Deep Recession

During the Greek crisis, the high and rising youth unemployment rates have created severe concerns about the impact of the deep recession on human capital and social cohesion. However, even in previous times of significant economic growth, both youth unemployment ratio and other related employment indicators had been systematically worse compared to those of the general population, and even more so compared to other European countries. This article demonstrates how institutional and social factors influence youth employment performance, arguing that the youth unemployment problem in Greece has actually structural and persistent root causes. The article concludes with policy proposals towards changes both in labour market institutions and social attitudes.

The Impact

Reducing wage inequality requires an understanding of the importance of labour market institutions, in particular statutory minimum wages and sectoral collective bargaining. This article argues that the impact of labour market institutions on wage inequality is enhanced by specific strategies of unions and employers. Empirical evidence is provided from the high-wage automotive sector and the low-wage retail sector in Czechia and Slovakia. Against the backdrop of the erosion of collective wage bargaining, trade unions have prioritised increases in the national statutory minimum wage as a mechanism for reducing wage inequalities. Trade unions’ leverage on minimum wages can compensate for their declining influence on wage distribution via collective bargaining.
