We examine how parental and local factors shape the gender pay gap between daughters and sons. Maternal labor market attachment significantly reduces gender disparities as it increases daughters' earnings in adulthood relative to that of sons. We find that maternal employment has minimal effects...

Based on the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, this study aims to investigate how algorithmic behavioral constraint and algorithmic tracking evaluation affect gig workers' turnover intention by increasing relative deprivation and the extent to which this mediating role is moderated by...

Children tend to choose the same occupations as their parents. We examine the implications of this tendency for talent allocation and intergenerational mobility. Using Swedish data on skills and personality traits, we estimate a general equilibrium Roy model with unequal occupational access...

We develop a model where heterogeneous agents choose whether to engage in onthe-job search (OJS) to improve labor income. The model accounts for untargeted microdata patterns: fiscal incentives affect job-to-job mobility and wage growth of stayers-but not leavers-across the income distribution,...

We analyse the long-term impact of hiring subsidies on both job and employment security. The subsidy that we examine was introduced in Italy through the 2015 Budget Law, with the goal of promoting open-ended contracts. We employ a non-linear difference-in-differences (NL-DiD) approach within a...

This paper presents direct evidence on how firms' innovation is affected by access to knowledgeable labor through co-worker network connections. We use a unique dataset that matches patent data to administrative employer-employee records from "Third Italy"- a region with many successful...

Managers ("bosses") are central to the development and allocation of human capital in firms because they train employees and learn about their abilities. While a multi-divisional firm wants to allocate workers to wherever they are most productive, bosses who are rewarded for their units'...

This chapter analyzes the distinct adjustment paths of U.S. labor markets (places) and U.S. workers (people) to increased Chinese import competition during the 2000s. Us- ing comprehensive register data for 2000-2019, we document that employment levels more than fully rebound in trade-exposed...

What influence do the past and present locations of young workers have on their professional careers? To answer this question, Céreq's Génération 2010 survey was used to examine the impact of Employment Zone (EZ) characteristics on wages, particularly through interviews conducted three and...

The Maldivian economy relies heavily on tourism and fisheries; the labor gap persists. This study seeks to understand these dynamics and propose concrete solutions to foster gender-equitable value chains in both sectors, increase women's economic participation, and promote equitable growth. The...

We develop a model where heterogeneous agents choose whether to engage in onthe-job search (OJS) to improve labor income. The model accounts for untargeted microdata patterns: fiscal incentives affect job-to-job mobility and wage growth of stayers - but not leavers - across the income...

Research on generational differences in the workplace is important as it leads to more effective recruitment, retention, and employee wellbeing in terms of human resource management. This study investigates whether there are differences in perceptions of turnover intention, pay level, and...

This paper studies how atypical work, alongside other labour market conditions, affect intra-EU migration and vice versa in 17 EU countries from 2004 to 2019. Relative increases of part-time and selfemployment shares in sending countries increase net migration, whereas relative increases in...

We study changes in job reallocation in Europe after 2000 using novel microaggregated data that we collected for 19 European countries. In all countries, we document broad-based declines in job reallocation rates that concern most economic sectors and size classes. These declines are mainly...

Economic growth and job creation remain key challenges for Jordan, where the economy has only grown by an annual average of 2.5 percent over the past decade. Unemployment is persistently high (22.3 percent in 2023), particularly for youth (46.1 percent). Women, too, face significant structural...

This paper analyzes the link between digitalization and intergenerational occupational mobility in Africa. We use a probit model estimated on a large sample of 28 million individuals aged 14 and higher and co-residing with at least one individual from the older generation. We find that...

We replicate results of Forsythe (2022) studying the cyclicality of individuals' labor market transitions conditional on their experience. Using Current Population Survey (CPS) data and state-level variations in the unemployment rate, this paper shows that the hiring probability of youths is...

This work explores the link between CEO turnover patterns and firms' climate change exposure in a data set of over two thousand U.S. publicly traded firms. The findings demonstrate that CEO turnover is negatively associated with measures of climate change exposure developed with machine learning...

Although more than 20 per cent of the workforce changes their occupation every year, we still do not fully understand the mechanisms behind the observed mobility. This paper focuses on analysing the relationship between work-hour instability and occupational mobility in the US labour market. I...
