Abstract.International research findings highlight the important role of institutions in shaping the wage structure of an economy. Evidence from a sample of seven public hospitals in the United Kingdom confirms those findings, suggesting that a more coordinated and centralized system of wage‐setting (including extension of public‐sector conditions to outsourced workers) improves pay for low‐wage cleaners and assistant nurses. Renewal of wage‐setting institutions provides a necessary but insufficient foundation for the elimination of low‐wage work. Employee investment in skill development, career advancement and skill‐based pay require management's commitment to the design of new, higher‐skilled jobs and the strengthening of internal labour markets.

Resumen.Las investigaciones internacionales han puesto de manifiesto la importancia de las instituciones en la estructura salarial de una economía. Un estudio acerca de siete hospitales públicos del Reino Unido corrobora que un sistema de fijación de salarios centralizado beneficia a las auxiliares de enfermería y a las limpiadoras, sobre todo si las condiciones pactadas en el sector público se extienden a los trabajadores empleados por subcontratistas. La renovación salarial sienta las bases para que desaparezca el trabajo con salario bajo. Y, a fin de que los trabajadores tomen la senda del perfeccionamiento profesional, los establecimientos deben concebir unos puestos nuevos y más cualificados y facilitar las carreras individuales en su seno.

Résumé.Des études internationales soulignent l'importance des institutions dans la structure salariale d'une économie. Ce constat est confirmé ici par l'observation de sept hôpitaux publics au Royaume‐Uni, qui suggère qu'un système de fixation des salaires coordonné et centralisé (comprenant l'extension des conditions du secteur public aux travailleurs externes) améliore les bas salaires des agents d'entretien et des aides‐soignants. La restauration de ces institutions est nécessaire mais insuffisante pour éliminer le travail mal rémunéré. Créer des emplois nouveaux plus qualifiés et renforcer les marchés du travail internes sont des réformes indispensables pour inciter le personnel à se former et lui permettre d'évoluer professionnellement.

The COVID-19 outbreak and resultant economic crisis has led to governments in Europe taking extraordinary action to support citizens. Bodies such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO) recommend such measures should include targeted support for the most affected population groups. Women form one of these groups, with disproportionate impacts on their employment and economic resources already documented. Although the disruption brought about by the COVID-19 crisis has the potential to reshape gender relations for everyone's benefit, there are concerns that the crisis will exacerbate underlying gender inequalities. Though these impacts are likely to be felt globally, public policy has the potential to mitigate them and to ensure a gender-sensitive recovery from the crisis. This paper introduces a gendered lens on the employment and social policies European countries have established since the crisis, with a brief comparative analysis of short-time working schemes in four countries – Germany, Italy, Norway, and the UK. Ongoing research seeks to extend the comparative, gendered analysis of the design, access and impacts of COVID-19 employment and social policies across Europe.

ResumenEn la presente introducción se destacan los principales aspectos extraídos de los artículos de este número especial que cabría considerar en las investigaciones sobre el futuro del trabajo. Se presentan los cambios acelerados que afectan al mundo del trabajo como una oportunidad de orientarse hacia un crecimiento proclive a la igualdad, pero también se advierte de los peligros que plantea una mala gestión del cambio tecnológico, de las desigualdades –haciendo hincapié en el carácter persistente y transversal de la desigualdad de género–, de las cadenas mundiales de suministro y de las oportunidades de diálogo social. En vista de ello, se proponen también recomendaciones de política en las que se presta especial atención al fortalecimiento de la protección de los trabajadores y de las instituciones representativas, el replanteamiento de los marcos normativos y de los sistemas fiscales, y el logro de transiciones justas.

RésuméPartant de la matière de ce numéro spécial, les auteurs mettent en évidence les grands thèmes de recherche sur l'avenir du travail. Ils décrivent les mutations accélérées du monde du travail qui offrent des possibilités de croissance génératrice d'égalité, mais avec le risque de mal gérer le changement technique, les inégalités (en insistant sur le caractère intersectionnel et persistant des inégalités entre hommes et femmes), les chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales et les nouvelles possibilités de dialogue social. Partant, ils formulent des recommandations pour renforcer la protection des travailleurs et les institutions qui les représentent, revoir les cadres réglementaires et les systèmes fiscaux, et enfin assurer des transitions équitables.

AbstractIn introducing this double Special Issue, the authors draw on the articles contained therein to highlight the main areas for consideration in research on the future of work. They present the fast‐paced changes affecting the world of work as offering an opportunity to move towards equality‐inducing growth, while warning of the dangers posed by mismanaged technological change, inequalities (highlighting the persistent and intersectional nature of gender inequality), global supply chains and opportunities for social dialogue. In this light, they also propose policy recommendations focusing on strengthening worker protection and representative institutions, rethinking regulatory frameworks and taxation systems, and ensuring just transitions.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 calls upon the international community to "[p]romote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all". This chapter assesses the progress made towards each of the targets of SDG 8, by presenting recent trends in the corresponding indicators. Attaining SDG 8 will require far increased efforts, given how far current trends are from the targets envisaged under this goal.
