Book Synopsis Reducing Urban Unemployment by : William H. McCarthy
Download or read book Reducing Urban Unemployment written by William H. McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet considers the problems of urban unemployment and presents 21 case studies of urban areas dealing with the problem. The first chapter defines urban unemployment and classifies barriers to employment, trends in unemployment, and types of unemployed persons. Chapter 2 describes some general principles necessary to successfully combat the problem on the local level. There are two major considerations which make a program successful: (1) differentiating the groups needing help, i.e., disadvantaged youth, hard to employ adults, and dislocated workers; and within these groups identifying the problem specific to where they live and work; and (2) specifically tailoring the programs to meet the needs identified above. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 present the case studies, subdivided according to the particular group served (disadvantaged youth, hard to employ adults, dislocated workers). Each case study is presented in a summarized form and a contact person is listed at the end of each. The sources of initiative for the variety of programs surveyed include local elected officials (responsible for nine of the 21), private industry (responsible for six), community based organizations (responsible for five), and foundations (responsible for one).

Book Synopsis Neighborhood Jobs, Race, and Skills by : Daniel Immergluck
Download or read book Neighborhood Jobs, Race, and Skills written by Daniel Immergluck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1998, Neighbourhood Jobs, Race, and Skills argues that race is a powerful and persistent barrier to employment. Analysing existing literature, this book outlines how racial discrimination in hiring against African Americans appears to remain a contributor to high unemployment rates in black neighbourhoods. The book also discusses how issues such as poor schools and physical and social isolation compound employment problems, as well as changes in policy on skill requirements and the location of jobs. The book argues that combined, this is a major contributor to concentrated urban employment and poverty.

Book Synopsis Rural/Urban Migration and Unemployment by : Yves Zenou
Download or read book Rural/Urban Migration and Unemployment written by Yves Zenou and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a regional model where, in the city, unemployment prevails because of too high (efficiency) wages, while, in the rural area, workers are paid at their marginal productivity. We characterize the steady-state equilibrium and show that it is unique. We then consider two policies: decreasing urban unemployment benefits and subsidizing urban employment. We find that decreasing the unemployment benefit in the city creates urban jobs and reduces rural/urban migration since new migrants have to spend some time unemployed before they can find a job in the city. On the other hand, raising employment subsidies increases urban employment but may also increase urban unemployment because it triggers more rural/urban migration. In this respect, the employment subsidy policy can backfire by raising rather than reducing urban unemployment.
Book Synopsis Urban Unemployment, Agglomeration and Transportation Policies by : Yves Zenou
Download or read book Urban Unemployment, Agglomeration and Transportation Policies written by Yves Zenou and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the role of unemployment in the context of the endogeneous formation of a monocentric city in which firms set efficiency wages to deter shirking. We first show that, in equilibrium, the employed locate at the vicinity of the city-center, the unemployed reside at the city-edge and firms set up in the city-center. We then show that there is a "spatial mismatch" between location and jobs because the further away from jobs the unemployed, the larger the level of unemployment. Finally, we derive some policy implications. We show that a policy that improves the city transportation network (by subsidizing the commuting costs of all workers) reduces urban unemployment, increases utilities of all workers but raises inequality, whereas a policy that supports the transportation of the unemployed only (by subsidizing their commuting costs) increases urban unemployment, does not always raise workers' utilities but reduces inequality. commuting costs.
Book Synopsis Urban Illusions by : Michael Bernick
Download or read book Urban Illusions written by Michael Bernick and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1987-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Illusions is the best first-hand account I know of the struggle to solve the employment problem in American cities. Mike Bernick combines a knowledge of the issues as seen from Washington with actual experience leading anti-poverty programs at the local level, a rare combination. He writes extremely well, and he makes shrewd suggestions for where employment policy should go from here. Anybody interested in American social policy will find this book invaluable. Lawrence M. Mead, Author of Beyond Entitlement Urban Illusions goes beyond description of inner city unemployment to consider efforts to reduce the problem. It directly examines the successes and failures that have resulted from past attempts to reduce employment. Although the volume includes data on poverty and government anti-poverty programs, it is written from the perspective of one working on a local, grass-roots level: author Michael Bernick is the founder and executive Director of this outstanding inner city employment program.

Book Synopsis The Optimal Environmental Tax and Urban Unemployment in an Open Economy by : Ichiroh Daitoh
Download or read book The Optimal Environmental Tax and Urban Unemployment in an Open Economy written by Ichiroh Daitoh and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates how a rise in the urban pollution tax rate may affect urban unemployment and welfare in a small open HarrisTodaro (HT) model with intersectoral capital mobility. First, by formulating urban pollution as a dirty input in manufacturing, we find that an increase in the urban pollution tax rate can increase the level of urban unemployment even with intersectoral capital mobility. That is, the optimistic finding by Rapanos (2007) that environmental protection policy reduces urban unemployment in the long run does not always hold. Second, the (sub)optimal pollution tax rate under urban unemployment is higher than the Pigouvian tax rate (the marginal damage of pollution). This result opposes those of Beladi and Chao (2006) for a closed HT economy and that of Tsakiris et al. (2008) for an open HT economy with sector-specific capital.
Book Synopsis Essentials of Advanced Macroeconomic Theory by : Ola Olsson
Download or read book Essentials of Advanced Macroeconomic Theory written by Ola Olsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trying to summarize the essentials of macroeconomic theory in the wake of the financial crisis that has shaken not only Western economies but also the macroeconomic profession is no easy task. In particular, the notion that markets are self-correcting and always in equilibrium appears to have taken a heavy blow. However, the jury is still out on which areas should be considered as failures and what which constitute the future of research. The overall aim of this text is to provide a compact overview of the contributions that are currently regarded as the most important for macroeconomic analysis and to equip the reader with the essential theoretical knowledge that all advanced students in macroeconomics should be acquainted with. The result is a compact text that should act as the perfect complement to further study of macroeconomics: an introduction to the key concepts discussed in the journal literature and suitable for students from upper undergraduate level through to PhD courses.
Book Synopsis Impact of Trade Reform on Urban Unemployment - a Theoretical Analysis by : Titas Kumar Bandopadhyay

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The present paper explains the different effects of trade reform on urban unemployment in a mobile capital model where urban formal wage is endogeneous and urban informal sector is globally connected. The main finding is that import-led reform raises urban unemployment, whereas export-led reform reduces urban unemployment. Thus, the nature of trade reform plays important role to determine the effect of trade reform on urban unemployment.
