'Profound changesunseen in a century' superimpose the complex background of weak global economic growth. Employment affects a country's economic development and social stability, and is an urgent issue that every country needs to solve. This study examines the impact of digital innovation on the...

The article examines the drivers of migrant atypical employment in the manufacturing sector of the Emilia-Romagna region. By drawing on administrative data based on mandatory communications we document that, even in an industry characterized by high quality of productions and occupations,...

We analyse the impact of robot adoption on employment composition using novel micro data on robot use in German manufacturing plants linked with social security records and data on job tasks. Our task-based model predicts more favourable employment effects for the least routine-task intensive...

Since 2014, several Indian states have taken steps towards easing labour regulations, the prominent one among them being the raising of the threshold of applicability of Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act (IDA) from 100 to 300 workers, lifting thereby the requirement of government...

There has been limited research on the impact of labour regulations on the growth in manufacturing employment in India based on econometric analysis techniques. The research in this area has been mainly confined to the organized or formal sector of Indian manufacturing, which accounts for only...

Despite the fast growth in the Estonian economy, unemployment has remained high for extended periods of time. This paper analyses and quantifies the mismatch between registered unemployment and vacancies and how it has contributed to unemployment in the Estonian labour market at the (county)...

In recent decades right-wing populist parties have experienced increased electoral success in many western democracies. This rise of the far-right, which is strongly built on the support of the working class, coincides with a sharp decline of the manufacturing sector. This paper analyzes the...

The manufacturing sector has played an important role in the structural transformation process in the developing world by providing jobs and income opportunities. Using data from 131 developing countries for the period 1991-2020, we estimate the impact of trade liberalisation on manufacturing...

This paper examines the impact of manufacturing employment on women's health and decision-making power within households in Lesotho. Under the US African Growth and Opportunity Act of 2000, the employment of women in ready-made garment (RMG) factories in new industrial zones greatly increased....

Deindustrialization in advanced countries (especially in the United States) has been discussed since the 1980s, but what we actually have observed is a distinct pattern of employment deindustrialization rather than a severe decline in the output share of manufacturing. Meanwhile, the service...

In a model with robots, and automatable and complementary human tasks, we examine robot-labour substitutions and show how it they are influenced by a country's "innovation system". Substitution depends on demand and production elasticities, and other factors influenced by the innovation system....

Productivity has rebounded in the last decade while manufacturing employment has declined sharply. The present study uses data on industrial output and employment to examine the sources of these trends. It finds that the productivity rebound since 1995 has been widespread, with approximately...

This paper examines the impact of the movements in the real exchange rate on employment and output in U.S. manufacturing industries. We use a simple model of supply and demand to estimate the elasticity of manufacturing employment and outputwith respect to the real exchange rate, at different...

Um die ökologische Transformation der Wirtschaft zu bewältigen, bedarf es in den kommenden Jahren vieler qualifizierter Fachkräfte. Zur Umsetzung der Klimaziele ist eine Vervielfachung des Ausbaufortschritts bei den erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland notwendig, und auch der Anteil...

The rapid rise of Chinese exports over the past few decades has raised concerns about manufacturing jobs and internal labor market outcomes in high-income countries. I analyze the effect of rising Chinese import competition on Finnish regional manufacturing employment between 1995 and 2007. The...

Automation transforms the combination of tasks performed by machines and humans, and reshapes existing labour markets by replacing jobs and creating new ones. The implications of these transformations are likely to differ by gender as women and men concentrate in different tasks and jobs. This...

Using data on a sample of manufacturing establishments in Germany, we find that the use of self-managed teams is associated with increased intra-firm wage inequality between skilled and unskilled blue-collar workers. We also show that moderating factors play an important role. While teamwork...

We analyze employment and capital adjustments using plant data from the Colombian Annual Manufacturing Survey. We estimate adjustment functions for capital and labor as a non-linear function of the gaps between desired and actual factor levels, allowing for interdependence in adjustments of the...

This paper examines the income inequality implications of a 'premature deindustrialization' trend in middle-income countries. To identify the premature deindustrialization phase, we arrive at five conditions based on the trends in employment and value-added share of manufacture. Among these five...

This paper provides an extension of the model of industry employment and wage effects of trade policy in Riker (2021). The model assumes that U.S. labor is immobile between states, at least in the short run, and this allows for significant differences in wage and industry employment changes in...
