Over the last 50 years, there has been a remarkable convergence in the occupational distribution between white men, women, and blacks. We measure the macroeconomic consequences of this convergence through the prism of a Roy model of occupational choice in which women and blacks face frictions in the labor market and in the accumulation of human capital. The changing frictions implied by the observed occupational convergence account for 15 to 20 percent of growth in aggregate output per worker since 1960.

Even minute increases in a country's growth rate can result in dramatic changes in living standards over just one generation. The benefits of growth, however, may not be shared equally. Some may gain less than others, and a fraction of the population may actually be disadvantaged. Recent economic research has found both positive and negative relationships between growth and inequality across nations. The questions raised by these results include: What is the impact on inequality of policies designed to foster growth? Does inequality by itself facilitate or detract from economic growth, and does it amplify or diminish policy effectiveness? This book provides a forum for economists to examine the theoretical, empirical, and policy issues involved in the relationship between growth and inequality. The aim is to develop a framework for determining the role of public policy in enhancing both growth and equality. The diverse range of topics, examined in both developed and developing countries, includes natural resources, taxation, fertility, redistribution, technological change, transition, labor markets, and education. A theme common to all the essays is the importance of education in reducing inequality and increasing growth.

This three-chapter compilation examines the theoretical and empirical implications of occupation-specific human capital as it relates to current labor economics research. The first chapter demonstrates that acknowledging occupational specificity in the human capital model allows for a reconciliation of a long-standing theoretical dispute regarding the role of occupation in the labor market. The second chapter extends the literature by estimating the cross-occupation transferability of human capital using data on the knowledge, skills, and abilities utilized in each vocation. These estimates are then applied to verify displaced blue-collar manufacturing workers as structural "victims" given lower rates of human capital application in their new occupations compared to others displaced in the labor market. The third chapter investigates the relationship between high school employment and post-school economic outcomes, as it uses occupation-specific human capital principles to dismiss the notion that in-school employment provides the "marketable skills" necessary to stimulate post-school economic gains.

This edited collection explores the links between human capital (both in the form of health and in the form of education), demographic change, and economic growth. Using empirical as well as theoretical perspectives, the authors investigate several important issues in the context of human capital, namely population ageing, inequality, public policy, and long-term economic development. Ultimately, they demonstrate that the accumulation of human capital is of crucial importance to long-run economic growth.
