| Publisher Description: Labour markets in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRICs) - To what extent is rapid economic growth in the BRICs improving job prospects and wages in these countries? How are wage inequalities and poverty evolving? How quickly is the human capital available in the BRICs catching up with the OECD? More jobs but less productive? The impact of labour market policies on productivity - What is the impact of employment-friendly labour market reforms on productivity and economic growth? Is social protection harmful to productivity? Is a market-reliant labour market the only way to achieve high employment and strong productivity growth simultaneously? OECD workers in the global economy: increasingly vulnerable? - Does globalisation, notably the integration of China and India in the world economy, render workers less secure or reduce their bargaining power? What are the implications of offshoring for employment and earnings? What can policy-makers do to ensure that workers receive their fair share of the gains from globalisation? Financing social protection: the employment effects - Should the financing of social protection primarily rely on social security contributions? Would a broader tax base help create new job opportunities? What are the pros and cons of reducing taxes and contributions on low-wage jobs and raising them on high-wage jobs? Activating the unemployed: what countries do - What are the main instruments used by employment services to "activate" jobseekers? How do they ensure that the jobseeker looks actively for employment? Which countries make participation in programmes like training or subsidised jobs compulsory after a period of unsuccessful job searching? |
