This timely book evaluates international human capital policies,
offering a comparative perspective on global efforts to generate
new ideas and novel ways of thinking about human capital. Examining
educational reforms, quality of education and links between
education and socio-economic environments, chapters contrast
Western experiences and perspectives with those of industrializing
economies in Asia, focusing particularly on Korea and the USA.
Contributors analyse trends in Korean education, including state,
charter and private education, higher education and student loans
and debt, and provide policy prescriptions for the improvement of
higher education financing in the USA. Offering theoretical
insights into the relationship between socio-economic and
educational benefits for children and young people, and human
capital formation, further chapters consider recent empirical
evidence on disadvantaged people in the USA, before broadening the
scope of analysis to consider the effects of human capital on
industrial structure and productivity among OECD countries.
Providing a unique and incisive understanding of human capital
formation in the context of education, this book lays out guidance
to scholars and researchers of human capital, particularly those
concentrating on policies in Korea and the USA. It will also be
useful to policymakers involved in economic and education policy.
Holzer (public policy, Georgetown University) and Neumark
(economics, Public Policy Institute of California) collect journal
articles from 1976 through 2000 on affirmative action, narrowly
construed as targeting contractors and broadly construed as
encompassing many anti- discrimination efforts. Articles look at
affirmative action in the labor mark
Sex differences abound in labor markets. In the United States three
differences in particular have attracted the most attention: the
earnings gap, occupational segregation, and the greater
responsibility of women for child care and housework, and
consequential lower participation in the labor market. This volume
brings together David Neumark's work of the past fifteen years: in
it he tries to understand and analyze the relative importance of
family economic decision-making and sex discrimination in
generating sex differences in labor markets. Neumark's research
covers three main levels of inquiry. The first studies
non-discriminatory sources of sex differences in labor markets; the
second grapples with the problem of sex discrimination; while the
third evaluates policies to combat and reduce sex differences in
labor markets.

We estimate the employment effects of changes in national minimum
wages using a pooled cross-section time-series data set comprising
17 OECD countries for the period 1975-2000, focusing on the impact
of cross-country differences in minimum wage systems and in other
labor market institutions and policies that may either offset or
amplify the effects of minimum wages. The average minimum wage
effects we estimate using this sample are consistent with the view
that minimum wages cause employment losses among youths. However,
the evidence also suggests that the employment effects of minimum
wages vary considerably across countries. In particular,
disemployment effects of minimum wages appear to be smaller in
countries that have subminimum wage provisions for youths.
Regarding other labor market policies and institutions, we find
that more restrictive labor standards and higher union coverage
strengthen the disemployment effects of minimum wages, while
employment protection laws and active labor market policies
designed to bring unemployed individuals into the work force help
to offset these effects. Overall, the disemployment effects of
minimum wages are strongest in the countries with the least
regulated labor markets.

Minimum Wages and Employment focuses on the "new minimum wage
research." This is the first comprehensive review of the literature
in the past fifteen years. It includes the initial round of the new
minimum wage research on the employment effects of the minimum
wage, major conceptual and empirical issues that arose out of that
research, recent increases in minimum wage laws, and the empirical
research on the employment effects of the minimum wage in other
countries. Minimum Wages and Employment provides an assessment of
alternative models of the labor market. It offers general
conclusions about the effects of the minimum wage on employment
that are relevant to policymakers, pointing out in what context and
for which workers the minimum wage will have consequences. Finally,
by presenting a comprehensive review of the more recent minimum
wage literature, the authors explain the range of results in the
literature, identify sources of differences in these results, and
determine what conclusions can be drawn from the literature.
