Structural Transformation and the Demand for New Labor in Advanced Economies: Interwar Britain
研究两次世界大战间英国繁荣与萧条地区的产业转型,发现扩张行业主要吸纳新类型工人而非被淘汰的出口行业失业者,基于年龄、性别、新进入者和行业间流动数据。
In prosperous and depressed areas sectors of industry representing structural transformation in interwar Britain tended to draw upon new types of workers rather than upon workers displaced in declining export industries. Data on the age and sex composition of people in expanding and declining industries, on new entrants to the labor force, and on interindustry mobility are examined to support this claim. The process reflects a general tendency of capitalist economies to grow through incorporation of new elements.
