Book Synopsis Hidden Unemployment by : Terry F. Buss
Download or read book Hidden Unemployment written by Terry F. Buss and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-11-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and important work addresses the controversy surrounding discouragement among the unemployed. Using an unprecedented set of national and local studies, and drawing on disparate research in nearly every social science discipline, the authors produce an original, highly detailed portrait of discouraged workers. From their analysis they offer recommendations on what can be done to promote employment and reduce long-term dependency on government assistance. Other timely issues discussed are chronic minority unemployment, worker dislocation through plant closings, the impact of low wage jobs on reducing poverty, the feminization of poverty, the plight of the working poor, and the importance of the family.
Book Synopsis The Social Costs of Underemployment by : David Dooley
Download or read book The Social Costs of Underemployment written by David Dooley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-24 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going beyond the usual focus on unemployment, this 2004 book explores the health effects of other kinds of underemployment including forms of inadequate employment as involuntary part-time and poverty wage work. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this compares falling into unemployment versus inadequate employment relative to remaining adequately employed. Outcomes include self-esteem, alcohol abuse, depression, and low birth weight. The panel data permit study of the plausible reverse causation hypothesis of selection. Because the sample is national and followed over two decades, the study explores cross-level effects (individual change and community economic climate) and developmental transitions. Special attention is given to school leavers and welfare mothers, and, in cross-generational analysis, the effect of mothers' employment on babies' birth weights. There emerges a way of conceptualizing employment status as a continuum ranging from good jobs to bad jobs to employment with implications for policy on work and health.

Book Synopsis Disguised Unemployment in Underdeveloped Areas by : Yong Sam Cho
Download or read book Disguised Unemployment in Underdeveloped Areas written by Yong Sam Cho and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to examine the accepted concepts and theories on surplus labor in underdeveloped agricultural economics, particularly in the literature on "disguised unemployment." By doing so, the author clears tha way toward finding a more valid theoretical concept of this vital subject, which is the core of potential economic and social development in the underdeveloped countries. The author, after establishing a more realistic and workable definition of surplus labor on the basis of a closer investigation of the extended family-clan-village system, so typical of the tradition-guided underdeveloped societies, proceeds to work out a method for measuring true surplus labor, with rural South Korea as a case example. Of particular interest is the author's distinction between two types of surplus labor: technical (open) idle labor and the tradition-directed (closed) idle labor. Thus having obtained quantitative data on the extent of underemployment in South Korea, the author continues with a discussion of policy implications in the employment structure of underdeveloped countries, and constructs a proposed program for the utilization of surplus labor, without the application of totalitarian methods, without waiting for the availability of additional capital from the outside, and without making a change in traditional instituions and a priori condition for the utilization of idle labor. This program calls for capital improvements within the agricultural area, financed by the agricultural sector itself, after it is shown through statistical data that capital improvements in agriculture yield quicker and greater results than in other sectors of the economy. The author also attempts to show how such a program would not only put to work a major part of unutilized labor on agricultural development projects, but would also pave the way toward a gradual dissolution of those social traditions and institutions that have been economically hampering and that have been, thereby, an important cause of perpetuating economic and social stagnation. The author also claims for his program the aded virtue of minimizing the social unrest that results from economic distress, thus safeguarding political stability within the framework of needed reform. The government of the Republic of Korea cooperated closely with the author in carrying out the research underlying this study. Basic statistical data were obtained through the cooperation of the research department of the Bank of Korea.

Book Synopsis Unemployment in China by : Grace O.M. Lee
Download or read book Unemployment in China written by Grace O.M. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unemployment in China offers a new and invaluable insight into the Chinese economy, keenly analyzing the new directions the world's next superpower is now taking. Successfully bringing together a wide range of research and evidence from leading scholars in the field, this book shows how unemployment is one of the key issues facing the Chinese economy. China's market-oriented economic reform and industrial restructuring, while greatly improving efficiency, have also sharply reduced overstaffing, leading to a large increase in unemployment. At the same time, further restructuring is predicted as the full impact of the accession to the WTO is felt throughout China. A further problem is that new jobs in China's growth industries are more likely to be secured by younger, better-qualified workers than by older, poorly educated and unskilled workers who have been laid off. This book discusses a wide range of issues related to the growing unemployment problem in China and examines the problems in particular cities, appraises the government response, and assesses the prospects going forward.

Book Synopsis The Dynamics of Opportunity in America by : Irwin Kirsch
Download or read book The Dynamics of Opportunity in America written by Irwin Kirsch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country, our children are beginning life from very different starting points. Some have aspirations and believe they can be achieved. For too many others, aspirations are tempered, if not dashed, by the sobering realities of everyday life. These different starting points place children on distinctly different trajectories of growth and development, ultimately leading to vastly different adult outcomes. How did we get to a place where circumstances of birth have become so determinative? And what must we do, within communities and across our country, to better equalize opportunity for more Americans – both young and old? The editors of this volume contend that if, as a nation, we do nothing, then we will continue to drift apart, placing an unsustainable strain on the nation’s social fabric and the character of its democracy. Consequently, understanding the dynamics governing the distribution and transmission of opportunity – and transforming this understanding into policies and programs – is critical for not only the life outcomes of individual Americans and their children, but also the country as a whole. The goal of Educational Testing Service’s Opportunity in America initiative is to explore these powerful dynamics and to describe and convey them in a way that advances the national conversation about why we must take action – and how best to do so. This volume contains 14 chapters, including an epilogue, written by leaders from a range of fields including education, economics, demography, and political science. Collectively, they not only illuminate key aspects of the problem but also offer suggestions of what policies, programs, and changes in practices could begin to reverse the trends we are seeing. Written in an engaging style, this volume constitutes an essential foundation for informed discussion and strategic analysis.
Book Synopsis Unemployment in Capitalist, Communist and Post-Communist Economies by : J. Porket
Download or read book Unemployment in Capitalist, Communist and Post-Communist Economies written by J. Porket and published by Springer. This book was released on 1995-04-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No modern economy can escape open unemployment as long as free labour and a free labour market exist. In any modern economy, there exists a tension between economic individualism and economic collectivism, but market forces cannot forever be denied. While Part 1 examines open and hidden unemployment in capitalist market economies and socialist command economies prior to 1989, Part 2 concentrates on the issue of unemployment in post-communist economies between 1989 and the end of 1993. Finally, Part 3 summarizes, re- examines, and expands on those selected dimensions of the issue of unemployment that are deemed currently to be relevant to both Western and post-communist economies. Although the book is primarily about unemployment, open as well as hidden, it also is about economic systems and their transformation and, hence, about the role of the state in the economy.

Book Synopsis Economics of the Labour Market by : P. N. (Raja) Junankar
Download or read book Economics of the Labour Market written by P. N. (Raja) Junankar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global crisis has led to dramatic increases in unemployment rates over most of the countries of the OECD. This book provides alternative explanations of this phenomenon. Junankar begins with surveys of the labour market: labour demand, labour supply, and labour force participation. He argues that the growth of unemployment and long-term unemployment is mainly due to a lack of aggregated demand and not due to high unemployment benefits. Economics of the Labour Market shows that unemployment and long-term unemployment impose serious and significant costs on individuals, families, and society in general. Raja Junankar focuses on vital social issues arising from the malfunctioning of economies and this collection of essays tackles the real cost of unemployment.
