Book excerpt: Using data from the 1976-2001 Canadian Labour Force Survey, we examine the stability of currently held jobs and find no period-long drop in job stability. However, job stability declined across the 1980s and rose across the 1990s for workers with less than one year of tenure. When 1987 and 1995 are compared, it can be seen that job stability was steady in Canada but fell slightly in the United States, with the difference concentrated among medium tenured workers. We suggest that this difference was due to a slower recovery in Canada in the 1990s, which caused Canadian workers to be less mobile.

Book Synopsis Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics by : Keith Banting
Download or read book Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics written by Keith Banting and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The redistributive state is fading in Canada. Government programs are no longer offsetting the growth in inequality generated by the market. In this book, leading political scientists, sociologists, and economists point to the failure of public policy to contain surging income inequality. A complex mix of forces has reshaped the politics of social policy, including global economic pressures, ideological change, shifts in the influence of business and labour, changes in the party system, and the decline of equality-seeking civil society organizations. This volume demonstrates that action and inaction policy change and policy drift are at the heart of growing inequality in Canada.

Book Synopsis Generation, Discourse, and Social Change by : Karen R. Foster
Download or read book Generation, Discourse, and Social Change written by Karen R. Foster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just what is a generation? And why, if at all, does it matter? This book asks what generation means to ordinary people, arguing that generation is real and it matters, but not in the ways that we think. Generations are not groups of people who can be categorized and attributed with static, immutable and universal characteristics, nor are they reducible to cohorts, as is the tendency in much social research. Rather, the book reveals generation to be a social phenomenon and a mechanism of social change - as a constellation of ideas and discourses that explains what happens when ideas and ideals collide, and why some discourses flourish and take hold at particular times.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The main contribution of this dissertation is measuring and explaining the increase in instability in the career trajectories of Canadian, British and German workers. The motivation behind this project is solving the contradiction between two bodies of literature. On one hand, a large body of scholarship has focused on the shift away from the standard employment relationship and towards precarious work since the 1980s. This literature studies how the adoption of flexible employment practices by employers has led to decreased job and employment security. On the other hand, many empirical studies in OECD countries suggest that jobs have on average remained relatively stable over the past four decades, as measured by the probability of job separation or average job tenure duration. This would seem to contradict the claims made in the precarious work literature.The results presented in the three empirical chapters rely on survey microdata to show important shifts in job stability patterns in Canada, the UK and Germany. These results identify a clear decrease in job stability since the 1980s in Canada (Chapter 2) and in the UK (Chapter 3) for men in the private sector. Like in the US, this decrease is observed in parallel to an increase in job stability among women, generally associated with their greater job attachment especially around childbirth. In Germany, the results presented in Chapter 3 show evidence of a polarization of job instability, consistent with the dualization literature in comparative political economy. This trend is partly driven by differences between core and peripheral sectors of the economy and insider-outsider dynamics underpinned by German industrial relations and skill formation institutions. It is also driven by gendered dynamics that appear to be rooted in German male breadwinner family regime and recent family and labour market policy reforms. This leads to findings of an increase in the share of women with short-term jobs in Germany, in contrast with Canada and the UK. Finally, the fourth chapter of this dissertation develops a new method to obtain reliable estimates of the changing importance of lifetime jobs. Lifetime jobs are generally identified as a central feature of the career model of the postwar labour market. In contrast, flexible employment and unstable jobs predominant in the new economy are often associated with boundaryless careers. In order to provide a more precise empirical evidence of the changing importance of lifetime jobs, a new cohort-based measure using cross-sectional data is developed and evaluated. The results show that lifetime jobs, defined as jobs lasting for the majority of a worker’s active life, were rare even in the postwar economy, in contrast with the descriptions provided by some of the sociological literature. The share of workers who held a lifetime job in the UK appears stable over time, while the share of long-term jobs declined.More generally, this dissertation highlights three important points. First, the use of different measures of job stability should aim to produce complementary rather than competing evidence. Second, several important transformations of the economy and of labour force characteristics have unfolded in parallel to flexibilization and to the increased attachment of women to the labour market. Research on the relationship between employer practices and career trajectories should be designed in a way that allows the removal of the impact of those transformations on the estimates of change over time. Third, relatively different trends in job stability may be observed across countries for reasons associated with institutional arrangements and reform trajectories, highlighting the relevance of adopting a perspective rooted in comparative political economy for the study of job stability"--
Book Synopsis Is Job Stability in the US Falling? by : Ann Huff Stevens
Download or read book Is Job Stability in the US Falling? written by Ann Huff Stevens and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documenting trends in job stability over the past twenty-five years has become a controversial exercise. The two main sources of information on employer tenure, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the Current Population Survey (CPS), have generally given different pictures of the degree of job stability in the U.S. economy. This paper examines whether the PSID and CPS yield systematically different results with respect to comparable measures of job stability. We find that there is little evidence in either data set of a trend in the share of employed individuals with one year or less of tenure. Both data sets do show an increase in the fraction of male workers aged 30 and over with tenure less than ten years beginning in the early 1990's. We find that the two data sets provide nearly identical results for the 1980's and 1990's while in the 1970's they give results that are somewhat less comparable. We argue that this is probably the result of changes in the CPS tenure question following the 1981 survey. The effects of this change and the choice of ending year and variable definition in PSID-based studies are the most likely explanations for the disparate findings in the literature

Book Synopsis Job Stability in Canada and the United States by : W. G. Picot
Download or read book Job Stability in Canada and the United States written by W. G. Picot and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines whether there has been increasing job instability, which can be manifested either in an increase in the risk of permanent layoffs or as a decrease in job tenure. For Canada, one study found that the share of permanent layoffs in all layoffs rose only marginally during the 1990s recession, and a second noted that the probability of a worker being permanently laid off had not increased in the early 1990s. Other studies found no change in average job tenure but new jobs have become increasingly polarized into short-term and long-term ones. While permanent layoffs continued to be lower in the services sector than the goods sector, recent evidence shows that the relative layoff rate is rising marginally in parts of the services sector. For the U.S., the results are similar. Job tenure has been fairly stable over the past two decades. It had been hypothesized that the frequency of displacement increased between the '80s and the '90s but the data do not show this. The underlying data are described and two data gaps are noted.

Book Synopsis Changes in Job Tenure and Job Stability in Canada by : Andrew Heisz

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using monthly data from the Canadian Labor Force Survey, the author investigates changes in the complete lengths of new job spells from 1981 through 1994. While the average complete length of new jobs did not increase or decrease over the period, changes in the distribution of complete job lengths suggest that there is an increase in the proportion of short-term jobs and a decrease in the proportion of medium-term jobs created over the period. The proportion of long-term jobs remained unchanged. This pattern of change was found among virtually all demographic subgroups examined suggesting that an economy-wide (rather than a sectoral or demographic) explanation must be sought.
