[PEN-L:572] Query on underemployment

[Thomas Kruse <tkruse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Todya I read:

>Labor statisticians from around the world meeting in Geneva agree on new
>global standards for reporting income from employment and on-the-job
>injuries.  The statisticians had more difficulty, however, in dealing
>with a new proposal for measuring underemployment, with officials from
>the United States and other industrialized regions failing to come to an

>term.

Anybody out there have any papers, books, citations on how underemployment
is measured, the controversies, etc.?  ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated
(the nearest reaserach library of any value is in Santiago, about 6 hours
and $500 from here).
