Labour Market Integration in a pre industrial economy catalonia 1772 1816
Oxford Economic Papers, 2007Co-Authors: Natalia MorasitjaAbstract:This paper examines Labour’s reward and Labour Market Integration in Catalonia before the first Industrial Revolution. Using new quantitative evidence on urban wages, it addresses two main issues. First, what was the performance of agricultural and urban wages during the last five decades of the so-called pre-industrial period, and what consequences did wage evolution have for Labourers? Second, did wage responses reflect a situation of Labour Market Integration? The findings here support the idea that Labour Markets worked before the advent of the Industrial Revolution, and find resonance with wider arguments on the overall development of Catalonia.

coping with long term unemployment economic security Labour Market Integration and well being results from a danish panel study 1994 1999
International Journal of Social Welfare, 2002Co-Authors: Jorgen Goul AndersenAbstract:On the basis of a Danish panel study of the long–term unemployed 1994–1999, the article challenges core premises underlying Labour Market reforms, assigning too high a priority to work and work incentives, and too little priority to social protection. Economic hardship has become widespread among long–term unemployed even in Denmark, and this is a more serious threat against well–being than unemployment as such. Generous social security, denounced as ‘passive support’, enables the unemployed to cope with their situation, and there are no signs of any ‘dependency culture’. Incentives in terms of economic hardship may stimulate active job seeking but the panel study reveals that it has no positive effect on subsequent Labour Market Integration.

Coping with long–term unemployment: economic security, Labour Market Integration and well–being. Results from a Danish panel study, 1994–1999

new immigrants old disadvantage patterns Labour Market Integration of recent immigrants into germany
International Migration, 2011Co-Authors: Irena KoganAbstract:This paper examines the Labour Market Integration of immigrants who have entered Germany since 1990, and compares their situation with that of their predecessors. The analyses based on the cumulative micro-census data reveal that recent immigrants into Germany are on average bettereducated than their earlier counterparts, and some ethnic groups are even better- educated than the national average. Despite their high levels of formal education, these immigrants coming mostly from Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East face severe Integration problems in the German Labour Market. Thus, after taking into account the value of human capital represented by these immigrants, their ethnic disadvantages appear to increase. This stands in sharp contrast with the disadvantages faced by classic immigrants who arrived in Germany during the 1960s and 1970s, for whom lack of human capital had been identified as the main obstacle to Labour Market Integration.

next year in jerusalem or in cologne Labour Market Integration of jewish immigrants from the former soviet union in israel and germany in the 1990s
European Sociological Review, 2006Co-Authors: Yinon Cohen, Irena KoganAbstract:This article focuses on how receiving societies’ structural and institutional characteristics affect immigrants’ Labour Market performance and progress. Using German census data for 1996 and 2000, and Israeli Labour force surveys for the same years, the article compares patterns of self-selection and Labour Market Integration of Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in Israel and Germany during the 1990s. The greater rigidity of the German Labour Market as compared with the Israeli, combined with the more generous benefits provided to FSU immigrants by the German than the Israeli state, explain many of the cross-national differences in initial Labour Market performance (unemployment level and occupational status) and Labour Market progress of FSU immigrants in Israel and Germany. However, contrary to economic theories of immigrant selectivity, we found no appreciable differences in patterns of educational self-selection of immigrants to Israel and Germany.

Labour Market Integration of unemployed youth from a life course perspective the case of norway
International Journal of Social Welfare, 2007Co-Authors: Torild HammerAbstract:The aim of this article is to analyse the Labour Market Integration of previously unemployed youth in a life course perspective. ‘Work, Lifestyle and Health’ is a longitudinal panel survey following a sample of nearly 2,000 individuals who are representative of the Norwegian cohorts born between 1965 and 1968. The survey was first conducted in 1985 with follow-ups in 1987, 1989, 1993 and again in 2003. Unemployment among young people does not necessarily lead to marginalisation and social exclusion. Long-term effects will be dependent upon how the youths cope with unemployment, the duration of the unemployment period, their mental health status and educational qualifications. Many young unemployed people are not entitled to unemployment benefits because they lack work experience. Consequently, they are dependent on support from their family and/or social assistance. However, there is still much to learn about the long-term consequences of youth unemployment, e.g. whether or not the youths have received social assistance and what are the long-term consequences for their future Labour Market career and Labour Market Integration.

Labour Market Integration of unemployed youth from a life course perspective
2004Co-Authors: Torild HammerAbstract:The aim of this paper is to analyse the Labour Market Integration of previously unemployed youth in a life course perspective. The research questions will be investigated by using a unique combination of survey and register data from the Work, Lifestyle and Health survey. This survey is a longitudinal panel survey following a sample of nearly 2000 individuals, representative for the Norwegian cohorts born 1965-1968. The survey was introduced in 1985 with follow ups in 1987, 1989, 1993 and again in 2003. The time window thus allowed by the survey spans from 1985-2003 giving us the possibility to view individual life trajectories from the age of 17-20 to 35-39. The official records will allow us to track individual careers of social assistance recipiency in detail, as well as the use of other social security benefits like unemployment benefits, benefits for the sick and disabled, and transitional benefits in regard to frequency, duration and the amount of benefits received. In addition we will have access to individual paths of educational and employment careers (as well as prior criminal conviction). When connected to data from the panel survey this will be a unique source of information for the understanding of different transitions in youth and young adulthood, the transition from school to work or unemployment, and the transitions from unemployment to employment. The aim of the paper is to study determinants of the Labour Market career of young people in such a life course perspective.
