Permanently Displaced? Increasingly Disconnected? Labor Force Participation in U.S. States and Metropolitan Areas by Benjamin Hilgenstock,Zsoka Koczan Pdf

The United States stands out among advanced economies with marked declines in labor force participation. National averages furthermore conceal considerable within-country heterogeneity. This paper explores regional differences to shed light on drivers of participation rates at the state and metropolitan area levels. It documents a broad-based decline, especially pronounced outside metropolitan areas. Using novel measures of local vulnerability to trade and technology it finds that metropolitan areas with higher exposures to routinization and offshoring experienced larger drops in participation in 2000-2016. Thus, areas with different occupational mixes can experience divergent labor market trajectories as a result of trade and technology.

Drivers of Labor Force Participation in Advanced Economies: Macro and Micro Evidence by Francesco Grigoli,Zsoka Koczan,Petia Topalova Pdf

Despite significant headwinds from population aging in most advanced economies (AEs), labor force participation rates show remarkably divergent trajectories both across countries and across different groups of workers. Participation increased sharply among prime-age women and, more recently, older workers, but fell among the young and prime-age men. This pa- per investigates the determinants of these trends using aggregate and individual-level data. We find that the bulk of the dramatic increase in the labor force attachment of prime-age women and older workers in the past three decades can be explained by changes in labor mar- ket policies and institutions, structural transformation, and gains in educational attainment. Technological advances such as automation, on the other hand, weighed on the labor supply of prime-age and older workers. In light of the dramatic demographic shifts expected in the coming decades in many AEs, our findings underscore the need to invest in education and training, reform the tax system, reduce early retirement incentives, improve the job-matching process, and help individuals combine family and work life in order to alleviate the pressures from aging on labor supply.

Still Attached? Are Social Safety Nets Working? Labor Force Participation in European Regions by Benjamin Hilgenstock,Zsoka Koczan Pdf

The paper examines the evolution and drivers of labor force participation in European regions, focusing on the effects of trade and technology. As in the United States, rural regions within European countries saw more pronounced declines (or smaller increases) in participation than urban regions. Unlike in the United States, however, trade and technology, captured here using novel measures of initial exposures to routinization and offshoring, did not result in detachment from the workforce in European regions. Instead, regions with high initial exposures to routinization and offshoring experienced so-far larger increases in participation, likely driven by an added second worker effect.

Motherland by Alfredo Brillembourg,Synne Bergby,Alexis Kalagas,Ida Zeline Lien Pdf

Parangolé ist ein jährlich erscheinendes, unabhängiges Magazin, das Ideen zu Urbanisierung, Design und Architektur erforscht und einen globalen Dialog über Themen wie Mobilität, Migration, Fluidität und Vielfältigkeit initiiert. Das Magazin beschäftigt sich mit der kulturellen, sozialen und politischen Bedeutung dessen, was es bedeutet, in der Stadt zu leben. Der Titel ist eine Hommage an das Werk des brasilianischen Künstlers Hélio Oiticica und erweitert dessen zentralen Grundsatz »Leben ist Bewegung« vom Körper auf die Stadt. Die erste Ausgabe von Parangolé mit dem Titel Motherland befasst sich mit dem Lebensraum derjenigen, die aufgrund von wirtschaftlicher Not, Konflikten und Gewalt in prekären und unbeständigen Verhältnissen leben. Menschen, die auf der Flucht – also »in Bewegung« – sind, stehen vor großen Herausforderungen und sind besonders verwundbar. Diese Tatsachen müssen bei der Stadtplanung entsprechend berücksichtigt werden. In Motherland werden Theorie und Praxis zusammengebracht, um über diese Fragen und ihre Lösungen nachzudenken.

When Work Disappears by William Julius Wilson Pdf

Wilson, one of our foremost authorities on race and poverty, challenges decades of liberal and conservative pieties to look squarely at the devastating effects that joblessness has had on our urban ghettos. Marshaling a vast array of data and the personal stories of hundreds of men and women, Wilson persuasively argues that problems endemic to America's inner cities--from fatherless households to drugs and violent crime--stem directly from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in the wake of a globalized economy. Wilson's achievement is to portray this crisis as one that affects all Americans, and to propose solutions whose benefits would be felt across our society. At a time when welfare is ending and our country's racial dialectic is more strained than ever, When Work Disappears is a sane, courageous, and desperately important work. "Wilson is the keenest liberal analyst of the most perplexing of all American problems...[This book is] more ambitious and more accessible than anything he has done before." --The New Yorker

A New Model for Housing Finance by Murtaza Baxamusa Pdf

A New Model for Housing Finance presents a thought-provoking solution to the housing crisis that follows the division of public and private money on housing costs and benefits. It brings a practical perspective on why housing is unaffordable, and what can be done about it using public and private capital. This book re-examines the foundation of housing finance in the United States with the aim to shift the paradigm from the public and private sectors working in silos, to working together. Through brief yet rigorous chapters, the book assesses the policy failures of both public and private sectors by drawing attention to the continuing human impacts of this man-made crisis, finally calling for a new model of financing housing through public–private partnerships. The limited impact and false hope of planning interventions, as well as the widespread economic impacts of the global pandemic of 2020, demonstrate the urgent need for change in our approach to housing policy, and this book lays out a path forward. It will be of interest to anyone working in or studying housing, social justice, urban planning, urban studies, and public policy.

The Legal Protection of Refugees with Disabilities by Mary Crock,Laura Smith-Khan,Ron McCallum,Ben Saul Pdf

This ground-breaking book focuses on the ‘forgotten refugees’, detailing people with disabilities who have crossed borders in search of protection from disaster or human conflict. The authors explore the intersection between one of the oldest international human rights treaties, the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, with one of the newest: the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Drawing on fieldwork in six countries hosting refugees in a variety of contexts – Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Uganda, Jordan and Turkey – the book examines how the CRPD is (or should) be changing the way that governments and aid agencies engage with and accommodate persons with disabilities in situations of displacement. The timeliness of the book is underscored by the adoption in mid-2016 of the UN Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action adopted at the World Humanitarian Summit.
