Download or read book Neighborhood Jobs Race and Skills written by Daniel Immergluck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1998, Neighbourhood Jobs, Race, and Skills argues that race is a powerful and persistent barrier to employment. Analysing existing literature, this book outlines how racial discrimination in hiring against African Americans appears to remain a contributor to high unemployment rates in black neighbourhoods. The book also discusses how issues such as poor schools and physical and social isolation compound employment problems, as well as changes in policy on skill requirements and the location of jobs. The book argues that combined, this is a major contributor to concentrated urban employment and poverty.

Download or read book When Corporations Leave Town written by Joseph Persky and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New suburban communities have sprung up all over America, while industrial plants and other commercial districts in the inner city have been left to decay. Nowhere is this more evident that the midwestern United States, where newly formed communities have funneled jobs and income from the inner city. Generally known as sprawl, the problem is particularly acute in those metropolitan areas where deconcentration is taking place-decline in the central city coupled with suburban growth. This process creates benefits in the sububrs, but also increasingly poses costs in the form of congestion and increased infrastructure costs. When Corporations Leave Town analyzes and develops a consistent and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of employment deconcentration, focussing on central cities and their suburbs. Sprawl and deconcentration have become big issues in Vice President Albert Gore's presidential campaign, and are the subject of a growing number of policy initiatives, conferences, and research efforts by organizing such as the Urban Land Institute, the National Homebuilders Association, and the Brookings Institute. Joseph Persky and Wim Wiewel compare the costs and benefits of a firm's locating in the central city with locating in the suburbs. They use a hypothetical model of a large manufacturing plant and a business services office in the Chicago metropolitan area to calculate tangible and intangible costs such as population and traffic congestion, air pollution, housing abandonment, loss of farmland, tax liabilities, and the strain put on suburban public resources. Persky and Wiewel then explore a broad range of public policies advocated for reversing or mitigating metropolitan deconcentration.

Download or read book Work and Inequality in Urban China written by Yanjie Bian and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1994-01-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic analysis of the impact of work organization on the social stratification of individuals in urban China. It explains why economic and labor market segmentation is possible and necessary in state socialism at a certain stage of its development, as in market capitalism, and how important one's work unit or danwei is to the life of socialist workers in Chinese cities. Based on survey data, personal interviews, and official statistics, the author shows that structural allocation, status inheritance, educational achievement, political virtue, and interpersonal connections (guanxi) interplay in determining an individual's opportunities for entering and moving into a desirable place to work, for obtaining Communist party membership and an elite class status, and for receiving material compensation such as wages, bonuses, fringe benefits, housing, and home locations.

Download or read book City systems in Advanced Economies written by Allan Pred and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977. This book provides answers to two fundamental and interrelated questions about the modern city. First, what are the processes underlying the past and present growth of ‘post-industrial’ metropolitan complexes and the economically advanced city-systems to which they belong? Second, what are the implications of on-going growth for efforts to reduce interregional inequalities of employment opportunity? The first section of the book introduces the basic concepts such as the properties of systems of cities. It then provides an analysis of their growth in advanced economies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and looks to further possibilities.
Download or read book Large Companies and Shaping Labour in Urban Regions written by Robert Scholz and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study illustrates the importance of the 50 largest employers in Berlin with a focus on their employment structures under the influence of differentiating firm characteristics. Do they have their headquarters in Berlin? Are there any industry specifics? Who are the owners of the companies? What role do stock market listings play? What is the financial impact of their personnel expenses? How widespread is co-determination in these companies? To what extent do companies participate in vocational training? As the study shows, the largest 50 companies in Berlin account for more than every sixth employee and for every fourth trainee, in total the companies spent for personnel expenses - about half as much as the Berlin Senate budget. The companies therefore have an enormous regional economic role. With regard to employee participation, it can be seen that although works councils are generally widespread at plant level, only about seven out of ten employees are represented by employee representatives on the supervisory boards of all the large companies. After all, almost two out of five companies have no co-determination in their supervisory boards. At the same time, the study shows that companies with parity co-determination have a disproportionately large number of employees in relation to their number and record an above average in personnel expenses. Finally, companies with a strong anchoring of co-determination in the supervisory board are more strongly involved in vocational training. This is particularly relevant because the majority of companies have very low training rates.
