    <description>Title: Patterns of persistent poverty: Evidence from EU-SILC
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Jenkins, Stephen; van Kerm, Philippe
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: The persistent at-risk-of-poverty rate is one of the EU's 11 primary indicators of social inclusion but it has received little attention compared to the current at-risk-of-poverty rate. Using the 2008 EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) database, we compare persistent income poverty rates across European nations and examine differences in poverty profiles for subgroups defined by age and sex. We draw attention to similarities between the profiles for persistent at-risk-of-poverty rates and at-risk-of-poverty rates, and are led to question the relevance of the former measure in its current form as a key EUindicator of social progress.</description>

    <description>Title: Occupational feminization, specialized human capital and wages: Evidence from the British labour market
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Perales, Francisco
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Research has consistently demonstrated a negative and significant relationship between occupational feminization and wages. This has traditionally been attributed to societal mechanisms undervaluing the work mainly performed by women. More recently, empirical evidence from the US and Europe has supported theories based on the concept of specialized human capital. We examine whether lower wages in female-dominated occupations in Britain are explained by differences in specialized human capital, allowing for other potentially mediating factors. We also explore the functional form of the relationship between occupational feminization and wages and estimate the contribution of occupational sex-segregation to the gender pay-gap.</description>

    <description>Title: Access to flexible working and informal care
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Bryan, Mark L.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We use matched employer-employee data to explore the relationship between employees' access to flexible working arrangements and the amount of informal care they provide to sick or elderly friends and relatives. Flexitime and the ability to reduce working hours are each associated with about 10% more hours of informal care, with effects concentrated among full-time workers providing small amounts of care. The wider workplace environment beyond formal flexible work also appears to facilitate care. Workplaces do not respond to the presence of carers by providing flexible work, instead there is some underlying selection of carers into flexible workplaces.</description>

    <description>Title: Occupational change and mobility among employed and unemployed job seekers
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Longhi, Simonetta; Taylor, Mark
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We use data from the Labour Force Survey to show that employed and unemployed job seekers in Great Britain originate from different occupations and find jobs in different occupations. We find substantial differences in occupational mobility between job seekers: employed job seekers are most likely to move to occupations paying higher average wages relative to their previous occupation, while unemployed job seekers are most likely to move to lower paying occupations. Employed and unemployed job seekers exhibit different patterns of occupational mobility and, therefore, do not accept the same types of jobs.</description>
