Labour economics

The Conservative party was fortunate to be in government during the period of 1951 and 1964 in the respect that they were in control in an economically prosperous time. The British public were under the illusion of the countries growing wealth, as wages had risen- the average weekly salaries rose from £8.30 in 1951 to £18.70 in 1964. 4%, and inflation never caught up with this increase. Add to this, easily available credit, and an affluent society was formed, obscuring traditional class…

them the same as male counterparts which are preferred by them. This would result in sexist employers repeatedly hiring men over women, increasing unemployment within the discriminated group. However in a free market, women are able to offer their labour for any value they see fit, increasing their employability. In this scenario, the sexist employer must pay a price in order to exercise his prejudice. If a man and a woman have identical education and skills, yet the woman is willing to work for…

around they are found to believe to be well not as nice as they appear for they enslave incident people of third world countries. More connections on how it is linked with globalization would be that on the one individual’s shirt it has a third world labour while the other guy has a briefcase with the US. Co.s. Where the Co.s meaning companies give a vivid example that most suppliers through trade and how they are built are from those third world people who were to believe they were getting a…

between the spheres of politics and economics. These two concepts can be seen as being linked. However, interconnectedness does not necessarily mean analytical concurrence and the field of PE does not always regard the interconnectedness as an axiom. Moreover, the field of PE is often presented as International Political Economy. Thus, a central question of PE is: Should Political Economy make analytical distinctions between the spheres of politics and economics and the national and…

availability of wealth within a society. Unemployment is both a cause and symptom of this problem in the sense that individuals who are unemployed are inherently disadvantaged in their place within a society whilst economic inequality also produces the inability to find work. Economic inequality should be viewed under the scope of class, the implicit (or sometimes overt) hierarchies or social forces in societies that dictate the manner of work an individual has access to or may engage in. What…

Labour force participation rate (LFPR) Working age population (WAP) - Number of people Not in the labour force = Labour force (LF) LF/(WAP)= LFPR 12,900,000 – 100,000 = 12,800,000 (12800000/12900000)*100 = 99.2% Labour force participation rate = 99.2% Unemployment rate (UER) Labour force – (Full time employees + Part time employees) = Number of unemployed people Number of unemployed people / Labour force = unemployment rate X = Number of employed people = Full time employees + Part time…

broaden their economic opportunities, as it has been said that with globalisation comes ‘new opportunities... for the people who lack them in the non-electronic world. On the Internet, nobody knows whether you are young or old, black or disabled, a man or a woman” (Ardalan 2009, p. 62). This shows that although conflict theorists may have traditionally focused on fair and equal employment, functionalists see these goals as becoming naturally available thanks to globalised economic thought.…

The neoclassical economic approach assumes that working time is perceived in terms of time allocation and related choices taken by a rational actor with regards to the consumption of time. Thereby, time is considered as a scarce resource, as a day is limited to 24 hours and therefore the main aim of the rational actors is to achieve a maximization of personal time utility (Sirianny & Negrey, 2000). This implies that the actors act in order to achieve their individual preferences and this…

Labor migration, as an important fact of economic and social life, could not stay behind attention of scientists and researchers. One of the first serious theoretical foundations of the labor movement should recall to the Neoclassical theory of migration. The basis of this concept, the formation at the forefront of international differences in wage levels. The founder of the theory is J. Hicks and his work "Theory of wages"[4]. He's one of the first scientists who has considered migration as a…
