Abstract

In this article, the authors examine the role of labor immigration as a source of institutional change. They use a “most different systems” comparative case study analysis of the Danish and Australian construction sectors to examine the impact of increased labor migration on skill-sourcing practices in countries with distinct national skill formation and industrial relations institutions. Drawing on 73 interviews with industry stakeholders, the authors find that labor migration has produced liberalizing pressures in both Denmark and Australia, albeit in ways that differ from each other. The article contributes to comparative institutional scholarship by illustrating how labor migration can promote or support institutional change in a liberalizing direction by disincentivizing coordinated skill formation. Findings suggest that while national institutions mediate external pressures, such as labor migration, such pressures may affect the incentive structures that can either maintain or erode national institutions.
劳动力迁移作为制度变迁的来源:丹麦和澳大利亚建筑业比较
在这篇文章中,作者考察了劳工移民作为制度变革来源的作用。他们对丹麦和澳大利亚的建筑部门进行了“最不同的系统”比较案例研究分析,以研究在具有独特的国家技能形成和劳资关系制度的国家中,劳动力移徙增加对技能采购做法的影响。通过对行业利益相关者的73次采访,作者发现,劳动力迁移在丹麦和澳大利亚都产生了自由化的压力,尽管方式各不相同。这篇文章通过说明劳动力迁移如何通过抑制协调技能形成来促进或支持自由化方向的制度变革,为比较制度研究做出了贡献。研究结果表明,虽然国家制度调解了外部压力,如劳动力迁移,但这种压力可能会影响激励结构,从而维持或侵蚀国家制度。
