How tight is the UK labour market?

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK, Issue 4 2004
Article first published online: 14 OCT 200
With the unemployment rate touching 25-year lows and some signs of a pick-up in earnings growth, concern has again focussed on how much scope the labour market has to meet the requirements of the above-trend growth forecast for the UK. This article by David Tinsley reviews some of the evidence for how ,tight' the UK labour market is. It suggests that, although the labour market has probably tightened over the last year or so, the headline figures give a somewhat misleading picture. It goes on to argue that there are a number of other margins for adjustment by which the demands of the robust growth forecast for the UK over the next few years can be met without igniting significant inflationary pressure.

Movin' On Up: Interpreting The Earnings,Experience Profile

BULLETIN OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH, Issue 4 2000
Alan Manning
Human capital theory provides the generally accepted interpretation of the relationship between earnings and labour market experience, namely that general human capital tends to increase with experience. However, there are other plausible interpretations. Search models, for example, generally predict that more time in the labour market increases the chance of finding a better match and hence tends to be associated with higher earnings. This paper shows how a simple search model can be used to predict the amount of earnings growth that can be assigned to search with the residual being assigned to the human capital model. A substantial if not the larger part of the rise in earnings over the life-cycle in Britain can be explained by a simple search model, and virtually all the earnings gap between men and women can be explained in this way. Overall, the evidence suggests that we do need to reinterpret the returns to experience in earnings functions. [source]

Ethnic enclaves and immigrant earnings growth

CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS, Issue 2 2007

Abstract., The impact of living in an ethnic enclave on earnings growth of immigrants in Canada is examined using the 1981,2001 Censuses. Consistent with U.S. findings, enclaves are found to have a negative impact on the earnings growth of male immigrants. A negative impact is also found for female immigrants. Living in an enclave was found to be particularly harmful for individuals immigrating as adults, especially for females, but did not affect immigrants who arrived at a young age. Enclaves had a more negative impact on high-skilled male immigrants, especially if they had received the bulk of their education outside Canada. Enclaves were also found to hinder language skills. L'impact du fait de vivre dans une enclave ethnique sur la croissance des gains des immigrants au Canada est analyséà l'aide des données de recensements de 1981 à 2001. En concordance avec les résultats des études américaines, on découvre que les enclaves ont un effet négatif sur la croissance des gains des hommes immigrants. Il y a aussi un impact négatif sur la croissance des gains des femmes immigrantes. Vivre dans une enclave est particulièrement dommageable pour les personnes qui immigrent au stade adulte, et ce particulièrement pour les femmes. Les effets négatifs ne se font pas sentir sur les immigrants qui arrivent en bas âge. Les enclaves ont un effet davantage négatif pour les hommes immigrants hautement qualifiés, en particulier s'ils ont reçu le gros de leur éducation hors du Canada. On montre que de vivre en enclaves retarde le développement d'habiletés langagières. [source]
