A survey of thirty years of French literature suggests an assessment of the segmentationist perspective today: a compulsory theoretical reference as soon as one debates the varied nature of the employment relationship; and an old-fashioned reference that is now obscured by more general analyses...

The article analyses how the changes in firm's practices and public policies since the 1980s shaped the dynamics of labour market segmentation in France. First, considering firm's human resources practices at the end of the 1990s, on the basis of statistical exploratory analysis, we were able to...

This paper aims at studying the modification of French and British labour market segmentation from years 1980's to 2000's. Based on a multiple correspondence analysis using national labour force surveys in 1982-83 and 2001, we bring to light the evolution from a ternary structure of these...

Drawing on empirical investigations based on national labour force surveys (Enquête Emploi for France, LFS and GHS for The UK) for years 1982-3 and 2001, the aim of this paper is to expose relationships between new external and internal conditions faced by organisations and permanencies and...

In the institutionalist analysis of labour markets, the segmentationist approaches are an interesting tool for understanding the employment models. In this paper we will try to show how these approaches must be adapted to the new labour market phenomena in France and what their impact on the...

Regarding changes in French and British labour market as in their educational system since the Eighties, one may address the evolution of their labour market segmentation. Is the predominance of Internal Labour Market in France and Occupational Labour Market in Great Britain (Eyraud, Marsden,...

The aim of this paper is to compare in an empirical way the male/female wage gap differential between the following two countries : France, an industrialized country where the disparities between sexes are outstandingly small, and Japan, where they are particularly large. It is also proposed to...

This paper combines ISSP survey data and experimental evidence from a gift-exchange game to determine the effect of status or relative income on work effort. We find a strong effect of others' incomes on individual effort decisions in both datasets. The individual's rank in the income...

We develop a tractable general theory for the study of the economic and demographic impact of epidemics. In particular, we analytically characterise the short and medium term consequences of epidemics for population size, age pyramid, economic performance and income distribution. To this end, we...

We propose a dynamic model which deals with the impact of income distribution variations on growth. In that goal, we use two models : the classical Goodwin model (1967) and the Bhaduri-Marglin model (1990), which also focuses on the links between income distribution and growth, but in a...
