Abstract:

Labour market developments in post-Soviet Russia have presented liberal economists with an apparent paradox: the absence of mass compulsory redundancies in the face of substantial collapse in output. The seemingly irrational `labour hoarding' in Russian enterprises has been interpreted as either influenced by workers choosing a wage cut in exchange for job security, or enterprises resisting redundancies in order to obtain state funding, or as a result of rent-seeking firm behaviour. However, systematic research on employment decision-making in industrial enterprises presents another picture. By combining documentary sources with interviews conducted in six industrial enterprises in Russia, this article will suggest that the disproportionate correlation between employment and production decline lies in the fact that the acute technological and structural degradation of the post-Soviet economy has resulted in enterprise adjustment being made through demand for labour.

Abstract:

This paper explores the dynamics of enterprise restructuring in Russia since 1996 using newly available firm-level data from official sources and from original individual business case studies carried out in Russia’s regions. We assess empirically how the patterns of job creation and destruction are related to various aspects of enterprise restructuring across firms in different sectors and regions, and with different ownership forms, size, vintage, and performance characteristics. Our case-study evidence - based on more than 70 business visits - suggests that job destruction has taken place, but in some sectors and regions only to a limited degree, in large part due to institutional and incentive constraints and a still-widespread “socialist” corporate culture. The case studies also indicate job creation has materialized, particularly in sectors where the import-substitution effects of the 1998 ruble devaluation have been most pronounced. This case-study evidence is complemented by analysis of data provided by Goskomstat covering approximately 128,000 enterprises across 24 industrial sectors in all of the country’s 89 regions for 1996-1999. These data suggest that in the aggregate the typical Russian firm has experienced only modest downsizing - about 12 percent - in terms of number of employees. We also find evidence of particular sectors where there has been new entry by smaller firms and exit by larger, mature businesses. Except for a lull in 1998, there has been a steady increase in the rate of job creation; at the same time, job destruction rates have been declining, with a substantial drop in the 1998-99 periods. Employment shifts between regions have steadily increased over time, but across sectors and firm ownership types, employment shifts are “u-shaped”, with a pronounced decline in 1998. Firm size is found to be statistically correlated positively) with profitability; yet restructuring through changes in net employment growth does not appear to be related statistically to profitability. This suggests that there are efficiency improvements needed in Russia’s restructuring process.

Abstract:

This article investigates the influence of family structure and maternal employment on the development of attitudes among children, regarding the extent to which children endorse traditional or egalitarian gender role behavior among women. Two hypotheses are tested: father-absence hypothesis and role-restructuring hypothesis. Findings indicate that at the aggregate level, children from father-headed families have more traditional gender-related attitudes than mother-headed families, providing support for the father-absence hypotheses. However, substantial differences exist when controlling for maternal employment and sex of the respondent. Inclusion of maternal employment lends support to the role-restructuring hypothesis. For male respondents, support exists for the role-restructuring hypothesis, but there is no support for the father-absence hypothesis. However, for female respondents, there exists support for both the father-absence and role-restructuring hypotheses.

Abstract:

In this paper the author takes up the debate over the roots of gentrification. It is argued that gentrification is rooted in employment restructuring. The impacts of two important aspects of restructuring in London are explored, casualisation and feminisation of employment, and it is concluded that feminisation of professional employment has as yet had only a marginal impact on gentrification, whereas casualisation of professional employment has been an important influence. Survey data from two London boroughs are presented in support of the argument.

Abstract:

In 1968, the United Nations began viewing family planning as a human rights issue, relaxing the previous focus on population control. By the 1990s, UN documents empowered women in reproductive matters and urged governments to ensure women's access to a wider range of family planning services. However, after decades of widespread contraceptive usage, below-replacement fertility rates are once again worrying some governments in developed countries. This article traces policy and discourse changes relating to contraception, abortion and fertility decline, focusing on the `liberal' welfare states. Despite international pressure on governments, programs and discourse remain cross-nationally diverse, influenced by domestic politics and the relative strength of competing interest groups arguing about public funding, alternatives to `natural increase', maternal employment and the politics of choice.

