 Preface

The end to the Cold War and a unipolar world coincided with the retrench-
ment of the State and a move towards a more market-based economy.
Since then, what developments occurred in the world of labour?
Globalization and technology provoked a major change in the economic
production, while schooling has been expanded and democratized
throughout the globe, with developing countries at different stages now
educating most of their youths. But what about labour conditions and the
inequality of earnings? How resilient has been labour to adapt to these
changes? How did labour institutions and policies evolve?
Over the last 30 years, the power of labour showed, at best, contradic-
tory signs or even became considerably frailer. Following the earlier elec-
tions of Thatcher and Reagan and contributing to the declining formal
labour protection, developed countries experienced falling union rates and
social concertation practices. Segmented labour markets led often to polar-
ization of labour earnings and conditions. Progresses in living standards
and in different spheres in human development, noticeably in Asia and
particularly China, made starker the inequality in the global south. Since
the 1990s, there has also been a deceleration in the liberalization of migra-
tion policies that predominated since WWII, while international migration
has remained remarkably stable contributing to the higher complexity and
diversity of labour markets. What would be coined as the “Washington
Consensus” neglected labour conditions in developing countries.
Labour institutions were thus challenged throughout the period.
Informal labour, female, and youth and child labour received increasing
attention and resources. However, recurrent crises, high unemployment,

v
vi PREFACE

youth unemployment and underemployment, low wages and, in general,

falling wage shares have been motives for discontentment and even
upheaval of many. Intersectionality often comes to make more severe the
situation of some. A more globalized and interconnected world also made
inequalities more visible, discomforting and conflictive. In sum, the age
post-1991 was marked by global labour in distress.
This two-volume book aims to frame these issues by composing a 30
years perspective, which allows for an uncommon depth of analysis. By
doing so, Global Labour in Distress collects selected high-influential journal
articles on labour issues around the globe since 1991 and compiles them
with brief unpublished masterpieces defined by highly recognized experts,
providing a complementary view from today’s perspective. Building on the
editors’ expertise on economics, demography and development studies,
the journal articles were selected from a pool of highly reputed Springer
journals among the academic community. Their varied disciplinary
approaches provide a multidisciplinary perspective to labour issues.
The selection was based on a pool of 15,047 journal articles of 1474
issues of 11 scientific journals, as identified in Table 1. For the selection of
the articles, the editorial team searched for topics related to: Labour mar-
kets and globalization; Jobs and technological change; Labour agency and
resilience; Labour earnings and inequality; (In)decent work; Continuity
and change of labour institutions; Gender, in a crosscutting manner. In a
first stage, the editors chose circa 60 papers, to, in a second stage, reduce
it to the final list. In the selection of the papers, we privileged the quality of
the papers, the variety of topics and the diversity of affiliations/institutions.
The final volumes gather “[a]n amazing line up of great authors”, in
the words of one contributor. Fifty-six chapters, from 91 authors affiliated
to institutions from 22 countries, covering different regions of the world.
After the start of the project, one of the authors was actually awarded the
Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, we leave it to the reader to identify
who. The geographical variety of each section is fundamental given the
importance of studying the context. The two volumes feature comple-
mentary topics on labour issues, but sometimes with opposing views.
Each volume is structured in three main sections and analyses well-­
defined but also complementary topics on labour issues. All sections include
an introduction by the editors followed by a compilation of selected articles
selection and masterpieces. In the first volume, Globalisation, Technology
and Labour Resilience, the first section is about developments that occurred
in the world of labour related to the integration of labour markets and
globalization, bridging international migration drivers and policy and the

level of internationalization of production. The second section analyses

technological change and innovation, discussing structural transformation
and frugal innovation, employment and jobs adaptation, multinationals
and survival entrepreneurship. Finally, the third section discusses the
change in labour agency and resilience concerning major changes in inter-
national and national institutional landscapes, discussing informalization of
labour and underemployment, the politics of workplace well-being, and
the effects of crises and their recovery.
The second volume Earnings, (In)decent Work and Institutions follows
a similar structure. It is also structured into three main sections. The first
one addresses earnings and inequality, bridging trade globalization and
COVID-19 pandemic effects, the geography of poverty, horizontal
inequality and inequality of opportunity, unions’ impact on wages and the
gender gap. The second one focuses on the analysis of recent trends in
decent work, discussing labour standards, unemployment and minimum
wages, and gender issues and work-family balance. Last, the third section
discusses the role of labour market policies and its interactions with insti-
tutions, and it combines pieces on growth and labour standards, social
protection policies and policy tools.

 Acknowledgements

As always, this endeavour has only been possible by the contribution

of many.
First and foremost, we need to thank the 88 contributors that have
produced so many enriching views on labour and who so selfless agreed to
join this effort. A special word goes to the very few that agreed but for
unforeseen reasons were not able to join in the end.
The community around the selected journals, the editors and reviewers
are also to be praised as our selection benefited from their constant and
careful mostly unpaid work. Science, although imperfect and incomplete,
has allowed us a long way in understanding social phenomena.
We would like to thank Spencer Henson, Natalia Lorenzoni and Wendy
Olsen for helpful comments on an earlier phase and to Catarina Grilo.
Wyndham Hacket Pain and Steve Fashions at Palgrave/Springer have
been extremely diligent and competent editors in supporting the volumes.
We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support received from: the
Portuguese Ministry of Science and Technology and the Foundation for
Science and Technology through the projects UIDB/00713/2020 (to
Pedro Goulart) and 2020.05445.BD (to Gianluca Ferrittu); and the
Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the State Research Agency
(MCIN/AEI—10.13039/501100011033) through the project
PID2020-118800GB-I00 (to Raul Ramos).
On a personal note, we also need to thank our families who have abdi-
cated part of our precious time together. At this moment, we are thinking
particularly on:
