Presentation title: Too Little, Too Weak? Paid Parental Leaves and Workers’ Bargaining Response
Abstract: When statutory work and family entitlements are deemed insufficient, how do workers respond and compensate? Looking at some advanced economies points us to an idea – unionization may secure better conditions and higher benefit entitlements than what is statutorily guaranteed. However, the universality of this “success story” is far from established, particularly in contexts where unions play a less salient role and parental leave laws are perceived as weakly enforced, as is the case in many developing countries. In this paper, we construct a novel dataset of all private sector collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in the Philippines from 2016-2021 to: (i) descriptively show the prevalence of paid parental leaves (PPLs) in CBAs; (ii) assess whether wage increase provisions crowd-out PPLs in CBAs; and (iii) analyze the causal effect of a 2019 maternity leave reform, which increased leave entitlement from 8 to 15 weeks, on the inclusion of PPLs in CBAs using two quasi-experimental identification strategies. Results suggest that around 65% of CBAs contain reinforcing provisions that merely restate statutory leave entitlements, while only 5% contain augmenting provisions that secure more leaves. Meanwhile, we find no evidence that either the inclusion of wage increase provisions or the 2019 reform has crowded out PPL provisions. On the contrary, we find a crowding-in pattern – wage increase provisions at the extensive and intensive margin are associated with a higher probability of PPL inclusion. Unpacking potential mechanisms, semi-structured interviews with union leaders and negotiators lend support to a bounded augmentation hypothesis such that where compliance and enforcement of family policy laws are perceived as weak, redundancy is as much of an objective as augmentation is in collective bargaining.

Presentation title: Institution Matters: University Establishments and Childhood Maltreatment
Abstract: The prevalence of violence against children is a global concern, and addressing this urgent issue requires serious consideration. Based on the evidence from child trafficking, which is recognized as one of the most severe forms of childhood maltreatment, this paper proposes that the establishment of nearby educational institutions could have a substantial impact on reducing violence against children. Exploiting a quasi-experiment in China that exogenously led to the establishment of more campuses in 1999, this study investigates that the university establishments can lead to a decrease in the number of missing children. Our mechanism demonstrates that the university’s establishment leads to improved economic development, increased public safety, and changes in family behavior, resulting in a reduction in criminal activities. Our findings reveal the unintended effects on children following the implementation of social facilities, which can serve as a hidden means to combat violence against them.

