Sommario/riassunto |
|
Labour market institutions, including collective bargaining, the regulation of employment contracts and social protection policies, are |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
instrumental for improving the well-being of workers, their families and society. In many countries, these institutions have been eroded, whilst in other countries they do not exist at all. |
