Abstract

The Eighth Conference on Labour, Work and Employment attracted 32 papers which, as well as covering themes addressed in previous conferences such as earnings differentials and regional labour markets, also ventures into new areas, notably the influence of health on labour supply, the role of the family and social exclusion. The conference received two further papers on the Maori and two comparative papers addressing differences between New Zealand and the experience of Denmark to the Netherlands. New concepts such as spatial hysteresis were applied and new types of data were introduced including Statistics New Zealand's micro level record data. New approaches were also taken to longstanding questions such as the trends in self-employment and de· industrialisation.
