    The role of low earnings in differing trends in male earnings volatility (2021)

    Carr, Michael D.; Wiemers, Emily E.;

    Zitatform

    Carr, Michael D. & Emily E. Wiemers (2021): The role of low earnings in differing trends in male earnings volatility. In: Economics Letters, Jg. 199. DOI:10.1016/j.econlet.2020.109702

    Abstract

    "Trends in male earnings volatility vary across studies. Volatility is flat or increasing in most studies using survey data but falling in recent studies using administrative data. This paper uses Survey of Income and Program Participation data linked to administrative earnings histories from the Detailed Earnings Records to investigate the effect of the treatment of low earnings on earnings volatility. We show that volatility trends are sensitive to the treatment of low earnings: when low earnings are treated as is typically done with survey data, volatility is flat or increasing slightly, but when low earnings are treated as in recent studies using administrative earnings data, volatility declines."

    Nightingale, Madeline (2020): Stepping-stone or dead end: To what extent does part-time employment enable progression out of low pay for male and female employees in the UK? In: Journal of social policy, Jg. 49, H. 1, S. 41-59. DOI:10.1017/S0047279419000205

    Abstract

    "Using data from Understanding Society and the British Household Panel Survey, this article explores the relationship between working part-time and progression out of low pay for male and female employees using a discrete-time event history model. The results show that working part-time relative to full-time decreases the likelihood of progression out of low pay, defined as earning below two-thirds of the median hourly wage. However, part-time workers who transition to full-time employment experience similar rates of progression to full-time workers. This casts doubt on the idea that part-time workers have lower progression rates because they have lower abilities or work motivation and reinforces the need to address the quality of part-time jobs in the UK labour market. The negative effect of working part-time is greater for men than for women, although women are more at risk of becoming trapped in low pay in the sense that they tend to work part-time for longer periods of time, particularly if they have children. Factors such as childcare policy and Universal Credit (UC) incentivise part-time employment for certain groups, although in the right labour market conditions UC may encourage some part-time workers to increase their working hours."

    Women's labor market responses to their partners' unemployment and low-pay employment (2018)

    Keldenich, Carina & Andreas Knabe (2018): Women's labor market responses to their partners' unemployment and low-pay employment. (CESifo working paper 7377), München, 30 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper revisits the added worker effect. Using bivariate random-effects probit estimation on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel we show that women respond to their partners' unemployment with an increase in labor market participation, which also leads to an increase in their employment probability. Our analysis considers within- and between-effects separately, revealing differences in the relationships between women's labor market statuses and their partners' unemployment in the previous period (within-effect) and their partners' overall probability of being unemployed (between-effect). Furthermore, we demonstrate that partners' employment in low-paid jobs has an effect on women's labor market choices and outcomes similar to that of his unemployment."

    Can low-wage employment help people escape from the no-pay - low-income trap? (2016)

    Plum, Alexander (2016): Can low-wage employment help people escape from the no-pay - low-income trap? In: The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis and Policy, Jg. 16, H. 4, S. 1-28. DOI:10.1515/bejeap-2016-0078

    Abstract

    "The experience of unemployment itself increases the risk of staying unemployed, and the unemployed face a high poverty risk. Moreover, experiencing poverty reduces the chances of reemployment. As wage inequality has expanded in recent decades, low-paid employment and in-work poverty have both risen. This study analyzes whether low-pay employment helps people escape the no-pay - low-income trap. Survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the period 1995 - 2012 are used to estimate correlated random-effects probit models on the labor-market and income dynamics. The findings suggest that low-paid employment is especially helpful to exit the no-pay - low-income trap for persons who are long-term unemployed, as well as for those over 40 who have been unemployed for a short period of time. No indications of a low-pay - low-income trap are found." (Author's abstract, © De Gruyter) ((en))

    Getting more unequal : rising labor market inequalities among low-skilled men in West Germany (2015)

