摘要:Transforming economies models are so various that the justification of them will be too huge to cover in this essay. But still there are lessons to learn from all of them. In short, there is no best employment relation model. Every one has its advantages and disadvantages.
he English-speaking countries such as the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It is an extremely different model from the European Social Model which gives financial support and provide welfare to the unemployed and disadvantage citizens in severely regulated market. By contrast, Anglo-Saxon Model has two term best describing its characteristic: "Hands-Off" and "Survival-Of-The-Fittest". The credit crunch in the financial crisis is the side-effect of this system (Mueller 2006: p. 310). And most often than not the French and the Germany are the ones who blame this model as their employment relations have nothing to do with this model which makes them so proud (Baliga, Polak 2001: p. 130). But it is admitted that this model gives space and freedom to the relationship between employees and employers. Regulations are hardly seen so employment regulation is various amongst companies in the market. But under such circumstances, the majority of job positions are offered by public sectors in United Kingdom rather than the supposed-to-be-blooming private sectors. And recently UK runs a model called "Anglo-Social"system have by contrast brought more job opportunities and better working condition than other European countries. The British government has improved the workers' rights and enhanced salaries of the disadvantaged in an incentive way. Furthermore, an obituary of the Anglo-Saxon Model has been claimed in May (Denny 2009). It seems that this capitalist-characterised model has lost its popularity as time goes by. Labour force in these countries is asking for more welfare instead of being treated as machine. Improvement is made in this model such as the "Anglo-Social" instance of Britain. But the future of this model is not bright as its effect on capitalism has failed (Denny 2009). This model therefore is less promising to the Anglo-Saxon countries but time will tell.
Japanese Model
Japanese model has once brought prosperity to its economy during its superlative period-from 1950s to 1960s. The way it deals with employment relation has also learnt worldwide. However, since 1990s the country's economy has grown at a slow rate, 1.6% per year and no growth at all in some of them. Severe recession is also seen in the last decade of 20th century in Japan (Leggett, Bamber 2001: p. 302). Since then Japanese model has lost part of its popularity in other countries around the world. It is worth of study on why can its effect not last longer? Three characteristics of Japanese model should be analysed. Firstly, Lifetime Employment System (LES) and Seniority-Based System (SBS) is carried consistently in big companies. Secondly one conglomerate is served with one main banking system. Thirdly an Iron Triangle is balanced with government, politicians and businessmen (McCormick 2007: p. 753). The first characteristic closely relates to employment relations so this characteristic is the most important one in this
essay. The Lifetime Employment System refers to a system that offers Japanese employees lifelong contract in companies. In other words, once they are hired, they will never get fired. This system cultivate loyalty of employees toward the company and provides sense of security to the employees (Keizer 2009). Meanwhile, the Seniority-Based System refers to the salary system that salary increased with promotion promised as an employee are getting
