Wage Inflation

This paper provides an historical perspective on topics related to recent developments in the Australian industrial relations system discussed in this issue of the Journal— the 'living wage' concept and the safety net, 'fairness' in relative wages, women's wages, the Accord, labour market decentralisation and the role of trade unions. It concludes that recent legislation was not necessary to facilitate increased productivity because the prevailing system had shown sufficient responsiveness to the needs of the economy, both macro and micro. By limiting the jurisdiction of the AIRC and reducing the power of the weaker unions, recent legislation bas created a dual system with a less equitable pay structure and an institutional arrangement less able to deal with wage inflation under more buoyant economic conditions.

Age Dependency Ratio

The sustainability of an unfunded pension system depends highly on demographic and labour market trends, i.e. how fertility, mortality, and employment rates change. In this paper we provide a brief summary of recent developments in these fields in Hungary and draw up a picture of the current situation. Then, we forecast the path of the economic old-age dependency ratio, i.e. the ratio of the elderly and employed populations. We make different alternative assumptions about fertility, mortality, and employment rates. According to our baseline scenario the dependency ratio is expected to rise from 40.6% to 77% by 2050. Such a sharp increase makes policy intervention inevitable. Based on our sensitivity analysis, the only viable remedy is increasing the retirement age.

Market Perspective

This chapter looks at the legal profession from the perspective of law and economics. It examines the legal profession from a labour market perspective. Firstly, it looks at law schools, which serve as an initial gatekeeper for the legal profession. Within law schools, it reviews the literature on admissions, bar passage, and educational debt. Secondly, it considers the labour market for lawyers, looking at the small competitive market of judicial clerkships; the practice of law, predominantly from a large law firm perspective; and the smaller competitive markets for judgeships and legal academia. Thirdly it looks at attorney quality and performance, reviewing the literature that examines attorney quality within and across areas of law, and perceptions where disparity may be the greatest. It concludes with a discussion of the future of law in the aftermath of the 2008 global recession and recent developments in technology.

Market Trends

This paper outlines recent developments in the labour marker, and discusses the likely outlook over coming years. Changes in labour market measures in the past five years have, to varying degrees, been reversals of the changes that occurred in the late 1980s. There are some exceptions to this statement, and differences in the extent of reversal. In this paper we discuss how today's labour market differs from that of the mid-1950, which differences will persist, and what commentators forecast for the coming years.

Recent Developments

Statistics is undergoing what feels like an evolutionary jump, i.e., a period of rapid and sweeping developments brought about by dramatic shifts in its environment. The repercussions are felt strongly by official statistics, which operates at the forefront of societal and economic change. In this paper, we look at the implications of the recent developments for the training of official statisticians and highlight key knowledge areas for successfully navigating the emerging landscape. In addition, we employ the concept of adaptive expertise to help us identify three qualities that support the independent and lifelong development of practicing statisticians, and propose five teaching strategies for fostering these qualities in the classroom.
