The specific example of the National program “From social support to employment” is discussed as a good practice in the attempts to conduct an active social policy addressing to some extent education and qualification problems and providing useful recommendations for future development of social policies in the country, organization and implementation of social programs and measures on different levels and assessments of their effectives.","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127420339","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}

By exploiting provincial variation in number of layoffs, together with cohort-specific variation arising from the negative employment shock, we find that individuals with more exposure to layoffs in provinces and working ages during the reform period are associated with less trust in the central government and local government. This finding is robust to various checks including using migration restricted samples, adding more family backgrounds and provincial characteristics, as well as doing the placebo test. According to our estimates, more heavy burden of social pensions resulting from massive number of layoffs contributes to lower level of individuals’ trust in governments. In addition, “Impressionable Years Hypothesis” based on social psychology are able to explain the negative impact of layoffs on individuals’ trust in governments.","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121533811","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}

It makes the following argument: (1) subnational governments in China have a quite high level of autonomy in exercising legal powers (including legislative and judicial powers) and such legal autonomy is institutionally guaranteed to the extent that these governments (in particular provincial-level governments) appear to be a quasi-legal sovereignty, which makes China a system of legal federalism; (2) legal federalism in China is not only de facto but also de jure in a sense. Not only can such a system of legal federalism be empirically proved, but also it has significant impacts on daily protection of legal rights in different localities.","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133510077","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}

Boudreaux, Liya Palagashvili","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3191407","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3191407","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines the US Department of Labor’s proposed regulation to extend overtime pay to employees with base salaries of $23,660 to $50,440. We find that the department provides no evidence that an “underpayment” or “overwork” problem exists in the United States. Nonetheless, we evaluate the stated policy objectives. The Department of Labor indicates that the proposed regulation will meet three policy objectives: spread employment, improve worker health and well-being, and increase wages for employees. We find problems in the theoretical mechanisms by which these policy objectives are to be met and conclude that those mechanisms are not supported by economic theory. Furthermore, in a review of the empirical literature, we find no empirical support for achieving any of the policy objectives. That is, there is neither theoretical nor empirical support that the proposed regulation will meet its stated objectives; in fact, evidence suggests that moonlighting may increase in response to regulations. Finally, we anticipate that the proposed regulation would have a structural impact on the economy because salaried jobs may turn into hourly wage jobs. We believe such a shift will have a negative impact on certain labor contracts that would be ill suited to hourly pay—specifically, technology start-up and telecommuting jobs. Given that the birth of start-ups is on a decline and the death of start-ups is at a peak, we believe it would be unwise to further hamper the technology start-up market by adopting the proposed regulation.","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126137555","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}

Warrian","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2740403","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2740403","url":null,"abstract":"Our thesis is that a \"new unionism\" must be the center piece of contemporary North American trade union strategy, a unionism that reconciles the movement's historical social objectives with emerging conditions of production by winning for itself a constructive role in industrial restructuring, conditional on a renewed capacity to promote industrial justice (Brody 1992). This conclusion implies an extension of the labor regime beyond the boundaries of industrial relations or social policy: the labor market can no longer be managed to safeguard the interests of employees without a labor voice in economic policy. If management now subsumes industrial relations policy to business strategy, then unions cannot serve an important function without the ability to influence that wider field. The labor regime project pursued by \"new unionism\" goes beyond the Wagner Act design, although it continues to depend far more on North American practices in bargaining and managing collective agreements than existing neo-corporatist regimes. Corresponding efforts among European movements to expand, in turn, the uses of collective agreement also condition our interest in the strategy. Our emphasis on labor's designs scarcely means that we consider labor the dominant power in contests over the labor regime. Labor has neither predetermined mission nor destiny. It has interests, values, and institutional effects; it has fallible organizations variously capable of collective learning and acting; and it has some power resources that bear on the complex social operations of economic life and the political system.","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131056120","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}

We estimate the impact of the program using regression discontinuity design (RDD) exploiting the fact that child care provision is mandatory for all firms with 20 or more female workers. The results indicate that monthly starting wages of the infra-marginal woman hired in a firm with 20 or more female workers are between 9 and 20 percent below those of female workers hired by the same firm when no requirement of providing child care was imposed.","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121533833","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 old system of the minimum wage setting was based on a single nation-wide minimum wage, which was differentiated across regions and occupations via a cumbersome framework of coefficients. The new system is a mixture of a government-legislated minimum wage at the federal level and collective agreements at regional levels. We show that the system of minimum wage setting has become more flexible. The reform succeeded in raising the real value of the minimum wage and increasing earnings of low paid workers without causing considerable negative effects in terms of employment. However, the reform did not lead to greater regional variation of minimum wages. It introduced some new imbalances: an unintended consequence of the reform was the emergence of separate regional wage sub-minima for private and public sector workers in many regions. The major challenge in coming years is to strengthen the institutions of collective bargaining, introduce evidence-based evaluation and boost the capacities of government and non-government monitoring agencies","PeriodicalId":423579,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Labor (Topic)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121954260","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}
