Justification of the need to reform the labor market in the agro-industrial complex of the region

The purpose of this study was to develop and justify proposals for updating the processes of labor market regulation in the context of modern conditions. It has been proved that the modern labor market needs flexible government regulation. In addition, in the process of labor market regulating, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of a particular region, that is, to take into account the regional characteristics of the labor market. In the study of the labor market, special emphasis is placed on the trends in the development of the labor market in the agro-industrial complex, the primary range of problems that hinder the development of competition among the subjects of the labor market in the agro-industrial complex is outlined. The significance is that the approaches to labor market segmentation considered in this research study provide a comprehensive solution for its development under modern conditions.

LABOR MARKET SEGMENTATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SELECTED THREADS OF THE NEW INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMY. THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

The Fragility of Women’s Work Trajectories in Chile

How are the work trajectories of Chilean women? This qualitative study analyzes the female work trajectories through interviews and biograms in a sample of 50 Chilean women, professionals and non-professionals, between the ages of 24 and 88. The article proposes an original typology of female work trajectories and relates type of work trajectory with Piore’s theory of labor market segmentation. The paper discusses the challenges and weaknesses of the Chilean women’s labor outcome and presents recent data to extrapolate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable work trajectories. It considers the type of State and possible actions to achieve greater welfare and social development regarding gender equality.

Sectoral Price Facts in a Sticky-Price Model

We develop a multisector sticky-price DSGE model that can endogenously deliver differential responses of prices to aggregate and sectoral shocks. Input-output production linkages and a (standard) monetary policy rule contribute to a slow response of prices to aggregate shocks. In turn, labor market segmentation at the sectoral level induces within-sector strategic substitutability in price-setting decisions, which helps the model deliver a fast response of prices to sector-specific shocks. We estimate the model using aggregate and sectoral price and quantity data for the United States and find that it accounts well for a range of sectoral price facts.

Institutionalization / deinstitutionalization of people with disabilities a contemporary social problem

In contemporary society, although many adolescents with disabilities are making social integration efforts, many of them are unemployed. Unemployment officially and open refers to direct exclusion from the labor market, but there is also a phenomenon of exclusion inside the labor market. Some groups are involved in segments where jobs are uncertain, poorly paid and do not require special or specialized training. Labor market segmentation tends to be built around immediately identifiable groups (eg by age, ethnicity, gender), so that the exclusion of the "decency" is doubled, associated with other forms of social exclusion. It is necessary to improve social policies in the field of disabled people and the strengthening of strategies in the development process of institutionalization of disabled adults.

Economic Growth, Labor Market Segmentation, and Labor Productivity

This chapter examines economic growth, labor market segmentation, informal employment, and labor productivity in Indonesia from 1990-2015. It shows four important facts. First, Indonesia was ever among countries in Southeast Asia with the highest economic growth before the country was severely hit by the Asian financial crisis in 1997/98. In 1999, the country started to recover, and since then, the economy has performed exceptionally well until these days. Second, total employment increased continuously, although as a percentage of total labor force, it tends to decline. Second, total labor productivity also continued to increase. Third, employment is still dominated by the informal sector. This chapter also discusses labor market policy in Indonesia. This chapter concludes that there are many factors that simultaneously determine directly or indirectly the growth of labor productivity, including good macroeconomic management and effective labor market policies.