Abstract:

This paper analyses the impact of external restructuring along value chains (including outsourcing, relocation and spatial concentration of activities) on work and employment. Drawing on findings of a European research project covering manufacturing and service industries, the paper highlights the dynamics of value chain reorganisation. Regarding employment consequences, it is argued that external restructuring leads to a fragmentation of employment and work as labour processes are stretched over organisational boundaries and workforces are divided by different employment contracts and terms and conditions. Generally, employment and working conditions worsen downstream in the value chain. However, because of increasing competition within value chains and networks, externalisation often no longer cushions the workforce of core firms against pressures and risks.

Abstract:

Global capitalist economic restructuring is affecting the working lives of American women. This article examines the growth of women's employment opportunities and the quality of their jobs as a consequence of the restructuring of employment, increasing flexibility of work, changing skill demands, and attempts to reduce hierarchy and increase workers' participation in the work process. The outlook for the 1990s is negative for many women, yet positive for a few if trends continue in their present direction.

Abstract:

Dominant sociological interpretations of the economic structures of industrial societies have long neglected the role of small scale economic activities. However, current rethinking, stimulated by attempts to explain economic restructuring in the 1980s, appears to offer petty capitalism and self-employment a more important role in the economy. Several versions of economic restructuring theory are examined critically and argued to continue to offer an inadequate account of the role of small scale enterprise in the economy and especially of the social reality of small scale enterprise ownership, organisational patterns and employment. Conceptual and theoretical issues relevant to a more direct focus on small scale economic activities are explored together with a review of studies of a wide range of aspects of such activities. The paper ends by arguing for the continuing importance of small scale economic activities in industrial societies and the need for analyses of economic restructuring and, more fundamentally economic sociology generally, to incorporate a proper recognition of small scale economic activities and self-employment.

Abstract:

The regulation of the restructuring employment processes that occurs in the course of the development of the economy and the evolution of its structure should be based on the selection of sectoral priorities and be accompanied by an assessment of this process in terms of its compliance with the needs of the development of progressive types of economic activity. In this regard, the problem of elaborating methodological approaches that ensure the orderliness and controllability of the process of restructuring employment, including objectifying the choice of progressive industries and assessing the quality of shifts in the sectoral structure of employment, is highly relevant. The article substantiates approaches to identifying sectoral priorities for restructuring employment based on the criteria of economic efficiency and involvement in the implementation of government programs and also proposes a sequential process for evaluating the quality of shifts in employment based on their compliance with the selected sectoral priorities. Within the framework of the proposed approaches, using the example of the labor market in Kazakhstan, the results obtained are presented, such as a sequence of analytical actions to determine the range of priority sectors, a matrix for identifying sectoral priorities for employment, a scheme for implementing a methodological approach to assessing the quality of shifts in the sectoral structure of employment. On the basis of the proposed approaches, an assessment of the quality of shifts in the sectoral structure of employment in Kazakhstan was carried out and conclusions were drawn about the insufficient correspondence of these shifts to the priorities of the country's economic development.

Abstract:

The publication presents changes that took place in human resource structures and human resource management in the Polish steel industry over the last thirty years. Changes in the structure and management of human resources in Poland are part of the global process of economic development that has been taking place worldwide over the past few decades (especially in Central and Eastern Europe). The Polish steel industry underwent repair restructuring during the transformation of the Polish economy (1990s). A restructuring process was implemented extensively. It encompassed ownership and property, products and technology, and employment and management. Upon the conclusion of recovery restructuring, steel companies began to build a competitive advantage on the market. Human resources are one aspect of competitiveness. Since the beginning of the transition in the Polish economy, efforts to rationalize employment as well as changes in human resource structures and management demonstrate the increasing adaptability of Polish companies with respect to world market competition requirements. The publication characterizes changes in structures and human resource management in the Polish steel industry. The choice of scope of analysis was dictated by the large scale of changes implemented as well as knowledge concerning employment restructuring in the Polish steel industry as held by the author of the publication.

