Abstract:
Abstract We measure U.S. listed companies’ skilled labor risk—that is, the potential failure in attracting and retaining skilled labor, by the intensity of discussions on this issue in 10-K filings. We show that this measure effectively captures firm risk due to the mobility of skilled labor. We find that an increase from the 25th to the 75th percentile in the skilled labor risk would increase the skilled labor wage by 22% (or $15,593) and also lead to higher equity-based incentive pay. The skilled labor risk also interacts with other corporate policies such as financial leverage, cash holdings, and M&As.

Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between technology and demand for skilled labor both historically and empirically. First, it is pointed out that the Industrial Revolution substituted skilled labor with unskilled labor since it has a de-skilling characteristic. Second, the skill-bias feature of Information and Communication Technologies Revolution is suggested. Finally, the effect of technological progress on the demand for skilled labor is tested for Turkish Private Manufacturing Industries. According to the static panel data estimation results, there is a positive but weak relationship between technological progress and demand for skilled labor.

Abstract:
We present evidence that some firms pursue mergers with an objective of acquiring and retaining the target firm’s employees. We identify such target firms by the language used to describe employees in their 10-K statements, focusing on references to “skilled” employees. We find a positive correlation between the use of the word “skilled” and post-merger employment outcomes. Moreover, we find that it is the target employees most valuable to the firm that are relatively more likely to be retained following an acquiring-labor-motivated acquisition. Acquirers appear to retain the high value employees in acquiring-labor-motivated acquisitions by providing these workers with relatively greater wage increases.

Abstract:
В статье рассматриваются проблемы нехватки рабочей силы и обеспечения безопасности на строительных площадках. Обеспечение безопасности рабочих должно быть главным приоритетом на каждой рабочей площадке. Условия на площадке могут быстро меняться, и в любой момент могут возникнуть непредвиденные опасности, создав неожиданные риски для проекта. Крупные аварии могут привести к серьезным травмам или гибели сотрудников. Цель в каждом проекте должна заключаться в том, чтобы избежать несчастных случаев и гарантировать, что каждый работник благополучно вернется домой к своей семье. Гораздо дешевле инвестировать в обучение, технический контроль и СИЗ для предотвращения несчастных случаев, чем бороться с их последствиями. Убедитесь, что субподрядчики понимают приверженность безопасности и проводят обучение своих сотрудников перед началом работы. The article examines the problems of labor shortages and safety at construction sites. Keeping workers safe should be a top priority at every jobsite. Site conditions can change rapidly and unforeseen hazards can arise at any time, creating unexpected risks for the project. Major accidents can result in serious injury or death to employees. The goal in every project should be to avoid accidents and to ensure that every worker returns safely home to their family. It is much cheaper to invest in training, technical control and PPE to prevent accidents than to deal with their consequences. Make sure subcontractors understand the commitment to safety and provide training to their employees before starting work.

Abstract:
This essay examines the trajectories of skilled labor migrants within a global South-North migration matrix using an interdisciplinary framework. Focusing on Nigeria's huge brain drain phenomenon, the essay draws from the limited available data on the field, interpreting those data through theoretical perspectives from postcolonial studies, Marxism, cultural studies, and human geography. The study spotlights the example of the United States of America as a receptacle of skilled migrants and raises questions of social justice along the North-South divide. The research demonstrates that contrary to the dominant image promoted by some elements in the Western media of migrants as irritants or criminals who disturb well-cultivated, advanced World economies and social spaces, 1 those nations benefit highly from Africa's (and other migrant countries') labor diasporas, especially the highly skilled professionals.

Abstract:
This thesis project examined underemployment at the state and national levels. Underemployment is the inability of highly skilled migrants with degrees from their home countries to enter the workforce in the receiving country. Pending and enacted legislation was analyzed at the state level to determine in which ways the state of Oregon can implement similar policies to effectively incorporate underemployed immigrants into the state workforce. This project utilized primary data sources at the state and federal level, migrant interviews were used as illustrations of the barriers that exist for underemployed migrants, and secondary data sources from the fields of economics, social sciences, political sciences, and population studies were utilized to provide an understanding of how underemployment is addressed at the national level. Overall, my research found underemployed professional migrants are greatly underutilized, which translates into missed economic opportunities for individual migrants and for the United States as a whole.

