Punishing potential mothers? Evidence for statistical employer discrimination from a natural experiment / Jonas Jessen in Labour economics, vol. 59 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inLabour economics > vol. 59 (August 2019) . - pp. 164-172 Titre : Punishing potential mothers? Evidence for statistical employer discrimination from a natural experiment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonas Jessen ; Robin Jessen ; Jochen Kluve Congrès : European Association of Labour Economists, 30th annual conference (13-15 September 2018; Lyon) Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp. 164-172 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ FEMME ; EMPLOI DES FEMMES ; FAMILLE ; POLITIQUE SOCIALE ; DIVISION SEXUELLE DU TRAVAIL ; INEGALITE SALARIALE ; ALLEMAGNE Résumé : Before 2006, large firms in Germany were obliged to pay for the generous maternity protection of female employees, such that firms’ expected costs depended on employees’ gender and age. From 2006 onward, all firms paid for maternity protection by contributing to the statutory health insurance system, where the contribution depends only on the number of employees and their wages and is thus independent of gender and age. This had been the regulation for small firms already before the reform. Using data from linked employer-employee administrative records, we provide evidence that the reform was followed by an increase in female relative wages within large firms. This reform effect provides evidence for statistical employer discrimination in the pre-2006 setup.

Experimental Evidence on the Long-Term Effects of a Youth Training Program / Pablo Ibarrarán in Industrial and labor relations review - ILR review, vol. 72, n° 1 (January 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inIndustrial and labor relations review - ILR review > vol. 72, n° 1 (January 2019) . - pp. 185–222 Titre : Experimental Evidence on the Long-Term Effects of a Youth Training Program Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Pablo Ibarrarán ; Jochen Kluve ; Laura Ripani Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp. 185–222 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ JEUNE EN DIFFICULTE ; FORMATION PROFESSIONNELLE ; INVESTISSEMENT EN FORMATION ; REPUBLIQUE DOMINICAINE Résumé : Identifying the right human capital investments for disadvantaged youths is a key policy concern worldwide, yet almost no rigorous evidence on the long-run effects of these investments exists outside the United States. The authors present a large-scale randomized controlled trial of a youth training program, estimating effects six years after random assignment from a representative sample of more than 3,200 youths. The intervention is prototypical of training programs worldwide and is implemented at scale in the Dominican Republic. Empirical findings indicate, on the one hand, significant effects on formal employment, particularly for men, and on earnings for both men and women in Santo Domingo. On the other hand, no significant effects on overall average employment are evident.(source: article) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/ilr/current Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=63814 [article] Experimental Evidence on the Long-Term Effects of a Youth Training Program [document électronique] / Pablo Ibarrarán ; Jochen Kluve ; Laura Ripani . - 2019 . - pp. 185–222.

Back to Work / Sebastian Schmitz in Industrial and labor relations review - ILR review, vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inIndustrial and labor relations review - ILR review > vol. 71, n° 1 (January 2018) . - pp. 143–173 Titre : Back to Work : Parental Benefits and Mothers’ Labor Market Outcomes in the Medium Run Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Sebastian Schmitz ; Jochen Kluve Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp. 143–173 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ POLITIQUE SOCIALE ; EMPLOI DES FEMMES ; RELATION TRAVAIL-FAMILLE ; ALLEMAGNE ; ANALYSE DES DONNEES ; REINSERTION PROFESSIONNELLE Résumé : The authors estimate policy impacts of a generous parental benefit in Germany by using a natural experiment and German census data. They estimate policy effects for the short run (first two years after childbirth) as well as for the medium run (that is, three to five years after childbirth). Although the results confirm the evidence from previous studies for the short run, pronounced patterns emerge for the medium run. First, effects on mothers’ employment probability are positive, significant, and large, ranging up to 10%. These gains are driven primarily by increases in part-time employment and working hours but also by full-time employment for high-income mothers. Moreover, mothers return to their previous employers at significantly higher rates, and employers reward this by raising job quality. The overall positive and sizeable impacts of the reform are centered on mothers from the medium and high terciles of the income distribution; low-income mothers do not benefit.(source: article) Document Céreq : Non En ligne : http://journals.sagepub.com/toc/ilr/current Permalink : https://pmb.cereq.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=61798 [article] Back to Work : Parental Benefits and Mothers’ Labor Market Outcomes in the Medium Run [document électronique] / Sebastian Schmitz ; Jochen Kluve . - 2018 . - pp. 143–173.

Before and after the Hartz reforms: The performance of active labour market policy in Germany / Lena Jacobi in Journal for Labour Market Research, Volume 40, Issue 1 (2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal for Labour Market Research > Volume 40, Issue 1 (2007) . - pp. 45-64 Titre : Before and after the Hartz reforms: The performance of active labour market policy in Germany Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lena Jacobi ; Jochen Kluve Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 45-64 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ ACTEURS DE L'EMPLOI ; START-UP ; CHOMEUR ; CHOMAGE ; SITUATION DU MARCHE DU TRAVAIL ; MESURE POUR L'EMPLOI ; POLITIQUE DE L'EMPLOI ; ALLEMAGNE Auteur Cité Hartz Résumé : Having faced high unemployment rates for more than a decade, the German government implemented a comprehensive set of labour market reforms during the period 2003-2005. This paper describes the economic and institutional context of the German labour market before and after these so-called Hartz reforms. Focussing on active policy measures, we delineate the rationale for reform and its main principles. As preliminary results of programme evaluation studies post-reform have become available just now, we give a first assessment of the effectiveness of key elements of German active labour market policy before and after the Hartz reforms. The evidence indicates that the re-organisation of public employment services was mainly successful, with the exception of the outsourcing of services. Re-designing training programmes seems to have improved their effectiveness, while job creation schemes continue to be detrimental for participants' employment prospects. Wage subsidies and start-up subsidies show significantly positive effects. On balance, therefore, the reform seems to be moving the German labour market in the right direction."
