. Should poverty researchers worry about inequality ?, A. Barrientos, Brooks World Poverty Institute, Manchester, BWPI working paper, n° 118, May, 29 p., (2010).

Résumé - Summary : The paper constructs a case for arguing that poverty researchers need not worry about inequality (as poverty researchers). It reviews conceptualisations of poverty as essentially relational, a particular reflection of prevailing inequalities. In this approach, people are in poverty because they are less well off than others along important dimensions of wellbeing. As against this view, the paper constructs a case for studying poverty as non-relational. In this approach, people are in poverty because they are worse off than they might have been along important dimensions of wellbeing. The argument is developed in the space of justice, and by reference to prioritarian approaches. Some implications of adopting a prioritarian perspective on poverty are briefly discussed. A Note discusses counterparts to this argument in poverty analysis.

Résumé - Summary : Job quality is a multidimensional concept, but the empirical analysis of job quality in Europe leads to three main types of result. First, it reveals important differences across countries, with four main regimes prevalent in Europe. Second, it supports the hypothesis that a higher level of job quality is associated with better labour market and economic performance. Finally, it emphasises the heterogeneity of quality across social groups, especially according to gender, age, and education.

. Looking beyond the bridge : How temporary agency employment affects labor market outcomes, E. J. Jahn and M. Rosholm, Institute for Employment Research, Nüremberg, IAB-discussion paper, n° 9/2010, 39 p., (2010).

Résumé - Summary : We perform a comprehensive analysis of the stepping-stone effect of temporary agency employment on unemployed workers. Using the timing-of-events approach, we not only investigate whether agency employment is a bridge into regular em-ployment but also analyze its effect on post-unemployment wages and job stability for unemployed Danish workers. We find evidence of large positive treatment ef-fects, particularly for immigrants. There is also some indication that higher treatment intensity increases the likelihood of leaving unemployment for regular jobs. Our re-sults show that agency employment is even more effective in tight labor markets, where firms use agency employment primarily to screen potential candidates for permanent posts. Finally, our results suggest that agency employment may improve subsequent match quality in terms of wages and job duration.

REVENU - INCOME

. Complementing or replacing old age insurance ? The growing importance of funded pensions in the French pension system, M. Naczyk and B. Palier, Reconciling Work and Welfare in Europe, Edinburg, Working paper, n° REC-WP 08/2010, 43 p., (2010).

Résumé - Summary : The French pension system has for long been characterised by its very low reliance on funded pensions, which have almost become a taboo subject since the Second World War. While other countries have often complemented statutory pensions with funded occupational pension schemes, in France, the social partners have put in place an encompassing network of supplementary pension arrangements financed on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis. The generosity of these schemes and their defence by trade unions and part of the business community has considerably limited the room for expansion of funded pension schemes. However, the role played by these supplementary PAYG schemes has significantly changed over the last two decades. First, the gradual harmonization of rules within the different schemes and their compliance with EU social security regulations are leading to their quasi “first-pillarization”. Second, similar to statutory pensions, these schemes have also undergone gradual retrenchment and will offer reduced replacement rates. As a result, the development of pension savings has been implicitly promoted, although more on a voluntary basis than on a compulsory one. Despite a unification in the regulatory framework governing funded – occupational and personal – pension plans, access to these schemes remains mostly limited to high-skilled workers.

 Propriété immobilière et trajectoires salariales : quelles leçons tirer de la comparaison France-Etats-Unis ?, C. Brunet, N. Havet et J-L. Lesueur, Gate, Ecully, Working paper, n° 1011, mai, 27 p., (2010).

Résumé - Summary : L'étude empirique proposée dans cet article s'inscrit dans la lignée des travaux portant sur les effets des choix résidentiels sur la qualité de l’insertion professionnelle sur le marché du travail. Elle se concentre en particulier sur la population en emploi et cherche à connaître l'influence du statut résidentiel sur les salaires individuels, qui est a priori ambiguë. D'une part, la propriété immobilière peut, en réduisant la mobilité et la taille du bassin de nouveaux emplois envisageables, diminuer les opportunités d’accroître son salaire ; d’autre part, les propriétaires peuvent faire jouer des réseaux sociaux plus importants et faire valoir une plus grande stabilité professionnelle auprès de leurs employeurs, ce qui est bénéfique pour une promotion salariale interne éventuellement assortie du financement d’une formation interne. Nous utilisons la partie française du Panel Européen des Ménages 1995-2001 et les données américaines du Panel Survey of Income Dynamics 1994-1999. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les propriétaires bénéficient, toutes choses étant égales par ailleurs, d’une prime salariale en France par rapport aux locataires, alors qu’aux Etats-Unis, les rémunérations des deux groupes sont en moyenne équivalentes. Ces résultats remettent en cause l’hypothèse d’Oswald selon laquelle la propriété immobilière serait néfaste aux performances sur le marché du travail.

Résumé - Summary : This study provides an overview of a broad range of existing measures that go beyond gross domestic product (GDP) to offer a more complete and accurate picture of how a society and its economy are faring. Based on a review of the literature and an analysis of major arguments and rationales for moving beyond GDP as a measure of national well-being, this report identifies 14 categories of national well-being. It synthesizes hundreds of indicators found in 28 reports that present alternative indices and systems of well-being into 79 indicators organized under these categories.
