Service sector is the lifeline for the social economic growth of a country. It is today the largest and fastest growing sector globally contributing more to the global output and employing more people than any other sector. Services sectors have become more important in recent years as advances in technology have permitted new means of providing services across borders. The growth in output in the sector in recent times has mostly come from the rapid development of skill intensive services in the information technology and professional service segments, mostly oriented toward the external market. This study investigates to growth, contribution and development of services sector in Indian economy. Further this study discusses to economic policy and impact of services sector.

The subject of research is the theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of services sector development in the national economy. The purpose of the article is to identify the features and contradictions of services sector development in the economy of Ukraine. The methodological basis of the study is general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge, conceptual terms of modern economics, and scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the functioning and development of the services sector. The methods of induction and deduction, unity of historical and logical, comparative analysis are used in the work - at revealing the basic tendencies and contradictions of services sector development, substantiation of the essence of service, its specific signs, and classification characteristics. Results of work. The tendencies of services sector development in the economy of Ukraine are determined. The intensive development of the Ukrainian services sector started only with the beginning of the market relations formation. In the economy of Ukraine, there is a strong tendency to exceed the total contribution of the services sector to national GDP against the contribution of industrial production and agriculture. Besides, the dynamics of the employment structure of Ukraine by economic activity types shows that the share of the economically active population working in the services sector is much higher than in primary and secondary sectors with a steady upward trend. The volume of capital investment in the services sector exceeds these indicators for both spheres of material production. There is a constant growth of intermediate consumption of services as necessary production resources. The main areas for attracting investment resources are capital-intensive industries, at the same time the level of investment activity in the areas of knowledge-intensive services is threateningly low. The expenditures on services consumption in the general structure of household expenditures are insignificant. The Ukrainian economic system is export-oriented in the sphere of services and has a positive foreign trade balance in services. Field of application of results. The conclusions and results obtained in the article should be used in the educational and scientific process of economic faculties of universities, in the activities of service enterprises as well. Conclusions. The industrial specialization of the national service sector, its focus on low- and medium-tech capital-intensive industries, low share of household expenditures in the service sector, the tendency to neglect the intellectual development of the individual, and insufficient attention to innovative economic development make it possible to determine the current state of and trends of services sector development as a quasi-post-industrial, where the absolute numerical indicators have already been achieved, and qualitative indicators of development are remaining at the industrial level.

The role of the service sector in the economy is increasing in the process of socio-economic development. This tendency has been confirmed and explained by the three-sector theory formulated by A.G.B. Fisher, C. Clark, and J. Fourastie. The main goal of the paper is to show development tendencies in service sectors in Poland and the EU countries and assess them in view of the three-sector theory. The share of the service sector in the total employment and in the total gross value added in the years 2005-2013/2014 will be analysed together with two sub-sectors including market and non-market services. The research shows that the share of the service sector in total employment and total gross value added has been recently increasing in Poland as well as in other EU countries, but there is a gap in this process between Poland and the most developed EU countries. Moreover, in Poland, the role of market services has been recently increasing much faster than the role of non-market services.

Bantaeng Regency, one of the regencys in South Sulawesi Province, has some potential economy sectors to be developed. In order to know those potential economy sectors, one of the economy analysis which can be used is the Location Quotient analysis. In this research, the analysis will use Static Location Quotient (SLQ) and Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ). The SLQ method is used to determine the base sectors (leading sectors) in Bantaeng Regency at one period of time. While DLQ method is used to determine whether a sector that is superior over a period of time are leading sectors for the period of time that will come. The analysis showed that in the year 2013-2014 the Trade and Retail sector; Car and Motorcycles Repair sector; Real Estate sector; Government Administration sector; Defence and Compulsory Social Security; and Other Services Sector is the leading economy sector in Bantaeng Regency. And in the year 2014-2015, the Trade and Retail sector; Cars and Motorcycles Repair sector; Real Estate sector; Service Sector Health and Social Work; and Other Services Sector is the leading economy sector in Bantaeng Regency.

Full textAbstract:
The number of research studies has been conducted over the importance of service and construction sector in an economy and confirmed that these two sectors are always being closely associated to the aggregate economy and play crucial role in the socio economic development of a country. The objective of this study is to examine the link between the construction and service sector of Malaysia during the last two decades by using time series econometric analysis. The Granger causality approach is used to obtain the objective of the study. The results of the study suggest that there is a uni-directional (one way) association between the service and construction sector in Malaysia i.e. construction sector to service sector. The construction sector plays a significant role to motivate the economic activities of the service sector in Malaysia and the service sector take 6 months (two quarters) to absorb the impact of a shock coming from the construction sector. The results of the study are important and useful for developing future policies for the construction and services sectors of Malaysia. The results are also important and informative for interested parties of the sectors.

