Under-employment: A crisis hangover, or something more?

Duncan MacDonald

No 234, OECD Social, Employment and Migration Working Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This paper examines how the increase in under-employment since the financial crisis stems from both cyclical and structural factors, notably the gradual shift of employment toward more demand-driven service sectors. The increase in under-employment has disproportionately affected young, female and low-skilled workers, meaning that they face lower wage growth, particularly at the bottom of the income distribution.
