  A minimum European wage?

  La question du salaire minimum se situe au carrefour de préoccupations diverses : compétitivité, dumping social, précarité, inclusion sociale. Les institutions internationales et européennes ont récemment modifié leur appréhension du salaire minimum. La définition d’un salaire minimum est au cœur du socle européen des droits sociaux. Ainsi, même si la fixation d’un salaire minimum ne relève pas de la compétence de l’Union européenne, l’horizon d’un salaire minimum européen est maintenant à l’agenda européen. À cette actualité supranationale, s’ajoutent des actualités nationales. Certains États membres – en particulier l’Allemagne – se sont récemment dotés de dispositifs juridiques tendant à intégrer dans leur législation nationale un salaire minimum. Le salaire minimum apparaît ainsi comme l’une des voies de lutte contre le dumping social. Les recommandations adoptées dans le cadre du semestre européen, qui visent d’ores et déjà à influencer la politique salariale de certains États membres, rendent d’autant plus urgent le débat sur le salaire minimum.

  Competition and solidarity networks in contemporary South Asia's Labour Market 

  Hegemonic neo-liberal discourse assumes that free competition on all levels sparks a virtuous cycle of economic growth, which eventually trickles down to poor populations. Over the past three decades, the idea that restrictive labour laws hamper such competition has justified the deregulation of labour in the North and the un-regulation of labour in the South, notably in South Asia, where labour relations had already mainly been informal. Various sociologists have noted that intensified economic interactions and the rise of competition have made individuals more likely to activate their social networks to protect their individual interests. In this respect, to what extent do social networks shape relations in the diverse South Asian labour markets? How do new forms of social groupings reconfigure competition and solidarity relations? What forms of social interactions prevail, emerge and weaken in the market: chosen solidarity and inherited solidarity; inter-caste and intra-caste solidarity; class solidarity; corporate solidarity etc.?
