Download or read book Regional Unemployment and Its Persistence in Transition Countries written by Fabian Bornhorst and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We look at the differences in regional unemployment rates in six major transition countries and their persistence over time. We analyse the role various adjustment mechanisms play. While movement out of the labour force seems to be one consequence in many regions with high relative unemployment, there are also signs of emerging wage flexibility. Employment creation, by contrast, has not picked up in regions of high unemployment. Labour mobility also remains very limited in size although it appears to respond to basic economic incentives. Policies addressing housing market imperfections and information asymmetries are necessary to increase worker mobility and to integrate better national labour markets.

Download or read book Regional Labor Markets written by José Enrique Garcilazo-Corredera and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of European unemployment has traditionally been studied as a national phenomenon. Various national studies have developed a hypothesis - the labor market hypothesis - that prescribes a series of reforms in labor markets as the cure to unemployment. But do these reforms really work? And is there a regional dimension, or a continent-wide dimension to the problem of European unemployment? The book 'Regional Labor Markets, Unemployment and Inequality in Europe' departs from the labor market flexibility hypothesis in distinct ways: first, it changes the unit of analysis to the regional level to explore the regional dimension, and, second, it incorporates the relationship between pay-inequality and unemployment. With these changes, forces at the regional, national and continental levels affecting the unemployment rate are included in the analysis. The book is aimed at economists, policymakers, political scientists, and professors and students of economics in general.

Download or read book Regional Labor Market Developments in Transition written by Peter Huber and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author analyzes regional labor market disparities in transition by presenting some data and summarizing existing literature. He finds that large and persistent regional labor market disparities developed in virtually all transition countries and that there is some evidence of polarization. Differences in starting conditions and market access seem to be the major reasons for regional divergence in transition. Furthermore, regional wages are only slightly more flexible than in many European Union labor markets, interregional migration is low, and capital seems to move toward high wage and low unemployment urban centers rather than to the most backward regions. Policy should thus take a long-run perspective on the existing regional disparities, focus on removing barriers to mobility, review existing institutions for implementing regional policy, and aim at a close coordination of regional and labor market policy instruments.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World trade has expanded significantly in recent years, making a major contribution to global growth. Economic growth has not led to a corresponding improvement in working conditions and living standards for many workers. In developing countries, job creation has largely taken place in the informal economy, where around 60 per cent of workers are employed. Most of the workers in the informal economy have almost no job security, low incomes and no social protection, with limited opportunities to benefit from globalization. This study focuses on the relationship between trade And The growth of the informal economy in developing countries. Based on existing academic literature, complemented with new empirical research by the ILO And The WTO, The study discusses how trade reform affects different aspects of the informal economy. it also examines how high rates of informal employment diminish the scope for developing countries to translate trade openness into sustainable long-term growth. The report analyses how well-designed trade and decent-work friendly policies can complement each other so as to promote sustainable development and growing prosperity in developing countries.

Early hopes for a rapid and smooth economic transformation soon turned out to be overly optimistic.

Actual developments have left deep scars on the labor market, and the effects will be felt for decades to come. Was this outcome to be expected, perhaps even inevitable? What went wrong, and what were the available options? Or is the current state of Eastern German labor market in fact better than is commonly assumed?
