The third quarter of the twentieth century was a golden age for
labor in the advanced industrial countries, characterized by rising
incomes, relatively egalitarian wage structures, and reasonable
levels of job security. The subsequent quarter-century has seen
less positive performance along a number of these dimensions. This
period has instead been marked by rapid globalization of economic
activity that has brought increased insecurity to workers. The
contributors to this volume, prominent scholars from the United
States, Europe, and Japan, distinguish four explanations for this
historic shift. These include 1) rapid development of new
technologies; 2) global competition for both business and labor; 3)
deregulation of industry with more reliance on markets; and 4)
increased immigration of workers, especially unskilled workers,
from developing countries. In addition to analyzing the causes of
these trends, the contributors also investigate important
consequences, ranging from changes in collective bargaining and
employment relations to family formation decisions and
incarceration policy.
