Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estonia, which adopted relatively free labor market policies early in its transition, experienced rapid increases in returns to human capital Ntilde; rising returns to education and rising relative wages for younger educated workers, but declining returns to experience for older workers with little or no education.Noorkoiv, Orazem, Puur, and Vodopivec use a retrospective survey of 9,608 individuals, aged 16 to 75, to monitor the effects of Estonia's economic transition on wages and employment. Estonia is an interesting case because of its early adoption of relatively free labor market policies. Estonia's transition led to rapid increases in returns to human capital. Relative wages for the most educated workers rose for all age groups. There were also rapid increases in returns to job experience, especially for younger workers, but declining returns to experience for older workers with little education.Wage dispersion increased across groups categorized for human capital, but narrowed within those groups (consistent with the predicted effect of labor mobility on wages for comparably skilled workers). Women lost relative share of employment in most sectors but experienced increasing relative wages. Immigrants lost in both employment share and relative wages. Relative wages rose in sectors that gained relative employment and fell in shrinking sectors. Those results were consistent with mobile labor responses to demand shocks, suggesting that mechanisms for equilibrating the labor market developed very rapidly in Estonia.This paper - a product of the Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to investigate employment and wages in transition economies. The study was funded by the Bank's Research Support Budget under the research project Labor Market Adjustment in Estonia (RPO 679-71).

Download or read book The Labor Market and Economic Adjustment written by Pierre-Richard Agénor and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1995-11-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of the labor market in the transmission process of adjustment policies in developing countries. It begins by reviewing the recent evidence regarding the functioning of these markets. It then studies the implications of wage inertia, nominal contracts, labor market segmentation, and impediments to labor mobility for stabilization policies. The effect of labor market reforms on economic flexibility and the channels through which labor market imperfections alter the effects of structural adjustment measures are discussed next. The last part of the paper identifies a variety of issues that may require further investigation, such as the link between changes in relative wages and the distributional effects of adjustment policies.
Download or read book Transition Recession and Labour Supply written by Paolo Verme and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001: Exploring the relationship between the recession and labour supply in Kazakhstan during the 1990s, this volume develops an innovative new model of the transitional process in the context of the CIS. It departs from conventional economic models explaining the process of transition, transferring the focus of attention from labour demand to labour supply with a view to clarifying how the transitional recession has affected households and, in turn, how these changes modified the supply of labour. Paolo Verme examines how the dynamic of the reallocation of labour between state and private enterprises has been drastically altered by the growth of self-employment and also takes a much-needed look at the contribution of other factors, offering an original explanation of this most important economic phenomenon.

Download or read book Towards a Normal Stratification Order written by Ellu Saar and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2011 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a historical perspective, the period between the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) until the Wall Street crash of 2008 was brief, but the social changes were far-reaching and resulted in the profound alteration of institutional frameworks of post-socialist societies in Central and East European countries, e.g. Estonia. This book examines the transformation of Estonian society, concentrating on changes in the stratification order. The (re)distribution of the risks and opportunities between different groups in Estonian society, the 'most neoliberal' in the European Union, and the perceptions about fairness of the most radical changes in post-socialist world are the main issues of this volume.

Download or read book The Wage Curve written by David G. Blanchflower and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wage Curve casts doubt on some of the most important ideas in macroeconomics, labor economics, and regional economics. According to macroeconomic orthodoxy, there is a relationship between unemployment and the rate of change of wages. According to orthodoxy in labor economics and regional economics an area's wage is positively related to the amount of joblessness in the area. The Wage Curve suggests that both these beliefs are incorrect. Blanchflower and Oswald argue that the stable relationship is a downward-sloping convex curve linking local unemployment and the level of pay. Their study, one of the most intensive in the history of social science, is based on random samples that provide computerized information on nearly four million people from sixteen countries. Throughout, the authors systematically present evidence and possible explanations for their empirical law of economics.
