Decomposition analysis of Spanish life expectancy at birth

Using data from the Human Mortality Database (HMD), the paper analyzes the increase in the life expectancy of the Spanish population during the three decades, 1970-2001, in order to ascertain which age and sex groups have made the most progress in terms of increasing life expectancy. Within the theoretical context of Health Transition, the authors provide a brief description of the Spanish mortality during the XXth century across several indexes. The study uses a decomposition technique to separate changes in Spanish life expectancy at birth (e0) into age, sex, and time components. The most important components of change are found in the elderly, in young people, and in the evolution to sex differences in human mortality.decomposition, health, health transition, Human Mortality Database, life expectancy, mortality, mortality trends, Spain

Identización: la construcción discursiva del individuo

Education runs increasingly from the hand of inculturation, but it has never been opposed fields, postmodernity has been responsible for breaking down barriers and the disciplinary purity in favor of a global approach. It is therefore necessary to draw shadows that shaped the idea of individual and therefore of identity. The following paper presents an ontology of the construction of the individual, ie identization through a new approach that puts the creativity of the process compared to processes of appropriation. We understand this identity as a whole more complex than adopting established roles, the self is more than the border with otherness.La educación cada vez más corre de la mano de la enculturación, si bien nunca han sido ámbitos contrarios, la postmodernidad se ha encargado de romper las barreras y la pureza disciplinaria a favor de un enfoque globalizado. Se hace por tanto necesario dibujar sombras que configuren la idea de individuo y por tanto de identidad. En el siguiente trabajo se presenta una ontología de la construcción del individuo, es decir, la identización, a través de un nuevo enfoque que antepone la creatividad del proceso frente a procesos de apropiación. Entendemos aquí identidad como un todo más complejo que la adopción roles establecidos, la mismidad es más que la frontera con la otredad

Essays on labor market adjustment and earnings growth

This dissertation aims to enhance our understanding of the factors that shape workers’ earnings trajectories. It investigates institutional and exogenous factors that significantly impact workers’ earnings and can lead to long-term effects. The dissertation is structured into three distinct chapters, each focusing on a different facet of this topic. The first chapter investigates the consequences of a significant shock to the Spanish economy, the burst of the construction sector during the Great Recession, and how workers mitigate its pervasive effects. The exploration delves into the reallocation of workers, considering the influence of working in more affected regions on their geographic and sectoral mobility. The chapter identifies factors that contribute to heterogeneous responses among workers, emphasizing the role of sectoral opportunities, which can explain variations in the impact of the construction sector burst. The second chapter focuses on the duality of the Spanish labor market, characterized by temporary and permanent contracts, and its influence on the returns to experience. Estimating these returns poses challenges due to the non-random sorting of workers into contract types. The chapter exploits variation in the contract expiration timing and permanent contract availability as an exogenous variation for contract-type employment. It sheds light on the long-term effects of gaining experience in low-quality jobs, specifically those associated with temporary contracts. The final chapter studies the influence of the labor market duality on workers’ motivations to relocate geographically within Spain. The primary objective of this chapter is to deepen our understanding of the dynamics of internal mobility and labor market instability. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive analysis of recent trends in internal mobility within Spain, offering valuable insights into the factors shaping workers’ decisions to move within the country.Programa de Doctorado en Economía por la Universidad Carlos III de MadridPresidente: Samuel Bentolila.- Secretario: Jesús Fernández-Huertas Moraga.- Vocal: José Ignacio García Pére
