minimum wages labor market institutions and Youth Employment a cross national analysis
Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 2004Co-Authors: David Neumark, William WascherAbstract:The authors estimate the Employment effects of changes in national minimum wages using a pooled cross-section time-series data set comprising 17 OECD countries for the period 1975–2000. The average effects they find are consistent with the view that minimum wages cause Employment losses among Youths. However, the evidence also shows considerable variation across countries. In particular, disEmployment effects of minimum wages appear to be smaller in countries that have subminimum wage provisions for Youths. Regarding other labor market policies and institutions, the authors find that more restrictive labor standards and higher union coverage strengthen the disEmployment effects of minimum wages, while Employment protection laws and active labor market policies designed to bring unemployed individuals into the work force help to offset these effects. Overall, the disEmployment effects of minimum wages are strongest in the countries with the least regulated labor markets.

minimum wages labor market institutions and Youth Employment a cross national analysis
Social Science Research Network, 2003Co-Authors: David Neumark, William WascherAbstract:We estimate the Employment effects of changes in national minimum wages using a pooled cross-section time-series data set comprising 17 OECD countries for the period 1975-2000, focusing on the impactof cross-country differences in minimum wage systems and in otherlabor market institutions and policies that may either offset or amplify the effects of minimum wages. The average minimum wage effects we estimate using this sample are consistent with the view that minimum wages cause Employment losses among Youths. However, the evidence also suggests that the Employment effects of minimum wages vary considerably across countries. In particular, disEmployment effects of minimum wages appear to be smaller in countries that have subminimum wage provisions for Youths. Regarding other labor market policies and institutions, we find that more restrictive labor standards and higher union coverage strengthen the disEmployment effects of minimum wages, while Employment protection laws and active labor market policies designed to bring unemployed individuals into the work force help to offset these effects. Overall, the disEmployment effects of minimum wages are strongest in the countries with the least regulated labor markets.

diverging pathways young female Employment and entrepreneurship in sub saharan africa
The Geographical Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Thilde Langevang, Katherine V GoughAbstract:Shrinking public sectors and limited opportunities for gaining formal wage Employment in the private sector have resulted in entrepreneurship being promoted as a means of generating Youth Employment. This discourse is being widely promoted within sub-Saharan Africa despite little being known about how best to support Youth Employment and entrepreneurship. This paper focuses on two of the main trades which young women in sub-Saharan Africa have typically entered: hairdressing and dressmaking. Through drawing on a qualitative case study of hairdressers and seamstresses in Ghana, it is shown how the two professions have fared quite differently in recent years: whereas hairdressing has boomed, dressmaking has been stagnating. The paper shows how these diverging trajectories can be attributed to three related factors. First, globalisation has affected the two trades differently; second, their respective trade associations have reacted differently to the new constraints and opportunities generated by globalisation and their training systems have undergone different degrees of professionalisation; and third, the prestige associated with the two professions has changed affecting the aspirations of young women to enter the professions and the experiences of those that do. As the paper shows, geographers potentially have much to contribute to Employment and entrepreneurship debates by providing more contextualised studies which recognise the complex interplay between globalisation, institutions and individuals in particular places and acknowledge the ensuing diverse Employment experiences. Such studies are highly relevant for policymakers who are facing the difficult challenge of how to create Employment and stimulate entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa.

deteriorating economic context and changing patterns of Youth Employment in urban burkina faso 1980 2000
World Development, 2004Co-Authors: Anneemmanuele Calves, Bruno SchoumakerAbstract:Based on unique retrospective survey data collected in Burkina Faso in 2000, this article examines the changes that urban Youth Employment has undergone over the last 20 years and the impact of the changing socioeconomic context on young people's access to labor market, with particular reference to educated Youth and young women. Analysis based on Employment histories shows increasing unEmployment and informalization of Youth Employment in urban Burkina Faso. The study also provides strong evidence of a rupture between education and modern sector Employment among young men, and the increased instability of Employment among young women.
