Book Synopsis Work Status Choice and the Distribution of Family Earnings by : Nadeem Ul Haque
Download or read book Work Status Choice and the Distribution of Family Earnings written by Nadeem Ul Haque and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyses of the distribution of earnings are concerned normally with the measurement and explanation of observed inequality in the personal earnings of individuals. Such analyses often seek to analyse the returns to human capital as measured by age and experience while using other individual characteristics as control variables. The paper is divided into six sections. The first section describes features of the data upon which the analysis is based. Section II estimates the rates of return of education in the Becker-Mincer human capital framework and notes the unusually low rates for self-employment. As a consequence of this differential effect of education in the two employment status categories, work status choice is treated as and endogenous variable in the study of earnings behavior in Section III. Section IV considers family earnings variations across work status choice and shows that employed families reveal more widely dispersed earnings than families where the head of household is self-employed. At lower levels of income however, the opposite holds; self-employed family earnings are more dispersed. Section V treats the question of multiple-earner households. Correlations in potential earnings within a household are shown to be larger than correlations in observed earning; the corrected dispersion in the distribution of family earnings would therefore be larger than observed. Section VI examines the relationships among family wealth, family structure, and the probability of finding a secondary earner in a household.

Book excerpt: This study estimates the incidence, characteristics, and patterns of change over time of illiteracy in Morocco. The study compares the results from direct literacy assessment to the conventional methods of self-reported literacy. This effort has provided more detailed, objective information with which patterns of literacy skills in the country may be determined, and their relationship to other important social and economic behaviors and outcomes analyzed. It also examines more closely the reliability and validity of common proxy indicators used to estimate literacy rates and skill levels. Results show that Morocco has been able to halve its literacy rate during the last 30 years; however, large disparities remain between men and women and between urban and rural areas. Implications for methods of measuring literacy and for formulating policy to increase literacy are discussed. (EH)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on economic theory, the authors postulate that a family allocates work -- any work, be it housework, doing the shopping, or earning money outside the home -- on the basis of maximum utility to the family unit. Its ideas on utility are derived from such factors as its income, education, ideology. A carefully crafted research study confirms these ideas on the allocation of work and housework. The impact on the quality of family relationships of such allocations is also considered. 'This book is well written and clearly organized...It is sensitive to the limitations of its methodology and full of suggestive theoretical insights.' -- Choice, October 1983 @3`...an exemplary little volume which should be

Book Synopsis Economic Development, the Family, and Income Distribution by : Simon Kuznets
Download or read book Economic Development, the Family, and Income Distribution written by Simon Kuznets and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-12 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays by Simon Kuznets, winner of the 1971 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, published posthumously. It represents the primary concerns of his research at a late phase of his career, as well as themes from his earlier work. The first four chapters deal with 'modern economic growth'. Chapters five to seven introduce the main theme of the remainder of the volume: interrelations between demographic change and income inequality. Chapters eight to ten draw on a wider set of data to make comparisons of income inequality among societies at widely different levels of development. Chapter eleven returns to data for the United States to develop more fully the importance of differing childbearing patterns for income inequality. In the introduction Professor Richard Easterlin discusses the relationship of the essays to the balance of Kuznets's writings. In the afterword Professor Robert Fogel discusses the methodologies favoured by Kuznets.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Rising Inequalities by : Daniel Cohen
Download or read book The Economics of Rising Inequalities written by Daniel Cohen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-10-24 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an in-depth discussion of rising inequalities in the western world. It explores the extent to which rising inequalities are the mechanical consequence of changes in economic fundamentals (such as changes in technological or demographic parameters), and to what extent they are the contingent consequences of country-specific and time-specific changes in institutions. Both the 'fundamentalist' view and the 'institutionalist' view have some relevance. For instance, the decline of traditional manufacturing employment since the 1970s has been associated in every developed country with a rise of labor-market inequality (the inequality of labor earnings within the working-age population has gone up in all countries), which lends support to the fundamentalist view. But, on the other hand, everybody agrees that institutional differences (minimum wage, collective bargaining, tax and transfer policy, etc.) between Continental European countries and Anglo-Saxon countries explain why disposable income inequality trajectories have been so different in those two groups of countries during the 1980s-90s, which lends support to the institutionalist view. The chapters in this volume show the strength of both views. Through empirical evidence and new theoretical insights the contributors argue that institutions always play a crucial role in shaping inequalities, and sometimes preventing them, but that inequalities across age, sex, and skills often recur. From Sweden to Spain and Portugal, from Italy to Japan and the USA, the volume explores the diversity of the interplay between market forces and institutions.

Download or read book Woman's Worth written by Lisa Leghorn and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981, Woman’s Worth takes up the challenge to the male preserve of economics – which was raised nearly a century ago by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in her classic work Women and Economics. Patriarchal economic systems – socialist as well as capitalist – are founded upon women’s unpaid labour. On this premise, Lisa Leghorn and Katherine Parker base their exploration of the economic basis of women’s culture across cultures: from the USA to South America, the Middle East, socialist countries, Africa and Europe. Women’s Worth is accessible and informative to those who have been intimidated by the term ‘international economics’. Its sources are women’s perspective and experience in many countries, in their words and in their writings, published and unpublished. Thus the authors are able to reveal the economic nature of facets of women’s lives which have hitherto been dismissed by traditional economics as features of family or personal life, and to build a new vision of an economics based in female values.

Book Synopsis Economic Inequality in the United States by : Lars Osberg
Download or read book Economic Inequality in the United States written by Lars Osberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984, this study explores multiple theoretical perspectives as well as critically analysing the most recent evidence at the time to try and find a full explanation for inequality in the United States. Arguments of neoclassical economists and Marxist and institutional structuralists are considered by Osberg as well as putting forward his own model. Osberg uses his findings to attempt a complete explanation of the issue and advises on policies which could be undertaken by the government to try and lessen the gap. This title will be of interest to students of Economics.
