“…In this situation, the national models which were so visible in the 1990s to the then prolific comparative IR literature quickly started to be seen as ‘in flux’ (Bosch et al . ), ‘in crisis’ (Dølvik and Martin ) or even ‘failed ideas’ (Lehndorff ).…”

The article analyses industrial relations change in the six largest EU countries since 1992 in relation to increased internationalization pressures. Based on qualitative and quantitative analysis, it distinguishes between associational and state governance, and detects that despite a predominant, but not universal, trend of weakening trade unions and collective bargaining, no overall liberalization has occurred in the political regulation of employment (employment policies, welfare state, labour law, state support to collective bargaining, public sector). Rather than converging towards neoliberalism, industrial relations emerge as more politically contingent and dependent on multiple forms of power, which are affected by internationalization in different ways.

“…Quizás ante esta realidad del mercado de trabajo sea más realista y fácil responder con políticas sociales correctoras para aliviar la demanda de redistribución. Una posible respuesta es la Renta Mínima de Inserción, o ingreso garantizado, cuya idea está cada vez más extendida en Europa como respuesta a la consolidación del empleo atípico y del desempleo intermitente (que refl ejan aspectos estructurales de los mercados de trabajo, Bosch et al, 2009).…”

ResumenLa articulación entre las políticas de empleo y las políticas sociales condicionan la percepción subjetiva de incertidumbre los individuos. El modelo de mercado laboral tiene un peso determinante en la percepción de incertidumbre. El empleo en sí mismo ya no es sufi ciente garantía de ingresos seguros. El empleo a tiempo parcial y los contratos temporales generan una creciente demanda de políticas de redistribución de los ingresos en los países del Sur y Este de Europa. En los países escandinavos los mismos tipos de contratos laborales generan menos desigualdad porque el empleo público contribuye a generar un "círculo virtuoso" que favorece las políticas de igualdad y la conciliación entre la vida laboral y familiar. A nivel individual las actitudes pro-redistributivas las impulsan las mujeres, aquellas personas con incertidumbre en sus ingresos económicos y con bajo nivel de estudios. Por el contrario, quienes más confían en el éxito individual y el mérito son los jóvenes con estudios universitarios y aquellos que perciben ingresos económicos altos. Palabras claves: desigualdad; desempleo; trabajo a tiempo parcial; contratos temporales; protección social; gastos en desempleo. Uncertainty and Attitudes Pro-redistributive: Labour Market and Welfare Models in Europe AbstractThe link between employment policies and social policies infl uence the subjective perception of individual uncertainty. The labor market model has an important role on the perception of uncertainty. Employment in itself is not enough insurance guarantee income. Part-time work and temporary contracts generates a growing demand for policies of income redistribution in the South and Eastern Europe. In Scandinavia countries the same types of labor contracts generate less inequality because government employment contributes to a "virtuous circle" that favors equality policies and the reconciliation of work and family life. Individually pro-redistributive attitudes are implemented more by women, also for those with uncertainty in their income and low education. By contrast, those who rely more on individual success and merit are the young college-educated and those earning higher incomes.

“…Adopting defensive bargaining strategies, alongside the decentralization and 'flexibilization' of bargaining, unions found it more difficult to win or bargain adequate compensation from government for workers (Bosch, Lehndorff, and Rubery, 2009). In the largest public service across all countries -healthcare -a common trend has been the growth in low-wage work among nurses, nursing assistants, cleaners, and food providers.…”
