Abstract: Recent studies of the sectoral social dialogue have concluded that the types of documents adopted by the sectoral social partners are undergoing a qualitative change. It appears that significant developments are underway which need to be better understood and analysed. Any such exercise poses two challenges: one quantitative, since there are no standardised data concerning texts signed, and the other qualitative, relating to the precise nature of the texts adopted. How should they be described? How should they be classified? This article presents the results of a quantitative analysis, based on a database created at the Observatoire social européen covering all 353 agreements adopted since 1978. From this analysis we can already detect certain overall trends affecting the sectoral social dialogue.