Presentation Title: A New Insight into the Measurement of Household Well-Being for Vulnerable Economies: Evidence Using Pakistan’s Labor and Diet Data.
Abstract: Well-being is a multidimensional concept that includes various aspects of life, such as physical, emotional, and social well-being. Indexes like the Human Development Index and the Multidimensional Poverty Index are popular global measures of well-being that use indicators like education, health, and living standards. Food insecurity and lack of decent work are two key factors that significantly contribute to the deprivation of household well-being. Lack of decent work leads to low wages, long working hours, unsafe work environments, and other factors that can negatively impact the workers’ physical and mental health. Similarly, food insecurity is associated with malnutrition, poor health outcomes, and a reduced quality of life. We construct a novel index to incorporate the dimensions of labor and diets. Using the nationally representative PSLM/HIES (2018–19) data, we build a multi-dimensional well-being index (MWBI) for different occupational groups in Pakistan. We use the Alkire and Foster methodology to find the deprivation of well-being across regions, provinces, sectors, PSCO-major classes, skill levels, and industries. Our findings reveal that 26 percent of the households perform poorly on multi-dimensional well-being. Rural areas are twice as deprived as urban areas. KPK province is the most deprived, while Punjab is the least. Female-headed households are worse off than male-headed households. Household heads employed in the agriculture sector, working in PSCO-class ‘elementary occupations,’ possessing skill level 1, or in the arts, entertainment, and recreation industry are the worst performers. Household heads employed in the non-agriculture sector (0.23), PSCO major group of clerical support workers (0.08), possessing skill level 4 (0.11), or in the industry of real estate are the least deprived. Our policy recommendations are to ensure wages exceed the minimum wage and promote skilled work. Focusing on the interplay of labor and diet is pivotal to promoting well-being in vulnerable economies.
GLO Fellow Richard A. Easterlin (University of Southern California), the intellectual giant of population economics, passed away at the age of 98 on December 16, 2024. Population economists will miss his spirit, inspiration, support, and friendship.
The Easterlin hypothesis is a theory of fertility preference formation, which suggests that fertility cycles depend on the changing aspirations of young people and intergenerational relative income across cohorts. The economic and social outcomes of a cohort are inversely correlated to its size. Easterlin attributes this to material aspirations formed during adolescence using parents’ economic outcomes as a benchmark. Large cohorts growing up in prosperous times develop high income aspirations, facing poorer prospects due to crowding in family, education, and labor markets. Larger cohorts often result in more siblings, thus diluting parental time and resources. Entry of large cohorts into the labor market leads to lower relative wages and higher unemployment. Consequently, such cohorts feel deprived and may exhibit lower birth rates, leading to smaller succeeding cohorts with lower material aspirations. This cohort size effect generates long-term fertility trends and shifts in labor and goods markets.
The Easterlin paradox explains why, contrary to expectations, happiness at the national level does not necessarily increase with income over time. While cross-sectional analyses within countries show that higher income correlates with greater happiness, time-series analyses reveal that economic growth does not necessarily increase happiness. Comparatively, when basic needs, such as clothing, nutrition, and housing are met, national income has little impact on happiness. Easterlin suggested that relative income and aspiration processes explain this paradox. Once basic needs are satisfied, further increases in absolute income do not enhance well-being, unless they improve one’s relative societal position. Additionally, a higher income often raises income and consumption aspirations.
Dick Easterlin has been an author (see (9) below) and long-term Associate Editor of the Journal of Population Economics. He has been the only person in the history of the journal who was honored by an interview (see (8) below with free PDF access). Over the decades, a huge amount of research related to his work has been published in the journal (see (6) and (7) as examples below).
Research by Richard Easterlin and Gary Becker were the major sources in my population economics class in my time as Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in 1987.
During my tenure as Founding Director of IZA, I was chairing the IZA award committee deciding to honor Easterlin with the IZA Prize in 2009 and was co-editing his Oxford University Press prize book (see (4) and (5) below). The official 2009 IZA Prize Ceremony took place on October 22 in Washington, DC, where I met him last time in person. I remember the moving celebrations well.
The Journal of Population Economics has established a special collection of work on Wellbeing and Happiness and the Springer Nature Handbook of Labor, Human Resources and Population Economics has an own section on Welfare, Well-Being, Happiness to publish work in his tradition (see (2) and (3) below).
In 2022, Dick Easterlin co-authored a chapter on The Easterlin Paradox in the Handbook of Labor, Human Resources and Population Economics (see (1) below with free PDF access). This paper was GLO Discussion Paper No. 743, 2020.
With tremendous respect, we will always remember his path-breaking work and great personality.

Europe decided to abolish daylight saving time in 2021, since the save energy impact is debatable; but so far concrete actions remained elusive. Here is some scientific evidence.
Abstract: This chapter describes the regulations on daylight saving time (DST) in Europe and the United States, with an emphasis on their historical evolution, current policies, and possible future changes, namely the abolition of the two-phase time arrangement. The chapter also documents the highly heterogeneous perception of the policy among citizens, which is often supported more by individual beliefs than by scientific evidence. The scientific evidence on the causal impact of DST on various outcomes, such as energy consumption, human health, well-being, risky behaviors, and economic performance, is examined. The variability in results reported in the literature may be attributed to differences in the population of interest, the outcome under consideration, and the identification strategy adopted. The chapter concludes by suggesting possible extensions to the literature.
Based on natural experiments: Stratified demographic analyses for Indiana/USA indicate that daylight saving time had reduced mortality among males, females, and whites, but only among those aged 65 years and older. For Montevideo/Uruguay research identified a strong and statistically significant decrease in robbery. Two articles in the Journal of Population Economics, issue 3/2022, present these research findings.

