recent trends in employer sponsored health insurance coverage are bad jobs getting worse
Journal of Health Economics, 2000Co-Authors: Henry S Farber, Helen LevyAbstract:We examine whether the decline in the availability of employer-provided health insurance is a phenomenon common to all jobs or is concentrated only on certain jobs. We find that declines in own-employer insurance coverage over the 1988-1997 period are driven primarily by declines in take-up for long-term full-time Workers and declines in eligibility for new and part-time Workers. We also look at trends by Workers' Education level, and see how much of the decline in is offset by an increase in coverage through a spouse's policy.

recent trends in employer sponsored health insurance coverage are bad jobs getting worse
Social Science Research Network, 1998Co-Authors: Henry S Farber, Helen LevyAbstract:We examine whether the decline in the availability of employer-provided health insurance is a phenomenon common to all jobs or is concentrated only on certain jobs. In particular, we investigate the extent to which employers have continued to provide health insurance on what we term reducing the availability of health insurance on jobs. We consider two dimensions on which jobs may be considered peripheral: if they are new (tenure less than one year) or part-time. We consider three outcomes whose product is the health insurance coverage rate: 1) the fraction of Workers who are in firms that offer health insurance to at least some Workers (the offer rate); 2) the fraction of Workers who are eligible for health insurance, conditional on being in a firm where it is offered (the eligibility rate); and 3) the fraction of Workers who enroll in health insurance when they are eligible for it (the takeup rate). We find that declines in own-employer insurance coverage over the 1988-1997 period are driven primarily by declines in takeup for core Workers and declines in eligibility for peripheral Workers. We also look at trends by Workers' Education level and see how much of the decline is offset by an increase in coverage through a spouse's policy. Our findings are consistent with the view that employers are continuing to make health insurance available to their core long-term employees but are restricting access to health insurance by their peripheral short-term and pa

Workers Education spillovers and productivity evidence from plant level production functions

Workers Education spillovers and productivity evidence from plant level production functions
The American Economic Review, 2004Co-Authors: Enrico MorettiAbstract:I assess the magnitude of human capital spillovers by estimating production functions using a unique firm-worker matched data set. Productivity of plants in cities that experience large increases in the share of college graduates rises more than the productivity of similar plants in cities that experience small increases in the share of college graduates. These productivity gains are offset by increased labor costs. Using three alternative measures of economic distance-input-output flows, technological specialization, and patent citations-I find that within a city, spillovers between industries that are economically close are larger than spillovers between industries that are economically distant.

Fannia Mary Cohn and the movement for Workers’ Education in the United States
ENS Éditions, 2021Co-Authors: Tamboukou M.Abstract:Cet article propose une généalogie du mouvement d’éducation des ouvrières aux États-Unis. Il s’appuie sur les écrits personnels et politiques de Fannia Mary Cohn (1885-1962), militante syndicale de l’industrie du textile à New York dans la première moitié du XXe siècle. Trois thèmes y sont développés et discutés : les défis méthodologiques de la recherche généalogique basée sur les archives et les documents autobiographiques ; l’impact de ce que j’appelle « le capital migratoire » sur le développement de l’éducation des ouvrières aux États-Unis ; et l’intrication de l’esthétique et du politique dans le mouvement d’éducation ouvrière. Je soutiens qu’une approche narrative des archives autobiographiques du mouvement d’éducation ouvrière jette un nouvel éclairage sur la compréhension de son développement et de ses orientations, soulignant en particulier l’implication des femmes et leur contribution à la vie intellectuelle des classes populaires dans la première moitié du XXe siècle.This article proposes a genealogy of the movement for women Workers’ Education in the United States. It draws on the personal and political writings of Fannia Mary Cohn (1885-1962), a trade union activist in the New York garment industry in the first half of the twentieth century. Three themes are developed and discussed: methodological challenges in doing genealogical research with autobiographical research in archives; the impact of what I call ‘migration capital’ in the development of women Workers’ Education in the United States and entanglement of aesthetics and politics in the movement for women Workers’ Education. What I suggest is that a narrative approach to autobiographical documents around women Workers’ Education throws new light in the understanding of its development and orientations, particularly highlighting women Workers’ involvement and contribution in Workers’ intellectual lives in the first part of the twentieth century

Challenging the Bifurcation of Nature: Women Workers’ Education through Process Philosophy
'Informa UK Limited', 2020Co-Authors: Tamboukou M.Abstract:The bifurcation of nature taken as a gap between the scientific conception and the subjective experience of the world, is according to Alfred North Whitehead one of the major epistemic fallacies of modernity. In this paper I draw on insights from Whitehead’s process philosophy to map some analytical trails that I have followed in my work on the archives of women Workers’ Education. There are three themes that have emerged from this archival research decisively challenging the bifurcation of nature: the power of associations, the coexistence of permanence and flux and amor mundi, love for the world. In this light women Workers’ Education emerges as an assemblage of feelings, cognitive understandings, imaginative enactments and creative forces, wherein nature and culture are inextricably entangled

A case of azoospermia in a non-destructive testing worker exposed to radiation
BMC, 2017Co-Authors: Jaechan Park, Sanggil Lee, Chulyong Park, Huisu EomAbstract:Abstract Background Interest in radiation-related health problems has been growing with the increase in the number of Workers in radiation-related jobs. Although an occupational level of radiation exposure would not likely cause azoospermia, several studies have reported the relation between radiation exposure and azoospermia after accidental or therapeutic radiation exposure. We describe a case of azoospermia in a non-destructive testing (NDT) worker exposed to radiation and discuss the problems of the related monitoring system. Case presentation A 39-year-old man who was childless after 8 years of marriage was diagnosed with azoospermia through medical evaluations, including testicular biopsy. He did not have any abnormal findings on biochemical evaluations, other risk factors, or evidence of congenital azoospermia. He had been working in an NDT facility from 2005 to 2013, attaching and arranging gamma-ray films on the structures and inner spaces of ships. The patient’s thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badge recorded an exposure level of 0.01781 Gy for 80 months, whereas results of his florescence in situ hybridization (FISH) translocation assay showed an exposure level of up to 1.926 Gy of cumulative radiation, which was sufficient to cause azoospermia. Thus, we concluded that his azoospermia was caused by occupational radiation exposure. Conclusion The difference between the exposure dose records measured through TLD badge and the actual exposure dose implies that the monitor used by the NDT worker did not work properly, and such a difference could threaten the health and safety of Workers. Thus, to protect the safety and health of NDT Workers, Education of Workers and strengthening of law enforcement are required to ensure that regulations are strictly followed, and if necessary, random sampling of NDT Workers using a cytogenetic dosimeter, such as FISH, should be considered
