Abstract

BARTIK T. J. (1993) Who benefits from local job growth: migrants or the original residents?, Reg. Studies 27, 297--311. This paper surveys research on whether the new jobs resulting from growth in a local economy (e.g. a metropolitan area) go to inmigrants or the original local residents. The empirical evidence suggests that around one-quarter of the new jobs from local growth increases the labour force participation rates of local residents in the long-run. These long-run effects may occur because local growth provides residents with valuable employment experience. Research also suggests that minorities benefit most from growth and that higher wage industries provide greater employment benefits for local residents. BARTIK T. J. (1993) Qui est-ce qui bénéficie de la croissance d'emploi locale: les migrants ou la population autochtone?, Reg. Studies 27, 297--311. Cet article étudie la recherche effectuée dans le but d'évaluer si les nouveaux emplois dus à la croissance d'une économic locale (par exemple une aire métropolitaine) sont destinés à l'afflux de migrants ou à la population autochtone. Les preuves empiriques laissent supposer qu'un quart environ des nouveaux emplois dus à la croissance locale augmente à terme les taux d'activité de la population autochtone. Ces effets à long terme se reproduisent peut-etre parce que la croissance locale fournit à la population autochtone une initiation inestimable à la vie professionnelle. La recherche montre aussi que les minorités bénéficient le plus de la croissance et que les industries qui offrent les salaires plus élevés fournissent à la population autochtone des avantages plus nombreux dans le domaine de l'emploi. BARTIK T. J. (1993) Wem kommen vermehrte Erwerbsstellen am Orte zu Gute: Zuwanderern oder Einheimischen?, Reg. Studies 27, 297--311. Dieser Aufsatz legt einen Überblick über die Erforschung der Frage vor, ob neue Erwerbsstellen, die sich aus Wachstum der lokalen Wirtschaft (z.B. eines Großstadtgebiets wergeben), an Zuwanderer oder an ursprünglich am Orte Ansässige vergeben werden. Empirisch begründete Anhaltspunkte deuten darauf hin, daß, auf lange Sicht gesehen, etwa ein Viertel der neuen, örtlichem Wachstum zuzuschreibenden Erwerbsstellen die Teilnehmerrate der am Orte Ansässigen erhöht. Diese langfristigen Auswirkungen können auftreten, weil Lokalwachstum Einheimischen wertwolle Arbeitserfahrung vermittelt. Untersuchungén deuten auch darauf hin, daß Minderheiten am meisten von wirtschaftlicher Expansion profitieren, und daß höher entlohnte Industriearbeit größere Erwerbsvorteile für Einheimische bedeutet.
