本研究目的在於分析失業的體制與類型分類,探討OECD各國在財務、人口結構、社會安全保障結構、勞動、教育等次體系的政策互動與制度互補,如何形塑出影響失業現象的模式或機制。本文使用多元尺度方法分析研究指標,得到一組空間維度座標位子後再使用叢集分析方法,準確的在空間構圖上圈選群集類型,最後得出了三個群集。第一為加拿大、愛爾蘭、澳洲、瑞士、美國、紐西蘭;第二為比利時、荷蘭、英國、德國、義大利、西班牙、葡萄牙、奧地利、日本;第三群集為丹麥、芬蘭、瑞典、挪威和法國。經過與失業福利體制相關文獻之對話與檢核後,本研究將上述三個群集分為:自由體制、管制體制和社會投資體制,並說明這幾個體制的特色與過往研究的異同之處。
This study is aim to test how OECD countries’ unemployment system is classified into different types, according to certain institutional configurations. Focusing on financial, demographic structure, social security structure, labor, and education policy, we try to observe those interactive mode or mechanism shaping the impact of unemployment. This article uses a multi-dimensional analysis to the analysis of indicators; a set of spatial dimensions coordinates of the seat, and then use cluster analysis method, circle the type of clustering in the space composition. Three groupings have been evolved through the clustering. First for Canada, Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, the United States, New Zealand; Second for Belgium, the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Japan; third cluster of Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and France. Three groups are specified compare with the previous literature on unemployment/ welfare regime: the liberal regime system, regulated regime system and social investment regime system, and description of these regime system characteristics and the similarities and differences with previous research findings have been highlighted and analyzed.
