Earnings Losses of Older Displaced Workers: A Detailed Analysis with Administrative Data
Couch, K. A., Jolly, N. A., Placzek, D. W. Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0000
This article provides detailed estimates of earnings losses of older workers (aged 40 years and older) who experience mass layoffs relative to a continuously employed comparison group. The analysis made use of information from the unemployment insurance system for the state of Connecticut. These administrative records contain payroll information for virtually all workers in the state and, relative to previous research on the basis of survey data, contain many more instances of workers displaced because of mass layoffs. These data provided the basis for detailed, disaggregated estimates by age, gender, and industry of employment. The estimates indicated that earnings losses associated with displacement rose sharply with age and were larger for those subsequently reemployed in different industry sectors. These findings are consistent with the idea that earnings decline following displacement due to losses of firm-specific human capital. Earnings reductions were larger for men than women but were proportionately very similar.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Challenge of Population Aging
Neumark, D. Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0000
The author reviews evidence on age discrimination in U.S. labor markets and on the effects of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) in combating this discrimination, focusing on the challenge of population aging facing the U.S. economy in coming decades. Combating age discrimination is likely to help in meeting this challenge by encouraging the employment of older individuals. But the author also explores how the rapid aging of the population protected by the ADEA might inhibit the ADEA's effectiveness and raises questions about possible changes in age discrimination policies and enforcement that could enhance the ability of the ADEA to mitigate some of the adverse consequences of population aging.
