The Future

Let me start by saying that if New Zealand is to compete globally in the future, I profoundly believe that we need to succeed socially. In the years ahead, the international labour market is going to become increasingly competitive because of population ageing and because the global workforce continues to be more mobile. A key challenge for New Zealand – and this is the case for many other OECD countries – will be to retain and attract the best skills and the best talent. We need to be thinking now about the best ways and means of ensuring that New Zealand is seen as one of the best places to work and live, and simply enjoy life.

Experiences Of Women

The empowerment of women as a consequence of the #MeToo initiative has undoubtedly impacted perpetrators, who are now at risk. It has also enabled an agenda for change that has visibly impacted the global workforce and placed a spotlight on the concept of authentic womanhood and the need for its protection. This is a prophylactic measure for the future, so other women who dedicate their lives to the service of others might not be subject to the violation and indignity in 21st Century workforces that has characterised generations of misogyny before them This chapter seeks to illuminate the contexts, settings, and experiences of women working at the front line of medical care and their interactions with colleagues, and is balanced by an illumination of their male counterparts and their reactions to these reported perceptions.

The Future

In this paper, I define the major terms then briefly outline the pay equity initiatives taken in each country. I then discuss the use of lower levels or more rapid rates of decrease of the female male earnings gap as proxies for less gender discrimination in the labour market. The relative importance of pay equity developments, summarised into typologies, as against economic and political climates for success, is then assessed. A final section speculates on the future of the earnings gap and pay equity in New Zealand and suggests where future research is most needed.

Almost All

The growing complexity of selection criteria for discretionary labour migration in OECD countries has been accompanied by an expanded demand for labour market analysis and consultation with stakeholders. While some features of general or detailed criteria may be fixed in legislation, numerical quotas or targets, shortage lists, and multiple-criteria points-based systems are generally subject to periodic review and revision based on labour market data and consultation with stakeholders. Official government bodies have maintained co-ordination of this process, with varying degrees of externalization. In most countries expertise is internal, with recourse to external mandated bodies rare. In almost all cases, however, the process is designed to promote consensus around the policy while maintaining political control.
