jussemper.org –

Al valor la competitividad en la homologación de los salarios manufactureros de los países europeos (total de costos de compensación por hora) para trabajadores de línea de producción (LP) en paridades de poder compra (PPCs), con salarios equivalentes de EUA, la mayoría de los países perdieron terreno en 2009 en relación con su posición en 2007. Sólo Suiza fue capaz de aumentar su ventaja, mientras que Italia y Austria fueron capaces de sostenerla. En la zona euro, la mayoría perdió algo de more...

TABLE T4*: 1975–2009 REAL-WAGE GAPS FOR EUROPEAN ECONOMIES, IN PURCHASING POWER PARITY (PPP) TERMS, FOR PRODUCTION-LINE MANUFACTURING WORKERS. *(The pivot table used for all PPP real-wage gap analysis)

jussemper.org –

In assessing the competitiveness in the equalisation of European countries’ manufacturing wages (total hourly compensation costs) for production line (PL) workers –in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms– with equivalent U.S. wages, most countries lost ground in 2009 relative to their 2007 position. Only Switzerland was able to increase its advantage while Italy and Austria were able to sustain it. Most Euro countries lost some ground, despite a small currency revaluation, for nominal wages grew more...

Young people and recession. A lost generation?

cepr.org –

This article reviews the effects of the Great Recession on youth labor markets. The authors argue that young people aged 16-24 continue to suffer suffered disproportionately. Using the USA and UK as case studies, they analyze youth unemployment using micro-data. The authors argue that there is convincing evidence that the young are particularly susceptible to the negative effects of spells of unemployment well after their initial experience of worklessness. Because the current youth cohort is more...

Aid Transparency in the Visegrád Countries

This paper discusses the current levels of aid transparency in the Visegrád countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. It considers the current levels of aid transparency, comparing the four countries in the region, and more...

Arms Transfers to the Middle East and North Africa

amnesty.org –

LA BRECHA DE SALARIOS DIGNOS MANUFACTUREROS DE ARGENTINA: TODAVÍA UN TRECHO POR RECORRER MAS CADA VEZ MÁS CERCA

jussemper.org –

Después de la debacle de 2002 Argentina disfruta de una recuperación considerable y los salarios reales están en su mejor nivel. Empero, éstos tienen todavía bastante terreno por cubrir antes de ser salarios dignos; una meta que es realistamente asequible en menos de una década si Argentina es capaz de sostener la actual tendencia y controlar la inflación.Argentina tradicionalmente disfrutó del mayor nivel de vida de Iberoamérica gran parte del siglo XX. Tuvo a la población más alfabetizada y more...

The High Cost of Low Educational Performance

oecd.org –

This report uses recent economic modelling to relate cognitive skills – as measured by Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and other international instruments – to economic growth. This relationship indicates that relatively small improvements in the skills of a nation’s labor force can have very large impacts on future well-being. Moreover, the gains, put in terms of current GDP, far outstrip today’s value of the short-run business-cycle management. The report also shows that more...

Estonia: Making the Most of Globalization

oecd-ilibrary.org –

Estonia has already experienced many benefits of increasing international integration, most obviously in significant convergence. Prior to the recession Estonia’s gap in income and productivity levels compared with the EU average was still around 30% and as the country emerges from recession it faces major policy challenges to regain its pre-crisis rate of growth potential. A greater focus on closing the productivity gap in the manufacturing-for-export sector compared with other transition more...

ARGENTINA'S MANUFACTURING LIVING-WAGE GAP: STILL A WAYS TO GO BUT STEADILY CLOSING IN

jussemper.org –

After the complete economic debacle of 2002, Argentina is enjoying a substantial recovery and real wages are at their best level ever. Yet, they still have considerable ground to cover before becoming of a living-wage kind; a goal that is realistically attainable in less than a decade if Argentina is able to sustain the current trend and control inflation.Argentina traditionally enjoyed the highest standard of living in Iberian America for most of the XX century. It had the most literate and more...

Anti-Roma Violence and Impunity

errc.org –

In a significant number of countries, violence against Roma remains a serious problem. Not only because it harms the Roma directly impacted by the attack, but Roma as an ethnic group are impacted by the lack of effective response by State authorities. The European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) is actively monitoring the State response to violence against Roma in 44 of these cases. To date, investigations in only six cases have resulted in imprisonment sentences for the perpetrators. The results more...

Household Response to the Economic Crisis Micro - simulation for the Czech Economy

bis.org –

This paper studies the economic impact of the current global economic downturn on the household sector. Household budgets can be negatively affected by declines in nominal wages and increases in unemployment. This effect was empirically tested for the Czech economy. As a result of the lack of individual data on the Czech household finances, micro data are simulated. The analysis clearly points out that there is a significant additional decline in consumption related to an increase in household more...
