Abstract
In this chapter, general trends of union density rates in Mexico over the period 1984-2006 are summarized, including disaggregated union density by sector, gender, industry, occupation and region. The decline of unionization was clear in the majority of these categories in the labor force. The objective of this chapter is to assess to what extent union density decline was linked to economic performance and employment; the characteristics of the employed labor force; the political transition and the relations between unions and the state. Recommendations for further research in the area, as well as final considerations, are suggested.
