Løn mellem produktion og velfærd. Reguleringsordningens betydning for løndannelsen i den offentlige sektor. (Danish)

In this article, we investigate how the labour market parties in the public sector have managed to create an institutional framework for wage regulation in the private and public sectors in Denmark. The challenge has been to ensure optimal growth for Danish exports, while at the same time ensuring a wage formation in the public sector matching wage formation in the private sector, thus enabling continually recruitment and retainment in the public sector. Since 1983, the establishment by the labour market parties of a regulatory scheme ("Reguleringsordningen") balancing wage formation in the two sectors. Based on an empirical investigation of the regulatory scheme since 2000, we conclude that this mechanism has significantly influenced wage formation to ensure macroeconomic stability, but that the wage hierarchy in the Danish public sector has become frozen and this has implied a number of unresolved difficulties. Finally, we hint at solutions to this. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

I denne artikel undersøges det, hvorledes arbejdsmarkedets parter har arbejdet og lykkedes med at skabe institutionelle og aftalemæssige rammer for en balanceret lønudvikling mellem de to sektorer på det danske arbejdsmarked. Udfordringen er at skabe mulighed for en optimal udvikling af dansk eksportvækst og samtidigt sikre en lønudvikling for offentligt ansatte, der matcher de privatansattes og giver mulighed for at rekruttere og fastholde kvalificeret arbejdskraft i den offentlige sektor. Svaret er historisk blevet en aftale mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter, benævnt Reguleringsordningen (RO) fra 1983, som siden er blevet brugt til at balancere løndannelsen mellem den private og offentlige sektor. På baggrund af empiriske analyser af Reguleringsordningens faktisk funktion siden 2000 konkluderes det, at ordningen har været stærkt medvirkende til at sikre parallelitet i den private og den offentlige løndannelse, men at ordningens fastlåsning af lønhierarkiet i den offentlige sektor har skabt en række uløste vanskeligheder. Løsninger herpå antydes afslutningsvis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
