Abstract: | The rise of the percentage of employees who have never become union members ("never-members") is tracked since the early 1980s and it is shown that it is the reduced likelihood of ever becoming a member, rather than the haemorrhaging of existing members, that is behind the decline in overall union membership in the UK. The determinants of "never-membership" are estimated and it is considered how much of the rise can be explained by structural change in the labour market and how much by change in preferences among employees. |
