Precarious employment and workplace health outcomes in Britain
Precarious employment may become ever more prevalent as organizations contend with economic fallouts from shocks such as Brexit or Covid-19. This may lead to sub-standard health outcomes. The positive influence of trade unions on working conditions has largely been decimated and the workforce in Britain is ageing. These combinations may pose significant challenges to public health including mental health crises. Public policy ought to help minimi…
Men, women and unions
The paper examines whether workplace gender dynamics contributed to the decline of unions. To this end, it reviews relevant literature and proposes three hypotheses, which it then tests using alternative empirical analyses and data from Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS) and British Social Attitudes Survey (BSAS). The results from employee‐level analysis reveal that, compared with women, (i) men were significantly less likely to have ne…
Organisational accreditation, workforce training and perceptions of performance
The paper examines if the ‘Investors in People’ (IiP) organisational accreditation scheme promoted worker training and organisational performance in Britain using a panel of organisations. DID matching estimators relating to both employee‐ and employer‐assessed training outcomes revealed that IiP status promoted workforce training, but only for private sector organisations. Conversely, losing the status was not found to have a significant trainin…
School Meals and Educational Outcomes in Rural Ethiopia
We investigate the relationship between providing school meals programmes and educational outcomes in Ethiopia. Using data from school catchment areas across rural Ethiopia, the paper examines the role played by programme modalities and their implementation. The results indicate that supplementing on-site school meals with take-home rations can be beneficial for concentration, reading, writing and arithmetic skills. The timing of the distribution…
Union decline in Britain
The paper examines if workplace gender diversity offers some explanation for the decline of unions in Britain. Using the WERS 2004 linked employer–employee data and alternative econometric estimators it reports an inverse relationship between workplace union density and gender diversity. Gender and ownership status based sub‐group analyses suggest the inverse relationship to be stronger for male union members and those in the private sector. Gend…
Ethnic and Gender Differences in Intergenerational Mobility
This paper uses the traditional income framework and a non‐monetary framework to estimate intergenerational mobility in economic status for a sample of 26‐year‐old whites, blacks and Hispanics in the USA using data from the first and fifth sweeps of the National Educational Longitudinal Study (1988 and 2000). Intergenerational income mobility is found to be greater for males than for females, although there are differences between whites, blacks …
