Quizplus · Accepted Answer

International comparisons show that private sector unionization rates vary greatly by country. For example, in 2018, union density in the private sector was as high as 60 percent in Norway, but only 2 percent in South Korea. It is important to note that unionization rates in general have decreased in most developed countries over the past few decades, but the extent of the decrease and current rates still vary significantly between countries.
