OECD Ülkelerinde Ekonomik Küreselleşme ve Toplu Pazarlık İlişkisine Bakış

Abstract

1980’lerden itibaren neoliberal paradigmalar her alanda etkisini göstermiştir. Söz konusu 40 yıllık süreçte ekonomi politikalarının yönlendirilmesinde küreselleşme çok önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Ekonomi-politik yapıda yaşanan dönüşümler kapsamında dışa açılma politikaları, ülkelere çeşitli açılardan fırsatlar sunsa da düşük vasıflı işgücünün çalışma koşullarının aşınmasına yol açan mekanizmaları da harekete geçirmektedir. Bu noktada, ekonomik küreselleşmenin işçi hakları üzerinde yarattığı etkinin boyutu ve yönü önem kazanmaktadır. Bu açıdan ele alındığında ticari ve finansal açıklıkla karakterize edilen ekonomik küreselleşme, toplu pazarlık kapsamındaki çalışanların oranını yakından etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada, 2000-2016 dönemine ait veriler kullanılarak 10 OECD ülkesinde Kanada, Çekya, Almanya, Macaristan, Hollanda, Portekiz, İspanya, Birleşik Krallık, ABD ve Danimarka ekonomik küreselleşmenin toplu pazarlık kapsamındaki çalışanların oranına etkisi panel ARDL yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre ekonomik küreselleşme, toplu pazarlık kapsamındaki çalışanların oranını negatif etkilemektedir. Modele dâhil edilen kontrol değişkenlerinin etkisine bakıldığında; nüfus ve kamu borcu toplu pazarlık kapsamında çalışanların oranını negatif etkilerken, ekonomik büyüme ve gelir eşitsizliği pozitif etkilemektedir

An Overview the Relationship between Economic Globalization and Collective Bargaining in OECD Countries

Abstract

Since the 1980s, neoliberal paradigms have shown their impacts in all fields. Globalization has an important place in guiding economic policies in a given 40-year period. Within the scope of the transformations in the economy-political structure, although the opening-up policies provide opportunities for countries in various aspects, they also prompt the mechanisms that cause the working conditions of the low skilled labor force to erode. At this point, the size and direction of the impact of economic globalization on workers’ rights become a matter. From this point of view, economic globalization, which is characterized by trade and financial openness, closely affects the collective bargaining coverage rate. In this study, the impact of economic globalization on the collective bargaining coverage rate in 10 OECD countries Canada, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, USA, and Denmark is examined with the panel ARDL method, using the data for the period 2000-2016. According to the findings, economic globalization negatively affects the collective bargaining coverage rate. When examining the impact of control variables included in the model, while population and public debt negatively affect the collective bargaining coverage rate, economic growth, and income inequality positively affect
