Abstract

Collective bargaining in Chile is both underdeveloped and weak, resulting in very limited coverage. However, up to now, there is no exist an official percentage. The Labor Office, which is the state institution that collects the information about collective bargaining in Chile has systematically reported the percentage of salaried involved in collective instruments that start their validity every year, but not the percentage that considers workers involved in all the valid collective instruments (not only the starters). This is surprising and constitutes a research gap that has an impact on the public debate. In this backdrop, a recent OECD report has shown the Chilean collective bargaining coverage developments between 1990 and 2015. While the Labor Office reported in 2015 a coverage (considering only the starters) of 7.2%, the OECD has published 18.9%. Which is the real number? apparently, something has changed or works better in Chile based on such report. In this paper, we show that those figures are far to be accurate. Through a multi-step process, we correct the official numbers and estimate a collective bargaining coverage which oscillates between 11.1% and 6.9% in 2015.
智利集体谈判的覆盖面:增加还是错觉?
智利的集体谈判既不发达又薄弱,导致覆盖面非常有限。然而,到目前为止,还没有一个官方的百分比。劳工局是收集智利集体谈判信息的国家机构,它系统地报告了每年开始生效的集体文书中受薪工人的百分比,但没有报告所有有效集体文书(不仅是启动者)中受薪工人的百分比。这令人惊讶,并构成了对公众辩论产生影响的研究差距。在此背景下,经合组织最近的一份报告显示了1990年至2015年智利集体谈判覆盖面的发展情况。2015年,美国劳工局(Labor Office)报告的失业率(仅考虑初入职场者)为7.2%,而经合组织(OECD)公布的失业率为18.9%。哪个是实数?显然,根据这样的报告,智利的一些事情发生了变化,或者变得更好了。在本文中,我们证明了这些数字远不准确。通过一个多步骤的过程,我们修正了官方数字,并估计2015年集体谈判的覆盖率在11.1%到6.9%之间波动。
