| Abstract: | The attitude of employers' organizations (EOs) towards concertation results from the interaction of two main variables: the industrial structure and the institutional framework. The balance of power within the organizations btw. large and smaller firms, and the set of rules etc. enforced in each country strongly influence the policy choices. By the end of 1980s and start of 1990s different options were adopted in Sweden, Denmark and Austria. This article aims to explain the conduct of employers' organizations in these three countries, and suggests that incentives to concertation can derive from a careful management of constraints and choices related to the two variables. |
