Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Globalization Wages and the Quality of Jobs written by Raymond Robertson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009-07-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s, most developing economies have become more integrated with the world s economy. Trade and foreign investment barriers have been progressively lifted and international trade agreements signed. These reforms have led to important changes in the structures of these economies. The labor markets have adjusted to these major changes, and workers were required to adapt to them in one way or another. In 2006, the Social Protection Unit of the World Bank launched an important research program to understand the impact that these profound structural changes have had on workers in developing countries. 'Globalization, Wages, and the Quality of Jobs: Five Country Studies' presents the findings and insights of this important research program. In particular, the authors present the similar experiences of low-income countries with globalization and suggest that low-income countries working conditions have improved in the sectors exposed to globalization. However, 'Globalization, Wages, and the Quality of Jobs' also highlights concerns about the sustainability of these improvements and that the positive demonstration effects on the rest of the economy are unclear. The empirical literature that exists, although vast, does not lead to a consensus view on globalization s eventual impact on labor markets. Understanding the effects of globalization is crucial for governments concerned about employment, working conditions, and ultimately, poverty reduction. Beyond job creation, improving the quality of those jobs is an essential condition for achieving poverty reduction. 'Globalization, Wages, and the Quality of Jobs' adds to the existing literature in two ways. First, the authors provide a comprehensive literature review on the current wisdom on globalization and present a micro-based framework for analyzing globalization and working conditions in developing countries. Second, the authors apply this framework to five developing countries: Cambodia, El Salvador, Honduras, Indonesia, and Madagascar. This volume will be of interest to government policy makers, trade officials, and others working to expand the benefits of globalization to developing countries.
Download or read book Labor Statistics Measurement Issues written by John Haltiwanger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapidly changing technology, the globalization of markets, and the declining role of unions are just some of the factors that have led to dramatic changes in working conditions in the United States. Little attention has been paid to the difficult measurement problems underlying analysis of the labor market. Labor Statistics Measurement Issues helps to fill this gap by exploring key theoretical and practical issues in the measurement of employment, wages, and workplace practices. Some of the chapters in this volume explore the conceptual issues of what is needed, what is known, or what can be learned from existing data, and what needs have not been met by available data sources. Others make innovative uses of existing data to analyze these topics. Also included are papers examining how answers to important questions are affected by alternative measures used and how these can be reconciled. This important and useful book will find a large audience among labor economists and consumers of labor statistics.

Download or read book The Labor Market Dynamics of Economic Restructuring written by Ronald Schettkat and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1992-02-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study develops a framework for the analysis of labour market dynamics based upon a new dynamic flow analysis instead of the conventional labour stock data. To identify the dynamic elements in the labour market, information on flows is needed. Flow data that have become available in recent years - in this case on the US and Germany - show that an enormous amount of labour market mobility is occurring every month. Schettkat analyzes two of the world's most dynamic economies and labour markets - showing that the unemployed are far from being a fixed bloc but are rather a changing population responding greatly to structural alterations.

Download or read book Who s Afraid of the Big Enlargement written by Tito Boeri and published by Centre for Economic Policy Research. This book was released on 2002 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial enthusiasm of many EU citizens at the 'return to Europe' of former members of the Soviet bloc has turned to anxiety at the realization of the possible adverse consequences of enlargement. Potential undesirable effects of enlargement, in particular for labour markets and social conditions, can be met by appropriately designed policies which are so far not in place or planned. Rather than legitimizing such fears, politicians and policy-makers must dispel them by leading the EU and its members to adopt these measures. Enlargement also offers the EU a window of opportunity to accelerate unavoidable reforms of structural policies, agricultural policies and their financing. These are the premises of this new CEPR Policy Paper. The authors outline the key economic and social implications of the prospective accession of the Central and East European countries into the European Union and propose policy recommendations for EU enlargement.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is aimed at estimating the pattern and magnitude of worker and job reallocation, in both the long and the short run, as part of the dynamics of the market economy. It addresses such questions as: Have there been shifts in the relative importance of different sectors and industries? What effects do the exit and entry rates of plants have on the release and hiring of labour? How extensive is the employment expansion and contraction of continuing firms? How important is firm size in the process of job gain and job loss? How significant are worker separations? What is the relationship between form-related job turnover and worker separations? Do `trade-sensitive' industries experience less or more employment change than other industries?.