Does the growth in non-agricultural sectors spill over to the agricultural sector of an economy? There is limited evidence available on the issue for the developing world, especially for Pakistan which has undergone large structural changes since its independence. This study examined the impact of sectoral growth linkages on agricultural output of Pakistan for the period of 1960–2016. We have estimated an econometric model which incorporates inter-sectoral linkages of Pakistan economy using a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Our analysis revealed that the economy of Pakistan has shifted from an agricultural dominant economy to services-based economy during the past six decades. Results of VECM show that the industrial sector has a negative impact on the performance of agricultural output whereas services sector is influencing the output of agriculture sector positively in the long run. Short run results show that industrial sector is affecting the performance of agricultural output positively whereas services sector is influencing the output of agriculture sector negatively. Negative impacts of industry in the long run and services in the short run imply that agricultural sector should be given its due share in public investment and the role of middle man should be minimised at the time of sale of agricultural production in the markets.<br />

Full textAbstract:
The services sector has grown phenomenally over the past decades and accounts for more than 60 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the developed economies. The most marked change in the structure of developed economies in the twentieth century, particularly in the later half, has been the transformation from an emphasis on the manufacture of physical goods to the production of intangible services. The work force distribution is also more for service sector. The present study is to identify the role played by service sector in the economic development of any country. India is no exception to this paradigm change. While a little over a decade ago the three main sectors of economic activity-agriculture, industry and services- had roughly equal shares in the GDP, the service sector has now left the other two far behind. According to the national income estimates for 2020, the GDP is 54.77% and 32.33 % share in total work force distribution. The study relates to the service sectors share in GDP and through which increase in Employment rate in service sector. The study also enlightens upon the importance of services in Banking sector, a major contributor in Services sector. Banking is considered as mirror of economy. The study is based on mainly on secondary data from the websites, international journals, and blogs. The study is descriptive and various descriptive statistical methods are followed for better analysis of the data.

Full textAbstract:
The impact of coronavirus on the socio-economic development of Russian regions inevitably depends on the structure of their economy, which is analyzed in the article on the basis of official data on the employment structure. The contribution of different sectors of the economy (primary, secondary, and tertiary), the role of informal employment and the budget sector, and the share of employment in the most affected industries are evaluated. Not only short-term, but also long-term structural problems of the regional economy are highlighted. It is shown that the negative impact of coronavirus mainly on the service sector in the context of the Russian Federation subjects is evident in federal cities, in economically underdeveloped regions with an underdeveloped real sector of the economy, as well as regions that specialize in certain types of services (tourism, foreign trade, complex services). For economically underdeveloped regions, the impact of coronavirus is deepened by a high share of the informal sector (which limits the possibility of obtaining state support), but is softened by an increased share of employees who receive wages from the budget system. The reduced share of the service sector in agricultural regions means that they are less dependent on coronavirus, but it confirms the need to develop the service sector as a basis for improving the quality of life of the population. At the same time, almost everywhere there is a need to restructure the service sector: reducing the role of simple services (primarily trade), in favor of complex ones related to high technologies and innovations and to the social sphere, especially health.

The study objective was identification of the service industries that determine the rate and lines of development of a knowledge-based economy. The analysis covered the EU member countries and the years of 2008-2012. This report consists of four sections. The first one provides the characteristics of a knowledgebased economy and describes the role of services sector in progressing towards this stage of development. The second section offers a classification of services that led to establishing the category of knowledge-based services. The industries classified as knowledge-based services contribute directly to the creation, processing and distribution of knowledge throughout an economy. The following part presents a division of the EU member economies into four groups, depending on their advancement towards the knowledge-based economy as defined by two indices: the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) and the Knowledge Index (KI). The study concluded on empirical verification of the significance of knowledge-based services within individual European economies. In a knowledge-based economy, where knowledge is the key factor in gaining a competitive advantage, it is just the services related to knowledge acquisition, distribution and creation that drive the economic growth. The development level of service activities classified as knowledge-based services largely determines the economy’s performance in knowledge creation, distribution and use. This is so because these activities directly contribute to the economy’s competitive advantage based on knowledge.

Resumo: A mudança estrutural pode ser entendida como uma transformação de longo prazo da estrutura produtiva de um país estando, portanto, intrinsecamente relacionada ao desenvolvimento econômico. Nesse processo, os setores e as atividades produtivas crescem a velocidades diferentes, alterando assim a sua participação na geração do produto e do emprego agregados. Nas últimas décadas, iniciou-se um debate, não apenas nos países desenvolvidos, mas também em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, sobre a ocorrência de um processo de desindustrialização dessas economias, dado pela retração do setor industrial em contrapartida à expansão do setor de serviços. Considerando que, dentro deste debate, o setor de serviços foi analisado como uma categoria residual, composto por diversas atividades muito distintas entre si e que não se encaixavam na classificação de agropecuária ou indústria, sua análise de forma agregada pode ser problemática, levando a resultados e conclusões imprecisos. Sendo assim, esse trabalho se propõe a analisar de forma detalhada o setor de serviços no Brasil no período entre 2000 e 2012, compreendendo melhor a sua estrutura e a sua dinâmica, contribuindo também para qualificar essa mudança estrutural e seus impactos sobre o desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro
Abstract: Structural change can be understood as a long-term transformation of the productive structure of a country, intrinsically related to economic development. In this process, the sectors and productive activities grow at different rates, altering its participation in the generation of output and employment aggregates. In recent decades, began a debate, not only in developed countries but also in developing ones, such as Brazil, on the occurrence of a process of deindustrialisation of these economies, given the decline of the industrial sector in contrast to the expansion of the service sector. Whereas, within this debate, the service sector has been analyzed as a residual category, composed of several very different activities that did not fit in agriculture or industry classification, the analysis of aggregate form can be problematic, leading to inaccurate results and conclusions. Thus, this study aims to analyze in detail the services sector in Brazil between 2000 and 2012, to better understand their structure and its dynamics, also contributing to qualify this structural change and its impact on Brazil's economic development

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the effects of international capital flows on economic growth by using a dynamic general equilibrium framework based on a three-sector Ramsey Model. In order to detect the impact of financial integration on production, allocation of resources across three sectors and consumption, two different economic environments are modelled. While the first model represents a closed economy with financial autarky, the second model examplifies a financially integrated open economy with partial capital mobility. Each of the models is calibrated to Turkish economy based on the data of the year 2006. The simulation results demonstrate that the presence of international capital flows, despite being limited by a borrowing constraint, reverses the impact of economic growth on production and resource allocation. It is found that even though the importance of production in tradable-goods sector diminishes in the absence of international capital flows, it increases in the open economy model. Moreover, the findings show that while production in the closed economy model simply adjusts to domestic demand, that of the open economy model is not constrained by it. This can be explained by the augmentative effect of partial capital flows on the impact of foreign demand on domestic production.

