“…The main idea behind dual labor market theory (e.g., Doeringer & Piore, ; Lindbeck & Snower, ) is that labor markets are divided into primary and secondary sectors, with limited mobility between the two (see Davidsson & Naczyk, ). The main purposes of this division is to keep a primary workforce that secures the core skills of the company, while relying on the secondary market to adjust to cyclical demands and fluctuations.…”

Dualization theory posits that certain institutions cause dualization in the labour market, yet how institutions deepen the subjective insecurity divide between insiders and outsiders has not been examined. This paper examines this question using data from 23 European countries in 2008/9. Results show that the subjective employment insecurity divide between permanent and temporary workers varies significantly across different countries. Corporatist countries, with stronger unions, have larger subjective insecurity divides between permanent and temporary workers. However, this is because permanent workers feel more secure in these countries rather than because temporary workers are more exposed to feelings of insecurity.

“…Recent literatures on the 'dualisation' of societies have suggested that as the distribution and coverage of social programmes have deteriorated, recent welfare states reforms have perpetuated the structures of advantage and disadvantage in the labour market, and contributed to a politics that enforces divides between 'insiders' and 'outsiders' (Davidsson and Naczyk 2009;Palier and Thelen 2010). The evidence here suggests that public sector 'modernization', 'marketization', and reform is having similar political consequences.…”

“…However, if British literatures have begun to move these debates forward, existing comparative welfare research has not yet analyzed these reversals in public sector services and employment, instead focusing primarily on spending, governance, and policy reform. The most recent current of welfare state research on 'Dualisation' has added to our knowledge about public policy changes and their political causes and political impacts by exploring how mean-testing and private provision arrangements are institutionalizing economic inequality throughout Western Europe (Davidsson and Naczyk 2009;Palier and Thelen 2010;). But it too says little about how public employment and public sector collective bargaining arrangements have themselves been overhauled and reworked as part of broader trends intended to lower labour costs.…”

This article argues that recent comparatives literatures on the welfare state have yet to adequately consider the public sector and how governments have reshaped their public services. Drawing on macrolevel data from the OECD, qualitative studies, and trade union research, it is claimed that governments have substantially remade their administrative and financial procedures in order to cut expenditures and lower labour costs. It is also contended that because of financial globalization and rising debt, states have made a series of reforms to public sector industrial relations. These have worsened wages, working conditions, and jobs throughout the public sector. It is concluded that such developments are central to reforming the nature of state functioning across North America and Western Europe. This is the first study to report on government reforms to fiscal policies, public sector services, and public sector labour forces in 13 OECD countries between 1980-2005. RésuméCet article avance que les récentes recherches comparatives sur l'État-providence ne considèrent pas encore de manière adéquate le secteur public et comment les gouvernements ont restructuré les services 1 Dr. John Peters is an assistant professor of political science at Laurentian University, Sudbury Ontario Canada. He is one of the general editors of the 'Labour in Canada' series and the forthcoming collection Boom, Bust, and Crisis: Work and Labour in 21st Century Canada (Fall 2011, Fernwood Publishing 109Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 8 (2) Autumn 2012 publics. A partir de données macro de l'OCDE, d'études qualitatives et de recherches faites par des syndicats, cet article explique que les gouvernements ont revu de façon substantielle leurs procédures administratives et financières afin de couper leurs dépenses et de réduire les coûts du travail. Il est aussi avancé qu'à cause de la globalisation financière et de l'augmentation de la dette, les États ont engagé une série de réformes dans les relations de travail du secteur public. Ceci a aggravé les salaires, les conditions de travail et les emplois à travers le secteur public. L'article conclue que de tels développements sont centraux à la réforme de la nature du fonctionnement de l'État en Amérique du Nord et en Europe de l'Ouest. C'est la première étude qui analyse les réformes gouvernementales dans les politiques fiscales, les services publics et les employés du secteur public dans 13 pays de l'OCDE entre 1980 et 2005.
