Abstract

This paper compares the distribution of union membership in Korea and Britain. The data used for this analysis were sourced from, the 2005 KLIPS (Korean Labor and Income Panel Survey), and the 2004 British WERS (Workplace Employment Relations Survey), and other British data. We attempt to highlight and analyze distinct features in distribution of union membership among Korean employees based on their occupation, employment status, sector, industries, and demographic characteristics. The Korean scenario is similar with the British counterpart where higher union membership densities were observed among full-time and highly educated employees, employees working in moderately regulated semi-public service industries, in large-sized firms, and among professional occupations. The Korean example is in line with the general growth stage of pluralistic industrialism and the convergence thesis, which predicts the inevitable presence of conflicting interests leading to union formation. This in particular, is evident among those advantageous groups of workers in terms of their union organizational capacities. However, similarities in union membership distribution were not enjoyed across the board. In Korea, union membership is much lower among part-time, female, and lowly educated employees. This is also the case among employees working in highly regulated public service industries and small to medium-sized firms. Those poor organizational capacities among disadvantaged groups of workers is, unfortunately, crucial to the success of nation-specific growth path, which is reinforced by specific Korean national occupational culture and employment practice, distinct history of union growth, and industrial structure. Cases in Korea and other less advanced nations provide further fresh insight in to the recently rekindled debate on convergence, which was in the past mainly confined to experiences among advanced nations.
