Book Synopsis Labour Market Flexibility and Spatial Mobility by : Raul Eamets
Download or read book Labour Market Flexibility and Spatial Mobility written by Raul Eamets and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ebook examines different aspects of labour market flexibility, spatial mobility of workforce and its effects on labour market flexibility, and factors influencing both labour market flexibility and spatial mobility. Some papers also deal with integration and wage gains of migrant employees. Our intention is to elaborate research mainly in two relatively broad fields with existing research gaps. There is still little research on interactions between spatial mobility and labour market flexibility, despite the fact that some authors (e.g. Monastiriotis, 2005; Paas, Eamets, 2007) find that labour mobility is an essential part of labour market flexibility.

Book Synopsis Flexibility, Mobility and the Labour Market by : George S. Callaghan
Download or read book Flexibility, Mobility and the Labour Market written by George S. Callaghan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997. Politicians of all shades argue that the labour market should be more flexible and workers more mobile. But what does this mean in reality? How flexible and mobile are workers likely to be? Is there an ideological base to the language of flexibility? These are some of the issues covered in this book. Data from a large factory and office is used to argue that the macro labour market consists of non-competitive work groups where strongly held views and values represent a substantial barrier to simplistic definitions of flexibility and mobility. The analysis takes place in three chapters, dealing with recruitment for work, skills used in work and perceptions of different types of work and workers. The findings suggest that non-economic forces (such as institutional, social, historical and political phenomena) strongly influence the creation of separate work cultures. Furthermore, it is argued that the reason for differences between work groups being articulated in a defensive fashion reflects the climate of fear in the labour market, where flexibility is associated with a loss of the (often limited) power, control and influence workers have over their position in the labour market.

Secretariat and published by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ; [Washington, D.C. : OECD Publications and Information Centre. This book was released on 1986 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report on four issues raised by the current debate on labour market flexibility: labour costs, external and internal labour market mobility, and concealed employment. Examines the argument that high labour costs and wage inflexibility have priced workers out of the labour market, concluding that while wages are important in explaining unemployment, other factors are also significant. Discusses external labour market mobility (job mobility, geographic mobility and occupational change) as a means of adjusting to structural change, but finds that the link between mobility trends and labour market efficiency is difficult to ascertain. Looks at enterprise level flexibility, covering numerical and functional flexibility of the work force, and, finally, considers the phenomenon of concealed employment as a perverse form of labour market flexibility.

Book Synopsis Overeducation and Spatial Flexibility by : Carlo Devillanova
Download or read book Overeducation and Spatial Flexibility written by Carlo Devillanova and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the relationship between internal mobility and overeducation. Using a large survey on the Italian labour market, it estimates the effect of workers' spatial flexibility (precise information on commuting and migration) on their probability of being overeducated. The analysis tries to deal with two possible causes of misspecification, which can bias the correlation between migration and overeducation downward: the endogeneity of migration and the omission of relevant job characteristics. This adds to the received literature. It also deals with selection into employment and controls for area and personal characteristics, including several proxies for individual's ability. Results show that commuting is positively correlated with the quality of the education-job match. On the contrary, the conventional wisdom that internal migration unambiguously reduces the incidence of overeducation does not receive empirical support. The negative correlation between migration and overeducation vanishes once job characteristics are included in the analysis and becomes positive when migration is instrumented. These findings can be easily rationalized by incorporating some of the suggestions of the literature on international migration into the standard framework used in spatiallybased explanations for overeducation. From a policy perspective, it seems fair to conclude that the link between internal migration and overeducation remains unclear and that further research is needed in order to better ground policy prescriptions.

Book Synopsis Labour-Market Flexibility and Individual Careers by : Simone R. Kirpal
Download or read book Labour-Market Flexibility and Individual Careers written by Simone R. Kirpal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With labour markets across the world and even in social democratic Europe in a state of unprecedented flux, this exhaustive study addresses the problem of how to balance job market demands, personal career interests and private life becomes a central issue for millions of employees. So how do modern work and employment arrangements restructure individual careers and what is required of individuals in order to manage career transitions successfully over time? This is one of very few in-depth empirical studies to analyze how labour market trends, organisational change and the subjective work orientations of individuals interact. The author’s detailed assessment is based on a comparison of the structural contexts, work orientations and employment histories of nurses and ICT technicians in Germany and the UK. These two core service occupations, as well as the national contexts of the two European nations, have quite different working environments and vocational traditions. Nursing is an institutionalized semi-profession with clear criteria of qualification and career continuity, while information and communication technology (ICT) is a new, evolving field with varied skill backgrounds and high job mobility. To arrive at an understanding of how individual career trajectories are changing, this book closely examines the interplay of labour market demands, employees’ work and career orientations and the development of their skills. It records the ways in which employees adapt to increased labour market flexibility, which, on the one hand, induces discontinuities of careers, employment and work, and on the other, generates new skill requirements and learning expectations, as well as unforeseen opportunities.

Book Synopsis Employability and Local Labour Markets by : Ronald W. McQuaid
Download or read book Employability and Local Labour Markets written by Ronald W. McQuaid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of employability has provided a foundation for much current labour market policy. It has also provided a useful framework for analyzing national and urban labour markets and related policies in a variety of different circumstances both for those in and out of work. The papers in this book help progress the concept of employability, demonstrating the importance of the geographic and spatial context, and showing its flexibility and usefulness as a basis for theory, analysis and policy. The papers are divided into two main sections: understanding the concept of employability lessons for labour market policy in changing labour markets. The chapters also provide general insights into many current labour market policy debates. As employability continues to be the foundation of many labour market policies, this volume considers the economic and geographical dimensions of employability in local labour market analysis and policy. This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal Urban Studies.
Book Synopsis Spatial Mobility, Migration, and Living Arrangements by : Can M. Aybek
Download or read book Spatial Mobility, Migration, and Living Arrangements written by Can M. Aybek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together ten original empirical works focusing on the influence of various types of spatial mobility – be it international or national– on partnership, family and work life. The contributions cover a range of important topics which focus on understanding how spatial mobility is related to familial relationships and life course transitions. The volume offers new insights by bringing together the state of the art in theoretical and empirical approaches from spatial mobility and international migration research. This includes, for example, studies that investigate the relationships between international migration and changing patterns of partnership choice, family formation and fertility. Complementing to this, this volume presents new empirical studies on job-related residential mobility and its impact on the relationship quality of couples, family life, and union dissolution. It also highlights the importance of research that looks at the reciprocal relationships between mobility and life course events such as young adults leaving the parental home in international migration context, re-arrangements of family life after divorce and spatial mobility of the elderly following life transitions. The scholarly work included in this volume does not only contribute to theoretical debates but also provide timely empirical evidence from various societies which represent the common features in the dynamics of spatial mobility and migration.
