Employers and labour market policy

Sabrina Colombo, David Natali and Emmanuele Pavolini

Chapter 14 in Handbook of Labour Market Policy in Advanced Democracies, 2023, pp 193-205 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter provides insights into two core dimensions that characterize how employers approach labour market policies, namely their preferences and power. It first reviews how preferences in the realm of labour market policy are formed and aggregated by business and then discusses how business may exert power to translate preferences into policies. For both the preferences and power dimensions, the chapter presents the main approaches developed in the comparative political economy and comparative social policy literature and draws on selected examples of labour market policy to illustrate these approaches.
