The Palestinian Labor Market over the Last Three Decades

This paper consists of three economic literature review essays that survey the Palestinian labor market during the last three decades. The first essay examines the economic return to schooling since 1981 until the recent period, taking into consideration the major shocks that the Palestinian economy experienced, such as the First and Second Palestinian Intifadas (1987–93 and 2000–5), respectively, and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority in 1993. A special focus is laid on overcoming the potential endogeneity arising from the schooling coefficient. The second essay discusses the economic costs of several conflict measures (e.g., time and geographical variation in fatalities and other conflict incidents, days under curfews, checkpoints, movement restrictions, and substitution of foreigner workers for Palestinian labor) on the labor market and human capital. Earnings and unemployment are the main labor market indicators, while the human capital impact was assessed by educational attainment. The third essay sheds light on the wage differential in the Palestinian labor market due to geographical and employment sector factors.

Таксономічний аналіз стану ринку праці регіонів України.

The labor market today is one of the most complex elements of the market economy of Ukraine. Researchers consider the current situation to be a crisis and such that it produces labor poverty, a decrease in the economic activity of the able-bodied population, the expansion of forced labor, the separation of the population into socially vulnerable groups and a number of other problems. Thus, the tasks of state regulation of the labor market, solving the problem of effective employment of the population, creating a labor market, and preventing mass unemployment and migration become particularly relevant. The state of the labor market in Ukraine and its regions requires constant analysis and monitoring. Assessing the level of competitiveness of regions in terms of labor market indicators is faced with the need for a joint analysis of many different socio-economic indicators. Thus, the task of rating labor markets in the regions of Ukraine can be reduced to the task of streamlining multidimensional objects and determining the most competitive one, which makes it possible to use a taxonomic procedure to solve this problem. The aim of the study is to determine the rating of the regions of Ukraine on the main socio-economic indicators of the labor market, which have the most important influence on its functioning. The article identifies the main trends in the national labor market at the present stage of state development and analyzes the state of regional labor markets using the taxonomic method. The advantages of this method are highlighted and applied to the rating of regions by main labor market indicators: amount of economically inactive population, employed population, number of vacancies, population size, average wage, wage arrears, unemployment rate, number of registered unemployed, registered labor migration. The results of the taxonomic analysis allowed to rank the regions of Ukraine on the main indicators of the labor market in 2017, to divide them into four groups. The article presents the main vectors of labor market reform that are required by the problems found. It is proved that it is necessary to radically change the place of labor market issues in the system of priorities of the state socioeconomic policy.

Forze lavoro deboli

Among the main labour market indicators analysed in the European Labour Force survey we can observe not only the employed, the unemployed and inactive people (students, retirees, unable to work and people declaring to be unavailable to work), but also people who are available to work but who are not actively looking for a job. The so-called “discouraged” workers. The Italian labour force is characterized by strong elements of weakness: by a female employment rate lower than the European average, by an historical persistence of youth unemployment, both based on a strong territorial dispersion of job opportunities. This elements influence also the level of participation in the labour market and thus the number of “discouraged” workers. In the European comparison Italy ranks on the one hand among countries in stronger territorial employment and unemployment rates dispersion, and on the other hand it has one of the highest percentages of discouraged workers.The discouraged workers’ phenomenon has a long tradition of studies in the social sciences and its dynamics are generally associated with economic cycles.The most recent studies have validated this interpretation highlighting the strong relevance of job opportunities individual perception as a determinant in influencing the active participation in the labour force. In this paper we will try to analyse what individual characteristics (sex, age, marital status, level of education, previous work experience and job search channels) affect the propensity to become discouraged. We will analyze (using some logistic models) the data from the labour force survey at three points in time: 2007 (before the crisis), 2011 (four years after the start of the crisis), 2015 (to observe the current situation). This to understand the effect of the crisis on the propensity to become discouraged.

Regional Labor Markets: Unstable Equilibrium

In 2016, almost all the main labor market indicators, that is, wages and salaries, the level of the rate of unemployment and the share of part-time employment are close to the levels of 2015. The labor market virtually stands still in a state of shaky equilibrium. However, there are serious regional differences behind the dynamics of those indicators across the country. Though the rate of unemployment in Russia has increased somewhat in the past two years, in more than one-third of regions it fell; similar dynamics were observed in respect of the number of workers transferred to part-time employment. The analysis shows that regions applied various instruments to cut labor costs and that practice helped smooth the general nationwide dynamics of labor market indicators.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF UNEMPLOYMENT OF YOUTH: GENERAL TASKS AND PRIVATE MODELS OF MARKET INDICATORS

Non-formal education and the labour market performance: a comparative analysis / Edukacja pozaformalna a rynek pracy: analiza porównawcza

The main objective of this article is the investigation of the relationship between non-formal education and labour market performance. The focus of the study is on selected issues related to educational activity of the employed population, as well as potential link between non-formal education and the main labour market indicators. The paper is based on the comparative analysis of available statistical data for Poland and the United Kingdom. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to describe and compare the scale and nature of non-formal training which is an important element of the current focus of lifelong learning policies in both countries. The study suggests that observed differences in educational activity may result from different levels of skill specialisation in the economy, employment protection and employees mobility in the labour market.

Labor mobility, economic shocks and jobless growth evidence from panel data in Morocco

During the past 20 years, Morocco has implemented a wide range of macroeconomic, social and labor market reforms that have delivered in terms of GDP growth and household welfare. Yet, these positive developments are not reflected by the main labor market indicators, a phenomenon observed elsewhere in developed and developing economies alike and labeled as ‘jobless growth’. For the first time in Morocco, this paper investigates the question of labor mobility using quarterly panel data in an effort to determine whether people have moved to better sectors and jobs. Results point to significant labor mobility between labor statuses with quite distinct features across population groups. All groups experience some form of labor market mobility every quarter and women are as mobile as men. However, the transitions that women experience are very different from the transitions that men experience and women's performance is worse than men's performance in almost all aspects of labor mobility.

Econometric Modelling of Lithuanian Labour Market

Lithuanian labour market indicators, such as the total number of employees, the number of employees in the private and public sectors, the number of the unemployed, labour force, employment and unemployment rates, the relative number of employees, average monthly gross income are analysed in the paper. The experience of foreign countries and Lithuania in creating labour market models and econometric methodology has been examined. As a result, a new model of the Lithuanian labour market is produced, comprising five regressive equations, which are part of the recursive SVAR model, and four identities, which are part of balance equations. According to the logic of economic and other research, relevant connections in the economy have been specified, unknown parameters of equations have been estimated. Finally, forecasts of endogenous indicators for 2014 have been provided, and results have been compared with the projections of the main labour market indicators for 2014−2017, published by the Ministry of Finance. Calculations have been made using a statistical package Gretl.
