A Pew Research poll published last month indicated that more than half of all adults in the U.S. labor force had experienced some "work-related hardship" — a period of unemployment, a pay cut, a reduction in work hours or an involuntary move to part-time employment — since the recession began in December 2007.
Hence, we look at the relationship between early retirement and technical change across education levels, occupations, sectors, marital statuses, cohorts, age groups, genders, periods of permanence in the labor force, and training experiences.
We also argued in Section 3 that young mothers might have to quit the labor force if they experience a severe illness themselves.
On the other hand, young mothers might also have to quit the labor force if they experience a severe illness themselves that requires childcare help from grandparents or in-laws, which would underestimate the effect of grandparental childcare use on mother's labor force participation.
Our study provides the first comprehensive estimates of these impacts for China, which has a large labor force and whose experience may be relevant for several other emerging markets.
This is a part of the labor force that isn't experiencing rising longevity, and it is more reliant on Social Security than the population as a whole.
With an increase in the participation of women in the labor force, the economy will experience a reduction in poverty rates.
This is significant: Where women's participation in the labor force grows fastest, the economy experiences the largest reduction in poverty rates.
The difference between job growth of 1.66 million jobs and job growth of 2.26 million jobs is the difference between an economy creating insufficient jobs to absorb labor force growth and an economy experiencing healthy employment growth.
In column (3) of Appendix B: Table 4 we divide our measure of technical change by the number of years that individuals spend in the labor force, that is, the sector experience.
