Download or read book Worker Displacement During the Transition written by Peter F. Orazem and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The transition to market in Slovenia created labor displacements that were on par or greater than that experienced in North America in the 1980s. A simple theoretical model suggests that factors which raise the probability of layoff should also increase the probability of a quit, predictions that are borne out in data. Probability of both layoffs and quits fell with worker tenure, firm profitability and expected severance costs. Individuals facing a higher probability of displacement accepted slower wage growth than otherwise comparable workers. The incentives to avoid displacement were strong -- workers that actually were displaced faced a slow process of transiting out of unemployment with only one-third finding reemployment. Correcting for selection, real wage losses for displaced workers are comparable to those reported for displaced workers in North America"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site.

Download or read book Assisting Displaced Workers written by Duane E. Leigh and published by W E Upjohn Inst for. This book was released on 1989 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes and evaluates state initiatives dealing with displaced workers. These initiatives include the provision of programs to retain jobs and encourage economic development, as well as reemployment assistance provided directly to workers in the form of retraining programs and job search workshops. The focus is on more innovative state initiatives. The monograph is organized in six chapters. The first chapter defines the problem and continues with an overview of some of the policy issues relating to worker displacement, especially the incidence of displacement and whether government should be expected to provide displaced workers with special assistance. Chapter 2 focuses on state initiatives to upgrade the vocational skills of displaced workers through classroom and on-the-job training programs. Chapter 3 describes the component services of a broadly defined job search assistance program and discusses the results from several demonstration projects that measure the net impact of this type of assistance. Chapter 4 considers the timing and location of program intervention, including state laws, federal laws, and state onsite assistance programs. Chapter 5 includes a consideration of other initiatives, such as programs providing assistance to employee groups to save jobs, enterprise zone proposals, and British and French plans to promote entrepreneurism. The final chapter pulls together the results of the study and suggests answers to six key policy questions, concluding with a consideration of what appears to be the best mix of programs to meet the needs of displaced workers. The document includes 104 references and an index. (KC)

Download or read book Labor Issues in Infrastructure Reform written by Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fears of job loss and changes in employment status have often led workers and unions to oppose privatization and to take actions that delay or block reforms. Many developing country governments have been reluctant to undertake reforms because of labor opposition and the political costs involved. Such difficulties are often compounded by concerns about the social impact of reforms, particularly in countries where social safety nets and labor markets are lacking. The objective of the Toolkit, which includes a CD-ROM, is to provide practical tools and information to help policy makers and practitioners deal with these sensitive issues. The Toolkit helps governments identify and select appropriate strategies and approaches, offers guidelines for design and implementation based on best practice and actual experience, and indicates the factors influencing the choice of strategy and options. The Toolkit is illustrated with examples, checklists, and templates that walk decision makers through best practice methodologies.
