THE IMPACT OF LABOR MARKET REGULATION ON EMPLOYMENT IN LOW‐INCOME COUNTRIES: A META‐ANALYSIS

Controversy over labor market policy often centers on achieving a balance between preventing worker exploitation, and avoiding loss of productivity or employment through excessive regulation. Although the literature documenting the impact of labor market regulation on employment is extensive, there is a dearth of evidence on the impact of such policies in low‐income countries (LICs). Since it is easier for workers, especially women, to slip into the informal sector in LICs, regulations are likely to have stronger impacts on formal employment in these countries (but lower impacts on unemployment). We systematically reviewed available research from countries that are, or were until recently, LICs. Most studies document that more stringent labor regulations are associated with lower formal sector employment and higher informal sector employment. We also conducted a metaregression analysis of the impact of minimum wages on formal and informal employment. After controlling for publication bias, higher minimum wages are associated with lower formal employment and a higher share of informal workers.     

试论魏晋南北朝的辞章理论成就

我国魏晋南北朝是古代汉语辞章学的奠基时期:在体式、风格方面,已开始区分文与笔;出现了中国古代辞章学第一篇综合性的文论——魏·曹丕《典论·论文》;以荀粲为代表的言不尽意说、以王弼为代表的得意忘言说、以欧阳建为代表的言尽意说的言意论以及许多名家各具代表性的辞章理论,如晋·陆机《文赋》、葛洪《抱朴子》、南朝·梁·刘勰《文心雕龙》、钟嵘《诗品》、萧统编辑的《文选》等都对后世辞章理论与实践作出重要的贡献,产生深远的影响;尤其是南朝·梁·刘勰《文心雕龙》是第一部最全面、最系统、体大思精的中国古代辞章学专著,堪称中国古代辞章学的奠基之作。

发达国家移民政策中的人才筛选及启示

发达国家移民政策中引进的人才可分为基于国家战略需要的杰出人才、基于劳动力市场需求的高技能人才、基于人力资本存储形式的潜人才和基于国家经济发展需要的创业投资人才等四类,这四类人才的筛选原则是：特殊贡献和学术机构推荐、移民职业清单和积分评估、学历层次和学术成就、经济贡献等.我国应当借鉴发达国家移民政策人才筛选的成功经验,引入积分评估制度,适当放宽技术移民的筛选条件,完善投资移民的评估体系.
