An Eiro report explores the impact of the crisis on wage-setting mechanisms (based on separate reports for the 28 EU Member States plus Norway) and examines the impact of the EU’s new economic governance regime – specifically the requirements of the country-specific recommendations and Memoranda of Understanding.
An Eiro report explores the impact of the crisis on wage-setting mechanisms (based on separate reports for the 28 EU Member States plus Norway) and examines the impact of the EU’s new economic governance regime – specifically the requirements of the country-specific recommendations and Memoranda of Understanding. It looks at changes in wage bargaining levels, the extent of horizontal coordination across bargaining units, links between the different levels involved in wage setting, minimum wage-setting and indexation mechanisms, and the volume and duration of collective wage agreements. According to the report the extent and consequences of change in wage-setting have been greatest among the countries receiving financial assistance packages from the troika of European and international institutions.
