In the context of growing worldwide inequality, it is important to know what happens when the demand for low-skilled workers changes. Because natural resource shocks are global in nature, but have highly localized impacts on labor prospects in resource extraction areas, they offer a unique opportunity to evaluate low-skilled men's behavior when faced with extreme variations in local labor market conditions. This situation can be utilized to evaluate a broad range of outcomes, from education and income, to marital and fertility status, to voting behavior.

The EU's largest economy, Germany, has managed to find an effective and unique combination of flexibility and rigidity in its labor market. Institutions that typically characterize rigid labor markets are effectively balanced by flexibility instruments. Important developments since 2000 include steadily decreasing unemployment rates (since 2005), increasing participation rates, and (since 2011) moderately increasing labor compensation. The German labor market was remarkably robust to the impacts of the Great Recession, thus providing a useful case study for other developed countries.

Aufgabe der Politik ist es, die Effizienz des Arbeitsmarktes zu steigern, ohne dabei die Interessen der Arbeitnehmer zu vernachlässigen. Allerdings sind gesetzliche Regelungen wie etwa zu Mindestlöhnen und Beschäftigungsschutz oft kontrovers. Umso wichtiger ist die empirische Fundierung politischer Entscheidungen. In den meisten Staaten erreicht die Regulierung ein vertretbares Ausmaß erreicht. Überoder Unterregulierung können allerdings enorme Kosten verursachen. In Entwicklungsländern hängt eine wirksame Regulierung auch von der Rechtsdurchsetzung und von Bildungsmaßnahmen ab, die eine stärkere Regelbeachtung fördern.

Die Beschäftigung im öffentlichen Sektor war ein zentraler Bestandteil sozialer Errungenschaften, die zur Festigung der politischen Stabilität in vielen Staaten des Nahen Ostens und in Nordafrika (MENA) beigetragen haben. Doch diese Vereinbarungen erodierten später mit der Folge, dass die öffentliche Beschäftigung aufgrund teilweiser Einstellungsstopps und des Versprechens lebenslanger Arbeitsplatzsicherheit für etablierte Arbeitnehmer wieder schrumpfte. Dies hatte tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf die Altersstruktur im öffentlichen Beschäftigungssektor. Der bevorstehende Eintritt vieler Beschäftigter in den Ruhestand eröffnet die Chance, die Einstellungsverfahren auch mithilfe leistungsorientierter Komponenten neu zu strukturieren.
