Emigration and wages in an open economy: some evidence from Pakistan.

"This paper examines the impact of labour emigration on the wages of both the skilled and unskilled workers....Using... Pakistani data, it is found that unskilled labour is used extremely intensively in the agriculture sector (exportable), skilled labour is used extremely intensively in the manufacturing sector (importable), and capital is used as the middle factor in both the traded goods sectors. Moreover, capital is used significantly less intensively in the construction (non-traded) sector relative to both the traded sectors.... The results suggest that the higher wages to both the skilled and unskilled workers must be compensated by a reduction in the rate of returns to capital if export-oriented and import-competing sectors in Pakistan are to remain internationally competitive."

[Tuscan emigration from 1860 to 1914: rhythms and flows].

"The article describes the phenomenon of permanent outmigration from the Apennine regions [of Italy] (particularly from the provinces of Massa Carrara and Lucca) and analyses its causes and transformation from a localized exchange of labor (seasonal farmworkers, and peddlers) to the massive movement towards the end of the last century. At the same time, similar patterns were also occurring in the region's lowlands. The study attempts to distinguish the demographic, sociological and professional characteristics of these population movements and presents their preferred destinations between the middle of the 19th century and the first World War."

International labor migration through multinational enterprises.

"This research studies international migration of company transferees. The main purposes are to address how their individual characteristics have influences on their overseas assignment and what kinds of migration patterns are created by the multinational business enterprises. U.S. firms in Taiwan are the primary study focus. By using both quantitative and qualitative data, the results show that although an overseas appointment is mainly based on individual competence, nationality, ethnicity and gender also play crucial roles. And multinationals are important channels for sustainable, return and circular migration."

The role of socioeconomic factors in the survival of patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

The relations between type of occupation, marital status and residential area and survival from gastrointestinal cancers were examined among 4485 cases of stomach cancer and 2618 cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed between 1983 and 1988 and recorded in the Aichi Cancer Registry. In univariate analyses, the cumulative five-year survival rates of both cancers were highest among professionals and managers and lowest among service workers, in males. They were highest among professionals, managers and clerical workers and lowest among housewives, in females. For both men and women, single people had a lower survival rate than married, and patients living in a metropolis had a higher survival rate than those living in other areas. Multivariate analyses, based on Cox's proportional hazards model, revealed occupation to have a statistically significant effect on prognosis for both sexes, although the effect of extent of disease was definitive. The analyses also confirmed the unfavorable effect of a single marital status and the favorable effect of residing in a metropolis, in women. The results suggest that socioeconomic factors may have a role to play in the survival of patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

A preliminary study into stress in palliative care: optimism, self-efficacy and social support.

Caring for the terminally ill is a demanding, but rewarding area of health care. Stressors unique to this working environment--dealing with patient death rather than cure, and supporting entire family units, for example--put caregivers at risk from stress related illness. This study investigated the buffering effects of optimism, self-efficacy and social support against two measures of stress within the palliative setting. Comparisons were made between volunteer (n = 18) and professional (n = 18) caregivers across three caregiving settings. Data were collected retrospectively about personal control variables; use of and satisfaction with, social support; and, perceived general and occupational specific stress levels. Differences in reported stress levels were found both between settings (NHS, hospice and community-based) and between caregiver type (salary status and occupational category). Optimism was more strongly and consistently associated with low levels of perceived stress than was self-efficacy. Satisfaction with social support was highest among paid workers, and in terms of buffering stress in the whole sample, appeared mediated by optimism. Worksite interventions targeting caregiver self-efficacy and optimism are recommended as a potential source of stress management within this population.
