Unemployment duration and the measurement of unemployment

We propose a framework in which the welfare bases of various unemployment measures available in the literature can be analyzed and a decomposition of these measures can be made into aggregate unemployment and the concentration of its distribution. A set of axioms for an unemployment measure is then introduced, which relate to the sensitivity of an unemployment measure to the inequality in the distribution of the unemployment. An unemployment measure is derived on the basis of these axioms that captures the distributional considerations in the measurement of unemployment.      

The ratification of ILO Conventions and the provision of unemployment benefits: An empirical analysis

This article tests the relationship between the ratification of International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions and the provision of unemployment benefits. Statistical tests focus on two related issues: why countries ratify ILO Conventions on unemployment benefits, and whether ratification influences government spending on unemployment benefits. The main findings are that democracy, region, income, and globalization are the main factors influencing why countries ratify ILO Conventions on unemployment benefits. In turn, the ratification of ILO Conventions is systematically associated with higher spending if countries have ratified more than two Conventions.

我国经济转型期大学毕业生失业状况分析

大学毕业生失业是市场经济的产物。与其他商品经济国家一样,我国在经济转型过程中,也出现了大学毕业生失业现象;越来越多的毕业生失业对个人、家庭和社会产生了不良的影响,也造成人力资源和教育资源的极大浪费。降低大学毕业生的失业率将随着下岗就业问题的淡化而日益突显为社会就业的主要矛盾,理应引起政府、教育部门和社会各界的极度重视。文章分三个部分来阐述,首先概述我国当前大学毕业生失业状况,然后探析经济转型期大学毕业生毕业即失业的根源,最后提出适合我国国情的、解决毕业生就业的策略性建议。

大学生就业的结构性矛盾分析

大学生就业问题是一个社会问题，当前大学生就业不仅是供过于求的问题，还有结构性问题及岗位的供给相对不足问题。解决大学生就业矛盾，首先必须解决劳动力技能培养与社会需求不匹配之间的矛盾。     

隐性采访的合法性问题探讨

隐性采访是非公开身份或采访目的而进行的收集或披露新闻素材的方式,它能真实地采访到公开方式难以获得的新闻素材,将社会丑陋现象曝光,满足了受众的知情权,增强了舆论监督的力度,因而受到各新闻媒体的普遍青睐。但同时,隐性采访是否合法,作为舆论监督手段是否值得提倡的疑问也在学界存在。隐性采访有一定的法律基础,对隐性采访可以有条件地合法化,即隐性采访必须在法律允许的范围内,在道德的约束下采用,必须对其进行严格的限制和规范。     

失业与通货膨胀的跨期替代——评2006年诺奖得主埃德蒙•费尔普斯的学术贡献

作为一名杰出的经济学家,2006年诺贝尔经济学奖得主埃德蒙·费尔普斯的一个重要学术贡献体现在对失业与通货膨胀方面的创新性分析上,包括建立“孤岛模型”,对菲利普斯曲线的修正以及自然失业率的提出等。他的理论研究加深了人们对于通货膨胀和失业之间的跨期替代关系的认识,并对经济学研究和经济决策产生了决定性的影响。     

战型文本:现代汉语诗学话语的重要文本形态

现代汉语诗学话语,是在与敌对阵营的艰苦斗争和同一阵营的互相辩驳中发展壮大的。在此过程中,现代汉语诗学留下了数量可观的"战型文本"。其中,有针对性极强的显性战型文本,也有暗中较劲的隐性战型文本。在显示出针对性与尖锐性的同时,战型文本也暴露出有所偏颇甚至极端偏激的不足。产生大量战型文本的原因,一是为了抢夺与捍卫话语统治地位,新旧诗学之间必然爆发话语战争;二是新诗学战胜旧诗学之后,为瓜分话语权力必然爆发内部话语冲突。     

Leisure Activities in Unemployed Emerging Adults: Links to Career Adaptability and Subjective Well‐Being

The present study examined if frequency and quality of 3 types of leisure activities (i.e., relaxation, achievement, and social) can function as protective factors for subjective well‐being (SWB) and career adaptability (CA) among 184 unemployed emerging adults (84 women, 100 men). Participants responded to measures of leisure frequency and quality, SWB, and CA. The results of a multivariate analysis of variance indicated that the frequency of relaxation, achievement, and social leisure activities had no effect on SWB and CA. However, regression analyses indicated that the quality of social leisure activities significantly predicted SWB and the quality of achievement and social leisure activities significantly predicted CA. The quality of relaxation leisure activities was not associated with SWB and CA. Findings indicate that counselors who work with unemployed emerging adults can use leisure activities to promote SWB and CA. Future research to better understand the role of leisure in well‐being and career development among emerging adults is encouraged.
