Satu kajian telah dilakukan oleh  Public Services International (PSI) In cooperation with the International Centre for Trade Union Rights (ICTUR) antara lain melaporkan berkaitan hasil tinjauan di Asia Pasifik berkaitan isu tersebut (2016).

Antara perkara yang dilaporkan

1. Kepentingan Asia Pasifik dalam ekonomi dunia
The Asia Pacific region is home to around 4.46 billion people; this is 60 per cent of the world population1 . It is also home to five of the world’s largest economies – China, Japan, India, Korea and Australia – and has the largest GDP of all continents, both nominal2 and when measured in purchasing power parity3 . In addition, countries such as India, Japan and China host some of the world’s largest trade unions as well.

2. Kadar rendah dalam isu pematuhan hak berkesatuan
Despite these impressive numbers, many countries in the Asia Pacific region have a comparatively low record of compliance of trade union rights. All unions, including those in the public sector, face significant barriers, both in law and in practice. In many countries collective bargaining is absent or restricted in scope and, where it exists, limited rights for the participation of unions or lack of enforcement procedures are common4 . Another problem observed in the region is the broad definition of “essential services”, which exclude workers – in some cases virtually the whole public sector – from exercising full trade union rights

3. Model Kesatuan = Corporatism vs Socialized plan economic

To some extent, the forms that these restrictions take have been shaped by and echo the region’s development paths5 . For instance, in Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and South Korea, models of corporatism and enterprise unionism are prevalent. Trade union and labour laws in Australia and New Zealand have clear roots in British structures (despite a clear departure over the years). And in the industrial relations systems of Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, pre-reform Myanmar, Pakistan, and Singapore, there are significant overlaps. In another group of countries of the so called socialist planned economies, such as China, Laos, Mongolia, North Korea, and Vietnam, there is a pattern of centralised or trade union monopolies rooted in the “party” and the State.
