===The Netherlands and Belgium=== The [[polder model]] in the Netherlands is characterized by tri-partite cooperation between [[employers' organization]]s like [[VNO-NCW]], [[labour union]]s like the [[Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging|FNV]], and the government. These talks are embodied in the [[Social Economic Council]] (Dutch: ''Sociaal-Economische Raad'', SER). The SER serves as the central forum to discuss labour issues and has a long tradition of consensus, often defusing labour conflicts and avoiding strikes. Similar models are in use in [[Finland]], namely [[Comprehensive Income Policy Agreement]] and [[universal validity of collective labour agreements]]. The polder model is said to have begun with the Wassenaar Accords of 1982 when unions, employers and government decided on a comprehensive plan to revitalize the economy involving shorter working times and less pay on the one hand, and more employment on the other. This model is also used in [[Belgium]], hence its name (the "polders" are a region comprising the Netherlands and the northern part of Belgium). The polder model is widely, but not universally, regarded as successful incomes management policy.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi=10.1177/0143831X07079351| title=The Polder Model Reviewed: Dutch Corporatism 1965β2000| journal=Economic and Industrial Democracy| volume=28| issue=3| pages=317β347| year=2007| last1=Woldendorp| first1=Jaap| last2=Keman| first2=Hans| s2cid=52990197| url=https://research.vu.nl/ws/files/2288584/203173.pdf| url-access=| url-status=| archive-url=| archive-date=}}</ref>
