“…This negative signal should be particularly pronounced for individuals with higher levels of qualifications, reducing their chances of getting a job that corresponds to their formal qualification. Similarly, accumulation of human capital in low-quality jobs is often limited and is probably not much higher than during unemployment, particularly when compared to situations where unemployed individuals receive training measures from the employment agency [4]. For some (qualified) workers, low-pay employment may even be associated with a deterioration of their human capital.…”

“…With respect to future wage prospects, however, low-paid women are found to be significantly better off than unemployed or inactive women. The authors argue that, for women, low-wage jobs can help lead them out of unemployment and that these jobs should be prioritized over remaining unemployed while waiting for a better job [4]. An Australian study provides corroborating evidence that low-paid employment is always preferable to unemployment for women [12].…”

“…Low-wage jobs can act as stepping stones to better-paid jobs for some groups of workers. Third, empirical evidence on the existence of a low-pay no-pay cycle is mixed: compared to being highly-paid, some studies find that having a low-paid job increases the risk of being unemployed in the next period, or that this is the case for specific worker groups [4], [11], [12], while in other studies [3] or for other demographic groups [12], this relationship is not observed.…”

“…Moghadam and Rijckeghem has done research on 1995 which shows there are significant relationship between low wage and unemployment in Belgium. Another research has been done in Germany by Mosthaf and Schnabel (2009) and it shows no relationship between unemployment and low wage. Our findings also support their studies as there is a significant relationship between low wages towards unemployment.…”

The main aim of this paper is to identify the major determinants of unemployment in Tajikistan. As a result, three independent variables are chosen to be tested which are, lack of education, lack of skills, and low wages. The scope of the study is the population of Tajikistan and we followed the random sampling technique to collect the data. The data hence collected during April to May 2015 and a total of 390 usable questionnaires obtained. The regression results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the lack of education and low wages with unemployment in the country. But there found no relationship between lack of skills and unemployment.

“…13 This type of model has been used by others, including Mosthaf et al (2009) and Mosthaf (forthcoming). We follow these two papers and model the latent probability of an individual to be in the employment state (higher-wage employment, low-wage employment, not working) in the year as:…”

Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP.

IAB Nuremberg AbstractWe investigate whether non-cognitive skills -in particular Locus of Control -are important determinants of the labour market processes at the low-wage margin. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we estimate dynamic multinomial logit models with random effects and investigate whether Locus of Control influences the probability of being higherpaid or low-paid as well as the probability of escaping low wages by moving up to higherpaid employment. Our results reveal a significant amount of state dependence in low pay even after controlling for Locus of Control and other non-cognitive skills. Furthermore, compared to individuals with an external Locus of Control, individuals with a more internal Locus of Control have a significantly higher probability of being higher-paid instead of low-paid. Conditional on being low-paid, individuals with an internal Locus of Control additionally have a significantly higher probability of moving to higher-paid employment in the following year than individuals with an externa...
