the Employment effects of the national minimum wage
The Economic Journal, 2004Co-Authors: Mark B StewartAbstract:This paper estimates the Employment effects of the introduction of the UK National Minimum Wage in April 1999 and subsequent upratings in 2000 and 2001. It uses a difference-in-differences estimator based on position in the wage distribution. For the upratings an adjusted estimator is also introduced to allow for the possible differential response to the change in the macro Employment Trend. No significant adverse Employment effects are found for any of these events for any of the estimators for any demographic group.

labour demand in germany by industrial sector occupational field and qualification until 2025 model calculations using the iab inforge model
Economic Systems Research, 2015Co-Authors: Tobias Maier, Anke Monnig, Gerd ZikaAbstract:By means of a Trend extrapolation of microcensus structures (undertaken by the German Federal Statistical Office) for the time period 1996-2007, the projections for labour demand by industrial sector which the IAB already has at its disposal can be transferred to demand by occupational field and subsequently by qualification level until 2025. The findings which have been claimed for some time now are upheld: production-related occupations will lose in significance, while further increases in Employment particularly in occupations in the service sector are to be expected. Accordingly, the demand for personnel with a degree from a university or a university of applied sciences will go on rising, while the labour market opportunities for unskilled workers will continue to fall. However, vocational training or its academic counterparts still remain the dominant form of training in Germany. A continuing Employment Trend is to be expected here.

Government Wage Policy, Wage Determination, and the Development Process: A Case Study of Tanzania
2026Co-Authors: Valentine, Theodore RudolphAbstract:340 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1982.This is a study of the role of government wage policy (GWP) in economic development and labor market behavior with special reference to Tanzania. GWP includes not only direct action on wages, but legal and institutional changes which indirectly affect labor market processes and industrial relations.After introduction (Chapter I), issues related to low-wage and high-wage approaches to economic development are discussed in detail in Chapter II. These two approaches are not mutually exclusive under all circumstances. Rather, the usefulness of each depends upon the nature of constraints on development that a country desires to remove. Chapter III examines GWP, wage and Employment Trends, and labor supplies in colonial Tanzania (1949-61). Explanations are offered on why the colonial government abandoned its traditional 'cheap labor' policy and how the change in wage policy increased real wages in the late 1950s. Fluctuations in wage Employment are also examined.Chapter IV is an analysis of GWP, wage and Employment Trends, and economic conditions in post-independence for three subperiods: 1961-67, 1967-72, and 1972-76. GWP changed from period to period. It is concluded that: the high-wage policy in 1961-67 was not responsible for the slow growth of wage Employment during the same period; a more favorable Employment Trend after 1967 was not due to the shift to a different, low-wage policy; and GWP had little to do with the price instability in 1972-76 despite allegations of a wage-price spiral during this period. Chapter V describes the role of the government in shaping Tanzania's industrial-relations system. The government has undertaken extensive legal and institutional changes. As a result, the government has become dominant and the labor movement subservient in matters that affect labor's security and welfare in the workplace.A comparative analysis of Trends in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in Chapter VI refutes the proposition, popular among economists, that rapid increases in real wages retard economic development. Contrary to a general 'imperative of wage restraint' stressed by many economists, this thesis argues that the merits of GWP in any country should be evaluated in close touch with the country's specific objectives and concrete realities.Many misconceptions born of conventional economic analysis on the role of wages in economic development and Employment expansion are exposed and expunged.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD

effects of economic globalisation on Employment Trend and wages in developing countries lessons from nigeria experiences
Miscellaneous Papers, 2007Co-Authors: Obayelu Abiodun ElijahAbstract:Since 1986, Nigeria has gradually been integrating with the global economy. This paper examines the effect of globalization on Employment and wages in Nigeria. The effects of globalization have been difficult to isolate and evaluate theoretically and empirically due to it multi-faceted nature, but this study attempt to analyse the effects on Employment and employeesâ wages by looking at what happened before, during and after globalization in Nigeria. Information and data were mainly gathered through secondary sources, The results of the analysis shows that globalisation of the Nigeria economy through various economic reforms, deregulation and privatisation has led to downsizing of Employment in civil service thereby compounding the widespread job queuing in Nigeria. The collapse of some of the private sector firms has also led to retrenchment of workers following stiff competition from import after libralisation thereby increasing both rural and urban unEmployment in Nigeria. Also revealed is the problem of increase in income inequality in the country. There appeared to be a wide gap between earnings of the skilled and unskilled workers in the country. Many less skilled workers and experienced worker have also lost their jobs as a result of globalisation. On the positive side, globalisation has led to high Employment creation in the informal sector compared with the job lost in the formal sector due to the increasing number of private firms. Most of the jobs created in informal sectors are insecure despite there higher pay compared to wages in the formal sector. There is the need for training and re-training of employee in order to assist them in maintaining their jobs
