Is the Millennial Generation Left Behind? Inter-Cohort Labour Income Inequality in a Context of Economic Shock.

This paper provides new evidence on how intergenerational income inequality evolves during the period 2005-2019. Using the Continuous Sample of Working Histories (CSWH), which includes administrative data about working lives and personal characteristics of Spanish workers, we shed light on the effect of the Great Recession on income inequality between cohorts in Spain. As a proxy of income, we employ monthly earnings data, provided by the CSWH.

Is sheltered employment more stable than ordinary employment?

Background: Sheltered Employment Centres are a key component of policies promoting the employment of people with disabilities in Spain. The firms involved form a sort of 'protected' labour market for people with disabilities. Their purpose is to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities who have difficulties entering the 'ordinary' labour market.
