L'Italia senza lavoro
2019
The 2007-8 economic crisis has produced an aggravation of imbalances already existing in the Italian labour market. As Istat has highlighted, in the last few years the distances that separate the various generations and categories in the labour market have grown: citizens with different levels of education, the North and the South, the Italians and foreigners. Long-term unemployment also increased during the years of the crisis, another typical feature of the Italian labour market.
Quanti sono i disoccupati? Misurare il non lavoro in tempo di crisi. Un percorso di analisi dagli anni Trenta a oggi
2019
This chapter seeks to explore the complex interaction between statistical devices, socio-economic processes and political practice with reference to the problem of unemployment in twentieth-century Italy, comparing three moments of economic crisis in which the lack of work assumed particular relevance in the public debate and in the life of workers (the 1930s, the 1970s and the last recession that began in 2007), focusing on the problems related to the measurement of work and non-work.
The French Communist Party and the CGTU in the department of Pas-de-Calais during the interwar period
2023
Rural department, bordered by a coastline, formerly industrialized and urbanized, the department of Pas-de-Calais was a bastion of the Socialist Party and the trade union movement before the First World War. The birth of the SFIC Communist Party in December 1920 and the union split that affected the CGT divided the labor movement. Our work is interested in the construction, the evolutions and the anchoring in a territory of an original political movement and its union relays during the years of the interwar period.It is about questioning the specificity of a political party and a trade union organization, about the links they have established between them, about the margin of autonomy they …
La percepción de hombres y mujeres respecto a la conciliación vida laboral, personal y familiar : el caso de la Universitat de València
2014
El objetivo principal de esta comunicación es dar a conocer las percepciones que tanto los trabajadores como las trabajadoras de la Universitat de València (UVEG) tienen sobre la conciliación vida laboral, personal y familiar. A través de un muestreo no probabilístico por accesibilidad, se recogen 487 encuestas de abril a junio de 2012, entre el Personal Docente e Investigador (PDI) y el Personal de Administración y Servicios (PAS) de dicha Universidad. Concretamente, se diseña y aplica una encuesta ad hoc compuesta por 72 ítems, de los cuales 51 se presentan en una escala tipo Likert de 5 puntos (de Nada/Totalmente en desacuerdo a 5 Siempre/Totalmente de acuerdo). Las respuestas, han sido …
Comparative Analysis of the Social, Demographic and Economic Factors that Influenced Housing Choices in Spain in 1990 and 2000
2008
The housing market is an important sector in the economy of any country. Residential demand (also referred to as `housing consumption') depends on many demographic and social characteristics of the country's population and is also related to economic factors. The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the joint effects of economic, demographic and social factors on household behaviour with respect to housing choices. In addition, an attempt was made to determine the impact of recent economic and structural changes in Spanish society (in 1990 and 2000) on residential demand. It was found that the consequences of these structural changes will have medium- and long-term effects on housing d…
Are there returns from university location in a state-funded university system?
2013
Abstract A location in an economically active, high-amenity region could in many ways be a significant advantage for a university and its students and thus could also be positively linked to students' subsequent earnings. Based on this hypothesis, the present study empirically examines the effect of university location choice on earnings in Finland, focusing on the following question: To what extent does the choice of university location explain the observed positive early-career earnings premium for students graduating from the Helsinki metropolitan area rather than from one of the nine other university cities? The results suggest that no positive average earnings premium exists for metro …
Do Rent-Seeking and Interregional Transfers Contribute to Urban Primacy in Sub-Saharan Africa?
2006
We develop an economic geography model in which mobile skilled workers choose between working in the production sector or becoming part of an unproductive political elite. The elite sets tax rates on skilled and unskilled workers to maximize its own welfare by extracting rents, thereby influencing the spatial allocation of production and changing the available range of consumption goods. We show that such behavior increases the likelihood of agglomeration and of urban primacy. In equilibrium, the elite may tax the unskilled workers but will never tax the skilled workers, and there are rural-urban transfers towards the agglomeration. The size of the elite and the magnitude of the tax burden …

Migrācijas ietekme uz starptautisko biznesu, Latvijas darba tirgus
2018
Patreizējās demogrāfiskās izmaiņas Latvijā raisa vēlmi tās analizēt un izpētīt. Pašlaik Latvijas darba tirgus ir salīdzinoši sliktā formā, demogrāfiskā sarukuma, kurš pēdējā laikā pārņēmis Latviju, dēļ. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt un saprast vai Latvijas darba tirgum ir nepieciešama migrācija, lai normalizētu situāciju tajā un aizpildīttu tukšumu, kas radies demogrāfiskā sarukuma dēļ, un vai patlaban redzama migrācijas ietekme uz demogrāfiju, algām bezdarba līmeni, uzņēmumiem un Latvijas darba tirgu kopumā. Ņemot vērā patreizējās problēmas Latvijas darba tirgū, migrācija varētu būt adekvāts īslaicīgs problēmas risinājums, un šis darbs pierāda, ka migrācijas efekts būtu pieņemams. No otras puses…
Old-age protection for women in the Spanish pension system
2013
The example of Spain confirms the common view that contributory pension systems reproduce inequalities between the sexes that result from the nature of labour market structures and the sharing of family responsibilities. In general, women who stay at home are not entitled to their own pensions and are dependent on benefits of lower value such as survivors' pensions (derived entitlements) or non-contributory pensions. In turn, women who work outside the home accrue lower entitlements than men and, consequently, lower old-age or disability pensions (personal entitlements). The purpose of this article is to examine the figures for pension distribution by sex in Spain, review some of the pensio…