    Abstract

    "During recent decades, earnings differentials between educational groups have risen in most advanced economies. While these trends are well-documented, much less is known about inequality trends within educational groups. To address this issue, we study changes in labor market inequalities among low-skilled men in West Germany. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel, we show that both risks of labor market exclusion and earnings dispersion have grown dramatically since the mid-1980s. We consider possible explanations for these trends, drawing on an analytic distinction between compositional changes with respect to worker/job characteristics and changes in the effects of these characteristics on labor market outcomes. Using a reweighting strategy and regression models, we find that both compositional trends and changes in the effects of important characteristics have contributed to the observed increase in labor market inequalities. We discuss the likely influence of German welfare state programs, labor market regulation, and of recent changes in these domains, and sketch promising avenues for future research."

    Abstract

    "Im Jahr 2013 arbeiteten in Deutschland 24,4% aller abhängig Beschäftigten für einen Stundenlohn unterhalb der Niedriglohnschwelle von 9,30 EURO pro Stunde. Damit hat sich der Anteil der Niedriglohnbeschäftigten gegenüber 2012 kaum verringert.
    Im Durchschnitt erzielten die rund 8,1 Millionen gering bezahlten Beschäftigten einen Stundenlohn von 6,72 EURO und lagen damit deutlich unter der Niedriglohnschwelle.
    Ein besonders hohes Risiko geringer Stundenlöhne hatten im Jahr 2013 Minijobber/innen, unter 25-Jährige, gering Qualifizierte sowie befristet Beschäftigte.
    Gleichwohl haben mehr als drei Viertel der Niedriglohnbeschäftigten in Deutschland eine abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung oder einen akademischen Abschluss.
    Von Stundenlöhnen unter 8,50 EURO waren im Jahr 2013 18,9% der abhängig Beschäftigten betroffen. Anders als in einigen anderen Studien angenommen, hat sich dieser Anteil gegenüber 2012 nicht verringert.
    Besonders hoch war der Anteil von Beschäftigten mit einem Stundenlohn von weniger als 8,50 EURO im Gastgewerbe, in der Landwirtschaft und im Handel." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 316 S.

    Abstract

    "Since the early 1990s, European welfare states have undergone substantial changes, in terms of objectives, areas of intervention, and instruments. Traditional programmes, such as old age pensions have been curtailed throughout the continent, while new functions have been taken up. At present, welfare states are expected to help non-working people back into employment, to complement work income for the working poor, to reconcile work and family life, to promote gender equality, to support child development, and to provide social services for an ageing society. The welfare settlement that is emerging at the beginning of the 21st century is nonetheless very different in terms of functions and instruments from the one inherited from the last century. This book seeks to offer a better understanding of the new welfare settlement, and to analyze the factors that have shaped the recent transformation." (Publisher information, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Using panel data for twelve European countries over the period 1994-2001 we estimate the extent of state dependence in low pay for male workers. Controlling for observable and unobservable heterogeneity as well as the endogeneity of initial conditions we find positive, statistically significant state dependence in every single country. The magnitude of this effect varies by country, however this variation is not systematically related to labour market institutions." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Marginal employment, unemployment duration and job match quality (2012)

    Caliendo, Marco, Steffen Künn & Arne Uhlendorff (2012): Marginal employment, unemployment duration and job match quality. (IZA discussion paper 6499), Bonn, 29 S.

    Abstract

    "In some countries including Germany unemployed workers can increase their income during job search by taking up 'marginal employment' up to a threshold without any deduction from their benefits. Marginal employment can be considered as a wage subsidy as it lowers labour costs for firms owing to reduced social security contributions, and increases work incentives due to higher net earnings. Additional earnings during unemployment might lead to higher reservation wages prolonging the duration of unemployment, yet also giving unemployed individuals more time to search for better and more stable jobs. Furthermore, marginal employment might lower human capital deterioration and raise the job arrival rate due to network effects. To evaluate the impact of marginal employment on unemployment duration and subsequent job quality, we consider a sample of fresh entries into unemployment. Our results suggest that marginal employment leads to more stable post-unemployment jobs, has no impact on wages, and increases the job-finding probability if it is related to previous sectoral experience of the unemployed worker. We find evidence for time-varying treatment effects: whilst there is no significant impact during the first twelve months of unemployment, job finding probabilities increase after one year and the impact on job stability is stronger if the jobs are taken up later within the unemployment spell."

