Abstract
The German co-determination system constitutes one of the most important forms of employee participation in management. While falling short of a fully self-managed system, co-determination, as it is currently practised in the Federal Republic of Germany, is frequently heralded as the most advanced system of employee control in the western world.
This chapter is a revised version of ‘The effect of co-determination on wages’, presented at the Walton Symposium, Glasgow, June 1979.
