This volume contains new important research on worker well-being in
a changing economy. Topics include employee compensation, human
capital investment, women's wages, unemployment, and the effects of
government policies. Among the questions answered are: Does
free-trade (particularly regarding NAFTA) affect women's wages
relative to men's? Can guaranteeing college scholarships raise high
school students' grade-point averages? Does increasing wage
dispersion within a plant induce workers to put out more effort; or
does it decrease comradery among employees, thereby lowering
productivity? Does deferring worker pay really affect productivity
on the job? Do firms manipulate fringe benefits (job
characteristics) to adequately compensate workers for dangerous
jobs? Do business cycles influence the terms of effort-enhancing
labor contracts? How can workers signal their potential quality
when displaced by plant closings? How severe are the detrimental
effects of long-term joblessness? And finally, how do changes in
welfare laws affect recipients' time allocation at home?