Abstract:

To meet the requirements of global competition, the European Union (EU) places particular emphasis on the development of knowledge‑intensive, innovative industries. The pharmaceutical industry, as a high‑tech manufacturing subsection, has a long tradition in Europe. However, the distribution of pharmaceutical industry employment and value added is not even within the Union, and its temporal dynamics is also different. In the present paper, I examine the change of the structure of the pharmaceutical industry within the Union using country groups. I compare the development of pharmaceutical industry employment in the period between 2000 and 2018 in three country groups. I use a simple decomposition method to separate the effects of sector growth and labor productivity change on the change of pharmaceutical employment to find out how similarly this industry evolved in the different country groups. The analysis shows that while in the 12 original, i.e., pre–2004, member states (Core EU), employment slightly increased alongside a considerable increase in value added, the nine post‑socialist countries (PS9) achieved slightly greater value added expansion combined with substantial employment growth. Meanwhile, the four Visegrád countries (V4) achieved a value added growth similar to the PS9, but an even greater employment growth. This indicates that the part of the pharmaceutical industry operating with higher labor productivity is concentrating in the Core EU countries, while in the less developed post‑socialist countries, the part of the pharmaceutical industry with lower labor productivity is developing.

Abstract:

Under the Government's New Deal proposals to help create jobs for the young unemployed, employers are offered marginal employment subsidies. Such interventions involve relative changes in the firm's fixed and variable labour costs. In turn, cost changes have implications for both employment and hours of work. This study examines possible strengths and weaknesses of employment policies that are designed to price young unemployed into jobs by reducing related labour costs. It focuses on one such intervention, the major restructuring of employers' National Insurance Contributions (NICs) in the 1985 Budget. This is then linked to the New Deal measures.

Abstract:

over the past 20 years the labour markets of most industrialised countries have undergone a series of profound changes. These changes have been associated with significant changes in work processes, employment conditions, union density and industrial relations. This paper provides an overview of the labour market restructuring occurring in most industrialised societies. In addition to the growth in temporary, part-time work and self-employment, changes in the extent of agency labour, homework, telework, outsourcing, franchising and the timing of work are also considered. A series of complex interconnections are identified. It is argued that in many cases, the socio-economic consequences of these changes have been compounded by alterations to policies and laws dealing with industrial relations, labour markets, competitive tendering, privatisation and social security.

Abstract:

Based on a comparison of the employment trajectories of two cohorts of men and women in the agricultural sector in Sweden, this article gives an account of the past 50 years’ decline in employment in agriculture. The findings show that the decline of employment in agriculture was the result of fewer entries into the sector and more exits out of the sector. The findings also suggest that the restructuring of the agricultural sector has had greater effects on women than men, with women exiting the sector to a greater degree or never entering it to begin with.

Abstract:

Clerical workers are the largest single occupational grouping in Australia, and they are predominantly female. For most women, clerical work has meant poor pay, low status, few career prospects and little recognition of their skills. This paper looks at the potential of award restructuring to improve women's employment opportunities in this occupation. In particular it examines the restructuring of the Victorian Commercial Clerks' Award, and analyzes the obstacles that lie in the way of its translation into real benefits for female clerical workers. Comparisons are drawn with developments in public sector award restructuring. The paper looks at the structure of clerical employment in the private sector, and the implications of its distribution across all industries—the predominance of small firms and the absence of industry-based career paths. It goes on to apply a feminist perspective to the key issues of skill, training and careers in clerical work, arguing that it is essential to any analysis of the actual outcomes of award restructuring in this area. The paper concludes that award restructuring is an inappropriate mechanism for improving skills and career paths in such afeminized occupation. The paper uses data from a survey of clerical employees in a wide range of workplaces to illustrate the argument. The potential of award restructuring to address unequal pay among male and female clerks through the process of reclassifying women's skills is also considered. Finally, the significance of the low level of unionization among private sector clerical employees is discussed, raising further doubts about the real benefits of award restructuring.

