Trends and Determinants of Work-Retirement Transitions under Changing Institutional Conditions
Many governments world-wide are promoting longer working life due to the social and economic repercussions of demographic change. However, not all workers are equally able to extend their employment careers. Thus, while national policies raise the overall level of labour market participation, they might create new social and labour market inequalities. This paper explores how institutional differences in the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan affe…
Government as Institutional Entrepreneur
Government as Institutional Entrepreneur
Through the lens of Institutional Entrepreneurship, this paper discusses how governments use the levers of power afforded through business and welfare systems to affect change in the organisational management of older workers. It does so using national stakeholder interviews in two contrasting economies: the United Kingdom and Japan. Both governments have taken a 'light-touch' approach to work and retirement. However, the highly institutionalised…
Trade union responses to ageing workforces in the UK and Germany
Ageing workforces are placing conflicting pressures on European trade unions in order to, on the one hand, protect pensions and early retirement routes, and, on the other, promote human resource management (HRM) policies geared towards enabling their older members to extend working life. Using interviews from German and United Kingdom (UK) trade unions, we discuss how unions are both constrained and enabled by pre-existing institutional structure…
Origins and Limitations of State-based Advocacy
Brazil has occupied a central role in the access to medicines movement, especially with respect to drugs used to treat those with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Contrary to previous literature centered on the role of the domestic pharmaceutical industry, politicians seeking electoral gains, and civil society activists, I argue that the state, especially the National AIDS Program,…
The United Kingdom government's ‘business case’ approach to the regulation of retirement
In the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 , the United Kingdom government set a ‘default’ retirement age of 65 years after which an employer can compulsorily retire workers, and made it obligatory for employers to consider the ‘business case’ for any employees' requests to continue in work after the default age. This is a ‘light touch’ approach to reducing age discrimination at the workplace and to changing the established ‘culture of ret…
Public Production of Anti-Retroviral Medicines in Brazil, 1990-2007
This article examines Brazil's experience with the public production of anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) and highlights the important role of the state in guaranteeing access to life-saving medicines and fulfilling human rights commitments. The key to understanding the government's successful intervention in the pharmaceutical market and provision of treatment rests on the synergistic, albeit political, relationship between reform-minded public serva…
Between Subimperialism and Globalization
A synthesis of the thesis of subimperialism developed by the Brazilian economist Ruy Mauro Marini with more dynamic theories of global capitalism sheds light on the international relations of South America's largest country. Shifts in Brazil's foreign economic relations may be seen as structured more by the changes wrought by globalization than by institutional changes or conjunctural policies enacted by the Partidos dos Trabalhadores (Workers' p…
