In those early years, following World War II, the monopoly of the Official Employment Office was widely accepted and not really discussed as a matter of principle. the reason was simple. the labour market was fairly uniform and not really diversified. Ford-ism was at its highest and Europe was enjoying 30 glorious years of ongoing economic growth. There was social welfare and economic progress. the social partners (employers' associations and trade unions) effectively managed labour relations in a more or less centralised way. Those days are gone. Indeed, since then tremendous political and ideological changes have taken place in the labour markets. the most significant political change has been the establishment of the European Union and the EEA with the accompanying free movement of labour as a fundamental right, thus creating a European labour market. There is now an explosion of private services in the labour markets, to fulfil the increasingly specific needs of enterprises. International bodies like the ILO and the EU have adapted their standards to these new developments. the ILO adopted a new Convention in 1997 (No.181) concerning private employment agencies, while landmark case law of the European Court of Justice abolished the monopoly of the Official Employment Office regarding the labour market. Private enterprises are now able to propose a total package of services for the labour markets, vocational training included. the scope of possibilities for putting workers at the disposal of users has been dramatically widened. These and other issues were discussed at an international conference, convened by the Euro-Japan Institute for Law and Business (Leuven, 1998) in co-operation with the ILO and the EU. This Bulletin contains the discussion and reports on developments in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the Netherlands, UK and the USA. It looks ahead and prepares its readers for the jump into the 21st century.

Book excerpt: Con un mercado laboral agónico, no es de extrañar que la expatriación sea una de las mayores preocupaciones en el mundo de los Recursos Humanos. Por primera vez, muchísimas compañías españolas, hasta ahora solo activas en el mercado doméstico, ven su salida a otros países como la mejor opción para seguir creciendo y desarrollándose. Ante esta situación tanto los profesionales de Recursos Humanos como toda aquella persona interesada en conocer las implicaciones de una asignación internacional necesitan estar al tanto de cuáles son los aspectos críticos a la hora de gestionar de manera eficaz la movilidad internacional.

En ¿Trabajar fuera? se encontrarán las mejores respuestas a preguntas tales sobre cómo llevar a cabo con éxito la expatriación de los empleados de una empresa a un puesto de trabajo en otro país, qué obligaciones fiscales, laborales y de Seguridad Social tienen la empresa y el trabajador, qué retribuciones, beneficios y seguros son los más apropiados, cómo encontrar una vivienda adecuada, qué problemas presenta si se muda con su familia o si hacen falta visados o documentos especiales, así como los aspectos claves en la incorporación a España de nacionales de otros países.
