Using data from the British Household Panel Survey, we investigate relationships between labour market dynamics, housing tenure and residential mobility. allow study of sequence household moves individual status changes, enabling unique analysis relationship job Our findings suggest that unemployed are more likely to move than employees. A desire motivated by employment reasons has single largest positive impact on probability moving regions.
Abstract We use British panel data to investigate whether or not subjective on desired labour supply provide information future market behaviour. find that, although men and women are able adjust their work hours in line with preferences, this is greatly facilitated through within‐ between‐employer job changes. also that constraints significant determinants of leaving the mobility. conclude rigidities exist these impair welfare employees.
Estimates based on couples with dependent children in the first eight years of British Household Panel Study (1991‐98) indicate that changes a couple's economic circumstances affect probability partnership dissolves. In particular, unexpected improvements finances substantially reduce dissolution risk, which strongly supports importance new information decisions concerning dissolution. Measures own expectations their financial situation over coming year have been used conjunction realised to...
We analysed sickness and disability policies for the working‐age population in a number of OECD countries, between years 1990 2014. Existing evidence suggests that there has been broad shift focus from passive income maintenance to employment incentives reintegration policies. have updated detailed policy scores provided by estimate model‐based country clusters. Our results indicate countries pursued different types reforms consisting combination integration compensation measures. The recent...
We analyse the characteristics of workers who provide work on basis a civil or commercial contract, but are dependent integrated into firm for which they work. argue that these self-employed lose their rights under labour law, receive less favourable benefits from social security protection and often beyond trade union representation collective bargaining. Using data British Labour Force Survey we test two hypotheses: (1) Dependent significantly different both employees (independent)...
University students have been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We present results from first wave of Global Student Survey, which was administered at 28 universities in United States, Spain, Australia, Sweden, Austria, Italy, and Mexico between April October 2020. The survey addresses contemporaneous outcomes future expectations regarding three fundamental aspects students' lives pandemic: labor market, education, health. document differential responses as a function their...
Using linked employer‐employee data from the British 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey, we find a positive correlation between workplace union recognition and private‐sector employer‐provided training. We explore avenues through which might affect training by interacting with closed shop, level at pay bargaining takes place, multiunionism. For non‐manual‐labor men women, only matters. The various types of collective‐bargaining institutions have no separate effect. However, male manual...
Abstract We project the labor force in United States to 2060 and contrast outcomes with comparative projections for Germany. In both countries, population will age, but demographic dynamics are fundamentally different. According our dynamic microsimulations, U.S. increase by 17 percent between 2020 (about 29 million workers) despite aging. contrast, Germany decline 11 4.5 workers). Our baseline indicate that an expansion of education about 3 persons half a 2060. several what-if scenarios, we...
In Austria, a gender pay transparency law was introduced in 2011, requiring companies with more than 1,000 employees to publish report every other year. Firms 500, 250, and 150 were subject this requirement at later years. We estimate the impact of on men's wages, women's gap using administrative data. The results from regression discontinuity design suggest that wage did not change wages or gap. larger firms, newly hired women increased due reform men, suggesting decreased among workers....
We describe the dynamics of second job holding in Britain during 1990s using panel data from British Household Panel Survey. Our results show that is surprisingly persistent over time - about 10% workers have a at any point while two thirds holders remain jobs for least consecutive years. find negative financial shocks trigger holding, and are not measure to smooth labour supply time. Heterogeneous main characteristics more important than hours constraints determining holding.
We examine persistence in work hour constraints using subjective data from the British Household Panel Survey, and investigate role of job employer changes alleviating these constraints. Evidence suggests that 40 per cent employees prefer to a different number hours at their current wage, majority fewer hours. Our estimates also indicate that, although persist over time, alleviate over–employment particularly among men. Work time preferences are determined by observed related...
We examine the relation between low-skilled and high-skilled immigration public spending from a theoretical an empirical perspective. introduce distinction of on private goods goods. Our model implies that can have negative effect only in presence anti-social effect. test our hypotheses, 'income effect' 'anti-social immigration, 'welfare magnet empirically using OECD panel data for 1990-2001. Estimating system simultaneous equations three stage least squares (3SLS), we find evidence...
