COMPARATIVE STUDY & ANNUAL REVIEW

Pay Developments - 2005
http://www.eiro.eurofound.eu.int/2006/06/update/tn0606101u.html

This review of trends in pay in 2004 and 2005 finds that average collectively agreed nominal wage increases across the EU rose from 4.1% in 2004 to 4.5% in 2005 (though with major variations between countries), reversing a previous steady downward trend. Taking into account inflation, the rate of real increase rose more sharply, from 1.1% in 2004 to 1.9% in 2005. In the EU 15, the average agreed nominal wage increase remained unchanged in 2005 at 3.0% and the rate of real increase fell from 1.0% in 2004 to 0.7% in 2005. However, in the 10 new Member States that joined in 2004, the average nominal increase rose from 5.6% in 2004 to 6.7% in 2005, and the rate of real increase climbed from 1.4% to 3.6%. The overall picture is thus of rather differing overall pay trends in the ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU. This review also looks at collectively agreed pay increases in six selected sectors (metalworking, chemicals, banking, retail, local government and the civil service), increases in average earnings (and current levels), increases in minimum wages (plus current rates), the gender pay gap and labour costs.

Includes numerous TABLES...

The People Perceived as a Threat to Security: Arab Americans Since September 11
By Randa A. Kayyali
George Mason University
July 1, 2006
http://www.migrationinformation.org/Feature/display.cfm?id=409

[excerpt]
Since the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, Arab Americans have regularly been featured in the press as a group "of interest" to many federal agencies, particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Yet government security agencies have recruited them for their language skills ­ the FBI has hired 195 Arabic linguists since 9/11 although other agencies, such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), have not released the number of new hires. Despite demand, the number of recruits is low due to bureaucratic problems and the difficulties Arab Americans face in getting top-level security clearances. Similar to other US immigrant groups in the past, they are viewed as suspect simply because of their origin.

Although the term "Arab American" is often used, it remains misunderstood. Who exactly is an Arab American? Are all Arab Americans Muslim? Has the immigration rate of Arab Americans decreased as a result of 9/11? What has been the net fall-out effect of 9/11 on this group? This article will provide definitions, look at flow data from recent years, and examine the trend of immigration and security policies affecting Arab Americans.



Detailed Characteristics of the Caribbean Born in the United States
By Julia Gelatt and David Dixon
Migration Policy Institute
July 1, 2006
http://www.migrationinformation.org/USfocus/display.cfm?id=408

[excerpt]
This spotlight examines the foreign born from the Caribbean. It is the fifth in a series on the size and characteristics of the foreign-born population in the United States by region of birth.

The Caribbean born make up a small proportion of the overall foreign-born population in the United States. However, the number of immigrants born in the Caribbean has grown rapidly over the past 40 years.

As a group, the Caribbean born are less likely to be proficient in English or have university degrees compared with the overall foreign-born population. However, they are as likely to participate in the labor force as the overall foreign-born population and are more likely to work in sales and office or service occupations. Closer examination of this population reveals a great deal of variation by country of birth.

This series draws primarily from Census 2000 data, including social, economic, and housing profiles of the foreign born developed by the US Census Bureau.

Finland: Fixed-term contracts still common in public sector (03 July 2006)
http://www.eurofound.eu.int/ewco/2006/04/FI0604NU04.htm

Although the use of fixed-term contracts has decreased in Finland since
its peak in 1997, it is still widespread by European standards. A recent
study divides fixed-term employment into two categories: conventional and
modern. Unlike conventional fixed-term employment, modern fixed-term contracts
are used for jobs and tasks that do not intrinsically require them. This
applies especially to women working in the public sector. Moreover, tightened
legislation concerning the use of fixed-term contracts has led to an increased
use of temporary agency work instead.


United.Kingdom: Survey explores age-related policies, practices and preferences (03 July 2006)
http://www.eurofound.eu.int/ewco/2006/03/UK0603039I.htm

In 2006, the UK government published new research examining whether and
to what extent current employment policies and practices may be discriminatory
on the grounds of age. It found that a series of practices – in areas
such as recruitment, pay, training, retirement and redundancy – could
potentially be age discriminatory. Moreover, there is still a lack of awareness
among employers about the Employment Equality Regulations coming into force
in October 2006.


Italy: Changing profile of working time flexibility (03 July 2006)
http://www.eurofound.eu.int/ewco/2006/03/IT0603019I.htm

The second ad hoc Labour Force Survey module on atypical labour contracts
and working time, carried out in 2004, reveals significant changes in the
take-up of flexibility options. A previously widespread use of overtime
has been replaced by part-time contracts and working time flexibility. It
is mainly women who avail of part-time work, although in general part-time
work is less prevalent in Italy than in the EU in general. With regard to
working time flexibility, workers still have little control over their working
time arrangements. These changes seem to be more influenced by the 1997
labour market reform and stagnant economic performance than by the 2003
labour market reform.

A  PAPER, JUNE 2006

The Effects of Liberalizing World Agricultural Trade: A Review of Modeling Studies
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/73xx/doc7352/06-30-Trade.pdf
[full-text, 128 pages]

[excerpt]
A major issue on the agenda of the ongoing Doha Round of multilateral negotiations
by members of the World Trade Organization concerns how and to what extent policies that
affect agricultural trade should be liberalized. For most of the postwar period, the series of
multilateral negotiating rounds under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade allowed policies that distort agricultural trade to continue in large part while tariffs and
other policies that distort trade in other sectors were progressively reduced or eliminated. The
Uruguay Round, which took place from 1986 through 1994, began the liberalization of agricultural
trade; yet tariffs remain much higher, and the use of subsidies remains much more
prevalent, in agriculture than in other goods-producing industries.

In August 2005, in response to a request by the Chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) published a paper that presented statistics
on policies around the world that distort agricultural trade. In December 2005, in
response to the same request, CBO published a paper that surveyed the results of studies that
estimate the economic effects of liberalizing those policies. The December paper was brief,
focusing on the general conclusions that could be drawn from the studies and selected numerical
results to illuminate them. This paper gives a more complete presentation of the numerical
results as well as additional explanation concerning their interpretation. In keeping with
CBO's mandate to provide objective, nonpartisan analysis, the paper makes no recommendations.

HALTE À LA RETRAITE!.......DE LA «CULTURE DE LA RETRAITE»
À LA GESTION DES ÂGES!

200, rue Sherbrooke ouest, salle SH-2800
Montréal, Québec

Les 6 et 7 novembre 2006

(
avec Anne-Marie Guillemard comme conférencière invitée)

Ce colloque s’interroge sur les conséquences du vieillissement de la population, mais plus particulièrement sur les fins de carrières, telles qu’elles sont vécues et telles qu’elles sont souhaitées. Certains se demandent si la codification des savoirs et le Knowledge management n’entraînent pas une substituabilité plus forte entre différentes catégories de main-d’œuvre, un remplacement plus facile des travailleurs expérimentés par des plus jeunes ? Des données seront aussi présentées pour déterminer si les sorties précoces d’activité sont souhaitables, pour les individus comme pour la société. On se demande notamment si le désir de pré-retraite n’est pas lié autant sinon plus à la souffrance au travail, aux mauvaises conditions de travail, à l’absence de formation en emploi, etc. …qu’au vieillissement ? On se demande si de nouvelles organisations du travail et conditions de travail plus souples permettraient d’améliorer la fin de vie active.
