The Incidence of Visible Underemployment: Evidence for Trinidad and Tobago
研究了特立尼达和多巴哥显性就业不足的发生率,发现这类工人教育水平较低、多在私营部门工作,且仅约50%能在三个月内找到全职工作。
This article presents an empirical analysis of the incidence of visible underemployment in Trinidad and Tobago. Visible underemployment consists of workers who work less than the normal duration of working hours but are willing and available to work more. We find that compared to other groups of the labour force the visibly underemployed tend to be less educated and are more likely to work in the private sector. We also find that their revealed behaviour is consistent with their desire for more hours. Only about 50 per cent of the visibly underemployed are able to find full-time employment within three months and little except firm size helps predict who will.
