Union membership variation in Europe: A ten-country comparative analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This article investigates covariates of union density in ten West European countries. It adds to previous research by showing that collective bargaining coverage plays a substantial role. Hence future analyses of union density should emphasize the collective bargaining coverage variable, since trade unions may influence both the extent of coverage and the content of agreements. Of course, the question of the direction of the causality remains
