Wither Dutch Corporatism? Two Decades of Employment Policies and Welfare Reforms

Abstract

The`Dutch model' has widely attracted international attention for its presumed ability to reduce unemployment, introduce market incentives in the former public domain and maintain essential provisions of the welfare state. This paper documents and evaluates policy changes, labour market performance and welfare reform, with emphasis on the institutional framework, its continuity and the reforms.

Accurate determination of screw position in treating fifth metatarsal base fractures to shorten radiation exposure time

“…(6) Generally, the articular surfaces of the proximal fourth and fifth metatarsal bases have been used to distinguish between extra-articular (Type I) and intra-articular (Type II) fifth metatarsal fractures. (14) In the present study, the metatarsal axis was determined according to the method described by Shima et al, in which the line connecting the midpoint of the proximal articular surface and centre of the distal articular surface provided the most accurate metatarsal axis. (13) A second line perpendicular to the fifth metatarsal axis was determined on the oblique view.…”

Hourly wages and working time in the Dutch market sector 1962–1995

“…4 These results suggest that the Dutch labour market, see e.g. Broersma et al (2000) or Hartog (1999). An account of the development of Dutch working time is given in De Neubourg (1991) and Van Doorne-Huiskes and De Lange (1994).…”

Dynamic institutional analysis: measuring corporatist intermediation

However, these concepts remain to a large extent static or they lack institutional context.…”
