Segmentation in the Market for Child Labor
Recent events have focused attention on international labor standards, with some special attention being paid to child labor. The diverse forms of child labor are often merged into one: a stereotype of "children sewing Nikes," although the situation varies widely from that model. Certain forms of child labor are not substitutable by adult labor; others are more appropriately modeled as a form of apprenticeship. A simple family utility function he…
Labor Market Underpinnings of a Caste Economy
Previous modellings by Akerlof and Scoville of a caste based economy, exemplified historically by India-in which occupations are hereditary, compulsory, and endogamous-are reviewed and contrasted, Coase/North arguments are advanced about the possible bases for labor market segmentation which would render such a caste-type system immune to erosion by labor market competition. Historical and contemporary evidence is presented to support these argum…
Double Shift
In words of George F. Kennan, Russia remains a region where the conflicts of outlook and persuasion have been as violent as any seen in our century. As crisis follows crisis, Western observers find tragic complexities and cruel paradoxes of post-totalitarian Russia no less mystifying than those they encountered during Soviet era. Looking beyond horizon and cutting beneath headlines, in Remaking Russia eighteen distinguished essayists of diverse b…

Data on traditional sector incomes for 40 urban areas are assembled from a variety of sources; the quality of these data and needs for future data collection …

Education and Training Requirements for Occupations
IN the May, 1964 issue of this REVIEW, R. S. Eckaus presented estimates of general and specific education and training requirements by industry.1 For the analysis of projected demands on the educational system, it may be more useful to have such data on an occupational basis as technological change is not usually conceived of as neutral with respect to the component occupations of an industry. It is the purpose of this article to present such dat…