Resumo: Esta tese trata de questões referentes ao papel de determinados serviços no desenvolvimento econômico. No caso da experiência brasileira, o desenvolvimento do Terciário no contexto da recente reestruturação econômica teve participação importante. Na década de 1990 a economia nacional foi palco de grandes transformações, nas quais alguns serviços reestruturados e/ou "modernizados" e mais dinâmicos permitiram maior agilidade econômica. O reordenamento da economia nacional e as novas formas de inter-relacionamento setorial vêm exercendo efeitos sobre a localização de muitas atividades econômicas, abrindo novas janelas de oportunidade. Temia-se que essas transformações levassem à "desindustrialização" e uma concentração do PIB e das ocupações nas macro-regiões e nos estados mais desenvolvidos (notadamente os que apresentam as maiores estruturas industriais). Mas a análise dos dados sobre o crescimento do PIB no Brasil nos leva a crer numa forte interdependência dos serviços com o desempenho da Indústria e da Agricultura. Não há elementos suficientes para afirmar que tenha havido uma autonomização apontando um rearranjo no qual o Terciário passe a ditar a dinâmica do desenvolvimento econômico. A evolução das ocupações mostra um crescimento maior justamente de serviços distributivos e produtivos, fortemente influenciados pelas atividades produtivas industriais e agroindustriais. Mesmo que se trate de uma estratégia de redução de custos frente à elevada tributação da folha de pagamento, isso não afasta as evidências de que a sinergia de determinados serviços com outros setores da economia não tenha aumentado consideravelmente nas duas últimas décadas. Quanto à concentração regional foi possível constatar uma redistribuição do PIB (IBGE) e das ocupações (PNAD/IBGE) em direção das macrorregiões periféricas. O papel dos setores recentemente reestruturados do Terciário nacional nesse processo é o objeto de estudo dessa tese. Esses setores fortaleceram seu poder de influir no desenvolvimento econômico setorial e regional do Brasil. Mas mesmo esses setores tendo aumentado sua contribuição ao crescimento do PIB do Brasil, este aumento foi pequeno perto do aumento das ocupações (PNAD) nos grupos de apoio a produção a que pertencem (serviços distributivos e serviços produtivos) e o aumento das ocupações nos setores tradicionais foi muito elevado (serviços coletivos e serviços pessoais).
Abstract: The following thesis discusses some issues on the role played by some specific kinds of services in economic development. Within Brazilian experience, the Tertiary Sector development was very significant in the context of recent economic restructuring. Through the 1990's Brazilian national economy was a scenario of great transformation in which a few restructured and / or modernized, more dynamic services made room for greater economic agility. National economy's rearrangement and the new features of economic sectors inter-relations have been causing impacts on economic activity location and presenting new opportunities. One feared these transformations would cause "de-industrialization" and GDP and occupational concentration on more developed macro-regions and states (especially within those which hold the biggest industrial structures). But analysis on Brazilian GDP growth data leads to the finding of great service interdependency regarding Industry and Agriculture economic performances. There are no sufficient elements to support the theoretical point of view that there has been a tertiary self-determination, a change towards an economic arrangement in which the Services Sector would guide the dynamics of economic development. Labor market behavior shows a higher occupational growth precisely on productive and distributive services, which are strongly influenced by industrial and agri-industrial productive activities. Even when that kind of behavior is guided by a firm strategy of cost reduction - due to high payroll taxation - it does not erase strong evidence of increasing synergy between certain services and other economic activity sectors in the two last decades. As to regional concentration of economic activities, it has been possible to identify redistribution of GDP (IBGE data) and occupations (PNAD-IBGE data) towards peripheral macro-regions. The role of recently restructured activities of the national Tertiary Sector within that process of change is the aim of this thesis. These activities have strengthened their power of influence on Brazilian sector and regional economic development. Despite having an increased in Brazilian GDP growth, these tertiary activities are more significant when it comes to their higher labor increased (PNAD-IBGE data), i.e., the volume of occupations provided by production-support service activities (distributive and production services); and the increase of occupations in the traditional sectors was high to (collective and social services).

