Decentralised Pay Setting

This title was first published in 2003. In the early 1990s, Australia Sweden and the UK dismantled the old centralised pay setting systems that set the pay of civil servants and adopted decentralised systems and pay systems. Consequentially, these systems are now being considered by many other European countries as they look to reform their own systems. Elliott and Bender analyse the outcomes of these pioneering reforms in all three countries and in doing so provide the most detailed analysis of the pay of civil servants in these three countries to date.
