Summary results are reported in Table6 while Appendix Table 5 provides detail on each LMA. The association between unemployment rates and caseload rates again surfaces but is again somewhat inconsistent.... In PAGE 19: ... Entry rates and exit rates appear positively corre- lated with unemployment rates for all three time frames. The middle panel of Table6 shows associations between job growth and caseload activity. Unlike the case of the unemployment rate, job growth rates show a high degree of cyclicality.... In PAGE 19: ... There also is some evidence of stronger rates of job creation being associated with lower transition rates. The bottom panel of Table6 shows caseload activity for LMAs with relatively high-to-low average wages. High average wages generally translate into lower caseload, entry and exit rates....

In PAGE 19: ... Even though wage data for Indonesia are unavailable beyond 1991, there are reasons to believe that the performance of the labor market in Indonesia has deteriorated since 1991. As discussed in Section V below, by 1991, legislated minimum wages had become as high as 50 percent of average wages in manufacturing; between 1991 and 1993, minimum wages have been raised further by another 31 percent (see Table7 below). Since the majority of workers in the manufacturing sector are paid at rates quite close to the minimum wage, these hikes are likely to have an impact on the average wage in the manufacturing sector, especially in the formal and large-scale part of this sector.... In PAGE 31: ... POLICIES AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF LABOR 37. While labor productivity in Indonesia has been increasing since 1985, it remains low compared with its ASEAN neighbors (see Table7 above). There are a number of complex factors that affect labor productivity, including the quantity and quality of human and physical capital, working conditions, technology, and a host of institutional factors pertaining, in particular, to the.... ..."
