While there is a large body of literature on air passenger traffic's impact on local employment, the interaction between air cargo traffic and local employment remains relatively untouched. This paper tries to fill in the gap by analyzing the impact of air cargo traffic on local employment in 20 Turkish provinces using Census 2000 data. The results of 2-stage least squares estimations show that air cargo traffic stimulates employment in finance, insurance, real estate and business services and increases the total number of administrative and managerial workers and the total number of clerical and related workers while it tends to reduce employment in agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing activities and the total number of agricultural, animal husbandry, forestry workers, fishermen and hunters.

AbstractStudies conducted so far suggest that SEZs are not treated by local authorities as the main mechanism of job creation in a given region. The objective of this paper is to highlight potential mechanisms through which SEZs impact labour markets in poviats (counties) in Poland. To this end we conducted a comparative analysis of changes that had taken place in the labour market over the period 2004–2016 in two groups of poviats with the highest unemployment rate reported in 2004: with and without SEZs. The study does not allow us to unambiguously conclude that SEZs contributed to the improvement of labour market situation in poviats with the highest unemployment rate in Poland. That can be attributed to the fact that SEZs in Poland are highly fragmented as well as to SEZs investors being able to select locations for their investment projects in relatively better developed regions.

This study designs to assess and infer the effect of Special Economic Zones under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on the economic growth of Pakistan through technological spillovers and the absorption capacity of domestic laborers. The present study develops a theoretical model and an empirical panel model to test whether the intervention of Special Economic Zones in the Asian developing countries has affected their economic growth through domestic Human Capital. For relevant results, we have employed the GMM model for the panel data set. The results indicate that the technological enhancement accumulates the economy through various other selected indicators rather than domestic labor productivity. The human capital remains inconsequent in this nexus. This condition gives us guidelines to follow pro-human capital policies to accumulate domestic human capital before the intervention from the foreign firms on our soil. Subsequently, much waited for dynamic or long-run benefits in terms of human capital can be attained rather than static effects.JEL Classification: C23, D24, J24How to Cite:Waqar, S., Badshah, I., Bandeali, M.

The Impact

The main research goal was to obtain an answer whether special economic zones (SEZ) are an effective economic policy instrument in obtaining better territorial cohesion of a region. Territorial cohesion in regions was considered with a demographic and socio-economic aspect. Based on selected demographic and socioeconomic development indicators for 2005, 2010 and 2015, relations between areas included in SEZ and areas outside SEZ in a region are presented. An analysis of the demographic and socio-economic development level between such areas in the regions has shown significant differences, especially in the socio-economic aspect. It was found that areas included in the SEZ are to a significant extent ahead of areas without SEZ in terms of the socio-economic development level, while the vicinity of dynamically developing areas begins to stimulate faster development of areas outside of SEZ. This indicates that over a longer perspective SEZ may influence the territorial cohesion of a region.

Subject The challenges facing special economic zones. Significance The Federal Law of the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) entered into force on June 1. SEZs are to be set up in Lazaro Cardenas (Michoacan), Puerto Chiapas (Chiapas), the trans-Tehuantepec Isthmus industrial corridor joining Coatzacoalcos (Veracruz) with Salina Cruz (Oaxaca), and the oil corridor between Campeche and Tabasco. The first anchor companies in each zone are to be established by 2018. Impacts Poor economic growth for the foreseeable future will limit the impact of the SEZs. Promises that the SEZs will be operating by 2018, an electoral year, could lead to rushed implementation, risking long-term sustainability. Political capital from the SEZs will be constrained by public frustration with other sensitive issues such as corruption and crime.

The Impact

Globalisation led to the reduction of barriers between countries and intensified international interdependency such that developments unfolding in a faraway country now affect the rest of the world in economic, political and social aspects (Giddens, 1990). The Zimbabwean labour market and its national labour legislation has not been spared from the impact of globalisation. Zimbabwean labour legislation had had several amendments from its inception in 1985 to date. The amendments done at each epoch had caused serious outcry from both labour and business with the main accusations arising from unions who claimed that the effects of globalisation and government’s desire to lure foreign direct investment (FDI) led to serious bias towards employers. It is against this background that this article’s objective is to interrogate the impact of globalisation on labour legislation for employers. The article adopted a qualitative paradigm and made use of interviews and participants' memoirs to understand this phenomenon. Results were analysed thematically by use of both Nvivo 10 and manual coding. Results showed that globalisation has impact on labour legislation for employers. Foreign direct investment and special economic zones were identified as drivers of globalisation responsible for positive impact on labour legislation for employers by influencing deregulation of unfriendly employment laws, instituting flexible contract of employment, easy termination of contracts of employment and giving immunity from dictates of the labour laws for employers operating in special economic zones. The positives of globalisation for employers resulted in direct negatives for employees. The article recommends that employers need to put into context both globalisation dynamics and dictates of the labour legislation to ensure employee dignity and fair globalisation
