Book Description
This paper uses a panel of 7,617 individuals drawn from the Swiss Labor Force Survey (SLFS) to study i) low-pay incidence, and ii) individual transition probabilities at the lower end of the wage distribution. In a first step, various raw transition probabilities are computed for the period between 1992 and 1998, and some descriptive and comparative statistics on wage mobility are presented. In the second step, the determinants of low-pay incidence are estimated, and in a third step, the determinants of transitions into and out of the low-pay segment are analyzed. This analysis is based on a bivariate probit model which takes into account the potential endogeneity of the initial state. With regard to low-pay incidence the results to a large extent confirm previous ones obtained by standard wage equations. Low-pay incidence is influenced by certain personal characteristics, but as well by the affiliation to particular economic sectors. When investigating mobility, it is found that low-pay spells are both transitory and persistent events. On the one hand, many workers low-paid at some point in time succeed to escape the low-pay segment within a two-year period. For those remaining low-paid, on the other hand, our results suggest that state dependence rather than heterogeneity seems to affect more the persistence in low-pay status.

Book Description
A historically unique experiment is about to enter its second decade - German unification. Early hopes for a rapid and smooth economic transformation soon turned out to be overly optimistic. Despite massive financial transfers, the political promise of a "blooming landscape" remains a vision. Actual developments have left deep scars on the labor market, and the effects will be felt for decades to come. Was this outcome to be expected, perhaps even inevitable? What went wrong, and what were the available options? Or is the current state of Eastern German labor market in fact better than is commonly assumed?

Book Description
Contributors in European labor market studies, economics, political science, and employment studies argue that transitional markets, defined as politically supported sets of mobility options, are becoming essential ingredients of successful employment policies in modern societies. They draw on empirical evidence to examine the dynamics of modern labor markets and describe the theoretical foundation of transitional labor markets. The book is of interest to academics and policymakers in employment policy. Edited by Schmid (political economics, Free University of Berlin) and Gazier (economics, University Paris 1).

Book Description
As the system of command economy broke up, profound changes took place in Central and Eastern Europe. The output changes involved a sharp decline followed by a recovery. Being virtually zero in the previous system, unemployment reached double-digits and in some countries it has stabilized at high levels, with the young and low-educated people being the hardest-hit groups. Due to the enterprise restructuring, many people moved from state to private sector with unemployment as the buffer zone. This study provides evidence that there is no fit- for all policy to handle unemployment during transition. The economic growth is the only long- term solution to unemployment. Examining the case of Albania and Bulgaria, the study finds that the current unemployment rate is determined not only by economic conditions within the country, but also by emigration of the labour force and non- participation. The existing policies fail to produce the desired results, due largely to a lack of coordination with the labour demand. The study provides a brief review of the labour market in Kosova and also develops some policy recommendations.
