...Unemployment is the situation in which one does not have any opportunity to work and earn. An unemployed person can not earn his living. He has to depend on others . He is thought as a burden to the family or the society. So, it is regarded as a problem. Unemployment is common every where in the world. No country in the world is completely is free form it. So, Bangladesh is not exception from it. Rather, this problem is very serious in our country. Many people are badly suffering from the curse of unemployment. There are many direct or indirect causes of unemployment. They are as follows: Our country is over populated. The rate of population growth is very high. So the present job facilities can not keep pace with the growing population. Besides, our country is not developed in industries. They can absorb only a limited number of people. Again, our education system is very defective. It is traditional and depends on memorization. It does not make them self-reliant. There is less opportunity for vocational training. So, only the memorized bookish knowledge does not help them in the work field. Moreover, our students have a false sense of prestige to become officers. They hanker after only for official jobs. So they remain unemployed. Then, there is serious lack of skilled manpower. This limits the scope of jobs. We have a lot of natural resources but we can not use these properly. This also causes the problem. Lastly, many illiterate people believe in a false notion such...

Perhaps now-a-days UN employment has become the biggest problem of the world. Even advanced countries like U.S.A, France and Germany are also facing unemployment. It has created frustration in the youth. Not only educated but the skilled youths are also in the grip of unemployment. There are many reasons of UN employment. Everywhere population is increasing but sources are decreasing. Our education systems creating youths who know only reading and writing. They do not learn practical skill. If a job is not available for them, they cannot start their own business. Then there is no dignity of labour. Division of money is also wrong. The rich are getting richer and poor are getting pooprer. In our country, there is lack of industries. Local industries have not been encouraged. Policy of loans is also wrong. Only the influential people can get loans. The defaulters are no severely with. The need of future is not kept in view when new policies are made. Unemployment given birth to many social evils. Its reason is that empty minds are Devil’s workshop. Unemployment people indulge in the theft, robbery, corruption, black marketing and smuggling. When our youth fail to maintain their status through fair means. They adopt unfair means. Social evils develop in that way...

...Unemployment Problem in Bangladesh Unemployment means the state of being without any work both for the educated and uneducated for earning one's livelihood. Unemployment problem has become a great concern all over the world. But nowhere in the world is this problem as acute as in Bangladesh. Thousands of people in our country are without any job. In 2010, Bangladesh’s unemployment rate was 5.1% (Source: Bangladesh Burrow of Statistics). Source: UN data, Country Profile: Bangladesh Cause of unemployment: Bangladesh, suffers from large-scale underemployment; especially in agriculture, a large part of the population could be removed without reducing agricultural output. Beyond agriculture, disguised unemployment also exists in industries, offices and organizations, particularly in the public sector. Unemployment among the educated youths is rather high in Bangladesh. The unemployment rate for the population having secondary education and above is significantly higher than those with a lower level of education. The unemployment rate for educated women is higher compared to the male population. In Bangladesh salaried employment in the formal sectors is not big enough to take care of the huge number of unemployed. Employment promotion, especially, creation of self-employment opportunities, continues to be the most important function of the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training. The Fifth Five-Year Plan (1997-2002) had set a target of creating additional employment of 6...

Most of these people do not have jobs, and are limiting the economic potential of the community. If these people were to get jobs then the Alpena area would greatly benefit from their contribution to the economy. Unemployment is a problem that every state has and can contribute to homelessness. By increasing the workforce in the Alpena area, other organizations will be able to come in and provide their services to this community. The issue is apparent and a way to fix it is to provide jobs to the unemployed. A resolution to this problem is providing...

