Titre : Labor Market and Distributional Effects of an Increase in the Retirement Age Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Johannes Geyer ; Peter Haan ; Anna Hammerschmid ; Michael Peters Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : Article 101817 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ
RETRAITE ; REFORME ; FEMME ; REVENU ; MENAGE ; FINANCE PUBLIQUE ; ALLEMAGNERésumé : We evaluate the labor market and distributional effects of an increase in the early retirement age (ERA) from 60 to 63 for women born after 1951. We use a regression discontinuity design which exploits the strong increase in the ERA between women born in 1951 and 1952. The analysis is based on the German microcensus which includes about 370,000 households per year. We focus on heterogeneous labor market effects as well as spill-over effects within the household, and we study the distributional implications using net household income. In this respect, we extend the previous literature which mainly studies employment effects at the individual level. Our results show sizable labor market effects which strongly differ by subgroups. The income analysis suggests that the distribution of household income is not affected by the reform. Even for the most vulnerable groups, such as single households or women without high education, we do not find significant reductions in household income. One reason for this result is program substitution. Finally, our back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests positive fiscal effects of the reform in the short-run which are mainly caused by reduced pension payments to women aged 60-62.

Titre : Do neighbors help finding a job? Social networks and labor market outcomes after plant closures Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Elke Jahn ; Michael Neugart Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : Article 101825 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ
LICENCIEMENT ECONOMIQUE ; CHOMEUR ; RECHERCHE D'EMPLOI ; RESEAU SOCIAL ; MODELISATION ; ALLEMAGNERésumé : This paper investigates whether the employment status of neighbors influences the employment probability of workers who lost their job due to a plant closure, and the channels through which this occurs. Combining rich spatial information with administrative records, we find that a 10 percentage points higher neighborhood employment rate increases the probability of finding a job by 1.9%. Displaced workers not only benefit from neighborhood networks in terms of higher earnings and longer job stability but they are also more likely to find a job at the plant of a neighbor. These results indicate that neighbors refer workers to employers and that social norms are less likely to play a role.

EWCS - European Working Conditions SurveyRésumé : We demonstrate why meaningful work, i.e. job-related activities that individuals view as purposeful and worthwhile, matters to labour economists. Building on self-determination theory, which specifies the roles of autonomy, competence, and relatedness as preconditions for motivation, we are the first to explore the determinants of work meaningfulness. Specifically, using three waves of the European Working Conditions Survey, we show that autonomy, competence, and relatedness explain about 60% of the variation in work meaningfulness perceptions. Meanwhile, extrinsic factors, such as income, benefits, and performance pay, are relatively unimportant. Meaningful work also predicts absenteeism, skills training, and retirement intentions, which highlights the concept’s economic significance. We provide new insights that could help organise the future of work in a meaningful and dignifying way and propose concrete avenues for future research on meaningful work in economics.

We do so by using worker-level PIAAC data to account for task heterogeneity within occupations. Our contribution is threefold: First, we compute abstract, routine and manual task measures that are found to be well-validated visa-vis previous research. Second, we estimate task prices, and find that a one-standard-deviation increase in abstract tasks is related to a 3.3-log-point wage premium, whereas there is a 2.6 to 2.9-log-point wage penalty for each standard deviation of routine (manual) tasks. Development factors and labour market institutions, particularly union coverage and strictness of employment protection legislation, seem to play a role in the differences in all three task prices.

INDEMNISATION DU CHOMAGE ; SITUATION DU MARCHE DU TRAVAIL ; LICENCIEMENT ; DISPARITE REGIONALE ; LEGISLATION DU TRAVAIL ; ECONOMETRIE ; ITALIERésumé : We study how unemployment benefit eligibility affects the layoff exit rate by exploiting quasi-experimental variation in eligibility rules in Italy. By using a difference-in-differences estimator, we find an instantaneous increase of about 12% in the layoff probability when unemployment benefit eligibility is attained, which persists for at least 16 weeks. These findings are robust to different identifying assumptions and are mostly driven by jobs started after the onset of the Great Recession and in the South.

INDEMNISATION DU CHOMAGE ; DUREE DU CHOMAGE ; ECONOMETRIE ; FINANCE PUBLIQUE ; FINLANDERésumé : We examine the effects of unemployment benefit duration in Finland. Although the maximum duration is the same for all unemployed, potential benefit duration at the beginning of unemployment spells varies, because only claimants with sufficient work history qualify for a new benefit period, whereas others may be entitled to residual benefits from the previous spell. Part of this variation is exogenous due to a reform that reduced the minimum number of employment weeks required for a new benefit period. Using a fuzzy difference-in-differences approach we estimate that one extra week of benefits increases expected unemployment duration by 0.16 weeks. A longer benefit period also increases the expected wage and duration of the next job. The relative importance of the match-quality effect is economically significant when the fiscal impacts of benefit duration changes are considered.

DISCRIMINATION LIEE A L'ORIENTATION SEXUELLE ; RECRUTEMENT ; DIVISION SEXUELLE DU TRAVAIL ; EXPERIENCE ; SUEDERésumé : This paper presents the results of the first correspondence study that examined hiring discrimination against transgender people. Fictitious job applications (N = 2,224) were sent to employers with job postings in 12 low-skill occupations in Sweden. Overall, 40 percent of cisgender applicants and 34 percent of transgender applicants received a positive employer response to their applications. This result was not robust to the Heckman-Siegelman critique. However, when transgender applicants were compared to the dominant gender in male- and female-dominated occupations, estimates of discrimination were larger and robust to the critique. There was no clear support for the statistical discrimination hypothesis.