Previous issue date: 2011-03-13This thesis deals with the expansion, changes and spatial configuration of the service s sector in the State of Goiás from the 1999-2008. It examines the relationship between this expansion, growth and the desconcentration of industrial activity of the state, during this period, with a focus on spatial dynamics of these two movements. For that analyzes the characteristics and evolution of different types of services comparing them with the profile of the industrial structure and considering the movement of the polarization of the Goiânia city economy. It was verified that the spatial distribution of service activities in their expansion followed the path of the industry reveals, however, a greater degree of initial concentration and a greater resistance to decentralization. The research also showed a difference between the dynamics of the various types of services, revealing that the productive services, unlike the others, it had increased its concentration in the expansion, crowding, especially in the metropolitan region. On the other hand personal services were the most decentralized in relation to the metropolitan area, responding to population expansion and improvement of income in the emerging industrial centers of the state. The segments in the strategic location of knowledge-intensive industries, the most modern of productive services, proved to be the most concentrated. They had, however, some devolution, revealing that the industry of the state, especially the agro-industry, increasingly it calls for more sophisticated services. It was also explained that small deconcentration of services was limited, even more strongly that the industry in a limited number of municipalities. The relative distribution between the service activities in the municipalities is related to the type of industry, its expansion and diversification, degree of local roots, as well as the position of the municipality in the process of polarization of economic activities in the State of Goias.
Esta Dissertação trata da expansão, transformações e configuração espacial do setor de serviços em Goiás no período 1999 a 2008. Ela verifica a relação entre essa expansão o crescimento e a desconcentração da atividade industrial do Estado nesse período, com foco na dinâmica espacial dos dois movimentos. Analisa as características e evolução dos diversos tipos de serviços cotejando-as com o perfil da estrutura industrial e considerando o movimento de polarização da economia goiana. Buscou-se suporte nas teorias clássicas sobre o setor de serviços, decomposto em quatro seguimentos, e na teoria de desenvolvimento regional, para, posteriormente, trabalhar os dados referentes ao setor de serviços e da indústria, da Relação Anual de Informações, do Ministério do Trabalho e do PIB dos Municípios, da Seplan-Go. Desse modo, constatou-se que os serviços em Goiás, considerando a evolução das ocupações, possuem certa relação com a indústria. Quanto à concentração regional, dos três setores, os serviços possuem maior concentração espacial, superando a concentração industrial. As aglomerações empresariais dos serviços são articuladas e diversificadas com atividades específicas da indústria, principalmente com atividades relacionadas à tecnologia. A distribuição espacial das atividades de serviço em sua expansão acompanhou a trajetória da indústria revelando, entretanto, um maior grau de concentração inicial e uma resistência maior à descentralização. Os segmentos mais modernos dos serviços produtivos, estratégicos na localização das indústrias intensivas em conhecimento, revelaram-se os mais concentrados, principalmente na região metropolitana. A distribuição relativa entre as atividades de serviços nos municípios se relaciona com o tipo de indústria, sua expansão e diversificação, grau de enraizamento local, bem como com a posição do município no processo de polarização das atividades econômicas no Estado de Goiás.

Mestrado em Economia Internacional e Estudos EuropeusA importância que a economia atribui à vertente geográfica nos modelos económicos é frequentemente diminuta ou inexistente e menor ainda na análise do sector terciário, muitas vezes preterido a favor do sector industrial. O presente trabalho visa contribuir para um maior enfoque no sector terciário enquanto factor preponderante da localização económica. Para o efeito, analisa-se a evolução da localização do sector terciário na União Europeia, entre 2000 e 2007, recorrendo aos indicadores de Gini, de Herfindahl e de Krugman e alcançando-se 2 importantes conclusões. No período em análise, assiste-se a uma ligeira dispersão do sector terciário e constata-se que existem fluxos de actividade económica a actuar, não simplesmente entre o centro Europeu e a sua periferia, mas também entre os países no centro da Europa e entre os países na periferia Europeia.
The importance that Economics gives to the geographic dimension in economic models is frequently small or inexistent and even more negligent in the analysis of the tertiary sector which is more often than not, pretered in favour of the industrial sector. This work intends to give the tertiary sector a higher degree of visibility as a vital factor in economic localization. As such, we study the evolution of the localization of the tertiary sector in the European Union, between 2000 and 2007, using the indexes of Gini, of Herfindahl and of Krugman. In the period under analysis, a slight dispersion of the tertiary sector is found and we notice that flows of economic activity exist not only between the centre of Europe and its periphery but also between the countries at the core of Europe as well as between the countries in its periphery.

Full textAbstract:
The services sector accounts for approximately 70% of South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP) and has emerged as one of South Africa's key exports with regional and global destinations. The sector is also a key provider of employment registering just above 8.5 million jobs in March 2014, according to Statistics South Africa. It is for this reason that the sector has been earmarked to give the required impetus to realise the export driven growth, which underpins the current government strategy for economic development and growth. Using the mining services sector, as a case study, this study highlights the importance of services, as an important input to operating costs in the production and manufacturing sectors. It further highlights the importance of services in determining the competitiveness of the manufacturing and production sectors, through effective sourcing and more importantly availability. This is done in the context of the growing African market, especially the mining sector and the opportunities presented by new mineral discoveries in Africa. This study is presented to support the development of a strategic and comprehensive trade strategy for services. Tracking the development of South Africa's trade policy, the rationale for the different positions that have been taken by government are presented to illustrate how government has used trade policy as a tool to advance its objectives at varying stages of South Africa's economic development. The study thereafter undertakes an analysis of the current trade policy to better understand how government view the role that is to be played by trade policy in supporting economic development. This analysis identifies gaps within the current trade policy in terms of the role that trade policy ought to play.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the problems associated with the future economic and social development of a small economy - Bahrain. Bahrain has adopted an industrialisation strategy to diversify the economy since the sixties. The outcomes of that strategy were encouraging at first, but were not sustainable in the long- run. Since the early eighties, changes in the external and internal situations have triggered a debate, which called for a review of the strategy. This study has two-fold objectives. The first is to contribute to the early conclusion of the debate on the to be taken for the future economic development of Bahrain. The second is to discuss the possibilities of adopting a services sector led strategy for the economic development of the country. The study emphasises two important factors which debate on the strategy has not given special attention to. The first is that Balirain has unique features because of its' smallness. The second is the important of utilising and analysing the sectoral and subsectoral data to become to a more objective conclusion about the role of industrial or/and services sector. The study capitalised on the small economy concept. The small island economies have especial natural and characteristics as compared to large economies. The small island economies differ in terms of population size, land, natural and financial resources, small domestic market and etc. This has made these countries to be more depended on the regional and international market for both exports and imports. These have profound implications to the countries in pursuing their economic and social development objectives. Politicians as well as economists in formulating policies for future economic development have overlooked this uniqueness. Notions of unbalanced growth and the theory of the leading sector are relevant to the development of a small island economy. But concepts such as self-reliance and the theory of dependency are not. Economic integration among countries, especially among developing countries has accelerated economic development. For a small economy, economic integration is imperative, whatever form it may take.

