A dynamical model of labor-market change in international labor migrations when demand for labor is exogenous

Labor-exporting countries. Portugal in International labor migration in Europe.

The effects of rapid increases in labor supply on service employment in developing countries
Effects of a Colombian civil war (1948-1958) on the structure of employment and earnings in Bogota. The resulting increase on labor supply has little effect on the share of services in the labor force. It suggests that the service employment may
be a poor indicator of demand and supply conditions for labor in developing countries. (MG).

The impact of the changing international division of labor on the labor force in mature industrial regions in South Africa in the global division of labor.

Northern settlement family-style: labor planing and population policy in Noril'sk
Without adequate housing and services, serious problems arise in holding labor resources in one location for any length of time. This is true particularly in Noril'sk, a mining-metallurgical center in northern Siberia. Forced labor, used initially
to meet city manpower needs, has since been augmented by wage increments designed to recruit and maintain a largely voluntary labor force. Continued high labor turnover during the 1960s, however, compelled planners to accelerate improvements in housing
and services. Such improvements promoted labor retention and, in a perverse way, overpopulation. Recent policies advocate productivity-enriching technologies not requiring increments in the labor force. (This is the latest in a series of articles on Noril'sk

Sources of labor productivity in Bangladesh agriculture
The only possible explanation for labor productivity growth appears to be selective modernization of agriculture, largely based on land augmenting modern inputs. The output per unit of land greatly increased and made possible the expansion of higher
market value crops, without any increase in labor input.

Disentangling the interaction of migration, mobility, and labor-force participation
The AA. examine the impact of mobility on the labor-force status of two-earner households in the United States, in a longitudinal context. A comparison of the impact of mobility on the labor-force status of men as well as women is needed. The AA
. directly compare this status of dual-earner households who migrate long distances, with that of households who move within the same labor market, and with that of households that remain residentially stable. Although there are disruptive effects

From a geography of labor to a labor geography : labor's spatial fix and the geography of capitalism
of capitalism or have conceived of them in a passive manner. The first part is a critique of how labor has been conceptualized in both neoclassical and Marxist inspired economic geography. The second part attempts to outline a way in which a more active sense

Territorial reproduction and transformation in a local labor market: the animated film workers of Los Angeles
The paper opens with a brief account of the economic and technical characteristics of the animated film industry. The geographical outlines of the local labor market for animated film workers are described. It is demonstrated that there is a trade
-off between commuting distances and wage rates in this labor market. The relations between labor turnover, employment, and location are examined, and it is hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between high turnover rates
and the geographical agglomeration of employment places. It is indicated that animated film studios are in practice engaging in strategies of the redeployment of production capabilities and this is leading to a marked transformation of the local labor market

A prism for contemporary capitalism: temporary work as displaced labor as value

Community unionism in Canada and labor's (re)organization of space
examples of Canadian labor unions actively seeking formal coalitions with groups peripheralized by the same processes of economic restructuring are presented. The cases of Canadian postal workers and homeworkers in the garment industry demonstrate
that alternative approaches to labor organization can overcome the imposed spatial reorganization of capitalism and allow workers and communities to produce more preferable economic geographies.

Labor recruitment in Taiwan: a corporate strategy in industrial restructuring
This paper is based on a recent nationwide survey concerning industrial responses to rising labor costs and shortages. Four types of corporate strategies are discussed: the recruitment of part-time workers, the importation of foreign workers
, the provision of training for employees, and the substitution of labor with automation. All four strategies are increasingly being practised.

Disguised unemployment in agriculture, often seen as the cornerstone of development economics, is questioned in this article. Empirical evidence is presented first. Next a theoretical model of the farm family as the source of labor supply
and the farm demanding labor as an imput is deducted. However, the demand for labor by the farm is competing with labor demand for production of non-agricultural products. Perfect factor markets are analysed as well as imperfect markets with their implications