...growing problems. Among all problems, unemployment problem is a great one. The problem has spread its evil clutch all over the country. It is going from bad to worse. All are getting concerned with this problems. There are many cause behind it. The first and for most cause is over population. Her population is growing very rabidly. After independence, the population has been doubled. In respect of population, it is eighth largest country in the world. The country cannot provide this huge population with employment opportunities. So, many people fall into this problem. There are plenty of natural resources in our country. They are not properly used. This also create the problem. There are few mills and factories in this country. A small number of people are engaged there.Besides, every year two or three mills are closed due o economic loss. Thus the scope of employment is narrowing. Most people are illiterate. They are not involved in productive work. This another cause. Our educational system is defective. The present educational system is not fit for practical life. Professional and vocational training is absent in this system. Beside our students nourish a false sense of self dignity. They are not keen to do manual labor. Rather they like to remain unemployed . There is no distribution of national wealth. It is also responsible for the problem. Some people think that everything is predestined by God. So, there is use of try. They like remain idle.

...Reducing Unemployment and Underemployment in the United States Name Institutional Affiliation Reducing Unemployment and Underemployment in the United States Reducing Unemployment Unemployment and underemployment are one of the main economic concern in many countries or states in the world today. It is a biting problem in many economies, and governments are always seeking a new way of solving this problem (Miller, 2011, p. 14) According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment is a situation where a person does not have a job, but have actively searched in the past four weeks (American Vocational Association, 2008, p. 24). It also includes people who have been laid off for more than seven days. There are many reasons why people end up being unemployed. Understanding the reasons for unemployment is essential in coming up with a solution to the high rate of unemployment in the United States. The most important causes of unemployment are structural, cyclical and seasonal unemployment (Borts, 2010, p. 28). The United States has experienced approximately 11 recessions since 1948 when the postwar ended. The different government regimes have tried various methods over the years to turn around recessions and reduce the high rates of unemployment. Some government regimes have embarked on tax while others have embarked on stimulus spending. Unemployment rate in America remained high at 7.6 % in June 2013 (Clague, 2009,...

...Social Integration (Unemployment) Name Professor SOC 100 1/24/2014 Challenges of Social Integration (Unemployment) Unemployment is a situation whereby there are people in the society with the desire to work, but without enough jobs for everyone. Presently, unemployment is amongst the biggest problems that affects many countries globally. Unemployment is caused by numerous challenges. One of the reasons that lead to unemployment is that numerous people are dissatisfied with their salaries. This is a feeling that many people undergo because they feel they are not earning enough money for their work. In turn, they prefer taking unemployment benefits instead of taking up any job. Another reason is because presently there are few companies in most of the countries. In every society there must be people who are unemployed. There are various different types of unemployment, which include hard-core, structural, seasonal, frictional and cyclical. Statistics about unemployment around the globe are numerous. Several researchers gained interest of understanding the challenges behind unemployment. For instance the United States, there is financial crisis and ensuing deep recession associated to the sharp increase of unemployment. The U.S. unemployment rate peaked at 10.1% in October 2009. By looking at the adjustment of changes in demographic composition of the labor force, it is evident that this is the highest rate of unemployment ever witnessed since...

...Unemployment in the World Today Today, we face economic struggles that seem to have no end. We face many different problems from our forefathers because things are just different today. Technologies, the way people do even the simplest tasks change everyday and the world has to change along with it. The Unites States has now entered a Recession. “A recession is a general slowdown in economic activity in a country over a sustained period of time, or a business cycle contraction. During recessions, many macroeconomic indicators vary in a similar way. Production as measured by Gross Domestic Product, employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household incomes and business profits all fall during recessions. (Recession)” Many different people have many different solutions to this recession problem. Some do not even see it as a problem. There are also many different reasons that people believe it happened. The face is that a recession today is not okay. In this essay, I am going to write on unemployment and how it is affecting us today. Unemployment is a huge problem with recessions, people have to work to simply live. However, some unemployment is unavoidable. When people stop working then they get more dependent on the government, and the government really does not need that. Especially when we are so far in debt as we are now. The governments debt of today is $11,047,905,411,741.70 and that is not a good thing for us as Americans or future generations of Americans...

