  • Why inequality could spread Covid-19

    Open AccessFaheem Ahmed, Naeem Ahmed et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Public Health2020

    Pandemics rarely affect all people in a uniform way. The Black Death in the 14th century reduced the global population by a third, with the highest number of deaths observed among the poorest populations.1 Densely populated with malnourished and overworked peasants, medieval Europe was a fertile breeding ground for the bubonic plague. Seven centuries on—with a global gross domestic product of almost US$100 trillion—is our world adequately resourc…

  • Understanding Unemployment

    Christopher Pissarides, Jonathan Wadsworth et al.BOOKUnderstanding Unemployment2013

    Britain remains an 'economy of unemployment', symptomatic of an inefficient labour market founded on inequalities of locality, sex, race and age. This offers a new multidisciplinary perspective on the nature of a continuing crisis.

  • Labour Flexibility and Wages

    Open AccessSamuel Bentolila, Juan J Dolado et al.ARTICLEEconomic Policy1994

    Spanish labour markets Samuel Bentolila and Juan J. Dolado Temporary jobs have been on the rise in Europe, partly in response to firms' desire for higher flexibility in employment, and partly because flexibility is widely believed to help bring down unemployment. However, the flexibility gained through temporary contracts hardly affects the core of permanent employees. Instead, temporary jobs result in the emergence of a dual labour market. Worse…
