This paper investigates the performance of labour markets during the recent crisis for 28 industrialised countries, specifically the reaction of employment and unemployment indicators relative to output changes. We construct a composite indicator for output as well as labour market performance....

Socio-economic enterprises (Sozialökonomische Betriebe – SÖB) and non-profit employment projects (Gemeinnützige Beschäftigungsprojekte – GBP) offer transitional jobs as well as accompanying training and socio-pedagogical support to unemployed job-seekers with placement difficulties. The...

The Austrian population will continue to grow over the next decades. At the same time the number of working age people is predicted to decline until 2030. In how far this demographic change will translate into changes in the total number of people in the labour force (employed plus unemployed...

WIFO regularly produces employment forecasts, broken down by occupations, sectors and gender, for use as a basis for medium-term projections of future skills requirements. The current figures cover the period from 2010 to 2016 and offer an ample set of forecasts for 38 sectors and 57...

We determine workforce composition and wages in rms in the presence of productivity spill-overs between co-workers. In equilibrium, workers' wages depend on the production struc- ture of rms, own group size, and aggregate workforce composition in the rm. We estimate the wage eects of workforce...

We analyze the effect of workforce composition by birthplace on workers' wages. In our model, each worker's productivity may depend on whether co-workers are of the same or of a different birthplace. Wages depend both on the relative size of workers' groups as well as on the production structure...

We determine workforce composition and wages in firms in the presence of productivity spill-overs between co-workers. In equilibrium, workers’ wages depend on the production structure of firms, own group size, and aggregate workforce composition in the firm. We estimate the wage effects of...
