Temporary Employment: The Spanish Experience, Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes
Temporary Employment: The Spanish Experience, Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes
Dissertations
In an effort to promote employment flexibility and reduce the unemployment rate, Spanish authorities deregulated temporary employment in the early 1980s. Nonetheless, the deregulation of temporary employment took place at the margin, favoring the development of a dual labor market in which temporary workers constituted a second class of workers involuntarily employed and enduring limited advancement opportunities.
Using data from the Spanish labor force survey, Spanish temporary employment and job transitions into and out of temporary employment are examined. The study first evaluates the incidence of Spanish temporary employment and its involuntary and demand-led character. Secondly, the analysis reveals temporary …
Evaluating Modernization And Dependency Explanations Of The Unequal Distribution Of Income In Developing Countries, Paul Timothy Shattuck
Evaluating Modernization And Dependency Explanations Of The Unequal Distribution Of Income In Developing Countries, Paul Timothy Shattuck
Dissertations and Theses
This paper tests two different theoretical explanations of the causes of the unequal distribution of income in less developed countries using data from circa 1990. There are several reasons for examining this much-studied topic. First, as described in the previous research findings chapter below, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the relative effects of modernization and dependency variables on income inequality. Determining the independent effects of the two models is still an open ended question. Second, the availability of more recent data provides us with an opportunity to check the possibility that previous findings were partly due to …
The Effect Of New Rice Technology Of [!] Income Distribution In Agricultural Households In West Bengal, India, Ellyn N. Neal
The Effect Of New Rice Technology Of [!] Income Distribution In Agricultural Households In West Bengal, India, Ellyn N. Neal
Electronic Dissertations and Theses
The emergence of the high-yielding varieties (HYVs) as alternatives to traditional varieties (IVS) of wheat, rice, and several other crops has been a major event in many developing countries during the last two decades. The output, income, and employment-augmenting effects of this modern technology have been documented in many regions of the world. The existing studies have focused on aggregate economic· indicators at national, regional, and sectoral levels. However, questions regarding the effects of higher levels of production on the distribution of income among rural families have been asked. This study assesses alternative sources of income supporting agricultural households in …

Changes In The Black/White Income Ratio, 1939-87, Melvin Keys
Changes In The Black/White Income Ratio, 1939-87, Melvin Keys
Masters Theses
The Black/white income ratio (BWIR) has increased steadily from 1939-87 for families with two incomes. Early-on, the income disparity was greatest for black females compared to black males. Because of race and sex discrimination, black females were lagging far behind society in wage differences. Today, the opposite is true, black males lag far behind black females in income: compared to their white counterparts. One of the reasons for such a large reversal in income differences maybe the opportunities that were available to black females in such occupations as teaching and nursing from 1940-75.
Migration, which looks at regional composition, was …
An Analysis Of The Effect Of Urban Concentration And Occupational Structure On Wage Differentials Between Women And Men In Selected Geographic Divisions Of The United States, Susan Stickler Hession-Eaton
An Analysis Of The Effect Of Urban Concentration And Occupational Structure On Wage Differentials Between Women And Men In Selected Geographic Divisions Of The United States, Susan Stickler Hession-Eaton
Graduate Thesis Collection
When attempting to explain the economics of occupational structure, income servies as the apex of discrimination. Women earn only 60% of what men earn. This statistic does not offend enough people since efforts to change the situation have provided only further resistance by women and men for improvement in the earnings split. Women tend to receive lower wage and salary earnings than men because of differences in types of jobs held, job training and continuity of work experience. Large numbers of women work in traditionally low-paying occupations and low-wage industries. Women tend to respond to their cultural up-bringing. My hypothesis …

The Structure Of A Community Action Agency For A Democratic Process, William Tom Buzbee
The Structure Of A Community Action Agency For A Democratic Process, William Tom Buzbee
OBU Graduate Theses
For several years because of change or the lack of change, an increasing number of the population of the United States have been the ranks of the poor. The Community Action Program was designed to give a voice to the poor. Due to the fact that Community Action Agencies were new, their function and objective may not have been understood.
This study has been concerned with the problem of poverty in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, and the efforts of the Lincoln Total Community Action Agency, Inc., organized under provisions of the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act passed by the United States Congress, …
The Virginia Retirement System, Julian Hutson Hill Jr.
The Virginia Retirement System, Julian Hutson Hill Jr.
Master's Theses
This thesis is written largely from knowledge obtained through two years of experience with the administration of the Virginia Retirement System. From this experience the author has attempted to provide the reader with a deeper insight into the operation of the Virginia Retirement System than otherwise might have been possible. In some instances it may appear that the treatment has become somewhat technical, but every attempt has been made to use language which is clear and nontechnical and still retain the original meaning of the Act. If the interpretation of the provisions of the Act has been altered in any …
