- Improving the quality of low-wage work: the current American experience Paul Osterman Despite the recent strength of the United States job market, about one fifth of the private-sector workforce is in poor-quality employment, earning poverty-level wages or less, with scant prospects for improvement. Against this background, the article focuses on demand-side policies, aimed at influencing firms’ decision-making in the direction of better quality employment. Describing and evaluating a variety of programmes pursued to that end, the author argues for more policy coherence and a balanced approach combining training and economic development programmes working directly with employers, on the one hand, and increased unionization and better wage and working-time standards, on the other. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2008.00028.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2008.00028.x publication.journalArticle
