Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of Work chronicles the history of unemployment in the United States. It traces the evolution of the problem of joblessness from the early decades of the nineteenth-century to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Challenging the widely held notion that the United States was a labour-scarce society in which jobs were plentiful, it argues that unemployment played a major role in American history long before the crash of the stock market in 1929. Focusing on the state of Massachusetts, Professor Kevssar analyses the economic and social changes that gave birth to the prevalent concept of unemployment. Drawing on previously untapped sources - including richly detailed statistics and vivid verbatim testimony - he demonstrates that joblessness was a pervasive feature of working-class life from the 1870s to the 1920s. The book describes the ingenious, yet quite costly, strategies that unemployed workers devised to cope with the joblessness in the absence of formal governmental assistance. It also explores the many dimensions of working-class life that were profoundly affected by recurrent layoffs and the chronic uncertainty of work. Finally, it demonstrates that the fundamental contours of the Massachusetts experience were repeated, sooner or later, throughout the United States.

Book Synopsis Youth Unemployment in Advanced Europe by : Angana Banerji
Download or read book Youth Unemployment in Advanced Europe written by Angana Banerji and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-01-21 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisis has intensified what was previously a chronic unemployment problem in Europe; youth unemployment is now at unprecedented highs in some European countries. This paper assesses the main drivers of youth unemployment in Europe. It finds that much of the increase in youth unemployment rates during the crisis can be explained by output dynamics and the greater sensitivity of youth unemployment to economic activity than adult unemployment. Labor market institutions also play a significant role in explaining the persistently high levels of youth unemployment, especially the tax wedge, minimum wages relative to the median wage, spending on active labor market policies, the opportunity cost of working (measured by the unemployment benefits), vocational training, and labor market duality. This suggests that policies to address youth unemployment should be comprehensive and country-specific, focused on reviving growth and advancing labor market reforms.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Unemployment Rate by : Steven Robert Foster Barrett

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The official labour force statistics that are used in Australia have serious limitations. While appropriate for characterising the employment and unemployment situations of a labour market dominated by standard employment relations, however, they may now be inappropriate as standard employment relations no longer dominate the Australian labour market. Over the past 25 years, significant restructuring of both the economy and the labour market has occurred resulting in slower growth of full-time employment, a substantial increase in part-time work, a continued decline in the male labour force participation rate and a continued increase in the female participation rate. As a result, two serious problems emerged in the Australian labour market in the wake of the recession of the early-1990s, a substantial increase in both hidden unemployment and visible underemployment, which were not reflected in the official Australian measures of labour underutilisation, that is the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and the trend unemployment rate. Up until the late-1980s, hidden unemployment and visible underemployment were not important sources of labour underutilisation in Australia, but they now contribute significantly to the level of labour underutilisation. Herein lies the problem that is the crux of this thesis. The growth in hidden unemployment and visible underemployment means that the official measures of labour underutilisation for Australia, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate and the trend unemployment rate, no longer provide accurate estimates of labour underutilisation. In fact, they essentially only measure cyclical unemployment and frictional unemployment, which are the core forms of unemployment and joblessness associated with standard employment relations. Consequently, they no longer provide an appropriate basis for the development of employment, economic and social policy in Australia. New indicators are needed that yield better measures of labour underutilisation and hence provide a better basis for public policy. This thesis develops three new labour market indicators that are then used to re-examine the experience of the South Australian labour market over the period 1989 to 2005. The first section of the thesis provides a critical review of the official Australian Bureau of Statistics labour force indicators, and a range of alternative labour force indicators that have been developed since the 1990s. This discussion leads to the development of three new labour force indicators with the particular characteristic of providing broad accessibility for labour market analysts and policy makers including those who generally are not literate in econometric techniques. The second section uses these labour force indicators to re-examine, and re-interpret, the experience of the South Australian labour market over the period 1989 to 2005. The third section draws conclusions from this analysis, arguing in particular that the actual level of labour underutilisation in South Australia is about treble the level that is obtained from either the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate or the trend unemployment rate. Some key policy implications of this finding are then discussed." -- abstract, pages x-xi.

