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 244 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 Making the Transition written by Irena Kogan and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the breakdown of socialism in Central and Eastern Europe, the role of education systems in preparing students for the "real world" changed. Though young people were freed from coercive state institutions, the shift to capitalism made the transition from school to work much more precarious and increased inequality in early career outcomes. This volume provides the first large-scale analysis of the impact social transformation has had on young people in their transition from school to work in Central and Eastern European countries. Written by local experts, the book examines the process for those entering the workforce under socialism, during the turbulent transformation years, in the early 2000s, and today. It considers both the risks and opportunities that have emerged, and reveals how they are distributed across social groups. Only by studying these changes can we better understand the long-term impact of socialism and post-socialist transformation on the problems young people in this part of the world are facing today.

Book excerpt: December 1995 The outlook is bright for transition economies that are fully embracing market-based reform, including appropriate, coherently applied labor policies. In other transition economies, a mix of paternalism and populism could produce partial, timid reform that makes them increasingly unproductive and corrupt. Workers will suffer tremendously in countries without credible, consistent policies, as private capital will not invest there. After Central and Eastern European and Central Asian economies abandoned central planning, nearly 195 million workers had to adjust to new rules of work and life. Most transition economies have not yet fully committed themselves to the rules of the marketplace. A few that have are already enjoying growth in wages and employment; in other countries, labor income growth is still to come. Not all workers have a bad memory of life under central planning. Some earned huge rents, and most enjoyed job security. But the initial good performance of centrally planned economies led to stagnation in wages, productivity, and intersectoral employment shifts, and ultimately the crash. The crash coincided with the start of market-oriented reform -- but most countries suffered not from the reforms themselves but from shocks from trade losses and energy price increases as the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance collapsed (CMEA). Since the CMEA's collapse, the people of countries such as Estonia and Slovenia have generally accepted rapid reform as the only way to increase wages and incomes. Reform has not been so well accepted in countries that were forced to enter the transition. Transition brought increasing differentiation in wages, incomes, and employment status. But there is a positive relationship between stabilization, structural reform, and private sector development on the one hand, and labor incomes on the other. The balance between the benefits of such a path (dynamic growth of private employment and wages) and the drawbacks (labor force withdrawal, increasing unemployment, income differentiation, and poverty) improves every year in the leading reform countries. Continued stagnation in the countries resisting reform could result in persistently low labor income. But there could also be a positive demonstration effect from macroeconomic stabilization followed by privatization and coherent structural reform, including new types of labor contracts that enhance worker mobility across jobs, occupations, and regions. Such contracts must be supported by help to the most vulnerable as well as active labor market policies designed to increase the effective labor supply, to maintain labor force participation, and to effectively match jobs and workers. The OECD experience with active labor market policies has not been entirely encouraging but in the transition economies such policies -- if well designed -- could help build social acceptance of reform and smooth the labor force's adjustment to new demands. This paper -- a product of the Office of the Vice President, Development Economics -- was prepared as a background paper for World Development Report 1995 on labor.

Download or read book Labor Market Dynamics A Hidden Markov Approach written by Mr.Ippei Shibata and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes a hidden state Markov model (HMM) that incorporates workers’ unobserved labor market attachment into the analysis of labor market dynamics. Unlike previous literature, which typically assumes that a worker’s observed labor force status follows a first-order Markov process, the proposed HMM allows workers with the same labor force status to have different history-dependent transition probabilities. I show that the estimated HMM generates labor market transition probabilities that match those observed in the data, while the first-order Markov model (FOM) and its many-state extensions cannot. Even compared with the extended FOM, the HMM improves the fit of the empirical transition probabilities by a factor of 30. I apply the HMM to (1) calculate the long-run consequences of separation from stable employment, (2) study evolutions of employment stability across different demographic groups over the past several decades, (3) compare the dynamics of labor market flows during the Great Recession to those during the 1981 recession, and (4) highlight the importance of looking beyond distributions of current labor force status.
Download or read book Transitions in the German Labor Market written by Michael U. Krause and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the so-called Hartz IV reforms around 2005 and during the global crisis of 2008/2009, the German labor market featured mainly declining unemployment rates. We develop a search and matching model with heterogeneous skills to explore the role of structural and cyclical policies for this performance. Calibrating unemployment benefits to approximate legislation before and after the reforms, we find a large reduction in unemployment and its duration, with the transition concluding after about three years. During the crisis, the extended use of short-time labor subsidies that prevent jobs from being destroyed is likely to have prevented strong increases in unemployment.

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.
