abstract: 'During 2012, the labour market continued to show considerable diversity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in outcomes for different labour market groups. Employment growth was
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
slower and the number of employees searching for full-time work rose
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
alongside falling participation rates compared with the previous year.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Overall, the employment situation for men was not looking as strong as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for women, although women continued to exhibit higher levels of labour
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
underutilisation. Earnings indicators suggest increased wages in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
low-paid sectors, although this was coming off a low base and may be
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
indicative of catch-up for slow growth in recent years. The relative
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
value of the minimum wage is now at its lowest level in six years,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
suggesting some evidence of growing earnings inequality. Recent debates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in the mass media about labour productivity and industrial relations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
regulation appear to have limited grounding in national accounting and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
labour market data.'