TRAVAIL A TEMPS PARTIEL ; TEMPS DE TRAVAIL ; EMPLOI DES FEMMES ; COUT DE LA MAIN D'OEUVRE ; SALAIRE ; PRODUCTIVITE DU TRAVAIL ; PRATIQUE DE GRH ; NEGOCIATION COLLECTIVE ; MODELISATION ; ITALIERésumé : This paper investigates the costs for firms of employing women full-time versus part-time, in terms of differential hourly wages. To this end, we use administrative matched employer-employee data on the universe of female workers in Italy over a period of 33 years and rely on regression models that control for worker, firm, and job match fixed effects, in addition to several worker-, job-, and firm-level time-varying factors. We find that, when a worker switches from a full-time to a part-time contract within the same firm, she benefits from an increase in the hourly wage. Over the last three decades, these wage premiums have significantly reduced, although they remained positive and significant up to 2015. We also find that the part-time premium is pervasive and stable across many different labor market segments and independent of the workers’ intrinsic productivity levels. These and other findings appear to be compatible with developments in wage bargaining institutions, whereby more generous conditions can be granted to part-time workers. Coupled with the detrimental effect of part-time work on firm productivity documented by Devicienti et al. (2018), our results contribute to explaining why firms are often unwilling to concede part-time positions to those employees who request such arrangements.

Titre : Labor market polarization in Britain and Germany: A cross-national comparison using longitudinal household data Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Xiupeng Wang Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : Article 101862 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ
AUTOMATISATION ; MOBILITE PROFESSIONNELLE ; SALAIRE ; SYSTEME EDUCATIF ; RENDEMENT DE L'EDUCATION ; COMPETENCE ; ORGANISATION SYNDICALE ; SYNDICALISME ; LEGISLATION DU TRAVAIL ; MODELISATION ; COMPARAISON INTERNATIONALE ; ANGLETERRE ; ALLEMAGNERésumé : Since the 1980s, the share of employment for mid-wage occupations in many advanced countries has decreased while wages for the same occupations have declined relative to the top and bottom of the distribution. The hypothesized explanation of this employment and wage polarization is a phenomenon called Routine-Biased Technical Change (RBTC), wherein new machines and computers substitute for workers in mid-wage occupations that have a high content of routine tasks. Taking advantage of panel data for Britain and Germany, this study follows the work of Cortes (2016) and examines the occupational mobility of workers between occupations that vary in the intensity of routine tasks. Among workers in routine occupations, higher unobserved skills are positively related to switching to higher-paid, non-routine cognitive occupations, while those who have lower levels of unobserved skills are more likely to move to lower-paid, non-cognitive manual occupations. This occupational mobility has resulted in faster future wage growth for all job switchers relative to those who stayed in the routine occupations. The wage polarization found in the British labor market resembles that observed in the US by Cortes (2016) in that routine workers transit down to manual jobs and upwards to cognitive jobs. However, in Germany, which is characterized by different educational and labor market institutions, most workers move from routine occupations to more highly compensated cognitive ones in the face of automation.

However, in Germany, which is characterized by different educational and labor market institutions, most workers move from routine occupations to more highly compensated cognitive ones in the face of automation.

TEMPS DE TRAVAIL ; FEMME ; MENAGE ; GENRE ; IDENTITE SOCIALE ; CONDITION DE VIE ; COMPARAISON INTERNATIONALE ; ROYAUME UNI ; ETATS UNIS ; ALLEMAGNERésumé : Using data in the United States, UK and Germany, we show that women whose working hours exceed those of their male partners report lower life satisfaction on average. By contrast, men do not report lower life satisfaction from working more hours than their female partners. An analysis of possible mechanisms shows that in couples where the woman works more hours than the man, women do not spend significantly less time doing household chores. Women with egalitarian ideologies are likely to perceive this unequal division of labour as unfair, ultimately reducing their life satisfaction.

Titre : Your wingman could help you land a job: How beauty composition of applicants affects the call-back probability Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Attakrit Leckcivilize ; Alexander Straub Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : Article 101857 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ
RECRUTEMENT ; CRITERE D'EMBAUCHE ; IDENTITE SOCIALE ; INEGALITE SOCIALE ; GENRE ; EXPERIENCE ; ETATS UNISRésumé : This paper analyses how both own appearance and the beauty composition of other candidates influence the chances of being selected for a job interview. Based on our lab experiment with randomised CVs, we confirm the role of appearance on job recruitment. Importantly, we show that appearance of other applicants with the same gender has significant incremental effects on top of the existing beauty premium. This “wingman effect” is more pronounced in high skilled occupations and mainly among male recruiters. We provide evidence that the “wingman effect” is not driven by system one decision making and predominantly affects choices at the margin.

Titre : Parental proximity and earnings after job displacements Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Pawel Krolikowski ; Mike Zabek ; Patrick Coate Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : Article 101877 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Thésaurus CEREQ
JEUNE ; EMPLOI DES JEUNES ; SALAIRE ; CONDITION DE VIE ; RESEAU SOCIAL ; MOBILITE PROFESSIONNELLE ; MOBILITE GEOGRAPHIQUE ; FAMILLE ; ETATS UNISRésumé : The earnings of young adults living in their parents’ neighborhoods completely recover after a job displacement, while the earnings of those living farther away permanently decline. Nearby workers appear to benefit from help with childcare. Earnings improvements are larger in states with expensive childcare and among workers in inflexible occupations, and workers’ parents do less market work following their child’s displacement. Differences in job search durations, transfers of housing services, and geographic mobility are too small to explain the result. Our results are also consistent with workers benefiting from parental employment networks.