Abstract:
The topic of international skilled labour mobility has received growing attention within the field of population geography and other disciplines. This interest reflects the large growth of international skilled labour mobility, especially during the 1980s. Attention of prior research has focused on the migratory movement of managers and professionals as they radiate across the globe, recording and representing the dispersal of international investment and the overseas expansion of producers of goods and services. The research examines Scotland's participation in the international exchange of skilled labour. The research undertaken addresses the varying theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches of prior research on international skilled labour mobility in geography, as well as in other disciplines, such as management studies and occupational psychology. In doing so, the interplay between work and non-work spheres in shaping Scottish international skilled labour mobility is highlighted, as is the differing temporal and spatial focus of existing studies. The author's research thus investigates both the economic and social contexts of Scottish international skilled labour mobility, these contexts being characterised at macro, meso and micro level. In addition, the research adopts a broader definition of skilled labour movements than prior research, and so the study discusses the place of short term business travel as well as longer term migratory movements and the relationship between them. In illustrating the economic context of Scottish international skilled labour mobility, the research outlines macro level changes in the Scottish economy and the role of foreign direct investment as a source and channel of Scottish skill exchange. In turn, the specific institutional characteristics of activities generating these labour flows are examined and related to the occupational status of mobile persons.

Abstract:
Using theoretical and empirical approaches, this thesis asks whether skilled and unskilled labour complement or substitute one another in production. We primarily investigate whether an increase in the proportion of workers with skills would raise or lower demand for those who remain unskilled. A secondary issue is the role of factor prices in labour demand. To study the role of factor prices, we estimate labour demand elasticities and Alien elasticities of substitution between capital and up to five occupations in South Africa. We supplement firmlevel data with household survey information and confirm theoretically that the elasticities can be estimated from a cost function under non-constant returns to scale. We show that separable disaggregated inputs can be used to find aggregate elasticities: more skilled and less skilled aggregates are p-complements, so a fall in skilled wages would lead to a rise in demand for less skilled labour. Disaggregated estimates suggest unskilled workers are p-complements with semi-skilled workers but p-substitutes with skilled/artisanal labour. We investigate the effects of a rise in skill supply on the relatively unskilled by estimating Hicks elasticities of complementarity and factor price. Aggregated estimates suggest more skilled and less skilled labour are q-complements, so an exogenous rise in the supply of skilled labour would raise demand for less skilled labour. Disaggregated estimates suggest skilled/artisanal and unskilled labour are q-complements while semi-skilled and unskilled labour are q-substitutes. The results allow for imperfectly elastic product demand and rigid wages. Using an endogenous growth model, we show technological progress is skill-biased in the South if it is in the North, resulting in rising wage inequality in developing countries. Assuming skilled and unskilled labour are perfect substitutes, we model expanded educational access as it adds relatively educated cohorts to the labour market. A rising skill composition causes accelerated skill-biased technological change and wage inequality. Relaxing the assumption of perfect substitutability, a one-off rise in skill supply only raises wage inequality if the elasticity of substitution is high, higher than existing empirical estimates.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2008.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 137-142).
This dissertation consists of three chapters on the youth and low-skilled labor markets. In Chapter 1, I show that teen employment is significantly more responsive than adult employment to immigration, and that growth in low-skilled immigration appears to be a partial explanation for recent declines in teen employment rates. Using variation in immigrant shares across metropolitan areas between 1980 and 2000, I demonstrate that the impact of immigration on youth employment is at least twice as large as the impact on adults, and that immigration affects school enrollment decisions and the type of jobs held by native youth. These effects are strongest for black youth and youth from poorer and less educated families. The estimates suggest that a 10 percentage point increase in the immigrant share of a city's low-skilled population reduces the teen employment rate by 5 percentage points, implying that between one-third and one-half of the fall in teen employment between 1990 and 2005 can be explained by increased immigration. In Chapter 2, co-authored with David H. Autor and Alan Manning, we offer a fresh analysis of the effect of state and federal minimum wages on earnings inequality over 1979 to 2007, exploiting substantially longer state-level wage panels than were available to earlier analyses as well as a proliferation of recent state minimum wage laws. We obtain identification using cross-state and over-time variation in the 'bite' of federal and applicable state minimum wages, as per influential studies by Lee (1999) and Teulings (2000, 2003).
