Book Synopsis Perspectives on Regional Unemployment in Europe by : Mr.Paolo Mauro
Download or read book Perspectives on Regional Unemployment in Europe written by Mr.Paolo Mauro and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-05-17 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) was implemented in January 1999 against the specter of persistently high unemployment in many of the participating countries. While the high European unemployment has received considerable attention, this new IMF staff study analyzes an equally important issue: the extent of regional unemployment disparities in certain countries. The paper focuses on large and persistent differences in regional unemployment rates within several European countries. The paper includes detailed case studies of two euro area countries where regional disparities in unemployment are striking- Italy and Spain. The studies emphasize that wages are unresponsive to local labor market conditions.
Book Synopsis What Drives Regional Unemployment Rate Disparities in European Regions? by : Vicente Rios Ibañez
Download or read book What Drives Regional Unemployment Rate Disparities in European Regions? written by Vicente Rios Ibañez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the evolution of the geographical distribution of unemployment rates in a sample of 258 NUTS-2 European regions between 2000 and 2011. In particular, I explore the role played by market equilibrium, disequilibrium and institutional factors shaping regional unemployment disparities. To that end, the present analysis uses recently developed spatial panel econometric techniques that integrate spatial and temporal dynamics. Important methodological issues such as region-speci_x000C_c and time-speci_x000C_c _x000C_xed e_x000B_ects, spatial estimation methods, speci_x000C_cation and the selection of the spatial matrix are addressed. In conjunction with spatio-temporal panel data regression model estimates, stochastic kernels are used to analyze the e_x000B_ect of the various factors in the shape of the whole distribution of unemployment rate. Empirical results suggest that regional unemployment rate di_x000B_erences have decreased and that such regional convergence process has been driven by regional market equilibrium factors.
Book Synopsis Regional unemployment disparities in Germany by : Marcus Kunz
Download or read book Regional unemployment disparities in Germany written by Marcus Kunz and published by wbv Media GmbH & Company KG. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weder empirische Daten noch die ökonomische Theorie geben klare Anhaltspunkte, wie sich regionale Disparitäten entwickeln und welche politischen Maßnahmen angebracht sind, um diese zu reduzieren. Dies gilt insbesondere für Deutschland, wo die Wiedervereinigung zwischen West- und Ostdeutschland im Jahr 1990 die regionalen Arbeitslosigkeitsunterschiede deutlich verstärkt hat. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt Marcus Kunz drei zentrale Fragen: 1. Zeigen Arbeitslosenquoten in den Kreisen und Regionen Deutschlands regionale Konvergenz oder Divergenz? 2. Wie erfolgt die Anpassung von Kreisen und Regionen nach einem regionalen Arbeitsmarktschock? 3. Welche Faktoren sind für die regionalen Arbeitslosigkeitsunterschiede in Westdeutschland verantwortlich? Im Gegensatz zu anderen Studien über regionale Arbeitslosenquoten in Deutschland, die sich ausschließlich auf größere Regionen konzentrieren, zeichnet die Studie von Kunz ein detaillierteres empirisches Bild, da der Fokus auf der Entwicklung der Kreisebene liegt, wo die Unterschiede besonders ausgeprägt sind.

Book Synopsis The Impact of the Institutions on Regional Unemployment Disparities by : Floro E. Caroleo
Download or read book The Impact of the Institutions on Regional Unemployment Disparities written by Floro E. Caroleo and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this paper is to study the European regional disparities in the labour market, considering the regional productive structures and some regional institutional variables. It is widely known that one of the EU's most important stylized facts is the regional disparities among regions. Such differences are related mostly to the income per capita and to the labour market captured through the unemployment rates. In a recent paper (Amendola, Caroleo Coppola, 2004) we analyzed the economic structure of the EU's regions through some proxies of the productive assets and of the labour markets. In this paper we estimate a panel data model where the dependent variable is the regional unemployment rate and the independent variables are some variables related to the productive structure and some regional institutional aspects. The results we obtain confirm that the institutional variables, such as the centralization of wage bargaining, the decentralization of public expenditure and the bureaucracy level, have an important impact on the unemployment rates.
Book Synopsis Unemployment and Social Exclusion by : Sally Hardy
Download or read book Unemployment and Social Exclusion written by Sally Hardy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persistent high employment and growing labour market inequality have become entrenched features of many European countries. This edited collection of papers focuses on the regional and local dimensions of these problems across the European union as a whole and, more particularly, in the UK. In the addressing the contemporary landscape of unemployment, social exclusion and public policy the contributors highlight several key themes, including: How the process of unemployment and social exclusion have an important local level operation. The increasing gender dimension and counts of unemployment to provide effective guides to the true scale of joblessness The need for more local-focused policy interventions to help reduce the problems of unemployment, employment insecurity and low incomes that now characterise many of the advanced countries.
Book Synopsis Regional Disparities in Europe by : Mr. Ravi Balakrishnan
Download or read book Regional Disparities in Europe written by Mr. Ravi Balakrishnan and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the level of disparities across regions in 10 advanced European economies studied in this paper mostly reflects productivity gaps, the increase since the Great Recession has resulted from diverging unemployment rates. Following the pandemic, this could be further exacerbated given teleworkability rates are lower in poorer regions than in high-income regions, making them ex-ante more vulnerable to the pandemic’s likely material impact on the prevalence of remote work. Preliminary evidence from 2020 confirms that regional disparities between countries increased during 2020. A further concern is that the pandemic might accelerate the automation of jobs across Europe, something which often happens following recessions. While lagging regions have lower ex-ante vulnerabilities against the routinization, the transformation of jobs through sectors with higher routinization rates in these regions could increase their vulnerability to technological change over time. The green transition could also lead to challenges for regions that have benefitted from carbon-intensive growth strategies. Finally, the paper discusses the role for policies—including placed-based ones—in reducing disparities in the face of the aforementioned short, medium, and long-term risks.

