LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
LABOR
* very important resource. It is important that some noted economists postulate that labor is the source of value.
LABOR PROBLEMS * is an economics term widely used toward the turn of the twentieth century with various applications. It has been defined in various ways, such as "the problem of improving the conditions of employment of the wage-earning classes." A possible cause is the failure to account for the negative externality of reproduction in the face of finite natural resources which results in over-supply of labor and falling living standards for wage-laborer. Represents conflictsa on social reality with social ideals that normally rise out of employment.
AREAS OF LABOR PROBLEMS

1. UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT * A person is considered UNEMPLOYED if he is least 15 years of age willing and able to work but cannot find work. * Unemployment is not only consider an economic problem, but also a social problem. * Uneployment can lead to petty crimes or outright hold-ups and robberies. * Can also lead to social dissatisfactions. The government must, therefore, place the problem of unemployment among it’s first priorities. * UNDEREMPLOYMENT, is another problem. Underemployed is an employed person who works for less than 40 hours per week, despite the fact that he wants to work for more hours. * Underemployment exists in some part time work (Jeepney drivers who works in shifts) and in substantially large agriculturally based jobs. * VISIBLE UNDEREMPLOYMENT is defined as the number of people working less than 40 hrs per week and wanting additional work. * INVISIBLE UNDEREMPLOYMENT is defined as the number of people working 40 hrs or more per week

    O’Toole and Lawler note that today corporations provide higher levels of sales or services, but employ fewer people. This down-sizing, or reduction in employees, has resulted in frightening job insecurity and intensified levels of stress for employees as they pick up the additional work. Another demand stems from pay-for-performance programs implemented to get more productivity out of employees. These programs provide fixed, but decreased, salaries and put the remaining portion of pay at risk and dependant upon performance (O’Toole and Lawler 69-70). Globalization has broadened the marketplace but introduced varying time zones and language barriers, requiring the man who once had to market simply to his community to exert more precious time and effort in order to complete his job. A report done by The Families and Work Institute discovered that the forty hour work week no longer exists, as one out of every four American workers works at least one additional day on the…

    To be considered an ‘unemployed person’ you must be without work or a job, available to begin work and actively seeking new employment. The main reasons that people are usually left unemployed in Australia and around the world can be due to a person leaving their original job in search for a new one, jobs being season, for example fruit picking or working in a ski resort. Two other reasons that lead to unemployment is a reduction in consumer spending, therefore reducing the need for workers, and the use of new technology that can be used to effectively replace an employee.…

    With unemployment we need to see the “bigger picture”, past our own perspective, why there are so many people without work. An unemployed person may think that because he or she can’t find work that it is his or her problem alone. Instead it can be seen as a social issue if many thousands of people in society are also unemployed and struggling to find work. The approach which should also be taken when dealing with a complex issue such as unemployment is that the stereotypes about the issue should be discarded because…
