Workers' compensation

rise in flexible working contracts is due to increase. As Pollert (1988) wrote flexibility is an ideological project, as it gives authority to social and economic themes of sovereignty and is able to motivate people to follow them.

Shouldn’t The Gap Decrease With Age? The gap also increases with age. Younger men and women pay gaps are closer together and expand further apart as women get older. Ages 18 to 24 the gap is at 88%, at age 25 to 34 it lessens to an 86% difference, and after age 35 the gap closes to 76% of what men earn (consequences for women). Why would the gap widen with age, when the gap should close because of experience gained? This is because of what people would called the “mommy penalty”. The mommy…

Eliza Strickland, Senior Associate Editor at IEEE Spectrum, acknowledges that a single mother today earns only 60 cents to…

The overtime pay is considered to be one and one-half times the employee’s regular wage. F.L.S.A. provides a set minimum wage that all employees are entitled to, unless the employee…

Foundations of the Capitalist System Trade between people without government involvement has existed for about as long as mankind. The free market idea of capitalism is a much newer concept; it has only formally existed since Adam Smith argued its benefits and efficient ‘invisible hand’ in his 1776 book The Wealth of Nations. Capitalism’s promotion of individual freedom is closely related to the individual freedom the Founding Fathers envisioned for the United States of America in both the…

There exists evidence on minimum wage non-binding and non-compliance To analyze the binding and enforcement of minimum wage, we illustrate the monthly wage distribution for the main job of workers, using the Epanechnikov kernel Density with bandwidth=0.1, and the Viet Nam Household Living Standards Survey 2014 data. Minimum wage is deemed biding if wages in an otherwise continuous distribution are “pulled up” to the level of the statutory minimum. If a minimum is set below the market clearing…
