China and India represent more than mushrooming factories and low cost semi skilled labor.

There is low labor market for women in the formal sector, but women's share in management positions is worse.

With an unemployment rate of 8.5 , a labor force participation rate of only 64 , and stagnant real wages, labor income has fallen to an historic low of 44 of national income. And labor income is the most important component of household earnings, the major driver of consumption spending.

These figures are only the early warnings of an emerging trend. In the long run, as labor shortages become acute, China will need to relinquish some low end, labor intensive manufacturing activities, which will translate into decelerating export performance and lower economic growth.

Two main factors influence the extent of poverty among Arabs in Israel large families and low income, which is a function of high unemployment rates low wages and a high proportion of single breadwinner families due in part to the low participation of Arab women in the labor force.13

Labor productivity is also quite low For most economies in the region, service sector productivity is less than 20 of the OECD average. Even in South Korea, labor productivity in industry is 118 of the OECD figure, but only 43 of the average for services.

Forced labor!

Forced labor.

These countries had already lost export market shares to China and other low value added and labor intensive Asian economies. Then a decade of nominal wage growth that out paced productivity gains led to a rise in unit labor costs, real exchange rate appreciation, and large current account deficits.

Because labor productivity...

If women in Europe work more hours in better quality jobs, it will stimulate demand for service jobs like cleaning and child care, thus reducing unemployment among low skilled workers. Moreover, the increased supply of high quality female labor will not incur additional healthcare and pension costs, unlike labor immigration.

Liquidity injections and low interest rates have a microeconomic effect that has received little attention they lower the cost of capital vis à vis the cost of labor, which causes a relative decline in demand for labor. This is very likely exacerbating the unemployment problem it certainly is not mitigating it.

These are economies that, even a decade ago, were losing market share to China and Asia, owing to their labor intensive and low value added exports. After a decade that saw wages grow faster than productivity, unit labor costs (and the real exchange rate based on those costs) appreciated sharply.

FI conducted a Training Workshop on UN and International Labor Organization Mechanisms on Trafficking, Bonded Labor and Forced Labor from June 5 7, 2002.

Labor force participation will be key to shaping this environment. As it stands, the low official unemployment rate can be explained partly by declining participation rates, especially among workers aged 25 54.

Women have been seeking work overseas in the hope of gaining better wages, if not better status caused by their low level of education and lack of options in the labor market.

One must also recognize that low labor costs are an essential component of China s competitive advantage. Along with tighter margins, low cost financing, and cheaper materials, this allows Chinese firms to compete for projects with tenders for as little as half the price sought by their Western competitors.

But low levels of labor utilization are largely due to heavier income taxes and social security contributions, as well as high social benefit levels introduced at a time when the labor force was growing rapidly and the need to replace involuntary with voluntary unemployment seemed more urgent than today. These measures will need to be revisited both to increase the supply of labor and to make public finances more sustainable.

Scarce labor drives wages.

First, they were trapped in a vicious circle of low income, low savings and low investment, leading to low productivity and low growth.

The highest levels of mild anxiety were found in the low low stratum, moderate anxiety in the low stratum, and severe anxiety in the low low and medium low strata.

So here is one model economy German labor market policies, Swedish pensions, French low carbon energy, Canadian health care, Swiss energy efficiency, American scientific curiosity, Brazilian anti poverty programs, and Costa Rican tropical happiness.

So a country where labor productivity is low will become an attractive location for foreign direct investment, and the resulting increase in the capital labor ratio will raise productivity. Wherever one looks, using Marshall s toolkit, one sees economic equilibrium pulling things back to normal, compensating for and attenuating the effects of shocks and disturbances.

The trouble is that the bulk of these new technologies are labor saving. They entail the replacement of low and medium skilled workers with machines operated by a much smaller number of highly skilled workers.
