Magistro darbe atlikta 2003 – 2008 metų migracijos ir nedarbo lygio Lietuvoje priežasčių analizė bei numatyta jų priklausomybė vienas nuo kito. Darbe išanalizuoti ir susisteminti įvairių Lietuvos ir užsienio autorių teoriniai ir praktiniai migracijos, bedarbių skaičiaus ir nedarbo lygio duomenys Lietuvoje ir jos apskrityse. Taip pat pateikta duomenų analizė pagal amžiaus grupes, lytį, išsilavinimą, šeimyninę padėtį, emigrantai pagal būsimą gyvenama vietą. Apskaičiuoti atitinkami indikatoriai padėjo įvertinti kai kurių rodiklių reikšmingumą, sudaryti tiesinės regresijos lygtį ir nubraižyti jos grafikus, kurie atspindi prognozuojamą imigrantų skaičių, kai žinomas bedarbių skaičius. Padidėję emigracijos tempai Lietuvoje yra viena iš priežasčių dėl ko sumažėjo tuo metu nedarbo lygis. Taip pat esantis nedarbas yra viena iš migracijos priežasčių, todėl galima teigti, kad migracija yra stipriai susijusi su nedarbu. / In this master’s work the analysis of the reasons of the migration and the unemployment level in Lithuania in 2003-2008 is given. There is discussed the dependence on each other. The data about the unemployment level, about the number of unemployed people and the migration in Lithuania is analyzed and systematized referring to the information from different works of Lithuanian and foreign authors. There is given the analysis of data according to different age groups, sex, education, family status and emigrants according to their living place. Special indicators were calculated and they helped to evaluate the significance of some indexes, to make the equation of the direct regression and to draw its diagrams which reflect the predicted number of emigrants when the number of unemployed people is known. One of the reasons why the unemployment level decreased in Lithuania at this moment is the rise of migration. The unemployment is one of the reasons of the migration, so it can be stated that migration is closely related to the unemployment.

Manufacturing employment in Georgia has declined as thousands of jobs have been lost to foreign suppliers and improvements in productivity. Changes in the state s industrial structure have created mismatches between worker capabilities and the skills required to work in a new field. The transition from a manufacturing to a services economy has strained the ability of many in the state s workforce to acquire to the new job skills demanded by employers. In order to regain employment and maintain former wage levels, structurally unemployed workers need new skills to work new jobs. Unemployed workers sometimes turn to workforce development system (WDS) programs to upgrade skills and provide access to better employment. The purpose of WDS job training services is to facilitate the transition from job loss to stable re-employment. Which job training strategies work or do not work and or for which demographic groups was the focus of this research. The fundamental question posed by this research was, "Can job training help alleviate the adverse wage impacts and time spent in prolonged job search resulting from structural unemployment in Georgia, and if so, which programs work better?" Answering this question requires that structurally unemployed workers in Georgia be assessed with respect to industry, demographics, geography, and Georgia Department of Labor training program exposure as explanatory factors for post-training wage and job search time differentials, both direct indicators of program efficacy to workers. Multivariate regression techniques were used to estimate the impacts of GDOL job training services on workers exiting the state's structurally declining industries and reentering new employment. Among the findings of this research were that: job training was often associated with lower worker wages once re-employed and longer times spent in job search; compared to short-term unemployed workers from declining industries, the long-term unemployed experienced significantly larger adverse wage effects and longer job search times; job training services were found to be most beneficial to workers leaving less-skilled industries and less beneficial to unemployed leaving higher-skilled industries such as manufacturing; and informational job training services were determined to be more cost-effective than occupational skills training.

Unemploynent is a problem that confronts many western countries. The aim of this dissertation is to understand, on the basis of a phenomenological investigation, what it means to be an unemployed, white, South African citizen. These meanings are then seen and discussed against the background of the problems associated with the ideological structure within the country. How the latter relates to white employment and psychological life is also explored. The results demonstrate the negative impact unemploynent has upon the psychological functioning of the individual. The results further show the despair such individuals face, having been 'denied' an accepted role within society.

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar se a probabilidade dos trabalhadores do mercado formal serem demitidos aumenta quando esses são elegíveis ao recebimento do seguro-desemprego. Utilizando da Relações Anuais de Informações Sociais (RAIS), a alteração na elegibilidade ao auxílio promovida pela MP665/2014 permitiu uma estimação de diferenças em diferenças a fim de identificar esse efeito. O resultado encontrado aponta uma queda de 0,73 p.p. na probabilidade de demissão sem justa causa dos grupos que eram elegíveis no período anterior à mudança e deixaram de ser após sua entrada em vigor, em comparação com os não-elegíveis nos dois períodos. A partir desse número, conclui-se que pelo menos 13% das demissões sem justa causa são induzidas. Os efeitos são maiores para os indivíduos empregados em firmas pequenas, que tenham baixa escolaridade e que não estejam no setor de serviços ou indústria. Utilizando a Pesquisa Mensal do Emprego (PME) em uma análise complementar, conclui-se que 34% dos indivíduos que saem do formal para acessar o seguro-desemprego se empregam no setor informal no mês subsequente. / This study investigates whether the probability of Brazilian formal workers being laid-off increases when they are elegible to receive the unemployment insurance. Using an administrative data, Relações Anuais de Informações Sociais (RAIS), for the universe of formal workers, we estimate the effect of a change in the elibility criteria on the probability of lay-off for the workers using a diff-in-diff model. The results point out to a 0,73 p.p. decrease in this probability for groups who were elegible before the change and became inelegible afterwards, in comparison to the non-eligible workers in both periods. We conclude that fake layoffs accounts for at least 13% of total layoffs. The effects are more relevant for workers employed in small firms, with low education level and not employed in service or industrial sectors. In an additional analysis using a survey of labor force, Pesquisa Mensal de Emprego (PME), we find that 34% of workers engaged in fake layoffs are reemployed in the informal sector in the next month.
