Job creation and job destruction in the UK manufacturing sector

Article Abstract:

Job creation refers to the total of all employment gains in growth sectors compared to the total economy. In contrast, job destruction refers to total employment losses in declining sectors compared to the total economy. Together, these two variables account for net job flows which, in turn, reveal changes in economic structure. A survey of 993 manufacturers in the UK reveals an inverse relation between job creation and job destruction. The sum of these two factors, job reallocation, is counter-cyclical. These findings are compared to US employment data.

On labour market policies and aggregate unemployment outflows

Article Abstract:

The research studied the influence of labour market policies (LMPs) such as training programmes and unemployment compensation on unemployment exit rates. It assessed job competition for vacancies between groups of job seekers based on Belgian data over a 30 year period. The study also showed that a number of variables are integrated of order 1 based on the tests. In addition, classical econometric and cointegration approaches have been formulated to assess the relation of conclusions to the methodology used.
