This study examines the wage differentials between migrant and non-migrant workers. Based on data from Vietnam Migration Survey in 2004, earnings equations with and without Instrumental Variable (IV) are estimated for migrant workers and non-migrant workers. From these results, the study compares the wage structure for migrant workers and non-migrant workers. Oaxaca decomposition of the wage differentials of the two groups workers are carried out.

In this chapter we examine how wages are determined in competitive markets and imperfectly competitive markets. We look at factors that impact wages, including the influence of unions. We will analyze wage differences with union models including craft unions and industrial unions. We will discuss reasons for wage differentials across jobs and analyze the effects of the minimum wage on the labor market.

This theory of the labor market, though widely accepted by economists, is only the beginning of the story. To understand the wide variation in earnings that we observe, we must go beyond this general framework and examine more precisely what determines the supply and demand for different types of labor. That is our goal in this chapter.

Presumably, the amount of observable discrimination against minorities in wages and employment depends not only on tastes for discrimination, but also on other variables, such as the degree of competition and civil rights legislation. However, aside from the important theory of compensating differentials originated by Adam Smith, and a few major studies like Myr- dal’s American Dilemma [1944], there was little else available in the 1950s to build on to analyze how prejudice and other variables interact. ...

The global environment that charac- terises the business world highlights the importance of developing strate- gies that go beyond the geographical boundaries of one country. Wage-rate differentials, expanding foreign mar- kets and improved transportation break down barriers of time and space between countries and force the logistics function to take on a global dimension. Global logistics is the response to the increasing integration of international markets as firms try to remain competitive.

The elderly in India often end up in a state of deprivation and negligence as there is no proper social security system as in the West (OASIS, 1999). The majority of the elderly work in the informal sector with low levels of wages and deficient working conditions and this has also put the aged in a state of deprivation, vulnerability and distress in old age in terms of both health and economic security (Helpage International, 2002). Empirical studies by different researchers have shown a gradual decline in the standard of life of the aged with high...

Because larger firms are much more likely to be covered by collective bargaining contracts and works councils, a closely related issue concerns the independent role of firm size in providing wage insurance. As firm size is typically viewed as a good proxy for capital market access (e.g., Gertler and Gilchrist 1994), insurance contracts should be particularly apparent for individuals working at larger employers.

It also limits their ability to develop livelihoods that do not depend on natural resources, or to obtain wage-earning jobs. Thus, improved access to education is critical to lower rural poverty and decrease the dependence of rural poor on natural resources for their livelihood. In many countries girl children are less likely to go to school, and more likely to drop out early, because of economic and cultural pressures. This differentially affects their livelihood opportunities as they become adults.
