We exploit a country-wide child labor regulation that eliminated the difference in school/work alternatives for children born at the beginning and the end of the year to identify the causal effect of education on migration at low levels of schooling. By not relying on changes to the school system, we are more confident that our results are not driven by unobserved changes in school quality evolving differentially across regions. The results of a difference-in-differences methodology combined with an exploration of maternal characteristics and a regression discontinuity design suggest that internal migration hardly changed after the reform. A consideration of the external validity of this finding is also provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Austerity measures are commonly adopted to address economic crises. Such measures have particularly adverse effects for women, but studies have found these consequences to be strategically silenced. I explore the conditions under which the gendered effects of austerity are silenced, and by whom. Drawing on an original dataset of 9,420 newspaper articles (2010–2020) addressing austerity measures introduced in Spain, I find that politicians from left parties critique the labor reforms for negatively affecting women's working conditions, while conservative politicians rarely address the reforms from a gender perspective. The party political difference is conditioned by government–opposition dynamics, and the salience of gender perspectives varies with election cycles. These findings suggest that a gender lens is more likely to be present in the public debate on economic policy-making when it is strategically beneficial for garnering political support.

Resumen: En España se llevaron a cabo dos grandes reformas laborales (2010 y 2012) bajo el supuesto de que la flexibilización del mercado laboral y la descentralización de la negociación colectiva conducirían mecánicamente a reducir el desempleo (hipótesis flexibilizadora). Este artículo destaca la centralidad de la demanda y de la composición sectorial de la economía para explicar el comportamiento de esta variable (hipótesis estructural). Mediante un análisis con datos de panel a escala subnacional, evaluamos la capacidad de ambas hipótesis para explicar la evolución del desempleo. Nuestros resultados cuestionan los supuestos de la hipótesis flexibilizadora y subrayan la importancia de los factores cíclicos y estructurales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Law 3/2012, of 6 July, on urgent measures to reform the labor market, promoting new ways to develop the workforce. In this sense, it accommodates teleworking as being a particular form of work organization that fits perfectly in the productive and economic model pursued by this reform. On the one hand, to promote flexibility of enterprises in the organization of work. Furthermore, increasing employment opportunities and, finally, to optimize the relationship between work and personal and family life. The study focuses on determining whether telecommuting is configured as homeworking or teleworking under the provisions of Article 6 of Law 3/2012, of 6 July, on urgent measures to reform the labor market and promoting permanent contracts and other measures to promote job creation, which gives a new wording of the former Article 13 of Legislative Royal Decree 1/1995 of 24 March, approving the revised text of the Statute Law approved Workers; which is currently governed by Article 13 of Legislative Royal Decree 2/2015 of 23 October, approving the revised text of the Law of the Workers' Statute is approved.

This article thoroughly examines the Constitutional Court Judgment No. 119/2014, of July 16, that resolves the action of unconstitutionality brought by the Parliament of Navarre against three provisions of the Act 3/2012 on urgent measures to reform the labour market. Going through the three reasons alleged by the appellants against its constitutionality (probationary period of one year, mandatory arbitration in case of opting out from the collective agreement and the absolute priority given firm level collective bargaining), the article critically reflects on the new constitutional frame of industrial relations.

The labour reforms contained in Law 3/2012 of 6 July on urgent measures to reform the labour market have had a direct impact on collective negotiation by adapting labour conditions to the specific circumstances of the company. In this regard, and among other measures, the legal opt-out regime set out in article 82.3 of the Statute of the Workers has been modified establishing, if no agreement is reached during the consultation period and the dispute is not resolved in any other way, an option for the parties to submit the dispute to a binding arbitration before the National Consultative Commission on Collective Bargaining Agreements (Comisión Consultiva Nacional de Convenios Colectivos) or similar body of the autonomous communities (Comunidades Autónomas). Furthermore, the duration of the extended validity of the collective bargaining agreements has been limited to one year, unless otherwise agreed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The labour reform introduced in 2012 by Royal Decree Law 3/2012 of 10 February and by Law 3/2012 of 6 July signified the beginning of a profound review of the collective dismissals regime. This paper is intended to provide a general overview of the recent judicial decisions on this matter, focusing mainly on those issues that have generated the most controversy to date: (i) group of companies; (ii) the documents necessary in the collective dismissals procedure; (iii) the need to act in good faith during the consultation period; and, (iv) the objective causes justifying the collective dismissal.

Royal Decree 1483/2012, of 29 October, regulates the new procedure to carry out collective dismissals, suspensions of employment contracts and reductions of working time, after the very important legal amendments on these matters introduced by the 2012 labour reform. The most relevant change is the elimination of the need to be granted an administrative authorization in order to implement any of these measures, except if they are based on force majeure. Hence, this royal decree regulates a procedure that, in the absence of an administrative authorization, is now focused on the negotiation between the employer and the employees' representatives during a consultation period.

Law 36/2011 of 10 October, regulating the Labour Courts (Spanish Official Gazette of 11 October 2011), which entered into force on 11 December 2011, abrogates the previous law approved by Royal Decree Legislative 2/1995 of 7 April. Although this new law keeps the same structure, numbering and most of the former law's articles, it introduces relevant changes. The main novelty affects the scope of the law, which has been extended, rationalised and clarified to cover all areas relating to the labour market. Secondly, the new law is part of the Strategic Plan to Modernise the Justice System, in response to the need for structural reform in the Spanish justice system to guarantee a more efficient, agile, transparent and better public service. Finally, the new law implements the provisions of the Labour Market Reform of 2010 (Law (35/2010, of 17 September). Thus, labour courts will hear appeals against decisions issued by the labour authorities on collective dismissals, temporary suspension of employment contracts and reduction of working time.

Law 35/2010 of 17 September, on urgent measures to reform the labour market, includes several novelties concerning dismissals based on reasons of economic, technical, organisational or productive nature. These novelties have given rise to an intense social and political debate. Certain sectors believe that the labour reform has made it more flexible or, perhaps easier, for companies to justify this type of dismissals. This article focuses on the most relevant novelties arising on the topic of causes for dismissals, with particular attention to the economic reasons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The economic crisis and loss of hundreds and thousands of jobs have forced the Spanish government to urgently pass a series of measures to reform the current labour market. The aim of this reform is to boost the creation of stable and quality jobs; strengthen internal flexible labour instruments so that companies can easily adopt them during times of crises and increase work opportunities for the unemployed, specially for the young people. The labour reform was provisionally agreed by the Council of Ministers by means of Royal Decree-Law 10/2010 of 16 June, which has been in force since 18 June 2010 and which subsequently and urgently became a draft bill. Law 35/2010, of September 17, on urgent measures to reform the labour market (Spanish Official Gazette of September 18, 2010) in force since September 19, 2010 (except the new regulation on employment agencies), is the result of the said procedure. This article intends to summarise the most relevant measures of this reform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the Spanish court case of Joaquín v. González in 1904, which was sent to the executive branch for consideration by the Spanish government, and its influence on legislation related to the National Labor Project Act in Spain. It discusses the legal precedence of the case, including the Spanish Occupational Healths and Safety Act of 1900, which was also sent to the executive branch of government. The author analyzes the importance of the case in the development of an institution to deal with labor issues and reforms in Spain.
