This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada and the countries of Latin America are in the midst of major changes and choices in the area of labor markets and related social policy. These decisions are likely to have profound consequences for the quality of life of workers throughout the hemisphere. Labor Market Policies in Canada and Latin America: Challenges of the New Millennium reviews the evidence of Canada and Latin America on three major labor policy instruments - unemployment insurance, minimum wages and training - and on the effects of the payroll taxes which are the main means of funding the unemployment insurance system and other components of social expenditure. This is the first study attempting an in-depth comparison of these labor policy instruments between Canada and Latin America. The useful juxtaposition of Canadian and Latin American experiences comes at a time when the trend in Canada is to back away from the perhaps overly generous or ineffectively administered elements of the labor legislation/social security net and when Latin American countries have undertaken significant reforms of their past systems but require further changes to move toward the sorts of legislation and support systems that characterize developed countries. The experiences of Canada and Latin America are mutually relevant since all are small economies forced to adjust to events at the world or hemispheric level and most are inclined to approach policy in an intermediate fashion which falls between the more market-oriented American and the more interventionist European models. Together with its comparative aspect, this volume attempts a more balanced and in-depth assessment in each of the policy areas than has hitherto been available. The gradually increasing base of available empirical data on the period after the reforms has been used in the studies, which provide thorough syntheses of the available research for Canada and Latin America.
Download or read book Unemployment Insurance Recall Expectations and Unemployment Outcomes written by Lawrence F. Katz and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper shows the importance of explicitly accounting for the possibility of recalls when analyzing the determinants of unemployment spell durations and the effects of unemployment insurance (UI) on unemployment outcomes in the United States. These issues are examined using a unique sample of UI recipients from Missouri and Pennsylvania covering unemployment spells in the 1979- 1981 period. We find that those expecting recall who are not recalled tend to have quite long unemployment spells. Furthermore, ex-ante temporary layoff spells (the spells of individuals' who initially expect to be recalled) may account for over 60 percent of the unemployment of UI recipients and appear to account for much more unemployment than ex-post temporary layoff spells (spells actually ending in recall). We estimate a competing risks model in which the finding of a new job and recall are treated as alternate routes of leaving unemployment. Our results using this approach show that the recall and new job exit probabilities have quite different time patterns and are often affected in opposite ways by explanatory variables. We also find that the probability of leaving unemployment (both through recalls and new job finding) increases greatly around the time that UI benefits lapse.

Download or read book Recalls Flexibility at the Expense or to the Benefit of Employees written by Susanne Edler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recalls (also known as ‘temporary layoffs’) are used as employment strategy in the German labor market for handling fluctuations in the need of labor. Susanne Edler presents research that reveals that employment relations after recalls are less protected by labor market regulations and more exposed to the competitive market processes than continuously employed workers that grant wage premiums (rents) due to their higher shielding from the competitive labor market. However, compared to other discontinuous employment relations temporary layoffs can be the better alternative since employers as well as employees make use of their transaction-specific investments in human capital and thereby generate ‘composite rents.’

Download or read book The Work Sharing Program in Canada written by David M. Gray and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work Sharing, a program run by Human Resources Development Canada, offers help to employees who would otherwise be caught in a layoff of at least three months. Under the program, the employer signs an agreement whereby it can reduce its work week and its pay commensurately while the federal government compensates workers at the same replacement rate it would pay if they were receiving conventional unemployment insurance (UI). This study attempts to determine whether the program contributes to economic well-being in a fashion that the conventional UI program does not. It discusses the advantages & drawbacks of subsidized short-term compensation programs, based on a literature survey drawn primarily from the experience in Germany, Belgium, France, and the United States. This is followed by an analysis and evaluation of the Canadian program. Finally, policy recommendations are made for improving the outcomes associated with the program.
Download or read book Understanding Employment Insurance Claim Patterns written by Shawn de Raaf and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placed within the context of a discussion of the principles underlying the present-day EI program, this research leads the authors to identify policy options that are worth exploring further in order to make EI more responsive to the realities of today's labour market, while at the same time addressing potential disincentives and inequities in the current system. [...] This study shows that the relationship between EI and the decision to migrate is complex and depends on individuals' degree of attachment to the labour market, since only those who work few weeks per year were found to be more likely to move following the tightening of the EI program in the mid-1990s. [...] This overhaul took the form of the Employment Insurance (EI) program introduced in 1996 to bring the program up-to-pace with changes in the economy.6 Along with a requirement to reduce program costs, program designers endeavoured "to ensure that the system was responsive to the realities of today's labour market and to remove disincentives and inequities in the system" (HRDC, 1998b, p. i). [...] The 1996 reform represented the culmination of a series of modifications in the mid- 1990s that reduced the generosity of the program. [...] Another important research element was the series of in-depth evaluation studies sponsored by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) in the late 1990s, which provided important lessons in the ongoing refinement of the program.7 The subject matter of these studies was wide-ranging, from the impact of EI's switch to an hours-based system to the implementation of income supplements for.
