Economic growth in Asia over the past half century has led to significant changes in societies, business organization and the nature of work. This has been accompanied by the rise in some countries of trade unions and also of employersâ associations. This book explores the nature of employersâ associations in the major countries of Asia. It considers how employersâ associations have developed in recent decades, how changes in market structures and the profile of economies have affected employersâ associations, how employersâ associations deal with issues to do with pay and employment conditions, and how they interact with regulation and the state. The book shows how the differing political and institutional contexts of different countries, and different economic conditions, greatly affect the nature of employersâ associations and also the wider context of labour markets and trade unions.