...large spatial disparities in unemployment within national economies is a central issue in regional economics. Explanations that exist within the literature for why regional unemployment disparities have been so much more persistent over time in the EU than in the US can be broadly separated to the hysteresis and equilibrium arguments. Before illustrating the analysis and strength of these arguments it is important to ascertain the scale of persistent unemployment disparities across EU regions and U.S states, and why this may be a cause for concern. Regional disparities in unemployment rates are dramatically significant in Europe. In 2001, the average unemployment rate in the EU was 7.8%, but it ranged from 1.7% in Berkshire (UK) to 24.9% in Calabria (Italy).[1] These disparities are present even within single countries, where the range of unemployment rates is much higher than in the US. Disparities in European regional unemployment rates are also extremely persistent. In the US the correlation between regional unemployment rates between 1997-2004 is only 0.3, indicating that over two-thirds of any regional unemployment problem is solved over that period. In Europe, however, the correlation averages 0.83, suggesting that very little adjustment takes place. (Figure 1 in Appendix)[2] This is not a recent phenomena but persistence appears to have been the main feature of behaviour of regional unemployment disparities in European regions...

...and social problems in advanced capitalist economies. I am from China where a communist country is. It is a trend to change the governmental structure to capitalism, because the China’s economy is progressing that provides Chinese residents with better life and personal consciousness. All of these aspects influence the development of economic and governmental construction. In the countries of capitalism, there are three economic problems that exist in the society which the paper indicates the following aspects, such as mass unemployment, income inequality and environmental decay. Unemployment means that a significant portion of the population is not being allowed to participate fully in society. Mass unemployment is the result of economic depression, and income distribution is related to labor market. In the paper cites the two problems are endemic in the capitalist economies in that they are the natural results of the interplay of market force and the drive for capital to expand itself. I think unemployment and inequality are closely related to each other. Unemployment is the reason and inequality is the outcome. If a society wants to maintain its status quo, it must provide corresponding goods and service consumed to ensure the synchronization with the market. Employee and goods have been used up in the produced process. If the procedure is failure, it results the society shrink and the reduction in the living standard. Because of this principle raises the problem of distribution...

...Burns Western Governors University Unemployment is a Serious Social Issue Unemployment is the condition and extent of individuals out of work within an economy, measured by the “official” unemployment rate (U-5). This measure is the number of unemployed workers divided by the total civilian labor force. As of June the “official” unemployment rate stands at 9.2%. What is rarely reported, and even more ominous, is the underemployment rate. This rate includes two groups that are not considered in the official unemployment rate: discouraged and part-time workers (U.S. Congress, 1986, p. 12). As of June 2011 the U-6 rate stands at 16.2%. There is evidence that underemployment is pervasive in the United States. Some types can be measured more easily than others but it is apparent that many Americans are underemployed (Meyer, 1985, p.20) and because that figure is rarely ever spoken about, the costs, hardships and extent of unemployment are not fully reported or understood (U.S. Congress, 1986, p. 12). Recent studies suggest that unemployment has become a serious social issue in the United States due to the under-reported unemployment rate, the increase in financial hardship to American families, and the policies of government. Body When we do not include individuals who are discouraged, or those working part-time in the “official” unemployment rate, we are underreporting the true extent of unemployment, and creating various socioeconomic problems. Exactly what is the definition of...

...The Effects of Unemployment Roderick C. LaGrone COM 150 January 28, 2011 Holly McCusker The Effects of Unemployment Over the past ten years there has been a great shift in society’s employment system. Corporate America has taken major cutbacks in the working labor department that has left many citizens unemployed and destitute. Anger and concern over layoffs, wage unproductivity, declining benefits, and the movement of jobs overseas has left citizens with harsh and undesirable views of the actions and motivations of Corporate America. With the unemployment rate on a downward slope, American citizens have become distressed which has resulted in emotional, social, and, economic hardships. Even though the unemployment rate in the decline many families are still in distress because of the social and economic problems caused widespread company layoffs. Can Corporate America offer our families a better way of life ? The unemployment rate has been on a slow decline over the past few months which indicate a slow improvement in the job market. Even though the decline is a positive indication, many companies are not hiring at an alarming rate. Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the number of unemployed persons decreased by 556,000 to 14.5 million in December, and the unemployment rate dropped to 9.4 percent. Over the years, these measures were down from 15.2 million and 9.9 percent, respectively. As the economy continues to slowly recover many Americans are still trying...