Yinjunjie Zhang (Jacquelyn) is a research fellow affiliated at Arndt-Corden Department of Economics and Tax and Transfer Policy Institute in Crawford School of Public Policy at Australian National University. Dr Zhang obtained her PhD at Texas A&M University in 2018. She has her research interest spanning the areas of labor economics, public economics, and experimental economics. A common thread is in understanding the impact of public policy on people’s behavior, choice, and welfare. She has published research articles in peer-reviewed economic journals and worked on a range of research projects aimed at providing insights on social policies and labor market outcomes.
Robert Breunig is the director of the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at the Crawford School of Public Policy. He is one of Australia’s leading Public Policy Economists. He has published in over 50 international academic journals in economics and public policy. Professor Breunig has made significant policy impact through a number of his research projects: the relationship between child care and women’s labor supply; the effect of immigration to Australia on the labor market prospects of Australians; the effect of switching to cash from food stamps in the U.S. food stamp program and the inter-generational transmission of disadvantage. Professor Breunig’s research is motivated by important social policy issues and debates. His work is characterized by careful empirical study and appropriate use of statistical technique.
We explore the relationship between heterosexual partners’ relative income and the incidence of both domestic violence and emotional abuse. Using Australian data drawn from society-wide surveys, we find women who earn more than their male partners are subject to a 33% increase in partner violence and a 20% increase in emotional abuse compared to mean levels. We show the relationship between relative spouse income and female partner abuse is best modelled by a binary variable that captures “female breadwinning.” This finding differs from those of some earlier studies that considered only serious abuse and found a continuous negative relationship between female partners’ relative income and abuse. Instead, our findings suggest a mechanism related to gender norms generating domestic violence. We find no link between relative income and abuse of male partners.

Reflections and debate on the 40th Anniversary of the School of Labor and Human Resources of Renmin University of China. A large day-long event took place on October 4, 2023 at Renmin University, Beijing, China. Since its creation, GLO had annual research conferences with the School, the 6th RUC-GLO conference took place on October 7-8, 2023. However, GLO President Klaus F. Zimmermann had organized international collaborations and exchange with the School already over a period of three decades before in his previous roles as Founding Director of IZA Bonn (for two decades) and his tenure as Professor and Director of SELPO at the University of Munich (in the decade before).
Consequently, the GLO President was one of the main (and the only foreign) speakers among a long list of distinguished authorities during the morning (19 speeches) congratulating the School for its rise to excellence, success and international recognition. Zimmermann said: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations on your decades of escalating success! The success reflects your commitment to advancing science, particularly in the field of economics through research and policy advice. Your contributions through international visibility and collaborations are commendable. Since its establishment in 1983, the School has grown into a leading institution in labor research and education in China with global recognition. One of its notable achievements includes the creation of China’s first research program for a PhD degree in labor economics in 1994, among many others. The School has made significant strides in areas such as employment, income distribution, labor relations, human resource development and management, social security, and more.”
The presentations in the afternoon discussed the evolution of the discipline and the contributions the School was engaged with. In this context, Klaus F. Zimmermann gave a speech on “Family Economics: From Constraints to Preferences and Stereotypes” reviewing also the collaborative work he has done and is still doing with Chinese researchers. He further detailed the long-term contacts he has been involved with and thanked in particular former Dean Xiangquan Zeng and current Dean Zhong Zhao for the many years of successful collaborations.
In a special speech, Dean Zhong Zhao honored Xiangquan Zeng and Klaus F. Zimmermann in the name of the School for their long-term strong efforts to foster scientific collaborations with a certificate (see below).
On Friday October 6, 2023 Xiangquan Zeng gave an opening speech at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Chinese Labor Society which also took place at Renmin University of China. Klaus F. Zimmermann was invited to deliver a keynote lecture on “Migrant Local Identity and Labor Market Success”.

The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the way people live and work, revealing itself both as a health and a socioeconomic crisis. Specifically, we have witnessed a change in the place of work: due to the movement restrictions, working from home (WFH) has massively grown. As the emerging scientific literature is pointing out, this has had numerous impacts on the local labour markets.
This special session aims at debating this issue across different perspectives: WFH impacts on workers, employers and territories.
Specifically, we welcome submissions interested in, but not limited to, the following research questions:
To submit an abstract, we ask for a brief description of the theme and content you would like to present (max 250 words). The abstract should also include a (working) title, up to 5 keywords, your name, and your co-authors, if applicable. Remember to indicate your interest in submitting for special session SO.11.
We appreciate a maximum of two abstract submissions per person.
Upload your abstract online until 28 February 2023.

The dramatic global challenges request close collaborations between scientist around the world and those interested in evidence-based policymaking supporting global welfare. GLO has a particular mission for this. The event serves this purpose.
But 2022 is also the year of Jacob Mincer’s 100th birthday, 30 years after the Nobel Prize for Gary Becker in Population Economics; it completes 35 years of publishing the Journal of Population Economics (JOPE) and 5 years of GLO; and the world population reached 8 billion on November 15. Good reasons for reflecting the path of the discipline.
