  • job reallocation Employment Change and average job tenure theory and workplace evidence from australia
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 2004
    Co-Authors: Karen Mumford, Peter N Smith
    Abstract:

    We explore determinants of job reallocation, Employment Change and average job tenure in this paper. A model which associates technological advances with the process of economic growth is modified and analysed. The features of this model allow for the possibility of asymmetric behaviour when looking at the net Change in Employment. Workplace data from Australia ([Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey 1995] AWIRS95) are used to test the predictions generated from the model for both Employment Change and average job tenure. Results are presented that provide clear evidence as to the nature of workplaces in which net Employment growth is concentrated. We find that Employment growth is asymmetrically related to expected Changes in demand for the output of the workplace. We also find that Employment is lower for workplaces that are larger, older, have greater union density, offer higher relative earnings, or are operating in a more competitive environment. The impacts on average tenure are as expected from the model and from these Changes in Employment. Overall there is a substantial degree of agreement between the predictions of the model and our empirical results.

  • Employment Change in occupations in urban india implications for wage inequality
    Development and Change, 2019
    Co-Authors: Sudipa Sarkar
    Abstract:

    This article analyses Employment and wage Change patterns in India for a period spanning almost three decades, from 1983–84 to 2011–12. Using data from the National Sample Survey Organization, the study finds evidence of job polarization (Employment growth in low‐ and high‐skill jobs and decline in middle‐skill jobs) in urban India during the 1990s and 2000s, and Employment upgrading in the 1980s. Consistent with the literature on job polarization, the article finds a reduction in Employment share in routine task intensive occupations. The author argues that this reduction is a result of both mechanization and technological upgrading within Indian industry. On the other hand, an increase in Employment share in both low‐skill and high‐skill occupations is argued to be a result of growing self‐Employment and informal sector Employment in urban India. The wage Change patterns are largely consistent with the Employment Change patterns. The analysis suggests that structural Change in occupation is an important factor for understanding earnings inequality in India.

  • Employment Change in occupations in urban india implications for wage inequality
    Social Science Research Network, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sudipa Sarkar
    Abstract:

    This paper analyses Employment and wage Change patterns in India for a period spanning almost three decades, 1983 to 2011. Using data from National Sample Survey Organisation, this study finds evidence of job polarization and wage polarization in urban India particularly strong during the 1990s and somewhat moderate during the 2000s. Our analysis shows a sharp increase in Employment and wages in high-skill jobs involving non-routine cognitive tasks, throughout the periods. This expansion in Employment has happened at the cost of reduction in middle-skill jobs involving routine tasks. We find that while decline in routine manual Employment started in the 1980s, routine cognitive task intensive occupations like clerical, office assistants, and sales started shrinking their share of Employment in the 1990s. We argue that the reduction in Employment share in routine manual occupations is a result of mechanisation in agriculture and manufacturing sector while the decline in routine cognitive Employment share is more of a result of technological upgradation in the Indian industry.

  • roepke lecture in economic geography the lives of others body work the production of difference and labor geographies
    Economic Geography, 2015
    Co-Authors: Linda Mcdowell
    Abstract:

    abstractIn this article I address one of the key aspects of feminist arguments about the economy—that is claims about domestic and caring labor and its necessity for capitalism. I address who undertakes caring labor, in what social relations, and in which spaces in Western economies, where deindustrialization and the rise of service-dominated Employment have been associated with a transformation in the nature of work and the composition of the workforce. I review the ways in which this contemporary economic and Employment Change has been theorized by economic sociologists and economic geographers, in particular by labor geographers—that part of the discipline to which I feel the greatest connection—suggesting that Changes in what is often termed reproductive labor have been relatively neglected at the expense of a focus on immaterial, high-status Employment in knowledge-based economies. Through a historical example, I then illustrate the production of difference between women workers in caring jobs in the...

  • father and ford revisited gender class and Employment Change in the new millennium
    Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 2001
    Co-Authors: Linda Mcdowell
    Abstract:

    In the last decade in Britain the combination of women’s continued entry into the labour market and the restructuring of welfare provision has exacerbated the growing demands on individuals and households in their allocation of time between productive and reproductive labour and the contradictions between the two spheres, as well as time and income inequalities between the rich and the poor. Since the election of the new Labour government in 1997, the concept of work/life balance, as well as a range of other policies to address these divisions have been introduced. This paper addresses the nature of the Changes in the last decade, through the perspective of gender and class divisions and critically assesses key debates about the changing nature of working life as well as current policy provisions to support the increasing individualization of Employment.

  • Employment creation in north carolina 1990 2006 an exploration using north carolina national establishment time series nets
    Social Science Research Network, 2008
    Co-Authors: Stephen J Appold
    Abstract:

    North Carolina’s economy has been particularly dynamic over the last several decades. The state produces a growing proportion of the nation’s output in goods and services. Population and Employment have been expanding at above average rates. At the same time, the state has been the site of substantial economic dislocation and a restructuring away from the manufacturing which had been a source of Employment growth just a few years ago towards services, health care and business services, in particular. The sectoral shift has been paired with a geographic shift, further towards the already dominant Central Piedmont. This report is an initial attempt to examine that process of economic growth and restructuring using an “economic microscope” that can measure the components of Employment Change – openings, closures, expansions, contractions, and relocations – and link them to individual establishments so that the incidence of each can be linked to characteristics such as detailed sector, ownership characteristics, size, age, and location. Individual establishments can also be traced over time allowing differences in unobserved characteristics, such as growth propensity, to be measured. The data used are an extract of the National Establishment times Series (NETS) database. These have been compiled from Dun and Bradstreet records, linked longitudinally and to their headquarters (if any), and supplemented with geo-codes, imputations, and data quality indicators. This report is descriptive. Subsequent reports will focus on specific analytic issues.
