    “Structural Change and Structural Unemployment in Poland”

    No full text
    This paper looks at regional unemployment inequality using individual-level data. We find that higher unemployment regions are those with higher inflow rates to unemployment rather than higher durations of unemployment. This indicates that high unemployment is related to high rates of destruction of job-worker matches in Poland. Econometric analysis of the probability of flowing into unemployment from a job reinforces this impression, showing how middle-aged workers in particular and also those in manufacturing are much more likely to enter unemployment if they live in high unemployment counties. These results are evidence against theories of regional unemployment, which work through variations in the rate of job-finding

    “Niektóre Czynniki Ksztaltujące regionalną strukturę bezrobocia w Polsce” (En. Tr.: “On Some Determinants of Poland’s Regional Unemployment”)

    Jest to tekst uzupełniający do opracowania Newella i Pastore (1999), w którym autorzy analizują związek miedzy restrukturyzacją przemysłu a bezrobociem regionalnym. W tym opracowaniu stawiamy pytanie, i staramy się na nie odpowiedzieć, w jakim stopniu międzynarodowa przewaga konkurencyjna Polski w pracochłonnych działach przemysłu przetwórczego w powiązaniu z korzyściami wynikającymi ze zurbanizowania regionów, odgrywa istotną rolę w kształtowaniu regionalnej dystrybucji bezrobocia w Polsce

    Comparative Advantages, Job Destruction and the Regional Pattern of Polish Unemployment

    This paper investigates the relationship between industrial restructuring and regional unemployment in Poland. Poland's regional unemployment broke out of nothing at the beginning of the 1990s decade. Since then, it has remained remarkably unchanged over the decade for a variety of factors, such as the gradual restructuring process, labour supply rigidities and technological differences. The role of each of these factors is assessed within the framework of hazard functions applied to the inflow to unemployment from a job, computed using Polish Labour Force Survey data. When voivodships are groupedaccording to their unemployment rate it can be seen that low unemployment voivodships form a heterogeneous group, including both rural and urban areas. Applying a new method of analysis of the labour market effects of trade integration, the paper reveals circumstantial evidence on how Poland's international comparative advantages in labour-intensive manufacturing combine with the economic advantages of urbanised regions to play a significant role in shaping the regional distribution of Poland's unemployment

    Use of antiretroviral therapy in households and risk of HIV acquisition in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 2004-2012: a prospective cohort study

    No full text
    Background: studies of HIV-serodiscordant couples in stable sexual relationships have provided convincing evidence that antiretroviral therapy can prevent the transmission of HIV. We aimed to quantify the preventive effect of a public-sector HIV treatment and care programme based in a community with poor knowledge and disclosure of HIV status, frequent migration, late marriage, and multiple partnerships. Specifically, we assessed whether an individual's hazard of HIV acquisition was associated with antiretroviral therapy coverage among household members of the opposite sex.Methods: in this prospective cohort study, we linked patients' records from a public-sector HIV treatment programme in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, with population-based HIV surveillance data collected between 2004 and 2012. We used information about coresidence to construct estimates of HIV prevalence and antiretroviral therapy coverage for each household. We then regressed the time to HIV seroconversion for 14?505 individuals, who were HIV-uninfected at baseline and individually followed up over time regarding their HIV status, on opposite-sex household antiretroviral therapy coverage, controlling for household HIV prevalence and a range of other potential confounders.Findings: 2037 individual HIV seroconversions were recorded during 54?845 person-years of follow-up. For each increase of ten percentage points in opposite-sex household antiretroviral therapy coverage, the HIV acquisition hazard was reduced by 6% (95% CI 2–9), after controlling for other factors. This effect size translates into large reductions in HIV acquisition hazards when household antiretroviral therapy coverage is substantially increased. For example, an increase of 50 percentage points in household antiretroviral therapy coverage (eg, from 20% to 70%) reduced the hazard of HIV acquisition by 26% (95% CI 9–39).Interpretation: our findings provide further evidence that antiretroviral therapy significantly reduces the risk of onward transmission of HIV in a real-world setting in sub-Saharan Africa. Awareness that antiretroviral therapy can prevent transmission to coresident sexual partners could be a powerful motivator for HIV testing and antiretroviral treatment uptake, retention, and adherence<br/
