...Disparities can be referred to any from of differences, bias or general inequality. To reduce any form of disparities, the aid provided must be effective. To provide aid is to provide poor/developing countries with a better quality of life and improve their standard of living. Effective aid would reduce disparities since the people of the country can develop, improve their standard of living, quality of life and most importantly learn to be independent. Effective aid isn’t necessarily always present, the different types of aid, such as short term, long term, conditional etc. can be assessed to determine whether they can reduce global disparities. Effective aid would be a form of aid that provides the resources needed to invest in projects and...

This may be due to lack of knowledge of their rights, their limited command of the English language and the fact that they are often reluctant to complain about their treatment by employers. They may also be...

The Head office is in London UK. It was Founded in 1873 (Tinto, 2016). There are four pillars of regulatory mechanism and competition policy in the UK and The European Commission. The legislation is contained in (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (1958)(i.e. Antitrust & cartels, Market liberalization, State aid control, Merger control) (EU, 2012). The World Bank issued a paper on Competition policy and regulatory mechanisms for the global business community and most of the countries in the world are following these principals (Rimmer, 2016). Antitrust Agreements between two or more firms which restrict competition, such as price fixing or market sharing Attempting to push a rival out of the market by predatory pricing is called Abuse of dominant position. Since 2004, national regulators (e.g. the UK) apply the EU rules. The rules apply to trade between member states in the common market. Mergers If a merger involves organisations with a turnover above a combined worldwide sales of €5bn, and €250m within the European common market it may be examined solely by the European Commission. The merger may be restricted or prevented if it impedes competition...

...ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND LEGAL AID FOR REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS; WHAT CAN THE JUDICIARY DO? Introduction Asylum seekers, regardless of their immigration status, are human beings, with fundamental and basic rights, needs and aspirations. Refugees and asylum seekers are a diverse group with one thing in common; they are subject to forced migration, and are fleeing from persecution in their countries of origin. A refugee is defined as any person who, owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality or political opinion, is outside the country of his or her nationality and is unable or owing to such fear for reasons other than personal convenience is unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of that country. Refugee status is therefore adopted for those who, having applied for asylum, have been recognized and given refugee status. It also usually encompasses those who have received ‘exceptional leave to remain’ or ‘indefinite leave to remain’. Recognition of refugee status is also a pre-requisite for other basic rights guaranteed to refugees by international law, such as the right to seek employment, to move freely and to obtain education and healthcare on the same terms as citizens. The status of an Asylum Seeker is reserved for those who have applied for asylum and are awaiting a decision on their applications and those whose applications have been refused. Refugees therefore need legal assistance as soon as they arrive in...

...to manage Africa’s health issues or their own. In particular I am going to use Zambia as my African case study. I would argue that Africans have a number of factors that make them distinctly not ‘stupid.’ For example, in Zambia 15.3% of people have AIDS, there are 600,000 orphans as a result of AIDS. In order to reduce this number, ‘Anti Aids Clubs’ have been established in schools. There is a wide network of schools in Zambia so information about prevention and protection can easily be spread and targeted at a young people. This should result in a decrease of such a high percentage of Africans in Zambia suffering. The Zambian Government have also admitted to the IHP they would benefit from ‘closer donor & international partner co-ordination.’ This shows Zambia knows that it needs to change and cannot achieve change by themselves. The first way of solving a problem is admitting to it. Therefore, the people of Zambia are clearly not being ‘stupid’ as they are not ignoring the problem. You should also take into consideration that they have already established and put into place long term aid. I would say that if you were being ’stupid’ then you would not be looking into the future, but instead only thinking about short term aid. Clearly Zambia is planning how best to go about solving this problem rationally and has looked at aspects such as only 36% of people live in urban areas and therefore, as many people would think they should do, not put a majority of the Health Care centres...

The consumer should be able to recognise the value of the produce they are buying in terms of health, animal welfare standards and impact on the environment. 3. Britain should become a leading nation in terms of food culture and farmed produce. British farmers should be encouraged to add distinctiveness and additional consumer benefits to their produce. The value of the food and farming industry should be recognised both economically and culturally. In summary, the marketing strategy starts from the consumer down and not production up. 2. Executive Summary Food is big business. Food production, manufacturing and retailing is the biggest industry in the world. UK consumers spent 133...

