Denham expressed that assumptions on race have to be taken cautiously lest they will be used to justify PWF’s disadvantages.

The impact of availability of skilled labour force Manpower is the most important element of the productive forces. The demographic factors are function of socio-economic development and have a great influence on economic growth.

Human development is a process of providing mechanisms through which people can flourish and attain self-actualization in their lives. The rationale of human development as a process goes beyond focusing on economic development as an indicator of people’s wellbeing. It therefore incorporates other dimensions which are crucial in establishing the extent to which people would describe quality life. Traditionally, most economists have used quantitative indicators such as GDP Per capita as a measure of people’s wellbeing in a particular economy. The reality is however, different because quantitative indicators such as these are limited to assessing economic success ...

1How does monetary policy affects the economy?

There is no doubt that national monetary policies pose a great impact on the economy of any country, that is, employment, income and investment. Theories trying to explain this mainly draw their arguments from the general nominal rigidity as applied in prices and wages. It therefore means that monetary policy has an impact on the economy due to the fact that workers and firms respond to the increase in liquidity through improved production rather than increasing the prices and or wages. Notably, there is a significant disparity in decision making as far as wage setting is concerned. Most theories ...

Canadian society is understood to widely represent things like equality, freedom, and acceptance, but this is not the case for pay equality.

Gender pay inequality has been widely discussed in various news outlets as a large problem in Canada, which has yet be properly addressed. It has been found that women earn less than men due to ...

Ancient Mesopotamians led a brutal existence, rocked by a long history of war over the control of fertile river valleys, which in light of the arid land that surrounded the region, meant life and death. The socioeconomic structure that emerged, in part out of necessity, ensured that women assumed domestic roles, but over time, these translated into massive gender inequalities. This paper asserts that women in ancient times as well as today belong to a lower class and have not been acknowledged for their contributions to the building of those societies and have not been treated equally then or today in Mesopotamia ...

The social perception social construction resulting from such perception concerning a particular group of people possessing homogenous features is the function of the prevailing economic, political and sociological conditions. As and by way of illustration, in a worsening economy, when jobs are few and far off, the government adopts protectionist policies and consequently makes the strong anti-immigration laws. This might not be the case in a thriving economy where jobs ...

Working as a labour may although act as a source of income for a lot of people proving out to be a boon but are all the dimensions of labour as attractive as it appears to be? No of course not!

Labour surely acts as a highlighting factor for the inception of any productive work. Be it a factory establishment or an organisational setup, ...

Thesis Statement

Child labour, despite the misgivings that many people have about it, has many benefits which have been overlooked. These benefits yield substantial positive change to society and individuals, and therefore child labour should not be looked with disdain.

Child labour is looked down upon in many cultures, and in the western world, it is viewed as something akin to a taboo. However, this perception is based on the relatively good economic conditions that exist in western countries, and the established social culture where children are expected and required to be schooling for the better part of their childhood. This is ...

Conventionally the debate on eco-political condition in the Arabic Gulf emphasized on its geostrategic significance including certain factors or players having the capability to destroy its oil flow, the length of dependency on oil posed on past governments in deriving ‘rent’ and the manner in which this ‘rent’ was spent (the ratio of investment and consumption). However recent events have shifted to include the national demographic profile of the countries in the Arabian Gulf in which significant focus is on the idiosyncrasies related to the labour market. This is especially with respect to the “structural employment” and “emerging strains” ...

Introduction Economists argue that macroeconomic policies are put in place to strike a state of balance in the monetary sector of an economy. This is achieved through a combination of fiscal, monetary and exchange rate policies. To attain this, policy makers get charged with the responsibility of devising appropriate policy mix and establishing efficient policy instruments to spearhead the entire macroeconomic policy formulation exercise. Usually, economists experiment with various policy mixes until they achieve the best suited policy mix to match the various factors of economy. These policies need regular review and revision to keep up with the changing trends ...

Unemployment is defined as an economic indicator that implies the proportion or the number of people in any economy who are able and willing to work, but are not able to secure jobs (Flaim, 1990). An individual in such situations is said to be simply unemployed. However, individuals who have no willingness to work but are able to work are basically referred to as being economically inactive. Higher rates of unemployment are typical of an economy which is struggling (Eguía and Echevarría, 2004). In particular, it is common in an economy where the supply of labour outstrip the demand ...

Has Canada become post industrial society?

The importance of industries in economies around the world has been the subject of many studies. For centuries, major economies have relied on specific industries to boost and maintain their wealth. In the late 20th century, we’ve seen a shift of some major industrialized economies away from producing goods toward producing services, this is what we refer to as post-industrialism. A post industrial society is one which has experienced structural changes to its economy: shift to services, decline of traditional industries and the rise of an information economy. “The information age has arrived” wrote Jeremy Rifkin in his ...

Labour is an important factor that may determine the success or a failure of a company. It is especially true for organizations like Walmart, which rely on its employees both in operations and as an interface with customers. That is why the dynamics in the labour markets as well as the quality and availability of the labour force is a large determinant of the company’s success. Conversely, Walmart’s human resource strategy may have a profound effect on the employment situation in the country.

Economists typically identify three types of unemployment: frictional, structural and cyclical, which exceed the natural level of unemployment ...