(cont.) Distinct from this work, we use statutory minimum wages as instrumental variables for the bite of the minimum wage, thereby purging simultaneity bias stemming from errors-in-variables, which we hypothesize causes upward bias in prior OLS estimates. While we uphold the finding that the minimum wage reduces inequality in the lower tail of the wage distribution, we estimate that earlier OLS models overestimate this impact greatly-by 150 to 450 percent. Models purged of simultaneity bias indicate that the minimum wage explains at most one-third of the rapid rise in inequality during the 1980s, and a comparable share of the more modest subsequent rise. These impacts are still larger than would be implied by a simple mechanical application of the minimum to the distribution, suggesting spillovers. We identify these spillovers by structurally estimating the latent wage distribution, calculating the mechanical effect of the minimum wage through truncation, and inferring spillovers by comparison of the mechanical and observed distributions. Spillovers account for one-third to one-half of the minimum's modest impact on percentiles in the lower tail of the wage distribution. Their magnitude has declined in parallel with the direct effects of the minimum, though their share of the total effect has risen.
(cont.) In Chapter 3, I explore the extent to which polarization in the adult labor market-i.e. a gradual increase in the share of adults working in the highest and lowest paying occupations, caused by technology-induced (computers) changes in labor demand-has impacted youth employment. I show that, since 1980, teen employment rates fell more in states and commuting zones for which the share of adults in low-paying occupations increased the most. I also find that this measure of polarization is strongly associated with lower teen and low-skilled adult wages, and more weakly associated with lower employment rates for low-skilled adults. These results can be rationalized in a model of local labor markets for which a reduction in the price of computing capital reduces labor demand for middle -income, routine-task intensive (manufacturing) jobs, pushing these workers into lower-paying service jobs. This chapter therefore provides evidence that a portion of the recent decline in youth employment is attributable to a reduction in labor demand for youth, due to an increase in the supply of substitutable labor (i.e. the gradual movement of less-educated adults from middle-paying to lower-paying occupations).

Abstract:
Anne Vatter analyses labor market integration of qualified migrants as a continuous transformation process of skills and knowledge. Empirically, actions in organizations are examined by looking at counselling, further training and offices for the recognition of foreign qualifications. The focus here is on the materialization of information in this process. It is shown that informal practices are of great importance for the assessment of qualifications and further training in the skilled crafts sector, as e.g. the right organizations can be difficult to find for foreign skilled workers and personal skills influence the existence of further training.

Abstract:
In this article we highlighted a key aspect of organizational success - the competitiveness of human resources. The statement emphasizes the critical role that human resources play in driving innovation and overall growth within an organization. Let's break down the key points in this statement. The success of an organization relies on having a workforce that is competitive and skilled. The skills and capabilities of the workforce can be cultivated and improved over time, offering a reliable foundation for success. A competitive workforce contributes to the organization's ability to stay ahead in its industry. Employees who are competitive are more likely to think creatively, propose new ideas, and drive the development of innovative processes and products. The connection between human resource competitiveness and scientific/technical innovations is highlighted. Organizations with skilled and competitive employees are better equipped to push the boundaries of what is technologically and scientifically possible. In a competitive environment, organizations need to continuously adapt and evolve, which requires a workforce capable of driving such changes. Competitive workforce is vital for an organization's innovation, growth, and survival. To remain competitive, organizations need to invest in employee development, foster a culture of innovation, and ensure that their workforce is equipped to handle the challenges of a dynamic business environment.