    Görg, Holger & Dennis Görlich (2012): Offshoring, wages and job security of temporary workers. (Kieler Arbeitspapier 1797), Kiel, 35 S.

    Abstract

    "We investigate the impact of offshoring on individual level wages and unemployment probabilities and pay particular attention to the question of whether workers on temporary contracts are affected differently than workers on permanent contracts. Data are taken from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), linked with industry-level data on offshoring of materials and services inputs calculated from the World Input Output Database (WIOD). In manufacturing we find that temporary workers face a significant reduction in wages as materials offshoring increases, while permanent workers' wages are unaffected or even tend to increase. Offshoring of core activities generally also tends to reduce the probability of becoming unemployed, and more so for temporary than for permanent workers. By contrast, offshoring of services inputs does not have any statistically significant effects on either wages or employment probabilities in manufacturing. In the service industries, workers are affected in terms of employment probabilities from offshoring of services inputs only, although, in contrast to manufacturing industries, there are no statistically significant effects on individual wages from any type of offshoring."

    Abstract

    "Der Beitrag untersucht auf der Grundlage der EU-Gemeinschaftsstatistik über Einkommen und Lebensbedingungen (EU-SILC) Geschlechterungleichheiten in den Niedriglohnsektoren der europäischen Länder. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Frauen zumeist deutlich stärker von Niedriglohnarbeit betroffen sind als Männer. Die Ausmaße der Geschlechterungleichheiten variieren zwischen den Ländern allerdings erheblich. Die tiefer gehende Analyse der Strukturen der Geschlechterunterschiede zeigt weitere Länderunterschiede auf. Die Spannbreite der Unterschiede in der Betroffenheit von extrem niedrigen Armutslöhnen ist noch größer. Der Anteil von Teilzeit beschäftigten Frauen am gesamten Niedriglohnsektor ist in den osteuropäischen Ländern gering, während diese in mehreren westeuropäischen Ländern die größte Gruppe stellen. Mindestlöhne leisten einen Beitrag zur Erklärung dieser Differenzen, denn in Ländern mit relativ hohen gesetzlichen Mindestlöhnen fallen die Geschlechterunterschiede tendenziell geringer aus. Aber auch die Regulierung des Arbeitsmarktes durch Tarifverträge und die Beeinflussung der Frauenerwerbstätigkeit durch die sozialstaatlichen und steuerrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen haben einen Einfluss."

    Abstract

    "Trotz abgeschlossener Berufsausbildung arbeiten viele deutsche Frauen und Männer unter ihrem Ausbildungsniveau und außerhalb ihres Ausbildungsberufs. Welchen Zusammenhang gibt es zwischen der Schulbildung, dem erlernten Beruf und ausbildungsunangemessener Erwerbstätigkeit? Und welche Rolle spielt dabei das Geschlecht? Anja Hall untersucht auf Basis einer Repräsentativbefragung von 20.000 Erwerbstätigen das Ausmaß von unterwertiger Erwerbstätigkeit trotz abgeschlossener Berufsausbildung und die damit verbundenen Probleme der Niedriglöhne. Dem erlernten Beruf kommt hierbei eine Schlüsselstellung zu. Besonderes Augenmerk legt sie dabei auf den Vergleich zwischen den Geschlechtern: Sind Frauen häufiger von unterwertiger Erwerbstätigkeit und Niedriglohn betroffen als Männer? Wechseln sie häufiger als Männer den erlernten Beruf und wann kann man überhaupt von einem Berufswechsel sprechen? Fachkundig und präzise gibt sie Einblick in das schwierige Forschungsfeld der Ausbildungsinadäquanz und bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Wissensstand in diesem Bereich."

