Presidential Address 2022: Economic Development and the Organisation Of Labour: Evidence from the Jobs of the World Project
介绍了世界就业项目这一公共资源,通过整合115个国家1990年后的数据,分析就业性质与分配如何随财富、性别和发展阶段变化,揭示微观差异导致的人力潜力浪费,连接个人贫困与国民收入。
Abstract The Jobs of the World Project is a public resource designed to enable research on jobs and poverty across and within countries over the entire development spectrum. At its core is a new dataset assembled by harmonising Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and National Censuses (IPUMS) for all countries and all years after 1990 where data is available. The current version covers 115 countries, observed four times on average. We use the data to show how the nature of jobs and their allocation vary within countries by wealth and gender and across countries by stages of development. We discuss evidence that shows how disparities at the micro level lead to a misuse of human potential that links individual poverty to national income.