Abstract:
Cinnamon holds global recognition as a necessary spice and a vital food ingredient. Apart from being highly regarded as a spice, it shines in areas such as medicine, as a powerful agent against cancers, heart diseases, and diabetes [1], [2]. Various cinnamon breeds exist worldwide. True Cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka and commonly known as Ceylon Cinnamon, is renowned for its superior taste, aroma, and quality. It contains significantly less coumarin, a potentially harmful substance when compared to alternatives such as Cassia cinnamon [3], [4]. Cinnamon trees yield various extractants, including cinnamon oil from leaves. The most sought-after extract is obtained from the inner bark, which is the primary focus of this project. The cinnamon industry exhibits remarkable resilience and growth, continuing strong export performance during the pandemic. While it faces fierce competition from Chinese Cassia in terms of quantity, Ceylon cinnamon remains unrivalled in quality. Cinnamon extraction is a labour-intensive process cantered around harvesting the prized inner bark of cinnamon stems. Skilled workers are pivotal for ensuring product quality and process efficiency. High labor costs and the need for specialized skills in cinnamon processing pose significant challenges, leading to demotivation among planters and exacerbating the labor shortage issue. In addressing above gaps, this research aims to design and develop an automated machine for cinnamon processing that includes the functions: scraping, rubbing, and peeling in a single feed, as a solution for the high demand of skilled laborers, with high efficiency and acceptable quality output.

Abstract:
As a trend of evolution, the labor force in the Romanian forestry sector is part of trajectory registered by the European Union, as a whole, because many of the member countries are still oriented on the traditional methods of administration, harvesting and processing. However, there are also developed countries with large forested areas (Finland, Sweden) that have embraced new technologies and adjusted management and production processes. This issue aimed, among other things, at reducing the number of people employed in the forestry sector. In Romania, increasing the number of the employees, based on the quantitative increase of jobs as result of the gross exploitation of resources, will slow down by adopting new technologies, reducing the consumption of natural resources, but also as an effect of economic shocks generated by the pandemic. For these reasons, according to our study, the low-skilled workforce will suffer, this being the most vulnerable category, as technological developments need employees with higher skills and abilities. Equally, the informal sector must be taken into account because it employs four times people more. Romania have to adopt those appropriate measures in order to help the incorporation of the labor force released from the forestry sector of resource exploitation into adjacent sustainable activities.

Abstract:
The extent of artificial intelligence can be realized by contributing to the scientific, technological, economic and social development and progress of humanity. While AI is driving growth in many industries and bringing economic benefits, it is causing deep disruption and structural transformations in the labor market, in both positive and negative ways. We are witnessing the replacement of job roles by AI-driven automation and a growing demand for professionals with AI expertise, new professions emerging that did not exist before. On the other hand, the introduction of technologies leads to the reduction of middle-skilled workers, increases the gap between low-wage and high-wage workers. Under these conditions, employees and employers must adapt to these challenges in the labor market that produce changes in the occupational structure by acquiring new skills.

Abstract:
This paper estimates the effects of equipment investment on relative wages and employment of skilled labor and explores their dynamics. The basic hypothesis is that they are positive, due to either equipment-skill complementarity or to skill advantage in technology adoption. Using a panel data set with a wide rage of countries, the relative wage and relative employment of skilled workers are regressed on lagged investment in machinery and other relevant variables. The results indicate a strong, positive effect of machinery investment on the relative demand for skilled labor.