...which will contribute to try to affect policy decisions on national, and international levels. The United Kingdom is the sixth richest country in world, yet 1 in 5 of the UK population struggle to afford even the most essential of goods: food. Oxfam believes that everyone should have enough money to feed themselves and their family without relying on charity. Together with Trussel Trust foodbank network, which is a non-governmental organization and a partner of Oxfam who work with charity, they have helped approximately 2 million families in crisis across the United Kingdom. But Oxfam believes that food banks aren’t the solution by themselves, therefore Oxfam works in some of the poorest communities in the UK. In these communities voluntaries helps the parents of primary school children, build confidence, educate them, and most important help children get the best possible start in life. Oxfam has over 1200 second-hand shops worldwide, which sell any thing donated items. around 750 of the the stores are located in the UK, around 100 of them are specialist shops which specialize in books, furniture, bridal wear and music. Oxfam was confirmed as the largest retailer of second-hand books in Europe selling approximately 12 million per year. In the year of 2008 they did raise £17,1 million from their UK shops and had over 20.000 volunteers working in them. The money is used to pay to different charities or one of Oxfam’s many programs.

...in an economic perspective for the economy that desires to meet the needs of its people. Budgeting also aids an economy to hypothesise and attain the best output and revenue from the dealings in the production process. As such budgeting and forecasting serve the basic role of the economic progress of the economy based on the operations of the countries to attain the millennium development goals. Basically, the budgeting approaches used by the economy may create the deficit or at some point result in the surplus. Reduction in tax payments, increased unemployment, poor planning, increased military spending and poor projection and underestimations result in the budget deficit. During periods of economic recession in some country budget deficit is also likely to be experienced. Expansionary fiscal policy may lead to budget deficit since it involves increase in government spending. Such condition is very challenging to the economic growth and development and may also increase the rate of borrowing of a country to surpass its budget (Aaron, 2014, pp. 1). Budget deficit can be explained as the difference between the government revenue and the government expenditure calculated over some set period (one year). It occurs when the expenditure has exceeded the income for some set period of time. In most cases the result is an increase in government borrowing as was the case in the UK. When the government is operating at the deficit and still the economy is strong, it becomes the challenge...

...of immigration has soared in Britain. 150.000 Rumanians are believed to live in London alone, and the net immigration to Britain between 1991-2012 was more than three million.1 The massive level of immigrants has left a negative opinion about immigrants. According to surveys, 60% believed that immigrants did more harm than good, and 77% believed that a dramatic reduction in immigration would benefit the economy.2 The government of the UK has been criticised for not doing their job well enough. The public opinion is that immigration is a burden to public service and the country but that they may still be important for some parts of the national economy. Immigrants are believed important in order to take jobs that native British people do not want. According to new researches, the public opinion is mostly wrong. OECD presented a report back in 2011 stating that immigration was neither beneficial nor harming for national economies. The Offices for National Statistics presented another report, concluding that immigrants in the UK gets better education than their British counterparts.3 But how come that the public opinion is so, when facts are stating something different? What do the British people see, that studies are unable to catch? What has caused this immigration phobia? Ladies and...

...- Case Study 1. Synopsis of the Case study UNISON is Britain and Europe’s biggest trade union that represents the 1.3 million strong workforce. The case study explains in the details, the analysis of the PEST analysis of the Migrant Workers Participation Project that is being run by them in U.K now. As a part of EU, U.K allows immigration of workforce from all E.U countries except Romania and Bulgaria. UNISON intends to enroll these immigrants as a part of their organization, so that they are aware of the laws and regulations of the country. The immigrants would come to know through this about their legally allowed working hours, taxes etc., which otherwise they wouldn’t have asked their employees, fearing losing their jobs. They also intend to help migrant workers overcome issues in various different ways, e.g. producing workers’ rights leaflets in 11 different languages. It also intends to enlighten the employers about the issue and help them in communicating to their immigrant worker population. This is being done as the immigrant population has benefited the U.K economy by adding workforce in various fields, which were otherwise being done by the ageing U.K population. This has also benefitted U.K because of the greater work ethic, which the immigrants bring along. 2. Explain the purpose and benefits of PEST analysis. The purpose of the PEST analysis is to analyze the external environment surrounding the migrant workers. It helps them analyze the issues, which...

...According to the world university rankings compiled by the Times Higher Education, more than half of the world’s top 200 universities are located in either the US or the UK. Both countries share a rich tradition of quality higher education, excellent research facilities, and a culture that promotes intellectualism as well as academic freedom. However, while both certainly provide an excellent environment for learning, there are many differences between the two countries regarding the structure of the university as well as student life. In this article, we will explore the primary differences between the American and British systems of education. Length of Time Perhaps the most important difference between the education system in the US, and the UK, is the amount of time it takes to finish your degree (except in Scotland, where a bachelor’s degree also lasts four years). In general, degree programs in the US take about one year longer than programs in the UK, although this varies depending upon whether you receive a Master’s degree prior to a PhD. In both systems, you can go directly to a PhD program out of your undergraduate program, but in the UK it is more common to complete a Master’s degree program before moving on to a PhD. Courses of study are shorter in the UK because the course programs are generally much more focused than in the US. Academic Term Most universities in the US begin their terms in mid to late August, although smaller liberal arts colleges may start...
