Abstract

As boutique economies, New Zealand and Uruguay share a similar location in, and similar problems when confronting the international market. Most of their hard currency earnings derive from primary goods exports, particularly agricultural staples destined for seasonal markets in the Northern Hemisphere. Both have much larger neighbours and are heavily dependent on trade with them. With populations around 3.5 million each, with relatively high rates of unemployment, particularly amongst rural youth, the domestic economies are driven by service sector industries and small manufacturing. Even so, the responses of these two countries to the dictates of market-led economic reform have been dramatically different, as have been their overall results and the impact this has had on the labour movement in each case.