Abstract:

The article examines changing employment relations in Norwegian warehouses, and conceptualises the increasing use of temporary agency workers as a redrawing of workplace geographies. The empirical basis for the analysis is four qualitative warehouse workplace studies, including focus group and interview data. The theoretical framework of the article combines an adapted version of the territory-place-scale-network (TPSN) framework developed by Bob Jessop, Neil Brenner and Martin Jones with the concepts of labour control and labour agency. The analysis shows how a networked recruitment system based on Swedish labour migrants, mediated via temporary work agencies, encourage workers to work their way through levels of employment insecurity in order to secure permanent employment. The article argues that the blurring and redrawing of legal boundaries through labour hire can be understood as a territorial strategy of control that affects the workplace as a scale of justice for trade unions. Moreover, the analysis shows how managerial control is conditioned by workers’ individual, habitual and collective agency.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to bring together two separate strands of the literature (politics and industrial relations) on civil service management and reform to enable consideration of the industrial relations implications of these changes. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is conceptual and has no empirical base. The paper is a general review of existing literature on the subject. Findings – The paper identifies the importance of historical legacy in both management and union behaviour in the civil service. By revisiting earlier civil service reforms, the reader is able to gain an understanding of the rationale for much of the current restructuring of the civil service. Additionally, any discussion of trade union behaviour should be located in the context of union tradition and evolution. Research limitations/implications – In being a general review, the paper does not report empirical evidence but instead provides the background for future research into civil service industrial relations and management. Originality/value – This paper is the first to provide a systematic review of management restructuring in the civil service whilst at the same time considering union responses. As such, the paper is of interest to academics and practitioners in the areas of both management and politics.

Abstract:

Using data from the China Urban Labour Survey conducted in five large Chinese cities at year end 2001, we quantify the nature and magnitude of shocks to employment and worker benefits during the period of economic restructuring from 1996 to 2001, and evaluate the extent to which adversely affected urban workers had access to public and private assistance. Employment shocks were large and widespread, and were particularly hard on older workers and women. During the period of economic restructuring, unemployment reached double figures in all sample cities and labour force participation declined by 8.9 per cent. Urban residents faced modest levels of wage and pension arrears, and sharp declines in health benefits. Public assistance programmes for dislocated workers had limited coverage, with most job-leavers relying upon private assistance to support consumption, mainly from other household members.

Abstract:

China’s socialist employment system has undergone radical changes since the 1990s along with enterprise restructuring. Surplus workers have been laid off from state-owned enterprises in large numbers. China’s policy program for the management of layoffs in this process of enterprise restructuring has been evaluated as an example of ‘good practices in labor administration’. In this paper, we use original field data collected in Beijing, supplemented by additional information from recent Chinese studies, to assess this evaluation. We apply for this purpose the criteria often used by development agencies to evaluate governance systems, namely, accountability, transparency, consistency, participation, and information flow. Using these criteria as a yardstick, we argue that the Chinese experience in reforming their employment system through massive layoffs and re-employment is better characterized as a classic case of ‘muddling through’ rather than a shining example of ‘good governance’.

Abstract:

Rural women's labor-force participation rates have increased rapidly over the past decade and a half, simultaneous with economic restructuring in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. This article examines women's labor-force participation and returns to employment within four nonmetropolitan counties in eastern Iowa, contiguous with three metropolitan areas. The job structures and job rewards of women employed in four industry groups in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan job locations are compared in the context of the constraints posed by commuting costs. Also examined are findings about the nature and extent of nonmetropolitan women's labor-force participation in the context of the employment restructuring trends in the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan portions of the study area.

Abstract:

This article develops a firm-level analysis of how the quality of employment relations following acquisition by private equity firms (PEFs) is contingent upon the strategic intent of those firms and the post-acquisition organizational choices they make. The efficiency gains that PEFs seek in acquired companies are expected to encourage restructuring towards a minimalist organization. However, the form such an organization takes is seen to depend on whether PEF strategy is oriented primarily towards extracting short-term value from acquired assets rather than towards renewing and developing those assets. Contrasts in the process of restructuring and in organizational form associated with these two strategies will have different implications for the quality of employment relations. The way in which PEFs restructure the companies or units they acquire is the key intervening factor between the strategic intent of PEFs and impact they have on the quality of employment relations.
