: The significant labour shortage in Germany could be alleviated if the domestic labour potential was better utilised. The most significant potential is found in part-time working women without children under the age of 14. If 50% of this group worked full time in the corresponding age groups,...

This paper introduces a novel multivariate composite estimator for the Labour Force Survey (LFS). Unlike the univariate composite estimators used in some countries, the multivariate estimator takes into account the different probabilities of transitioning between labour market categories, such...

Deutschland steht vor einer akuten Herausforderung: Der Fachkräftemangel ist in nahezu allen Branchen und Regionen spürbar und bremst Innovation und Wachstum. Ein erhebliches Potenzial zur Linderung dieses Engpasses liegt in der stärkeren Integration von Frauen, älteren Arbeitnehmern und...

This report describes the main characteristics of the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) conducted in 2021 in the Member States of the European Union (EU), two EFTA countries (Norway and Switzerland) and two candidate countries (Serbia and Turkey). All these countries provide Eurostat...

Using data from Thailand's Labour Force Survey from 2012 to 2021, the differences over time were investigated for the likelihood of youths moving between employment states, such as unemployment, employment and out of the labour force. Additional transitions were calculated for groups moving...

While female labor force participation (LFP) in Iran is among the lowest in the world, there is hardly any study on the COVID-19 pandemic effects on the country's female LFP. We find that female LFP decreased during the pandemic years by around 1 percentage point in 2021 and 2022. When...

Im internationalen Vergleich hat Deutschland einen der höchsten Anteile an Arbeitsstellen, die nicht besetzt werden können. Zugleich wird pro Kopf weniger gearbeitet als in fast allen anderen Industrieländern. Die Studie zeigt, wo die nicht realisierten Arbeitskräftepotenziale zu finden sind...

With economists suggesting to increase labor market participation to counter demographic changes and skills shortages, contrary to the recently increased awareness of work-life balance, the question arises as to how much of the previously unexploited labor supply can actually be activated and...

Mit dem dynamischen Mikrosimulationsmodell mircoDEMS wird die Größe und Zusammensetzung der Erwerbsbevölkerung bis 2040 simuliert, wobei der Einfluss individueller Merkmale auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung sowie pensionsrechtliche Änderungen berücksichtigt werden. Die Simulationen zeigen, dass...

This paper draws on a current international analysis of pandemic consequences in the labour market and on the way different segments have been impacted. The purpose is to provide a critical investigation of the facts and arguments regarding how and why the consequences of the same health...

The cross-sectional association between female labour force participation rates and fertility in developed countries shifted from negative to positive during the 1980s. Ever since then, researchers have applied different statistical approaches; therefore, the present study re-evaluates the...

Developing Asia has grown faster than other parts of the world for decades. However, population aging is expected to pose significant headwinds to the region’s future economic growth. We update and enhance the analysis of Park and Shin (2012) to project the impact of population aging on...

This article identifies workers who experienced a job separation during the Great Recession or the pandemic recession and tracks their labor force status in the following year, using the Current Population Survey. Workers are classified as exiters if they leave the labor force shortly after...

China is experiencing population ageing caused by a rapidly declining fertility rate and increased life expectancy. This demographic transition poses economic challenges, yet the intensity of these challenges depends on a number of factors, with the move of people from rural to urban areas being...

This paper identifies workers who experience a job separation during a recession and tracks their labor force status in the following year using the Current Population Survey. Workers are classified as exiters if they leave the labor force shortly after their job loss and non-exiters if they do...

Should monetary policy offset the effects of labor supply shocks on inflation and the output gap? Canonical New Keynesian models answer yes. Motivated by weak labor force participation during the pandemic, we reexamine the question by introducing labor force entry and exit in an otherwise...

Female unemployment is one among the major issues that stifle the development potential of economies, as it slacks off the potential skills, knowledge, and competencies of female job anticipants without being utilized productively. Authors’ intension through the study is to develop a...

The euro area, like many other advanced economies, has entered an era of drastic demographic change. Without appropriate policy responses, population ageing in the euro area is posing formidable challenges for potential growth, monetary policy and public finances. This paper examines - from a...

We first argue theoretically that labor force graying caused by younger workers shrinking and older workers growing leads to more employment of foreign workers. We then use Japan’s prefectural data to estimate that on average a 10 percent fall between 2010 and 2015 in the relative number of...

The economies of the less developed countries are about to face perhaps the greatest challenge in their histories: generating a sufficient number of jobs at reasonable wages to absorb their rapidly growing populations into productive employment. In terms of absolute magnitude, this challenge has...

This article offers the first empirical evidence that labor force exit rates rise when workers' relative earnings fall. The model takes into account that a job not only provides economic security but also affirms a worker's social status, which is tied to their relative position in the labor...

The present study contributes to the extant literature by assessing how financial and human developments moderate the incidence of vulnerable female employment on female labour force participation in Cameroon for the period 1987 to 2020 using the generalized least squares (GLS) estimation...
