Exploring recent changes in employment practices in seven
industrialized countries (Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Sweden, and the United States) and in two essential
industries (automobile and telecommunications), Harry C. Katz and
Owen Darbishire find that traditional national systems of
employment are being challenged by four cross-national patterns.
The patterns, which are becoming ever more prevalent, can be
categorized as low-wage, human resource management,
Japanese-oriented, and joint team-based strategies. The authors go
on to show that these changing employment patterns are closely
related to the decline of unions and growing income inequality.
Drawing upon plant-level evidence on emerging employment practices,
they provide a comprehensive analysis of changes in employment
systems and labor-management relations. They conclude that while
the variation in employment patterns is increasing within
countries, evidence suggests that there is much commonality across
countries in the nature of that variation and also similarity in
the processes through which variation is appearing. Hence the term
"converging divergences."
