The Labour Markets of Emerging Economies

Abstract

Advances in Labour StudiesAdvances in Labour Studies is a wide-ranging series of research titles from the International Labour Office (ILO), offering in-depth analysis of labour issues from a global perspective. The series has an interdisciplinary flavour that reflects the unique nature of labour studies, where economics, law, social policy and labour relations combine. Bringing together work from researchers from around the world, the series contributes new and challenging research and ideas that aim both to stimulate debate and inform policy.

Sustainable development: Does improvement in education and health of women improve female labour force participation rate?

“…Interesting empirical revelations were observed in this study, among which is the positively insignificant relationship between female labour force participation rate and female primary school enrolment and positively significant relationship between secondary school and participation rate. This is in line with the findings of Cazes and Verick (2013) that women with at most a primary school education were less likely to be regularly employed but secondary school and college education increased the probability of having a regular job by 10.3% and 25.6%, respectively. The same position is also held by the studies of Shaheen et al (2015) for Pakistan and Abena et al (2017) for Ghana.…”

“…This contradicts the study of Ray, Esipova, and Pugliese (2017), which states that the more educated women are, the less likely they are to get better opportunities in the job market worldwide. On the other hand, this finding is in line with Cazes and Verick (2013) and Shaheen, Shabir, Faridi, and Yasmin (2015) who claim that a positive relationship exists between higher level of education and female labour force participation. The findings also support the claims by Gürol (2007) and Abena, Fidelia Nana, and Ohemeng (2017) that females with degrees and diplomas exhibit the highest odds of being in formal wage employment and attaining high levels in career planning.…”

Employment protection and collective bargaining during the great recession: a comprehensive review of international evidence

“…Finally, it is important to consider separately those studies focusing on the effect of EPL on labour market outcomes in developing economies (Boeri et al, 2008;Cazes and Verick, 2013). Indeed, most studies on the effects of EPL on labour market and economic performances reviewed above cover developed economies -and their results cannot be easily extended to developing countries.…”

“…anchoring effect -on informal sector workers (Souza and Baltar, 1980;Neri, Gonzaga and Camargo, 2000;Amadeo et al, 2000;Maloney and Nuñez, 2004). Notwithstanding the challenges that arise when we try to examine the strength of labour market institutions and their impact on employment outcomes, with the increasing formalization of informal workers in developing and emerging economies, EPL and collective bargaining together provide a good snapshot of the level of protection that workers enjoy in these countries (Freeman, 2010;Cazes and Verick, 2013).…”
