This chapter examines the influence of neo-liberalism on policies relating to work and employment and the consequences for labour standards and distributional outcomes. It begins by examining the emergence and development of neo-liberalism and goes on to discuss neo-liberal prescriptions for reforming labour markets and the relationship between social protection and work.
Labour Administration in Uncertain Times
Policy, Practice and Institutions
Edited by Jason Heyes and Ludek Rychly
The 2008 financial crisis marked the beginning of a prolonged and ongoing period of extreme economic turbulence that has created multiple challenges for both governments and national systems of labour administration. Difficult economic conditions are encouraging a reevaluation of established policies and institutions in the areas of labour, employment, social protection and industrial relations. This book analyses recent reforms in labour administration and national labour policies, charting their development and discussing the challenges and opportunities faced by governments, ministries of labour, labour inspectors, employer organisations and trade unions.
