Abstract

The link between pensions and work is established at human rights level through social security contributions. The extent to which this link is strengthen is set in the national designs of social security systems that on their turn reflect the values to which each society adheres as well as the institutional contexts in which the systems are embedded. The project compares Norwegian and Spanish collective bargaining models from this institutional perspective and critically analyses their respective ability to secure appropriate working conditions that can ensure the financing of the systems and the return of adequate pension benefits at old age. The study is complemented with the transversal analysis of the EU’s law and policies impact in each institutional framework and ultimately on the collective bargaining model.
La relació entre pensions i treball, establerta a nivell de drets humans per mitjà de les contribucions a la seguretat social es materialitza en el disseny dels respectius sistemes a nivell nacional. Aquests reflecteixen d’una banda els valors amb els quals la societat s’identifica i de l’altra, el context institucional en el que es troben inserits. El projecte compara els models de negociació col·lectiva des d’aquesta perspectiva institucional i n’analitza de manera crítica la capacitat respectiva per respondre amb unes condicions de treball aptes per garantir el finançament del sistema i el nivell adequat de beneficis de les pensions. L’estudi es completa amb l’anàlisi transversal dels efectes que les polítiques i el marc legal de la EU, tenen sobre els diferents contexts institucionals i per tant sobre la negociació col·lectiva.
