摘要

长期以来，关于群体差异作用的讨论一直是关于工会成员资格的学术研究的一部分，一个核心假设是，工会化的普遍下降是由年轻一代向更个人主义的价值观转变引起的。然而，大多数研究的时间跨度很短，因此不确定它们是否能够将队列效应与年龄效应区分开来。利用1956年的调查数据，我们检验了个体化假说。我们的主要结果是，后来的瑞典群体确实不太倾向于加入工会。特别是，1970年前后出生的人群之间的差异是惊人的。我们还提供了证据，证明瑞典工会成员的减少与后来群体中更具个人主义价值观的变化无关，甚至与工会本身的负面看法无关。

Cohort Differences in Swedish Union Membership 1956–2019 and the Role of Individualization

Discussions of the role of cohort differences have long been part of academic research on union membership, with a central hypothesis being that the general decline in unionization is caused by changes toward more individualistic values in the younger generations. However, the short time span of most studies makes it uncertain if they can separate cohort effects from age effects. Using survey data going back to 1956, we test the individualization hypothesis. Our main result is that later Swedish cohorts are indeed less prone to join unions. In particular, the differences between cohorts born before and after ca 1970 are striking. We also provide evidence that the erosion in union membership in Sweden is not related to changes toward more individualistic values in later cohorts, or even to more negative views of unions per se.

期刊介绍： The Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies is an international, scientific journal on working life, written in English. The journal is edited by an Editorial Board of 8-15 Editors from Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The journal aims to strengthen the exchange of experiences, perspectives, methods and outcomes of the Nordic working life research across the Nordic countries, and promote Nordic working life research internationally. The mission of the journal is to present studies concerning changes in work and how these changes affect qualifications, health, occupation, innovation, economy, identity, social orientation and culture. The journal aims at an interdisciplinary profile. Most of the articles in the journal have authors from the Nordic countries, but researchers from outside the Nordic region are also invited to contribute to the journal, to the extent that such contributions improve the understanding of Nordic conditions.
