1 Mining closures, gender, and employment reallocations: the case of UK coal mines Fernando Aragon (SFU), Juan Pablo Rud (Royal Holloway) and Gerhard Toews (Oxcarre) November 24, 2016
2 Collapse In December 2015 the last deep coal mine in Britain closed!
3 Why should we care?
4 Collapse Fastest and most acrimonious deindustrialisation process in the developed world (Beatty and Fothergill, 1996; Glyn and Machin, 1997; Foden et al., 2014). Employment fell from almost 240,000 workers in 1981 to around 60,000 in 1991.
5 Collapse
6 What happens to local economies once the resource is exhausted?
7 Experiment Ideal Experiment: Take several resource rich (local) economies and then randomly destroy the extractive industry in some. Natural Experiment: In 1984 Margaret Thatcher famously declared war to the labour unions and within 10 years nearly completely destroyed the coal industry.
8 Questions What happened to laid-off miners in the long run? What happened to productivity in other sectors? What is the effect on the reallocation of labour?
9 Questions What happened to laid-off miners in the long run? What happened to productivity in other sectors? What was the effect on the reallocation of labour?
10 Main story The lay off of miners in a male dominated industry 1 results in a persistent substitution effect: crowding out of females in other industries. This is important as there is a documented link between women s labour opportunities and......bargaining power within the family;...children s well being;...political influence. 1 Example: Females represent only 4.4% of the labour force in the extractive industries in India.
11 Results For the average mining district, mine closures reduced the share of women in manufacturing 2 by 3 percentage points. This reduction represents around 10% of the initial values in Similar effect in services albeit not as strong.
12 Background Coal played a key role in UK s industrial revolution and subsequent economic growth (Fernihough and O Rourke, 2014). After WWII the coal industry started a long decline due to increased availability of cheaper substitutes. The increase in oil prices in the early 1970s slowed down the decline in production and employment.
13 Strike in 1984 In 1984 the UK government announced the closure of 20 pits and information of the closure of 70 additional pits was leaked to the public. The National Union of Mineworkers called for a general strike. Thatcher declares war: We had to fight the enemy without in the Falklands. We always have to be aware of the enemy within, which is much more difficult to fight and more dangerous to liberty. 30% of pits closed by 1986 and 90% by 1994.
14 Collapse
15 Predictions We use the model to derive 4 intuitive hypotheses: 1 Decrease in population size and employment; 2 Re-allocation of workers from mining to manufacturing (Corden and Neary, 1982); 3 Substitution of male for female workers in manufacturing; 4 Decrease in wages of male and female workers.
16 What do we do?
17 Data Mining Data: Collect data on the location of mines and the number of employees. Population and Employment Data (by gender and industries): UK population Census aggregated to 339 districts. Employ. and Wage Data (by gender, industries and occupation): New Earning Survey aggregated to 50 counties.
18 Identification We exploit the dramatic closure of coal mines during the 1980s as a quasi natural experiment. Empirical strategy is essentially a Diff-in-Diff: compare mining districts and neighbouring districts before and after the closure.

Columns 1 to 2 use a sample of manufacturing workers. In column 3 to 4 we use the sample of service worers (excluding government, health and education and research workers). Sample includes only counties located within 30 miles of a mine for years 1975 to Number of counties = 38.

27 Assumptions 1 1 factor of production = labour: two types of workers: men and women 2 Small local economy: two tradable goods sectors: mining and manufacturing workers are mobile, but have idiosyncratic preferences over location 3 Gender bias: mining employs only men manufacturing employs both (imperfect substitutes) Substitution 4 Mine closure: negative shock to demand of male workers