Zubiri-Rey, Jon Bernat. "L'emploi des jeunes : vecteur de recomposition des économies salariales de services : étude sur la précarisation et la segmentation des relations salariales en Rhône-Alpes." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016GREAE007/document.
Full textAbstract:
En Rhône-Alpes l’économie se spécialise de plus en plus dans différentes activités de services – notamment de consultance et d'assistance, santé-action sociale, commerce, hôtellerie-restauration et services opérationnels– et dans la construction. La précarisation de l’emploi – comprise comme la combinaison persistante des bas salaires et de l'instabilité du poste– touche, aussi bien en France qu'en Rhône-Alpes, spécialement les jeunes salarié-e-s. Loin de se limiter à une période transitoire, cette précarisation se développe dans la vie sociale et professionnelle de segments importants de la population laborieuse. À partir des Déclarations Annuelles de Données Sociales (DADS), nous avons analysé la recomposition des rapports entre les groupes d’âge et de sexe, ce qui évidence les tendances générales de la région et les particularités sectorielles de la segmentation des relations salariales. Trois éléments – l’âge, le sexe et le secteur économique– sont les éléments structurants de cette thèse sur la précarisation de l’emploi des jeunes et le renforcement de la segmentation par l’âge et par le sexe. Ces éléments opèrent comme vecteur de recomposition intégrale des économies salariales de services, en combinant le renouvellement sectoriel et la substitution générationnelle des relations d’emploi. Dans une période de stagnation d'une partie importante des rémunérations salariales, l'emploi des jeunes se précarise par la multiplication des bas salaires, l'instabilité des postes et la faible perspective de carrière interne au secteur. Cette précarisation de l'emploi des jeunes est aussi bien conséquence que moteur de la recomposition sectorielle de l'emploi. La concentration des jeunes dans les activités émergentes reproduit la segmentation sexuée des emplois. Cette recomposition sectorielle et générationnelle de l'emploi renforce les processus de segmentation par l'âge : des secteurs traditionnels vieillissants – aux conditions plus décentes–, des zones de précarisation – concernant notamment des jeunes– en expansion, et des secteurs stratégiques un peu moins jeunes et fortement inégalitaires. Enfin, certain-e-s salarié-e-s – bien souvent des femmes– restent après la jeunesse durablement enfermé-e-s dans des bas salaires et l'instabilité de l'emploi. C'est la précarité-horizon tout au long de leur (absence de) carrièreThe Rhône-Alpes economy is increasingly specializing in diverse service activities, such as consulting and assistance services, health and social action, commerce sector, hotels and restaurants, and operational services, along with the building sector. Employment precarization – defined as the persistent combination of low wages and job insecurity– especially affects young employees, both in Rhône-Alpes and France. Far from being limited to a transition period, this precarization persists throughout the social and professional lives of important segments of the working class. Relying on the Déclarations Annuelles de Données Sociales (DADS), we have underlined the restructuring by age and sex groups and showed regional trends as well as the distinctive sector features of employment relationship precarization. These three elements – age, sex and economic sector– are the key elements of this thesis on the precarization of youth employment and its increasing segmentation. In such a process, the sectoral and generational renewal of employment relationships combine to drive a full recomposition of service-sector wage-economies. In a period of near-general wage stagnation, youth employment is becoming increasingly precarious due to the rise of low wages, job insecurity and low career prospects in the same sector. This precarization of youth employment is both a consequence and a driving factor of the sector recomposition of employment. The concentration of young people in emerging branches reproduces the sexual segmentation of employment. This sector and generational recomposition of employment reinforces age segmentation : traditional sectors, with more decent conditions, dominated by an ageing labour force ; expanding areas of precarization, notably concerning young people; whereas strategic sectors, where employees are not so young, showing high internal inequalities. Finally, some employees – mostly women– remain locked up in low wages and job insecurity even after ageing out of the younger period cohorts. It is the precariousness as horizon throughout their (absence of) career
La economía de Rhône-Alpes tiende a especializarse en la construcción y en diversas actividades de servicios – consultoría y asesoría, salud y la acción social, comercio, hoteles y restaurantes, y servicios operativos o auxiliares, principalmente. Además, la precarización del empleo – entendida como combinación persistente de bajos salarios e inestabilidad de los puestos– afecta, tanto en Francia como en Rhône-Alpes, sobre todo a los y las jóvenes empleadas. Lejos de limitarse a un período transitorio, esta precarización se expande en la vida social y profesional de partes importantes de la población trabajadora. Mediante la observación de las Déclarations Annuelles de Données Sociales (DADS) hemos analizado la recomposición de las relaciones entres los grupos de edad y los sexos, evidenciando las tendencias generales de la región y las particularidades sectoriales de las relaciones salariales segmentadas. Estos tres elementos – edad, sexo y sector económico– estructuran esta tesis sobre la precarización del empleo juvenil y la creciente segmentación por edad y por sexo. En este proceso se combinan la renovación sectorial y la substitución generacional de las relaciones de empleo, que operan como vector de recomposición integral de las economías salariales de servicios.En un periodo de estancamiento de una parte importante de las remuneraciones salariales, el empleo juvenil se precariza por la proliferación de bajos salarios, puestos inestables y de baja perspectiva de trayectoria laboral ascendente interna al sector. Esta precarización del empleo juvenil es a la vez consecuencia y motor de la reestructuración sectorial del empleo. La concentración de jóvenes en actividades emergentes reproduce opciones de empleo altamente segmentadas por sexo. La recomposición sectorial y generacional del empleo fortalece el proceso de segmentación por la edad : por un lado se observan sectores tradicionales – con condiciones más decentes– en proceso de envejecimiento; por otro, se consolidan zonas de precarización, especialmente juveniles, en expansión; y, así mismo, constatamos la existencia de una serie de sectores estratégicos, con empleados y empleadas no tan jóvenes, y con desigualdades internas fuertes. Por último, señalar que algunos empleados – y, sobre todo, empleadas– permanecen tras el periodo juvenil atrapadas en bajos salarios e inestabilidad contractual. Es la precariedad-horizonte a lo largo de su (ausencia de) carrera
Rhône-Alpeetako ekonomiak eraikuntzan eta zenbait zerbitzu jardueratan espezializatzeko joera hartu du azken hamarkadetan – aholkularitza eta laguntza zerbitzuak, osasun eta gizarte ekintza, merkataritza, ostatuak eta jatetxeak, eta zerbitzu osagarriak dira nagusiak. Era berean, enpleguaren prekarizazioak – soldata baxuen eta lanpostu ezegonkorren luzaroko egoeren konbinazioa – gazte langileei eragiten die bereziki, bai Frantzian, eta bai Rhône-Alpeetan ere. Enpleguaren prekarizazioa behin-behineko trantsizio egoera izan beharrean, langileriaren adar anitzen bizi baldintzetan hedatzen da. Déclarations Annuelles de Données Sociales (DADS) datu basearen bidez, adin eta sexu taldeen arteko berrosaketa aztertu dugu, eskualdeko joera orokorrak eta soldatapeko hainbat sektoreren lan harreman segmentatuen berezitasunak nabarmentzeko. Hiru elementu hauek dira – adina, sexua eta sektore ekonomikoa– gazte enpleguaren prekarizazioa eta handitzen doan adin eta sexuaren araberako lan harremanen segmentazioari buruzko tesi honen egiturazko osagaiak , soldatapeko zerbitzu ekonomien berrosaketa integralaren ardatz direnak, sektoreen berrikuntza eta belaunaldien arteko ordezkapenaren bidez gauzatzen dena.Soldatapeko langileentzako errenta igoera nabarmenik egon ez den epean, gazteen enpleguak prekarizatu dira, soldata baxuko lanpostu ezegonkorren ugaltzearen bidez eta sektore barruko ibilbidea egiteko aukerak murriztuta. Gazteen enpleguaren prekarizazioa sektore berrosaketaren abiapuntua zein motorra da. Gazteen kontzentrazioak jarduera nagusi berrietan sexuaren araberako segmentatutako enplegu aukerak birsortzen ditu. Era berean, enpleguaren sektore eta belaunaldien arteko berrosaketak adinaren araberako segmentazioa indartzen du : baldintza hobeak dituzten sektore tradizionalen zaharkitzea, prekarizazio guneen hedapena – bereziki gazteentzat–, eta, azkenik, ez hain gazteek osatutako sektore estrategikoak, non barne desorekak diren nagusi. Bukatzeko, zenbait langile, batez ere emakumeak, gazte garaiaren ondoren soldata baxuko enplegu ezegonkorretan gatibu geratzen direla egiaztatu da, eta prekarizazio-etorkizuna duen karrera (eza) sortzen du