The purpose of this article is to examine how key income-security policy areas - including unemployment insurance, payroll taxes and the Earned Income Tax Credit, and child support enforcement - affect these men. The article concludes with policy recommendations to improve the impact of work-based subsidies on poverty among low-income men. Subsidized jobs in transitional job programs could play a critical role in helping these men to access these subsidies." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "The labor market fate of the nation's male teens and young adults (ages 20-29) has deteriorated along most employment, weekly wages, and annual earnings dimensions in recent decades. The employment rates reached new post-World War II lows in 2009, with the less well educated faring the worst. The deterioration in the labor market well-being of these young men has had a number of adverse consequences on their social behavior. Less-educated young men, especially high school dropouts, are far more likely to be incarcerated than their peers in earlier decades. They are considerably less likely to be married and more likely to be absent fathers, with gaps in marriage rates across educational groups widening substantially since the 1970s. The decline in marriage among less-educated young adults, high assortative mating among younger married couples, and growing gaps in earnings across educational groups have contributed to a substantial widening in income and wealth disparities among the nation's young families."

    Abstract

    "This article presents findings from a unique survey that assessed explanations for low black male employment by questioning participants in a low skill labor market. Black men identified barriers to hiring - including felony convictions, drug testing, low skill levels, and bias - as major reasons for their non-employment. Employers believed black male applicants were less likely to have the desired interpersonal skills and work ethic, and that they were less likely to pass pre-employment drug tests."

    Abstract

    "The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent and the human-capital determinants of low-wage mobility for labour market entrants in the UK and Germany. Using panel data for the UK (BHPS) and Germany (GSOEP), a competing-risks duration model is applied that allows the study of transitions from low pay to competing destination states: higher pay, self-employment, unemployment and inactivity. Unobserved heterogeneity is tackled by a non-parametric mass-point approach. It is found that low pay is only a temporary state for most young job starters. However, there is a small group of job starters that is caught in a trap of low pay, unemployment or inactivity. In the UK, job starters escape from low pay mainly by developing firm-specific skills. In Germany, involvement in formal vocational training and the attainment of apprenticeship qualifications account for low pay exits. Over the past decades, unemployment and low-wage employment have emerged as major challenges facing young labour market entrants. While most empirical studies focus exclusively on the transition from low pay to high pay, the paper shows that a significant percentage of young entrants are caught in a low-pay-non-employment trap. Moreover, it is shown that, depending on the institutional context, different types of human capital investments can account for a successful low-pay exit." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "We propose a model of transitions into and out of low paid employment that accounts for non-ignorable panel dropout, employment retention and base year low pay status ('initial conditions'). The model is fitted to data for men from the British Household Panel Survey. Initial conditions and employment retention are found to be non-ignorable selection processes. Whether panel dropout is found to be ignorable depends on how item non-response on pay is treated. Notwithstanding these results, we also find that models incorporating a simpler approach to accounting for non-ignorable selections provide estimates of covariate effects that differ very little from the estimates from the general model."

    Abstract

    "Less-educated workers exhibited negative real wage growth from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. Frequently cited to explain this pattern are such labor market trends as union decline and the falling real value of the minimum wage, but also of concern is the possible contribution of decreased demand, caused by factors such as skill-biased technological change. To investigate the relative importance of these determinants, the author, using CPS data, compares the experiences of wage-and-salary workers with those of the self-employed. Wages apparently declined little for less-educated self-employed workers, but greatly for similar wage-and-salary workers. Because self-employed workers are affected by the same demand shocks as wage-and-salary workers but are not subject to labor market institutions such as the minimum wage or labor unions, the author concludes that the main source of the observed negative real wage growth was the decline of labor market institutions, not skill-biased technological change."

    Abstract

    "This paper assesses the impact of Swedish welfare-to-work programmes on labour market performance including wages, labour market status, unemployment duration and future welfare-to-work participation. We develop a structural dynamic model of labour supply which incorporates detailed institutional features of these policies and allows for selection on observables and unobservables. We estimate the model from a rich administrative panel data set and show that training programmes - which account for a large proportion of programmes - have little effect on future outcomes, whereas job experience programmes have a beneficial effect."