The topics analysed include: the structure of the shocks affecting employment (regional, industrial, national), the relationships between labour market efficiency and the regional distribution of unemployment, wage flexibility in EU member countries or in their regions and the role of active labour market policies in affecting the regional distribution of employment and unemployment.
Book Synopsis Making a Living in Europe by : Alan Townsend
Download or read book Making a Living in Europe written by Alan Townsend and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will 'making a Living' remain a dream for the deprived and excluded? Jobs are one of Europe's most important problems. Employment provides the basic means of distributing wealth in society, in providing for families, and ensuring pensions for the elderly. Yet unemployment, and increasingly 'non-employment', continues at near record levels in the European Union. Making a Living in Europe shows how the culture of work has been transformed in the industrialised nations of the EU. Exploring the relationship between employment change, society and economic restructuring, the shift toward 'flexible' work for women in services, away from traditional industrial jobs for men, is demonstrated within three key sectors: business services, retailing and tourism. The outcome of change is discussed in terms of shifts of people and jobs from urban to rural areas. Europe must be understood in the context of the new Europe, of change in the USA and of global change. Drawing on examples from UK and European Regions and USA, the author challenges long-standing assumptions about changes in economy and society and highlights the need for stronger local and European policies to reduce inequality at large and contribute positively to local people's struggles to make a living in Europe.
Book Synopsis Institutions and Regional Labour Markets in Europe by : Lambert van der Laan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume examines the performance of labour markets against the background of different economic and institutional settings in Western and Eastern Europe. The book gives a clear picture of the mosaic of impressive transformations presently taking place in Western and Eastern European labour markets and provides access to information which was previously either widely dispersed or non-existent. The book gives detailed information about how countries and regions deal with transformations described. The substantive country-wide and regional diversity that is discussed allows the reader to understand the role of labour and institutions in the development of countries and regions. The book is written by labour market and regional experts from the various countries concerned.
Book Synopsis Regional Labor Market Developments in Transition by : Peter Huber
Download or read book Regional Labor Market Developments in Transition written by Peter Huber and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author analyzes regional labor market disparities in transition by presenting some data and summarizing existing literature. He finds that large and persistent regional labor market disparities developed in virtually all transition countries and that there is some evidence of polarization. Differences in starting conditions and market access seem to be the major reasons for regional divergence in transition. Furthermore, regional wages are only slightly more flexible than in many European Union labor markets, interregional migration is low, and capital seems to move toward high wage and low unemployment urban centers rather than to the most backward regions. Policy should thus take a long-run perspective on the existing regional disparities, focus on removing barriers to mobility, review existing institutions for implementing regional policy, and aim at a close coordination of regional and labor market policy instruments.

Book Synopsis Internal Labor Mobility in Central Europe and the Baltic Region by : Pierella Paci
Download or read book Internal Labor Mobility in Central Europe and the Baltic Region written by Pierella Paci and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large regional disparities in labor market indicators exist in Central Europe and the Baltic region. Such disparities appear to be persistent over time indicating, in part, a lack of flexibility in the prevailing adjustment mechanisms. Internal labor mobility is often seen as an important instrument to reduce adjustment costs when other mechanisms fail. Drawing from a variety of data sources and utilizing a common empirical framework and estimation strategy, this study identifies patterns and statistical profiles of geographical mobility. It finds internal migration to be generalily low and highly concentrated among better-educated, young, and single workers. This suggests that migration is more likely to reinforce existing inequalities than to act as an equalizing phenomenon. By way of contrast, commuting flows have grown over time and are more responsive to regional economic differentials. The findings suggest the need for appropriate and country-tailored policy measures designed to increase the responsiveness of labor flows to market conditions.
Book Synopsis Exploring Inequality in Europe by : Martin Heidenreich
Download or read book Exploring Inequality in Europe written by Martin Heidenreich and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe has become a dominant frame for the generation, regulation and perception of social inequalities. This trend was solidified by the current economic crisis, which is characterized by increasing inequalities between central and peripheral countries and groups. By analysing the double polarization between winners and losers of the crisis, the segmentation of labour markets and the perceived quality of life in Europe, this book contributes to a better understanding of patterns and dynamics of inequality in an integrated Europe.
