Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In general, wage differential is recognized as an important factor in migration, which is crucial to an economy. It is a key issue, especially in Korea, which faces “mono-centric development” around the capital area. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify the determinants of inter-city and intra-city wage differentials and to identify some implications in regional policy. Since 2003, Korea has taken regional policy more seriously; because the over-concentration issue has been gaining more attention not only in academic side but also in terms of its social effects. As regional disparity between the capital area and non-capital area has increased, balanced development has been come more into focus. In order to analyze regional disparity across regions and within regions, we need to first identify income levels. However, there was no appropriate measurement to compare regional economies except Gross Regional Domestic Product(GRDP), which deals with the production side. This measure may not reflect individual behavior in choosing their location. Therefore, it is not an appropriate proxy for regional income level. On the other hand, wages, the cost of living, and amenities are the most important factor in choosing resident location according to the Roback model. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the wage level across regions. For that, city boundaries are supposed to be delineated in terms of economic geography, which is different according to administrative district in general. Since metropolitan areas are usually defined by commuting flow, Korean Metropolitan Statistical Areas(MSAs) delineated by Kim et al.(2008) has been used here to determine the economic spatial range of cities.This research contributes to regional economic analysis comparing wage differentials among and within cities in Korea in that this is a first attempt to compare wages across cities. Further, inter-city wage differentials were measured by average wage in the MSAs and intra-city wage differentials was measured by the wage ratio of high income occupations to low income occupations. Then, the determinants of those wage differentials were analyzed for regional policy implications.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional development that includes income distribution and qualitative growth is one of the major issues in regional economics. Furthermore, Korean regional governments set regional development as a main goal and strive to improve it. However, regional income-Product(Gross Regional Domestic Product, GRDP) in non-capital area has been flowing out into capital area. Consequently, income-distributed (Gross Regional National Income, GRNI) towards non-capital area residents is lower than income-produced by them. This raises concerns about diminishing residents' sentiment toward regional development.Inter-regional income flow is a natural phenomenon in an open economy where physical constraints are relatively low. Yet it is problematic that the amount of income outflow from certain non-capital regions is gradually increasing.Thus, Korean regional governments that encounter this affair are voicing concerns that, as offshore regional income outflow reduce the amount of income-distributed within the regions, it hinders a virtuous regional economic cycle of production, distribution production, expenditure and production. In addition, the regions from which income flows often bear a cost of negative externalities, such as congestion and other environmental disutility, without fully benefitting from economic growth. On the other hand, regions into which income flows benefit economically without paying such costs. There are also rising concerns that income outflow biased toward certain regions is a weighing problem in terms of the equity of income distribution. Considering these issues, offshore regional income outflow is an important matter that regional government must solve in order to promote the virtuous regional economic cycle and to attenuate the regressive regional income distribution.Offshore regional income outflows are divided into following categories: employee compensation, operating surplus and property income. Among them, employee compensation and operating surplus account for a large proportion of outflows. Fundamentally, employee compensation outflows are caused by a spatial mismatch between workplaces and residences. The outflow of operating surplus is due to a spatial mismatch between corporate headquarters and regional branches (office and factories). Since the direct cause of the outflow of income is apparently evident, it seems easy to solve the problem. However, this phenomenon is intertwined with various factors such as space, industry, human resources, and living environment. This is supported by the fact that offshore regional income outflows in certain regions have intensified, even though such regions have struggled to stem their regressive regional income distribution via a series of policy effort. Thus, it is necessary to analyze various factors of offshore regional income outflows and to set a new initiative to soothe intensification of income leakage in certain regions. This paper aims to analyze the determinants of offshore regional income outflows, especially outflows of employee compensation and operating surplus. The analysis is performed through four dimensions: space, industry, human resources, and living environment.
Download or read book The New Chosen People written by Guillermina Jasso and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1990-11-29 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of immigrant success have traditionally illustrated the basic principles of political and economic freedom in the United States. In reality, the presence and achievements of the foreign-born are the complex result of attitudes, choices, and decisions, not only of the immigrants themselves but also of the U.S. government and its native-born citizens. Based on census data and government administrative records, The New Chosen People presents a comprehensive picture of this interaction as the authors examine immigrant behavior in the United States. Jasso and Rosenzweig trace the factors that influence the immigrants' adjustment and achievements in a broad area of concerns—learning English, finding work and earning a living, and raising a family. The authors devote special attention to family relationships—kinship migration, family reunification, and the marriage market—and to the factors determining where immigrants choose to settle. Jasso and Rosenzweig also consider the situation of the largest recent groups of refugees—Cubans and Indochinese—who have entered the U.S. under very different rules than those governing the selection of immigrants from other countries. They also look at how the foreign-born population has changed over time, drawing comparisons between post-1960 immigrants and those of 1900 through 1910. For all foreign-born, the authors discuss the factors that influence decisions to naturalize and the economic and social consequences of achieving legal status. Jasso and Rosenzweig also detail the policy choices that affect the composition of the foreign-born population. What criteria determine who is eligible to enter the country? How do these regulations differ for each country of origin, and how have they changed over the years? The New Chosen People emphasizes the determining influence of choice and selection on the foreign-born population of the United States. For policymakers and social scientists, the book provides a valuable assessment of the economic and social well-being of the nation and its newcomers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socio-economic inequalities in health are present to a greater or lesser extent in all European countries and the available data suggests that the health gap is increasing. Many studies have been conducted to explain inequalities in health and from them much has been learnt about the different contributory factors. However, in practice it seems hard to translate the knowledge of causes into effective interventions and policies. Reducing Inequalities in Health: a European Perspective: * brings together an unrivalled collection of contemporary data on successful policies and interventions * compares differences in approach in several European countries * includes recent evaluation studies * discusses conceptual issues for research * provides examples of good and bad practice in Europe * draws out the policy and research implications for the future With contributions from leading researchers in 14 different European countries, this book provides a comprehensive source of reference for the reader interested in what really works in the field of health promotion and what sort of policies reduce the health gap.

This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades, wages of skilled workers in the United States rose while those of unskilled workers fell; less-educated young men in particular have suffered unprecedented losses in real earnings. These twelve original essays explore whether this trend is unique to the United States or is part of a general growth in inequality in advanced countries. Focusing on labor market institutions and the supply and demand forces that affect wages, the papers compare patterns of earnings inequality and pay differentials in the United States, Australia, Korea, Japan, Western Europe, and the changing economies of Eastern Europe. Cross-country studies examine issues such as managerial compensation, gender differences in earnings, and the relationship of pay to regional unemployment. From this rich store of data, the contributors attribute changes in relative wages and unemployment among countries both to differences in labor market institutions and training and education systems, and to long-term shifts in supply and demand for skilled workers. These shifts are driven in part by skill-biased technological change and the growing internationalization of advanced industrial economies.

This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1965 the foreign-born population of the United States has swelled from 9.6 million or 5 percent of the population to 45 million or 14 percent in 2015. Today, about one-quarter of the U.S. population consists of immigrants or the children of immigrants. Given the sizable representation of immigrants in the U.S. population, their health is a major influence on the health of the population as a whole. On average, immigrants are healthier than native-born Americans. Yet, immigrants also are subject to the systematic marginalization and discrimination that often lead to the creation of health disparities. To explore the link between immigration and health disparities, the Roundtable on the Promotion of Health Equity held a workshop in Oakland, California, on November 28, 2017. This summary of that workshop highlights the presentations and discussions of the workshop.
