Target-date funds are becoming the most popular default option chosen by plan fiduciaries since the passage of the Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) Regulation (29 CFR Section 2550.404c-5), which was passed a part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. The 401(k) plans reviewed in this study were administered in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan statistical area, had at least 1,000 participants and had at least $5,000,000 in total assets as of December 31, 2011. Twenty seven 401(k) plans in Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan statistical area (excluding any 401(k) plans from Indiana) met the criteria.

{"title":"Recapitalizing the U.S. Economy: Envisioning the Role of Broad Employee Ownership: The Scholarly Agenda Advances","authors":"M. A. Beyster, Maureen A. Scully, Rebecca Darr, Joseph R. Blasi","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1735628","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1735628","url":null,"abstract":"Recapitalizing the U.S. economy continues to be a critical topic throughout 2010, because of the turmoil caused by the serious collapse in the financial infrastructure in the U.S. over the preceding years. Questions are still being raised in many quarters - the policy arena, the press, community groups, and business schools - about what a sustainable economy looks like and how it would benefit the greatest number of people.How is capital to be generated, deployed, and distributed? Capital refers to company stock that owns the capital of corporations, pools of capital concentrated in various funds, the capital provided by nature’s abundance, the human capital we build in organizations, and the social capital in organizations and communities.The researchers at this symposium are investigating the premise that employee ownership - including equity compensation, profit sharing, and democratic work practices - can play an integral role in economic revitalization through the creation and distribution of capital. Recapitalization in finance typically refers to a change in the capital structure of a corporation in order to create more stability and better performance. We are using this term in the general sense of the role of increasing the equity of the American worker in U.S. capitalism in order to contribute to making the economy more stable and sustainable.To understand whether and how employee ownership can play a role in recapitalizing the economy, scholars pursue specific questions that contribute to the bigger picture (see details in section 4). They examine how employees respond to the perceived risk of ownership shares as compensation, employees’ satisfaction and motivation, and their compensation levels. They look at how firms with employee ownership perform, marshal human capital to produce innovations, and return higher value to shareholders. They compare these dynamics across industries and assess the prevalence and spread of employee ownership in different forms.","PeriodicalId":262144,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Labor & Employment Law (Topic)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116755616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"'Belonging' and 'Otherness': Sex Equality in Banking in Turkey and Britain","authors":"M. Ozbilgin, D. Woodward","doi":"10.1111/J.1468-0432.2004.00254.X","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/J.1468-0432.2004.00254.X","url":null,"abstract":"The struggle for sex equality at work has largely been achieved in the developed world, it is claimed. The number of well-qualified young women entering white-collar employment and achieving promotion to first-line and middle management positions now matches or exceeds their male peers. Many young women have high career aspirations and argue that sex discrimination no longer exists. However, this perception is overoptimistic. Major sex inequalities persist at senior management level in the salaries and benefits offered to female and male staff and in access to certain favoured occupations and sectors of employment. Questionnaires, interviews and documentary evidence from three Turkish and six British banks and high street financial organizations showed that their claimed commitment to equal opportunities by sex was not matched by their practices. Members of managerial elites (who were almost exclusively male) held firm views about the characteristics of 'the ideal worker', which informed organizational ideologies, including human resource policies and practices concerning recruitment and promotion. They also permeated organizational cultures, which affected employees' working practices and experiences. The outcome of these internal negotiation processes was to differentiate between a favoured group of staff seen as fully committed to the companies' values, who were promoted and rewarded, and an 'out' group, whose members were denied these privileges. This distinction between 'belonging' and 'otherness' is gendered not only along the traditional lines of class, age, sexual orientation, religion and physical ability, but also along the new dimensions of marriage, networking, safety, mobility and space. Despite local and cross-cultural differences in the significance of these factors, the cumulative disadvantage suffered by women staff seeking career development in the industry was remarkably similar.","PeriodicalId":262144,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Labor & Employment Law (Topic)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120650877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review explores the implications of Blueprint to law reform, particularly labor and employment laws, but also other fields of law, including welfare, immigration, and taxation. It discusses the problem of the enforcement gap and the prevalence of dominant corporate culture even in situations where legislative reform is made consistent with new workplace realities. Finally, the review evaluates the core structure of the vision advanced in Blueprint ‒ democratic experimentalism in the field of work. Lobel argues that while Blueprint begins its inquiries with the promise of the economy as a social institution, its concrete proposals often do not adequately address the core tensions between economic and social interests.","PeriodicalId":262144,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Labor & Employment Law (Topic)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127493822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