In International Conference on Eurasian Economies. Eurasian Economists Association, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.36880/c08.01915.
Full textAbstract:
It has been revealed both in the theoretical and the applied studies that the trade of goods in the traditional foreign trade theories reflects the prosperity indicators of the countries such as economic growth and employment positively. In the 1970s, especially with the developments on financial globalization, the foreign trade structure has started to evolve, and the service trade has started to become more and more important or weighted. While the literature on competitiveness is related to the commodity trade, it is noteworthy that there are more limited studies on the results and suggestions of the competition power in service trade. In this study Balassa’s (1965) RCA (Revealed Comparative Advantages) approach was used to determine Turkey's competitive power on service trade. In this context, Turkey has tried to measure competition power against the world in each service sub sector related to the classification of traditional service sector such as tourism and transportation and other service sectors (telecommunication, financial services, insurance etc.) which are defined as modern services sector. It is analyzed with using annual data between 1980 and 2015 obtained from the UNCTAD. According to findings the competitive power in the tourism sector with traditional services is stronger in Turkey. This can be seen generally disadvantageous in the transportation sector, but there has been some increase in competition power since 2009. On the other hand, in the field of other service sectors expressed as modern services, it is concluded that there is no competitive power and it is highly disadvantaged.

Full textAbstract:
Analysis made in the article allows to conclude that the SME sector of high-tech manufacturing industries plays growing role in solving the problems of employment in developed countries. However, the major problem is that it is capable for only partial compensation of the loss of jobs in labour intensive sectors of the economy. Accumulation of knowledge of the population in industrialized countries together with high levels of computer literacy contributes to the revitalization of business services sellers that are mainly small sized businesses. In the era of fast growing technology industries, in particular related to IT sector, the role of SMEs in economy is increasing as they are main players in start -up communities and IT industries in general. Thus they can growingly contribute to the employment and labour market. The authors proceed from the assumption that service sector, and business services in particular, to a certain extent are capable of absorbing of workforce. This article argues that employment in the service sector in the developed economies is still largely focused on traditional sectors of activity. The purpose of the paper is to investigate latest trends of SMEs role in employment in the developed countries and the role of service sector in stabilizing labour market. Theoretical approaches, statistical data and policy analysis are used to research contemporary labour market trends. Knowledge - intensive services that are important from the point of view of economic dynamics, only start to concur positions in the developed countries.

