Abstract

After three decades of economic reform, China is experiencing substantial demographic changes and a steady structural transformation toward a market economy. These phenomena pose major challenges for the Chinese labor market, which are at the center of the booming academic and policy research in recent years. This volume presents fresh knowledge on labor market issues in China. It contains eight original research articles which offer insights and answers to question such as: Which are the most important challenges of the Chinese labor market? How does rural-urban migration affect occupational choice in rural China? Does urban occupational mobility differ across gender? Which is the cost of job displacement in urban labor markets? Is over-qualification affecting the hiring probability across educational groups? How does the social insurance system perform in terms of coverage of urban workers? Which are the incentive problems in the new rural pension program?

Abstract

Moderne arbeitsteilige Gesellschaften besitzen eine komplexe Vernetzung von ökonomischen Regeln, politischer Macht und gesellschaftlichen Normen. Die wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit eines Landes hängt neben physischem Kapital und Humankapital in hohem Maße von sozialen Netzwerkstrukturen und kommunikativen Austauschprozessen ab. Die Sozialkapitaltheorie bietet hierzu Konzepte an, soziale Beziehungen als Determinante in die Wirtschaftstheorie einzubinden. Die Untersuchung berücksichtigt neben der sozialen Vernetzung ebenso das Aufkommen des netzwerkökonomischen Paradigmas. Mit den Themenfeldern Sozialkapital und Netzwerkökonomik verbindet der Autor zwei junge und hochaktuelle wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Bereiche und deren ökonomische Auswirkungen. Daraus lassen sich konkrete politische Handlungsanweisungen ableiten.

Abstract

"[The Migration Law and Policy conferemce at the ANU College of Law] brought together academics and practitioners from a diverse range of disciplines and practice. The book is based on a selection of the papers and presentations given during that conference. Each explores the unexpected, unwanted and sometimes tragic outcomes of migration law and policy, identifying ambiguities, uncertainties, and omissions affecting both temporary and permanent migrants. Together, the papers present a myriad of perspectives, providing a sense of urgency that focuses on the immediate and political consequences of an Australian migration milieu created without due consideration and exposing the daily reality under the migration program for individuals and for society as a whole."--

Abstract

Wages are the main determinant of living standards for the vast majority of workers and families around the world. This manual describes a new methodology to measure what constitutes a decent but basic standard of living and how much workers need to earn to afford this, making it possible for researchers to estimate comparable living wages around the world and determine gaps between living wages and prevailing wages. The new, practical methodology in this manual draws on 10 years of research and experience to clearly explain each step in the estimation process, based on standards for a low-cost nutritious diet, healthy housing, and all other needs including decent health care and children's education. It stresses transparency and the need for time- and place-specific living wage estimates, and is replete with examples from country studies that have put it to the test. The authors describe how living wages can be estimated in locations and countries where secondary data are limited and make new, practical recommendations on how to value in kind benefits as partial payment of a living wage An essential tool for global sustainability standards, researchers, NGOs, governments and international organizations interested in wages, estimating realistic poverty lines, formulating policies for reducing poverty and income inequality, and improving livelihoods and international trade agreements. This manual is also an excellent tool for companies, global sustainability standards, trade unions, NGOs, and public-private partnerships, and others concerned with corporate social responsibility and human resources.
