More About This Textbook
Overview
This is a classic exploration of how labor markets are influenced by economic forces and the legal and institutional framework as well as an analysis of their interaction. Combining the strengths of early and later traditions of labor economics, this book makes use of both practical and theoretical recent literature as it illustrates how collective bargaining works and how it changes as the economic and legal environments also change. The eleventh edition of Labor Economics and Labor Relations has been revised to include new chapters on policies to combat labor-market discrimination, the Japanese and German systems of industrial relations, and internal labor markets, as well as a new half chapter on the increasing inequality in earnings. It also presents important new information on welfare reform, minimum wage legislation, unemployment insurance, education reform, and immigration. An essential reference book for any professional or tradesman seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between labor and management.
Editorial Reviews
Booknews
A text for students taking labor economics courses in economics departments, also useful for courses on industrial relations taught in business and management schools. Pedagogical aids include chapter summaries, key concepts, and review questions. This 11th edition is completely revised, with greater emphasis on gender inequality and antidiscrimination policies, international comparisons, and the effects of shifts from mass production to more flexible production methods. Nine chapters on labor economics have been extensively revised and updated. This edition also includes new material on internal labor markets, human resources management, and compensation policies of firms. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Product Details
