Book Synopsis The Privatization Process by : Terry Lee Anderson
Download or read book The Privatization Process written by Terry Lee Anderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1996 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its inception in 1966, the Canadian Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) has grown to employ approximately 20,000 workers annually, the majority from Mexico. The program has been hailed as a model that alleviates human rights concerns because, under contract, SAWP workers travel legally, receive health benefits, contribute to pensions, are represented by Canadian consular officials, and rate the program favorably. Tomorrow We're All Going to the Harvest takes us behind the ideology and examines the daily lives of SAWP workers from Tlaxcala, Mexico (one of the leading sending states), observing the great personal and family price paid in order to experience a temporary rise in a standard of living. The book also observes the disparities of a gutted Mexican countryside versus the flourishing agriculture in Canada, where farm labor demand remains high. Drawn from extensive surveys and nearly two hundred interviews, ethnographic work in Ontario (destination of over 77 percent of migrants in the author's sample), and quantitative data, this is much more than a case study; it situates the Tlaxcala-Canada exchange within the broader issues of migration, economics, and cultural currents. Bringing to light the historical genesis of "complementary" labor markets and the contradictory positioning of Mexican government representatives, Leigh Binford also explores the language barriers and nonexistent worker networks in Canada, as well as the physical realities of the work itself, making this book a complete portrait of a provocative segment of migrant labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its importance, labor is one of the least addressed issues in privatization. The lack of information on the employment impact of privatization has exacerbated the fears and concerns of governments and workers alike. This paper examines the effects of privatization on labor and analyzes the mechanisms that governments can use to minimize the political and social costs of labor restructuring in privatization, by drawing on the experience of mixed economies.

Book Synopsis Essays on the Minimum Wage, Immigration, and Privatization by : Doruk Cengiz
Download or read book Essays on the Minimum Wage, Immigration, and Privatization written by Doruk Cengiz and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation empirically examines effects of the minimum wage, immigration, and privatization; three of the most crucial policies that impact workers worldwide using recent advances in statistics and econometrics to provide causally interpretable results, and to reconcile controversies in the literature. In the first chapter, titled "Seeing Beyond the Trees: Using machine learning to estimate the impact of minimum wages on affected individuals", I identify minimum wage workers prior to estimating its effects using machine learning tools, and provide highly representative demographically-based groups that capture as much as 73.4% of all likely minimum wage workers. I find that there is a very clear increase in average wages of workers in these groups following a minimum wage increase, validating my approach to constructing these groups. I find scant evidence of employment loss or a decline in fringe benefits in response to the policy change. I show that the results are robust for a variety of methods to construct the counterfactuals including a data-driven interactive fixed effects model. Importantly, when I consider specifications that indicate a disemployment effect for teens similar to some of the literature, I find no adverse employment effect on affected non-teens, - suggesting that the current controversy is largely limited to teens, a small and a shrinking share of the minimum wage workers. Finally, I propose a falsification test that reveals whether an estimated minimum wage effect is confounded by shocks to unaffected individuals which further reconciles conflicting evidence in the literature. In the second chapter, titled "Is It Merely A Labor Supply Shock? Impacts of Syrian Migrants on Local Economies in Turkey" co-authored with Hasan Tekg\"u\c{c}, we use a large and geographically varying inflow of over 2.5 million Syrian migrants in Turkey between 2012 and 2015 to study the effect of migration on local economies. We do not find adverse employment or wage effects for native-born Turkish workers overall, or those without a high school degree. These results are robust to a range of strategies to construct reliable control groups. On the other hand, we find evidence for a number of channels indicating demand side effects of migration that help offset the impact of a labor supply shock. Turkish workers' participation in the formal sector rose in response to the migration, consistent with complementarity of migrants and native born workers. In addition, migration led to an increase in residential building construction, with the number of new dwelling units increasing by more than 33%. Finally, we show that Syrian migration brought in capital and entrepreneurs to the host regions, spurring new business creation: the migration led to a more than 24% increase in new companies, reflecting an increase in both Syrian-founded and non-Syrian founded companies. Our findings suggest that migration-induced increases in regional demand and capital supply enable local labor markets to absorb inflow of migrant labor, and prevent sizable wage decline or job loss for native workers. In the third chapter, titled "When Does Privatization Process Begin? Total Effects of Privatization in Turkey", I examine effects of privatization process as a whole in Turkey. I find that the privatization has resulted in a 65% decline in firm-level workforce, an 18 percentage point increase in the profit-margin, and statistically no change in real sales. In addition, I show that the privatization is a process that starts before the date of sale of the firm. Therefore, overlooking the downsizing of the firm before the sale severely biases the results, which appears to be the underlying cause behind conflicting findings in the literature. I conclude that privatization results in an income transfer from wage-earners to profit-earners.

Book Synopsis The Enabling State by : Neil Gilbert
Download or read book The Enabling State written by Neil Gilbert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1989-10-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades new arrangements have emerged for the finance and delivery of social welfare in the United States and other industrial democracies. Moving beyond the conventional paradigm of the welfare state, these arrangements form an alternative model. This study details a fresh vision of social welfare transfers--how they are delivered, and whom they benefit. The authors explore the use of private enterprise and market-oriented approaches to the delivery of social provisions, and examine how welfare benefits are derived from the full range of modern social transfers including tax expenditures, credit subsidies, and those induced by regulatory activity. Reappraising the modern boundaries of social welfare, this book provides insights into the structure and dynamics of a novel social model that will open new avenues for scientific study and public debate.

Book Synopsis Privatizing Social Security by : Martin Feldstein
Download or read book Privatizing Social Security written by Martin Feldstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents the most important work to date on one of the pressing policy issues of the moment: the privatization of social security. Although social security is facing enormous fiscal pressure in the face of an aging population, there has been relatively little published on the fundamentals of essential reform through privatization. Privatizing Social Security fills this void by studying the methods and problems involved in shifting from the current system to one based on mandatory saving in individual accounts. "Timely and important. . . . [Privatizing Social Security] presents a forceful case for a radical shift from the existing unfunded, pay-as-you-go single national program to a mandatory funded program with individual savings accounts. . . . An extensive analysis of how a privatized plan would work in the United States is supplemented with the experiences of five other countries that have privatized plans." —Library Journal "[A] high-powered collection of essays by top experts in the field."—Timothy Taylor, Public Interest
