Labour Market Entry

This paper analyses the labour market entry of Spanish school leavers and the match between education and work at the early stages of working life, using a specific data set drawn from the Spanish Module Education to Labour Market Transitions (2000). Special attention is paid to university graduates, because Spain experienced a strong growth in the demand for higher education during the last decades of the 20th century. The empirical evidence shows that although over-education is a common phenomenon in the Spanish youth labour market, being a graduate seems to be associated with a lower likelihood of over-education in the first job. Our results indicate that over-education affects more women than men and foreigners than Spaniards.

Market Transitions

This paper investigates the changing nature of young peoples' transition into the labour market over the last 30 years. The paper uses census data from 1976 to 2006 to compare the experiences of cohorts of young people born in New Zealand. A range of outcomes are analysed including living with parents, participation in education, employment, partnering, having children and migration. We find that transitions into the labour market have changed considerably over the last 30 years. We also find that the cohorts of young people born in the late 1960s and early 1970s experienced somewhat different outcomes compared to both the preceding as well as later cohorts. We attribute this to the fact that these cohorts entered the labour market in the late 1980s and early 1990s at a time of high overall unemployment. Our findings have important policy implications, particularly given the current recession and rising rates of youth unemployment.

Youth Labour

Firstly, a basic understanding of economic competition and its role in the lives of the youth is presented. Then two forces are described which have affected the lowest echelons of the labour competition market during the last decade and the political reactions (xenophobic, anti–system) which ensued. Finally, some ideas are summarized which were presented at the discussion on the competitive impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the labour market, some of the responses proposed and the basic difficulties that affect them. We conclude that one must expect further political convulsions following infringements of the AI upon the structure of the youth labour market.

Market Transitions

Self-employment in New Zealand has been trending up in the past two years, following subdued growth between 2000 and 2010. Self-employed people made up 11.3% of total employed in the year to March 2012 (251,800 workers), compared with 10.1% in the year to March 2010. Self-employment is defined in this paper as those people operating their own business without employees. The paper explores time series trends in self-employment, in particular across three post-recession periods. Characteristics of self-employed workers are also identified. This paper also investigates movements in and out of self-employment in order to understand the recent growth in this type of employment. The analysis uses longitudinal Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS) data. The HLFS provides official measures of a range of labour market indicators, including the number of people employed, unemployed and not in the labour force.
