Farkas, George; And Others – Journal of Human Resources, 1983
Describes a program of the Youth Incentive Entitlement Pilot Projects (YIEPP) that offered a minimum wage job to 16 to 19 year olds who were from low-income households and who were still enrolled in high school. Provides strong evidence that the unemployment of these youths is largely involuntary, due to demand deficiency at the minimum wage. (NRJ)

Nord, Stephen; Ting, Yuan – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1991
Analysis of data from 2,542 respondents in the 1988 Displaced Workers Survey assessed the effects of written advance notice of plant closings on reemployment and earnings. Results suggest that notification was effective in reducing earnings losses and the probability of unemployment only when received two months before the plant closing. (SK)

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris (France). – 1986
Sustainable growth has economic policies addressed to current imbalances as its necessary, though not its sufficient, condition. Labor markets are important for the growth process; as the level of economic activity increases, they function better, and as they function better, the level of economic activity increases further. Labor market…

The study used quarterly data on the labor force participation rates of teenagers from 1978 through 1999 and other studies to assess the effects of…

Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Washington, DC. – 1990
On September 26, 1990, the Census Bureau released its 1989 figures on poverty and income which showed that no significant progress was made in reducing poverty in 1989, and that gaps between rich and poor and between the wealthy and the middle class hit their widest points in more than 40 years. Although 1989 marked the seventh year of economic…

A probability model of reemployment is…

Wilson, Franklin D.; Jaynes, Gerald – Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, 2000
A study of 1,200 white-collar and 1,436 blue-collar workers with less than postsecondary education showed that migrant and immigrant workers were not significantly associated with joblessness among native workers. Changes in the foreign-born composition of an industry sector were associated with increased unemployment for native workers. (SK)

To provide a basis for appraising these economic arguments, this paper presents a model for…

This article presents an empirical analysis of self-reported reservation wages for unemployed young Black and White males.

Antel, John J. – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1991
Analysis of 1979-81 data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Men (2,165 subjects) confirms the hypothesis that workers who quit and become unemployed experience larger wage gains when reemployed than those who move directly to another job. Unemployed movers apparently receive wage gains to compensate for higher job search and mobility…

Wellington, Alison J. – Journal of Human Resources, 1991
Using data from 1954-86, including the 1980s period of relative decline in the value of the minimum wage, a study found that a 10 percent increase in minimum wage reduced teen unemployment by less than 1 percent. In addition, no apparent effect on employment of adults aged 20-24 was found, and minimal differences appeared for sex and race. (SK)