Full textAbstract:
Broadly speaking, the green economy involves pro-environmental products and services, investments, economy sectors, public procurement contracts, and jobs. This is a new idea, both in terms of regulations supporting its development and of practical effects of the implementation of technologies and organisational solutions aimed at the protection of natural environment. The possibility for obtaining new jobs thanks to the support of the green economy is the focus of various decision-making centres. The problem, however, is the lack of a thorough understanding of the potential existing in the developing green job market, particularly in rural areas, which hampers taking efficient measures. The aim of the study was to indicate the determinants of and opportunities for the development of the green economy and green jobs in sectors related to the rural economy. The opinions presented in the study were obtained through interviews from a randomly selected group of 578 managers of “green economy”-related businesses operating in rural areas. The study participants are entrepreneurs employing workers and creating jobs in the following areas: agri-food processing, services, manufacturing, renewable energy sources, and tourism. It can be concluded that, inter alia, despite the difficult situation in the labour market, and the problems with sales of products and services in the green economy sector, it should be expected that in the next few (3 to 5) years, the social demand for innovative products/services of this sector will increase.

Full textAbstract:
In Latvia, the global business services sector accounts for 2.3 % of GDP, and its share in total service exports is 8 %, while the turnover of the sector in 2019 was estimated at EUR 400 mln., which indicates that the global business services sector in Latvia is an important component of the national economy. The global business services sector in Latvia has developed relatively recently, so it has not yet been sufficiently assessed and researched. The aim of the research is to describe the factors affecting the development of the global business services sector in Latvia. The research concluded that the global business services sector in Latvia was promoted by such factors as the availability of labour and low labour costs, as well as a relatively favourable business environment. The potential of the global business services sector in Latvia is also characterized by its advantageous geographical location, especially from the perspective of Scandinavian investors (including in terms of cultural similarities), as well as the foreign language skills of potential employees. The establishment of the Association of Business Service Leaders in Latvia (ABSL Latvia) (the only such an association in the Baltic States that defends the interests of this sector) is also an important driver for the development of the sector.

Full textAbstract:
Decentralization and fiscal decentralization constitute one of the most followed trends for political and economic reform in recent years around the world. Albania, in the 1990s, begins its process of transitioning from a centralized economy to a free-market economy. This process is accompanied by transforming existing economic mechanisms and infrastructure to better function the free-markets model, but above all, with the need to develop and create new legal, institutional, economic, and social instruments and spaces to increase the allocation and efficiency of public and private resources. The objective of this study is to give an appropriate answer to the question: What has been the impact of decentralization reforms on the performance of public services provided by local government? The research paper will focus on the role that improvements and legislative changes play in the country's economic growth. Within the past two decades, progress is made in advancing decentralization reform, but there are still many challenges ahead, such as the lack of a clear legal and regulatory framework. Adding to that concern is the financial autonomy of local governments, which remains a challenge for the future. The research methodology used will be a descriptive analysis of data obtained from the Ministry of Finance and Economy and local municipalities on the impact of the reforms. Recommendations and suggestions will be given on the reforming process, as well as ways to increase the efficiency of local government units.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid socio-economic development of the Republic of Azerbaijan is conditioned by many factors, including the sphere of services in various sectors of the economy, including the catering market.
In recent years, the catering market in the country has expanded significantly. During 2000-2015 alone, the catering turnover in the country increased from 18.4 million manat to 1111.2 million manat.
Such a pace of development of catering services has not been observed in any other sector of the economy. The growing role of the catering market in the country fully justifies the fact that the welfare of the country's workers has significantly increased, which is an important element in the integrated assessment of the development of society. To solve many complex problems of the catering market, we need a scientific basis based on modern research methods, including complex marketing research.
In addition, in order to solve a large number of such complex problems, it is necessary to pay special attention to regulatory issues, reducing the level of production costs, rapid development of market infrastructure, raising the level of service culture. Ultimately, this will ensure that tactics and strategies improve the performance of market services in line with market conditions. We believe that a scientific approach to complex marketing research will help solve many problems in the catering market.

Full textAbstract:
Before the 1990s, Mongolia had a health care system that largely depended on hospital-based services. The country’s hospital sector was characterized by the extensive use of an excessive number of acute beds, a large number of medically unjustified admissions, and lengthy hospital stays. In the early 1990s, the Government of Mongolia started socioeconomic reforms as part of the transition to a market economy. It requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support health sector reforms in the country. This paper describes the hospital sector in Mongolia along with the reforms and results achieved, challenges that remain, and ongoing and future directions for ADB support to better respond to the needs of the people.

Full textAbstract:
Modern agricultural production and food trade are involved in the process of digital transformation, which is a cardinal factor of sustainable development and is carried out on the basis of IT platforms, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the dependence of these sectors of the economy on information and communication technology infrastructure and services. At the same time, the slow updating of legislation, which lags behind the constantly improving digital technologies, not only hinders their implementation, but also is a source of a number of social and legal problems. A modern regulatory framework based on digital strategies should strengthen "smart agriculture". In Russia, the legal mechanism of digital transformation and development of the national platform "Digital Agriculture" should be supported by updated basic legislation.