Full text
Abstract:
The lack of data on the movement of people, their wages and remittances has been the biggest impediment to the analysis of temporary and permanent migration between countries. Recent efforts in this area by Parsons, Skeldon, Walmsley and Winters (2005) to construct a global bilateral matrix of foreign born populations; and by Docquier and Markouk (2004) on the education levels of migrant labor have significantly improved the data available for analysis. In this paper these new databases (Parsons et al, 2005 and Docquier and Markouk, 2004) are employed to construct a globally consistent database of bilateral population, labor by skill, wages and remittances which can be used for modeling migration issues . Although the new databases have significantly improved access to migration data, data on the skills of migrant labor are incomplete and bilateral remittances data is unavailable. This paper examines the underlying data available, and then outlines the techniques used and the assumptions made to construct bilateral data on migrant labor by skills, remittances and wages. Once constructed the relationships within the migration data are examined. We draw on work undertaken on trade intensity indexes by Brown (1949), Kojima (1964), and Drysdale and Garnaut (1982) to analyze the intensity of labor migration between host and home country pairs. The results confirm that skilled labor migration is considerably more important than unskilled migration and that people migrate to both developed and developing economies. A method for further examining the reasons for the intensities is provided which decomposes the intensity indexes into a regional bias, a selection-skill bias and a region-skill bias. The decomposition shows that there are substantial regional biases in migration patterns resulting from historical ties and common borders. These regional biases are much greater than those which exist in trade.

Full text
Abstract:
We examine the impact of changes in local labor market concentration on two components of income inequality in Mexico: local wage shares and labor income inequal-ty. Combining data from the Economic Census and the Population and Housing Censuses, we analyze the mechanisms that drive the relationship between concentration and labor income inequality by considering heterogeneities across groups of workers (skilled and unskilled) and sectors. In line with previous studies for developed countries and with the emerging literature on monopsony power, we first show that a higher level of concentration is associated with reductions in skilled and un-skilled workers wages. Furthermore, the elasticities are relatively similar. Second, there is sectoral heterogeneity as, for manufacturing, unskilled workers' wages decrease more, while skilled workers do not exhibit any reduction. On the other hand, for services, the effects are similar for the two groups. Third, unionization plays a countervailing role against monopsony power, as in highly-unionized sectors, the effect of higher concentration on wages is null, and this is consistent with a higher level of bargaining power. Even though the effects of labor market concentration on inequality are not sizeable, the impact on wages for skilled and unskilled workers is significant.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper outlines an approach to disaggregating labor payments in the GTAP, global economic data base. The split between low- and high-skilled labor is based on occupational data. High-skilled labor is assumed to consist of managers, administrators, professionals, and para-professionals. Data are gathered on this occupational split, by sector, in fifteen different economies, and these are mapped to GTAP sectors. Regression analysis shows a systematic relationship between GDP per capita and the national stock of tertiary and secondary educated labor on the one hand, and the sectoral labor payments split on the other. This model is used to predict labor splits, by sector, in the remaining GTAP regions. The results are evaluated in terms of the implied economywide skilled -unskilled labor payment ratio. Overall, the results seem promising enough to warrant inclusion in the GTAP, version 4 data base.

Full text
Abstract:
Earnings inequality declined rapidly in Argentina, Brazil and Chile during the 2000s. A reduction in the experience premium is a fundamental driver of declines in upper-tail (90/50) inequality, while a decline in the education premium is the primary determinant of the evolution of lower-tail (50/10) inequality. Relative labor supply is important for explaining changes in the skill premiums. Relative demand trends favored high-skilled workers during the 1990s, shifting in favor of low-skilled workers during the 2000s. Changes in the minimum wage, and more importantly, commodity-led terms of trade improvements are key factors behind these relative skill demand trends.

Full text
Abstract:
This study assesses the direct impact of Internet diffusion on total labor demand, the demand for skilled labor, and the demand for female labor. Using data from a sample of manufacturing firms in Costa Rica from 2006 to 2007, the study finds that both process and product innovations are positively related to employment growth and that the use of the Internet by workers for business purposes does not impact demand for labor. The positive impact of product innovation on labor demand increases when workers use the Internet for business purposes. This relationship was not found in cases of skilled and female labor demand. These findings underscore the Internet's importance in improving the impact of product innovation on employment growth and suggest that employee use of the Internet is neither a labor displacement innovation nor a gender or skill-biased innovation.
