Nice review paper by Emily Breza and Supreet Kaur on labor markets in developing countries. “low wage employment may reflect low levels of labor supply to wage work because workers find existing jobs undesirable. A growing number of studies finds evidence that workers do not want the jobs available to them, especially formal low-skilled jobs such as factory work. We argue that at least some of this “low” labor supply is itself a consequence of the conditions associated with poverty”. They provide a variety of stats showing how many people don’t want wage jobs, quit them at high rates if they do take them, and are absent a lot of the time if they don’t quit! They discuss issues like the volatility of household shocks, cultural and network demands, and more as reasons.