Full textAbstract:
This literature review draws from academic and grey literature, published largely as institutional reports and blogs. Most information found considered global impacts on employment and the labour market with the particular impact for the very high numbers of youth, women, migrant workers, and people with disabilities who are more likely to be employed in the informal sector. There has been a high negative impact on the informal sector and for precariously employed groups. The informal labour market is largest in low and middle-income countries and engages 2 billion workers (62 percent) of the global workforce (currently around 3.3 billion). Particularly in low- and middle-income countries, hard-hit sectors have a high proportion of workers in informal employment and workers with limited access to health services and social protection. Economic contractions are particularly challenging for micro, small, and medium enterprises to weather. Reduced working hours and staff reductions both increase worker poverty and hardship. Women, migrant workers, and youth form a major part of the workforce in the informal economy since they are more likely to work in these vulnerable, low-paying informal jobs where there are few protections, and they are not reached by government support measures. Young people have been affected in two ways as many have had their education interrupted; those in work these early years of employment (with its continued important learning on the job) have been interrupted or in some cases ended.

Full textAbstract:
Economic reasons are among the basic explanatory factors of migration, whether international or internally within a country. In turn, migratory movements have effects on the economy in terms of economic growth in general, but also in the different markets (work, housing, consumer goods, etc.) and public services (education, health, social services, etc.). The purpose of this document is to offer an overview of these interactions between migration and the economy in the case of the Canary Islands. To do this, certain conceptual clarifications will be made initially involving the mutual determination of both processes, before later providing specifics with evidence on the Canarian case for the main issues considered: the economic reasons for migration, and its impact on economic growth, the labour market and the living conditions of the immigrant population. The final section alludes to the importance of the institutional framework that regulates these relations between migration and the economy, which are far from being interpretable as a mechanical relationship and isolated from the political sphere.

Full textAbstract:
The National Park Service (NPS) manages the Nation’s most iconic destinations that attract millions of visitors from across the Nation and around the world. Trip-related spending by NPS visitors generates and supports economic activity within park gateway communities. This report summarizes the annual economic contribution analysis that measures how NPS visitor spending cycles through local economies, generating business sales and supporting jobs and income. In 2020, the National Park System received over 237 million recreation visits (down 28% from 2019). Visitors to national parks spent an estimated $14.5 billion in local gateway regions (down 31% from 2019). The estimated contribution of this spending to the national economy was 234,000 jobs, $9.7 billion in labor income, $16.7 billion in value added, and $28.6 billion in economic output. The lodging sector saw the highest direct effects, with $5 billion in economic output directly contributed to this sector nationally. The restaurants sector saw the next greatest effects, with $3 billion in economic output directly contributed to this sector nationally. Results from the Visitor Spending Effects report series are available online via an interactive tool. Users can view year-by-year trend data and explore current year visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added, and economic output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies. The interactive tool is available at https://www.nps.gov/subjects/socialscience/vse.htm.

Mitra, Sabyasachi. Drivers and Benefits of Enhancing Participation in Global Value Chains: Lessons for India. Asian Development Bank, December 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.22617/wps200430-2.
Full textAbstract:
Enhancing participation in global value chain (GVCs) can facilitate development outcomes that India strives to achieve, including generating productive employment opportunities, increasing labor productivity, and gaining a larger share of global exports. This paper draws from the Asian Development Bank’s Multiregional Input–Output Database and highlights the role of various drivers of GVCs participation across primary, manufacturing, and services sectors. It also evaluates the drivers and economic consequences of participating in different segments of GVCs, which can apply to India’s potential development outcomes. Results of the study indicate increasing GVC participation can positively impact the economy and contribute to raising per capita income, labor productivity, investment, and exports.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we aim to disentangle how sectoral economic growth affects the growth of the middle class size using state-level data of Bolivia from 2000 to 2017, a country with limited data, breaking the three main economic activities into subsectors aiming for more specific results. By means of a Bayesian hierarchical longitudinal model for small samples, we find that the commerce and services sectors have the biggest impact, even though mining and agriculture also have a positive effect on the increase of the middle class in Bolivia. Our results also suggest that both formality and public social investment have a significant, yet smaller, effect.

Full textAbstract:
La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha acelerado tendencias en la economía digital que no se preveían alcanzar hasta dentro de cinco o diez años, alterado nuestra cotidianeidad, fomentando desde nuevas dinámicas sociales hasta nuevos patrones de consumo, al mismo tiempo que ha supuesto un verdadero punto de inflexión en muchos ámbitos de nuestra vida personal y colectiva. Uno de los sectores que ha sufrido un impacto mayor es el de la economía digital, y, especialmente el de la economía de plataformas, tanto a nivel económico como laboral. Las plataformas digitales han iniciado un proceso de adaptación a este nuevo contexto para ajustarse a las nuevas necesidades de consumidores, empresas y trabajadores. Sin embargo, todavía existe poca información acerca de la magnitud de los impactos de la COVID-19 en la economía de plataformas y sobre las medidas que el sector está tomando para adaptarse a esta nueva realidad. Por ello el laboratorio de Digital Future Society (DFS Lab) y el laboratorio de innovación del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID Lab) han elaborado este informe en el que se recoge la voz de 34 plataformas laborales digitales que operan en España y/o en América Latina en alguno de los tres sectores analizados: los repartos, los cuidados y los servicios virtuales. Este informe presenta sus experiencias en relación con el impacto de la COVID-19 y su percepción del futuro de la economía de plataformas.
