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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers of a dozen contributors, the majority Russian, converge on a crucial aspect of the democratic and economic transition period: the impact of stabilization and structural adjustment on the formation of a labor market. Labor market rigidities pose a threat to this experiment's success. The papers, derived from a 1996 conference on the Russian labor market held at the University of Warwick, address such areas as: labor market features and problems, enterprise restructuring, the vulnerability of women's employment, views of the registered unemployed, and case studies. Tables and figures augment the text. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Structural Change and Dynamics of Labor Markets in Bangladesh written by Selim Raihan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlining important policy requirements for Bangladesh to become an upper middle-income country, the book presents research work conducted during the project “Changing Labor Markets in Bangladesh: Understanding Dynamics in Relation to Economic Growth and Poverty,” sponsored by the International Development Research Center (IDRC), Canada. Bangladesh has experienced remarkable economic growth rates over the last decade. The country has recently been upgraded from a low-income country (LIC) to a lower-middle-income country (LMIC) as per the World Bank’s classification system. By 2024, the country also aspires to graduate from the United Nation’s list of least developed countries (LDC). The 7th five-year plan sets an ambitious target of 8 percent growth in GDP by 2020. There are also steep development targets to be achieved under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. All these will require an enormous leap forward from the current level of economic growth rate and sustaining it in the future. The situation also calls for considerable structural change in the economy, facilitating large-scale economic diversification. Rapid expansion of labor-intensive and high-productivity sectors, both in the farm and nonfarm sectors, is thus crucial for Bangladesh. Further, this should take place in conjunction with interventions to enhance productivity, jobs and incomes in traditional and informal activities where there are large pools of surplus labor. Given its relevance for Bangladesh and applicability to many other developing countries, the book offers a unique and pioneering resource for researchers, industry watchers as well as policy makers.

Download or read book Structural Adjustment Employment and Workers written by Masihur Rahman and published by University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soft budget constraint allowed the public enterprises to hire more workers than was necessary, with the result that losses increased and productivity remained low. For the private sector, lax credit discipline was the analogue of the soft budget constraint, with similar result in respect of productivity. As the reforms progress, particularly as fiscal and credit disciplines are strengthened, it is no longer possible to sustain the surrogate social security system. The author argues that efficiency improvements are necessary for industries in an open and outward looking economy. He also places the issue of industrial workers in the overall context of unemployment and poverty.
