The impact of institutional change upon the labour market is a topic hugely discussed in the literature. This paper investigates the evolution of labour market institutions in Italy, Singapore, and Korea to underline common features and differences. The three countries differ enormously for geographical and historical reasons and are located in two very unlike continent, Europe and Asia. Nevertheless, beyond geographical, historical and economic dissimilarities, Italy, Singapore and Korea show some common trend in their labour markets: an increase in precariousness and a drop in welfare provisions, as a consequence of the liberal reforms. In Europe, the failure of the welfare system brought about a change of direction towards workfare programs. In Asia, the industrial factory of the world, low-cost workers attract foreign investments, therefore, the weak segments of society, such as women, low skilled, migrants and young people found difficult to sign standard employment contracts.
