This book was released on 1986 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important first step in addressing the issue of obtaining a better fit between unemployment insurance (UI) and retraining was taken in 1970 when the federal government enacted a provision permitting workers to enroll in training without denial of benefits due to application of the work test. Little was done, however, to pursue state compliance with the new provision or to encourage states to view facilitating training as a mission of UI. Even before 1970, Hawaii, West Virginia, and Massachusetts had provisions designed to make it easier for clients to avail themselves of retraining opportunities. Since the 1970 amendments, an additional six states have either revised or expanded their efforts in this area. One problem that persists is a lack of familiarity with the 1970 provisions. Only 23 of the states contacted in a survey of 30 UI officials in the states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands were aware of the 1970 legislation. Although some strategies for improving current retraining provisions would require substantial legislative changes, a good beginning could be made if states would only reassess their programs in light of the 1970 retraining provisions. Then, after individual states decide how far they want to support retraining initiatives, they can begin developing a screening process, undertake labor market assessment procedures to identify dislocated workers early in the UI claims process, and make appropriate referrals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the leading policy experts of our time, an urgent rethinking of how we can better support each other to thrive Whether we realize it or not, all of us participate in the social contract every day through mutual obligations among our family, community, place of work, and fellow citizens. Caring for others, paying taxes, and benefiting from public services define the social contract that supports and binds us together as a society. Today, however, our social contract has been broken by changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and the perils of climate change. Minouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience—raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old—and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential. What We Owe Each Other identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return. Powerful, hopeful, and thought-provoking, What We Owe Each Other provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society—together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal roles for publicly sponsored retraining programs are twofold: (1) to reduce the private and social costs associated with unnecessary delays in the reemployment process; and (2) to assist in the replacement of specific human capital lost when a permanent layoff takes place. Nine different demonstration projects and operating programs were examined through available research reports to determine how well public retraining programs for displaced workers fulfilled these roles. Programs examined included federally funded projects and programs, state retraining programs in California and Minnesota, Canadian training programs, and Australian training programs. One unambiguous finding was that job search assistance strongly affected a variety of labor market outcomes, including earnings, placement and employment rates, and level of unemployment insurance benefits. Given its cost effectiveness, job search assistance should be the core of any adjustment assistance services offered to displaced workers. There was no clear evidence that either classroom or on-the-job training had a significant net impact on employment or earnings. (Contains 51 references, 29 tables, and an index). (CML)
