Limited Supply

The article discusses the issue of shortage of skills in the Russian industry. Using microdata from a survey of industrial enterprises, the author confirms that most of employers complain of difficulties in hiring and attaching skilled workers. In case of mass occupations, this shortage relates mostly to low efficient enterprises, which are unable or unwilling to pay competitive market going wage. More efficient and better paying firms are less likely to face shortage of general skills on the labor market but may face limited supply of specific skills.

The Cold War

This chapter analyzes immigration reform and the knowledge worker recruitment aspects of the Hart–Celler Act of 1965 to track the intensifying convergence of educational exchange programs, economic nationalism, and immigration reform. During the Cold War, the State Department expanded cultural diplomacy programs so that the numbers of international students burgeoned, particularly in the fields of science. Although the programs were initially conceived as a way of instilling influence over the future leaders of developing nations, international students, particularly from Taiwan, India, and South Korea, took advantage of minor changes in immigration laws and bureaucratic procedures that allowed students, skilled workers, and technical trainees to gain legal employment and eventually permanent residency and thereby remain in the United States.

Case Basis

This chapter explains the activities of for-profit recruiters who match workers in one country with jobs in another. Governments regulate the fees that recruiters can charge to local workers, but not the fees they charge foreign employers. Most recruiters who provide low-skilled workers to foreign employers are agents, seeking job offers and then finding workers to fill jobs on a case-by-case basis rather than partners who specialize in providing particular types of workers to one or a few employers. Agent recruiters have incentives to maximize their revenues from each transaction, since they do not know if there will be repeat business.

Political Structures

This volume highlights the challenges of contemporary policymaking and scholarship on high-skilled migration. Both areas often focus rather narrowly on migration policy without considering systematically and rigorously other economic, social, and political drivers of migration. These structural drivers are often equally or sometimes even more important than migration policies per se. To be successful in recruiting on the global skill market, countries have to implement coherent whole-of-government immigration policy packages which are to be embedded in a country’s broader economic, social, and political structures and the broader context of international migration processes and dynamics. Societies and economies that are able to create a welcoming environment for people, attractive professional conditions for workers, and a business climate for employers are likely to succeed in attracting and recruiting skilled workers that are in demand. The chapter concludes with some proposals aimed at improving the efficiency of the global skill market.

Skilled Migrant

Low-skilled migrant workers often pay high fees to work abroad, which reduces the remittances they can send to their families and is regressive because low-skilled workers pay more than high-skilled workers. No one knows exactly how much workers pay, justifying more data on this in order to reduce worker-paid costs. Media exposés of workers who paid a year’s foreign earnings to get a two-year contract may leave the impression that all workers pay such high fees, although the data collected from workers in diverse corridors do not support such a conclusion. Since the number of low-skilled workers often exceeds the number of jobs, worker willingness to pay can be a way of allocating scarce jobs among workers, although government efforts to limit what workers pay can drive payments underground.

The 2008 Financial Crisis

Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were related to financial stress. Little was known about the effects of financial crisis on cardiovascular health by occupations. This study examined CVD hospitalisations before and during the 2008 financial crisis among five occupational groups in Taiwan. Methods Data were collected from the Taiwan Survey on Hypertension, Hyperglycemia and Hyperlipidaemia 2007, including 4,673 participants aged 20 and above, categorized into five types of occupations, i.e., professional & manager (PM), office clerk & administrative staff (OA), skilled work (SW), unskilled worker (UW) and non-worker (NW). We abstracted their CVD hospitalisation records in the three years before (September 2005 to August 2008) and during the 2008 financial crisis (September 2008 to August 2011) from the National Health Insurance Research Database. Using incidence rate ratios (IRRs), we compared CVD hospitalisation of the first, second, third year from September 2008 to the three-year average before September 2008 for five occupational groups. Random effect negative binomial models were performed to estimate IRRs. Results After adjusting for covariates including age, sex, education, smoking, alcohol drinking, exercise and body mass index, there was an increase of CVD hospitalisation incidence for NW in the first year of the financial crisis (IRR=1.46, 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI]=1.19-1.77); in the second year, SW had a raised risk of CVD hospitalisation (IRR= 2.71, 95% CI = 1.59-4.60). For all occupational groups, the incidence rates of CVD hospitalisation reached the peak in the third year (PM: IRR=2.68, 95% CI = 1.05-6.83; OA: IRR=2.70, 95% CI = 1.18-6.19; SW: IRR=5.13, 95% CI = 2.89-9.09; UW: IRR=2.12, 95% CI = 1.02-4.41; NW: IRR=1.85, 95% CI = 1.18-2.67). Conclusions CVD hospitalisation of all occupations were affected by the financial crisis; when non-workers were the early victims, skilled workers may be the most vulnerable in the 2008 financial crisis. Key messages This study investigated the effects of the 2008 financial crisis on cardiovascular disease hospitalization by five occupational types in Taiwan. All occupations, particularly skilled workers, were affected by the financial crisis.
