When We Were Humans
Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go has been the subject of a range of interpretative approaches, from posthuman readings of the clones’ predicament to disabilities studies readings interested in the novel's relevance to questions of eugenics. The novel, in much the same way as When We Were Orphans, The Buried Giant, and Klara and the Sun, has also prompted heated debate about Ishiguro's use, or misuse, of genre conventions. Here, engaging with the …

Rates of Return to Degrees across British Regions
O'Leary N. C. and Sloane P. J. Rates of return to degrees across British regions, Regional Studies. Earlier papers have found considerable heterogeneity in the returns to degrees in relation to subjects of study, degree classification and higher education institution. This paper examines heterogeneity of returns across British regions using the Labour Force Survey. It finds substantial regional variations in the financial rewards available to gra…
Disability, Gender and the Labour Market in Wales
Jones M. K., Latreille P. L. and Sloane P. J. (2006) Disability, gender and the labour market in Wales, Regional Studies 40, 823–845. Wales exhibits high rates of disability and inactivity, and a higher incidence of mental health problems than other parts of Britain. Using data from the Welsh Local Labour Force Survey, 2001, the results indicate that the low participation rate of the disabled in Wales is partly attributable to their having fewer …
Gender Differences in Educational Attainment
This paper examines the determinants of gender differences in educational attainment using data for all university graduates. We find that, although women students perform better on average than their male counterparts, they are significantly less likely to obtain a first class degree. There is no evidence that this is because of differences in the types of subject male and female students study or in the institutions they attend, nor does it ref…
Non‐pecuniary Advantages Versus Pecuniary Disadvantages; Job Satisfaction Among Male And Female Academics In Scottish Universities
This paper considers job satisfaction in the academic labour market drawing upon a particularly detailed data set of 900 academics from five traditional Scottish Universities. Recent studies have revealed that in the labour force as a whole women generally express themselves as more satisfied with their jobs than men. Our results show that reports of overall job satisfaction do not vary widely by gender. This result is explained through the natur…
Low Pay and Earnings Mobility in Europe
This study asks whether it is possible for low-paid workers to obtain higher paid jobs through mobility within the earnings distribution. Based on fresh empirical evidence from 13 European countries, the book focuses on earnings mobility, as an issue of increasing concern to policy-makers
Job Satisfaction, Trade Unions, and Exit-Voice Revisited
Many studies have found that unionized workers express less job satisfaction than nonunion workers. The "exit-voice" explanation of this phenomenon is that dissatisfied nonunion workers tend to quit, whereas dissatisfied union workers tend to remain in their jobs and express their complaints through various voice mechanisms provided by their union. Furthermore, this "voiced" dissatisfaction, animated by the hope of effecting change, is said to be…
A Generalised Lorenz Curve Approach to Explaining the Upward Movement in Women's Relative Earnings in Britain During the 1970s
The earnings of women rose sharply relative to those of men in Britain during the 1970s. As this was contemporaneous with the introduction of equal pay legislation, most previous authors have attributed virtually the whole of the improvement to this legislation. This paper casts doubt on this interpretation by estimating generalised Lorenz curves for male-dominated, femaled-dominated, well-integrated, and nonmixed occupations by industry groups o…

The Measurement of Sex and Marital Status Discrimination at the Workplace
This paper attempts to measure market discrimination against women, defined as receipt of unequal pay for equal productivity, at the level of the establishment.1 Such measurements are of relevance to current policy since, for example, the Sex Discrimination Act (1975) empowers the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) to undertake investigations of establishments where there is reason to believe discriminatory practices are taking place. The first…
