“…Women and young workers are likely to be particularly hard hit by this trend (International Labour Office, 2012b). It is estimated that 50 million jobs are missing globally relative to the pre-crisis situation (Curci et al 2012).…”

“…In these ways, unemployment has an impact on overall employment quality and the presence of informal work arrangements, within which workers typically lack adequate social protection and coverage by social dialogue arrangements. A study by Curci et al (2012) shows that diverging employment trends and slow recovery from the crisis increase the risk of social unrest. The authors report that in 57 out of 106 countries the economic situation worsened between 2010 and 2011.…”

This Research Report forms part of our series on global societal trends and their impact on the EU in 2030. This analysis is embedded within the framework of the European Strategy and Policy Analysis System (ESPAS) set up to develop a lasting framework to assess global trends and to develop policy responses across EU institutions over the next institutional cycle (2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019). The first phase of the project assessed the long-term, international, domestic, economic and political trends facing the European Union over the next two decades; the second phase of the project split trends into three streams, namely the economy, governance and power, and society. RAND Europe's assessment of likely global societal trends constituted 'Trend Report 2 -Society' for this second phase. This report presents the evidence base, uncertainties and potential trajectories surrounding trends in one of the six major themes which form part of Trend Report 2 -Society, namely employment and the changing labour market. Other themes studied as part of this series include the rise of a global 'middle class'; the spread of information and knowledge through technology, the new media and education; the empowerment of individuals; the changing demographic profile of the world's population; and the role of migration and mobility. Overall findings from all reports can be found in the Synthesis Report published by RAND Europe, while evidence on the other themes may be found in the research reports published as part of this series. This work is based on desk research in the form of a non-systematic review of the academic and grey literature on the major trends for this theme. It also includes additional information for each of the themes studied, which was harnessed through a Delphi with international participants, as well as a series of semi-structured interviews with experts from academia and think tanks, policymakers and leading thinkers from the private or voluntary sector further exploring the findings from the Delphi exercise and desk research. Acknowledgements, and a full list of contributors, can be found in the Synthesis Report.RAND Europe is an independent not-for-profit policy research organisation that aims to improve policy and decisionmaking in the public interest, through research and analysis.

“…The incidence of temporary employment has increased during the past few decades in the U.S. and the majority of other OECD countries (Autor, 2003;Curci, Rani, and Sekerler Richiardi, 2012;OECD, 2014). Since temporary workers generally have lower job security and poorer working conditions than regular workers, the increase in temporary employment is considered problematic as it may lead to an increase in labor market segregation among workers.…”

Firm's Employment Adjustment in Response to Labor Regulation

In this paper, we examine the impact of the labor regulation on firm's employment. South Korea's labor reform in 2007 restricted the duration of the specific types of temporary contract-fixed term and dispatched contract-to maximum two years and required those temporary contracts to be converted into permanent contracts after the maximum duration. We exploit the fact that the impact of the reform is larger for the establishments that used those temporary workers intensively and apply a difference-indifference framework. Our empirical analysis shows that stronger employment protection reduces the establishment's labor use. Moreover, we find that businesses try to mitigate the impact of the employment protection by reducing the use of fixed-term and dispatched contracts and increasing the use of atypical temporary contract that are not restricted by the reform. We also find that this shift towards legally less burdensome contract workers becomes more prevalent when the labor union exists.

“…They have shown that individuals with lower income, less education, and precarious housing conditions have been more vulnerable to the negative impacts of COVID-19, experiencing higher rates of infection and mortality (Blundell et al 2020). Additionally, following Curci et al (2012) results, they also showed that occupation played a significant role, with essential workers facing increased exposure to the virus, while those in higher-status professions were often more resilient due to the ability to work remotely and access better healthcare resources (Collins et al 2020).…”

International Regional Science Review

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This special issue of the International Regional Science Review illuminates the “geography of COVID-19”, examining the spatial patterns, distribution, and interconnectedness of COVID-19 cases. It explores the regional disparities in infection rates, highlighting how socioeconomic factors, mobility, and healthcare accessibility contributed to these inequalities. The issue is divided into three sections, focusing on regional economic dynamics and labor markets, public health responses and vaccination policies, and social and demographic vulnerabilities. Each section comprises research papers presenting insights and analyses on their respective topics, from labor mobility responses to vaccine hesitancy, job insecurity, regional resilience, and more. This issue underscores the importance of regional science in addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by the pandemic and formulating effective, location-specific strategies to mitigate its impacts.
