RETRACTED ARTICLE: Employability and Labour Under-utilization in Non-Metropolitan Labour Markets

Abstract

Baum S., Bill A. and Mitchell W. F. Employability and labour under-utilization in non-metropolitan labour markets, Regional Studies. This paper addresses labour under-utilization and considers the factors that are associated with under-utilization risk of individuals embedded in diverse non-metropolitan labour market regions. Taking survey and census data for Australian non-metropolitan regions, this paper applies a broad employability framework that presents the risk of under-utilization as a function of individual characteristics, personal circumstances, and labour market characteristics. The analysis finds that under-utilization is associated with individual characteristics and circumstances plus local labour market conditions. The findings indicate that policy designed to address labour under-utilization needs to focus on the outcomes of a multilevel framework in order to be effective.

Cet article cherche a aborder la question du sous-emploi et a considerer les facteurs qui expliquent le risque de sous-emploi des individus et qui sont anregstd dans divers marches du travail regionaux non-metropolitains. A partir des donnees provenant des enquetes et des recensements de la population pour les regions non-metropolitaines australiennes, cet article applique un cadre general de l'employabilite qui presente le risque de sous-emploi en fonction des caracteristiques individuelles, des circonstances personnelles et des conditions du marche du travail. Il en resulte de l'analyse que le sous-emploi se rapporte aux caracteristiques et aux circonstances individuelles conjointement avec les conditions du marche du travail. Les resultats laissent voir qu'une politique elaboree pour aborder le sous-emploi devrait focaliser les resultats d'un cadre a plusieurs niveaux afin d'etre efficace.

Beschaftigungsfahigkeit und mangelnde Auslastung von Arbeitskraften in nicht metropolitanen Arbeitsmarkten, Regional Studies. In diesem Beitrag wird die mangelnde Auslastung von Arbeitskraften untersucht, und es werden die Faktoren analysiert, die mit dem Risiko einer mangelnden Auslastung von Einzelpersonen verknupft sind, die in diversen, nicht metropolitanen Arbeitsmarktregionen eingebettet sind. Anhand von Umfrage- und Volkszahlungsdaten fur nicht metropolitane Regionen in Australien wenden wir einen breiten Rahmen der Beschaftigungsfahigkeit an, mit dem das Risiko einer mangelnden Auslastung als Funktion von individuellen Merkmalen, personlichen Umstanden und Merkmalen des Arbeitsmarktes dargestellt wird. Aus der Analyse geht hervor, dass eine mangelnde Auslastung mit personlichen Merkmalen und Umstanden sowie mit den Bedingungen des lokalen Arbeitsmarktes verknupft ist. Die Ergebnisse lassen darauf schliessen, dass eine Politik zur Bekampfung der mangelnden Auslastung von Arbeitskraften auf die Erg...

Factors determining labor underutilization in Spain by gender before and after the economic crisis

“…As shown in other studies (Baum and Mitchell, 2010;Baum et al, 2009;Van Ham et al, 2001, inter alia), the estimates obtained in this work underscore the relevance of local job market conditions to explaining the occupational status of individuals. As a result, men and women living in provinces with higher rates of unemployment will have a lower probability of finding adequate employment and a higher probability of being unemployed.…”

“…For example, by using multinomial logit regression models, De Jong and Madamba (2001), Leppel and Clain (1993) and Wilkins (2006) found similarities in the characteristics of unemployment and underemployment (level of education, being young and belonging to an ethnic minority). Baum et al ( , 2009 showed that the level of underemployment is determined by personal characteristics and by conditions in the local job market. Similarly, the results obtained by De Anda and Sobczak (2011), when comparing the factors for three forms of marginal employment among Caucasian and Mexican women, underscore how personal characteristics and the place of employment (industry and occupation) influence the probability of underemployment, as evidenced by the differences between the two ethnic groups.…”
