Book Synopsis Asymmetries in Union Relative Wage Effects in Ghanaian Manufacturing - an Analysis Applying Quantile Regressions by : Niels-Hugo Blunch
Download or read book Asymmetries in Union Relative Wage Effects in Ghanaian Manufacturing - an Analysis Applying Quantile Regressions written by Niels-Hugo Blunch and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence from Ghanaian manufacturing confirms that unions have an asymmetrical effect on wages: they benefit mainly the lower end of the wage distribution. The evidence also confirms the presence of structural differences between union and non-union segments: workers in the union sector of manufacturing earn more than workers in the non-union sector. Blunch and Verner analyze the determinants of earnings in Ghanaian manufacturing, focusing on the impact of unions in terms of the "union relative wage effect" and the possible asymmetries of this effect across the earnings distribution. They find evidence of a union relative wage effect occurring through two distinct channels. First, there is a direct effect through individual union membership, the standard "union premium" well known from the empirical literature on unions. Second, there is a spillover effect to non-union members. The authors also find evidence of an additional union effect that comes through firm-specific training. They confirm their conjecture that there is an asymmetry in the union relative wage effect: unions benefit mainly at the lower end of the wage distribution. This finding is in line with earlier research, which generally finds that unions reduce income inequality and wage discrimination. An evaluation of the non-union subsample using the estimated union wage structure confirms the presence of structural differences between the union and non-union segments of Ghanaian manufacturing: for given characteristics, a worker in the union sector earns more than a worker in the non-union sector. This paper - a joint product of Human Development 3, Africa Technical Families, and the Economic Policy Sector Unit, Latin America and the Caribbean Region - is part of a larger effort in the Bank to understand the links between education, training, earnings, and institutional arrangements.

Book Synopsis Nonfarm Income, Inequality, and Poverty in Rural Egypt and Jordan by : Richard H. Adams
Download or read book Nonfarm Income, Inequality, and Poverty in Rural Egypt and Jordan written by Richard H. Adams and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonfarm income has a greater impact on poverty and inequality in Egypt than in Jordan. In rural Egypt the poor receive almost 60 percent of their income from nonfarm sources, while in rural Jordan they receive less than 20 percent. The reason for this difference is land: in rural Egypt, agricultural land is very productive, but access is quite limited, and so the poor are "pushed" into nonfarm work; while in rural Jordan, land is not very productive and access is not highly prized. In both countries the best way to reduce poverty and inequality might be to focus on nonfarm unskilled labor.