Book Synopsis Men Without Work by : Nicholas Eberstadt

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By one reading, things look pretty good for Americans today: the country is richer than ever before and the unemployment rate is down by half since the Great Recession—lower today, in fact, than for most of the postwar era. But a closer look shows that something is going seriously wrong. This is the collapse of work—most especially among America’s men. Nicholas Eberstadt, a political economist who holds the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute, shows that while “unemployment” has gone down, America’s work rate is also lower today than a generation ago—and that the work rate for US men has been spiraling downward for half a century. Astonishingly, the work rate for American males aged twenty-five to fifty-four—or “men of prime working age”—was actually slightly lower in 2015 than it had been in 1940: before the War, and at the tail end of the Great Depression. Today, nearly one in six prime working age men has no paid work at all—and nearly one in eight is out of the labor force entirely, neither working nor even looking for work. This new normal of “men without work,” argues Eberstadt, is “America’s invisible crisis.” So who are these men? How did they get there? What are they doing with their time? And what are the implications of this exit from work for American society? Nicholas Eberstadt lays out the issue and Jared Bernstein from the left and Henry Olsen from the right offer their responses to this national crisis.

Book Synopsis Flawed System/Flawed Self by : Ofer Sharone
Download or read book Flawed System/Flawed Self written by Ofer Sharone and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today 4.7 million Americans have been unemployed for more than six months. In France more than ten percent of the working population is without work. In Israel it’s above seven percent. And in Greece and Spain, that number approaches thirty percent. Across the developed world, the experience of unemployment has become frighteningly common—and so are the seemingly endless tactics that job seekers employ in their quest for new work. Flawed System/Flawed Self delves beneath these staggering numbers to explore the world of job searching and unemployment across class and nation. Through in-depth interviews and observations at job-search support organizations, Ofer Sharone reveals how different labor-market institutions give rise to job-search games like Israel’s résumé-based “spec games”—which are focused on presenting one’s skills to fit the job—and the “chemistry games” more common in the United States in which job seekers concentrate on presenting the person behind the résumé. By closely examining the specific day-to-day activities and strategies of searching for a job, Sharone develops a theory of the mechanisms that connect objective social structures and subjective experiences in this challenging environment and shows how these different structures can lead to very different experiences of unemployment.

Download or read book Handbook on Measuring Quality of Employment written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment is a key driver of social and economic development. It is also at the centre of most people's lives and the quality of an individual's employment is an important element of his or her well-being. At the same time, labour markets are evolving and the conditions of employment are continuously changing, which affects the lives of workers and their households. This development has been accompanied by growing interest in quality of employment and demands from policymakers, governments and researchers for more systematic information on the quality of employment to complement the well-established quantitative labour market indicators. The Framework offers a coherent structure for measuring quality of employment and provides practical guidance for compiling and interpreting a number of proposed indicators.
Book Synopsis The Youth Labor Market Problem by : Richard B. Freeman
Download or read book The Youth Labor Market Problem written by Richard B. Freeman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a massive body of much-needed research information on a problem of crucial importance to labor economists, policy makers, and society in general: unemployment among the young. The thirteen studies detail the ambiguity and inadequacy of our present standard statistics as applied to youth employment, point out the error in many commonly accepted views, and show that many critically important aspects of this problem are not adequately understood. These studies also supply a significant amount of raw data, furnish a platform for further research and theoretical work in labor economics, and direct attention to promising avenues for future programs.

Book Synopsis The Crisis of Global Youth Unemployment by : Tamar Mayer
Download or read book The Crisis of Global Youth Unemployment written by Tamar Mayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the economic and financial crisis of 2008, the proportion of unemployed young people has exceeded any other group of unemployed adults. This phenomenon marks the emergence of a laborscape. This concept recognizes that, although youth unemployment is not consistent across the world, it is a coherent problem in the global political economy. This book examines this crisis of youth unemployment, drawing on international case studies. It is organized around four key dimensions of the crisis: precarity, flexibility, migration, and policy responses. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the chapters offer a dynamic portrait of unemployment and how this is being challenged through new modes of resistance. This book provides cross-national comparisons, both ethnographic and quantitative, to explore the contours of this laborscape on the global, national, and local scales. Throughout these varied case studies is a common narrative from young workers, families, students, volunteers, and activists facing a new and growing problem. This book will be an imperative resource for students and researchers looking at the sociology of globalization, global political economy, labor markets, and economic geography.
