Hard‐to‐Reach Insider Actors on Light‐Touch Labour Market Regulation in the UK: Compliance, Deterrence, and Intelligence?
本文研究英国一线监管人员如何通过放任而非执法来容忍低薪不稳定工作中的胁迫与剥削，揭示了当前劳动市场监管在合规、威慑和情报方法上的局限。
ABSTRACT Actors who deliver state policy on low wage precarious workers on the front‐line manage coercion and exploitation in the workplace by accepting the presence of both through permissiveness rather than seeking enforcement of labour market regulations. To develop this argument the article examines permissiveness in compliance, deterrence, and intelligence approaches used by regulators and enforcement agencies. The article provides a contribution to understanding the limitations of current approaches to labour market regulation which oversee noncompliance, confine deterrence activities to specific sectors, and use intelligence sources for law enforcement rather than labour market enforcement. The contribution does so by examining enforcement agency actors, and regulatory actors as hard‐to‐engage actors who play a critical part in the formulation labour market regulation policy on the front‐line.
