An International Food Market That Only Hires Individuals Who Are Unemployed Will Help Combat The Social Issue Of Unemployment

Australia has been able to lower its unemployment rate in recent five years. The study explains the unemployment rate in Australia, reasons of unemployment, existence of youth unemployment, scenario of west and south Australian

An increase or decrease in the unemployment rate can have a multiple effects on the Australian economy, both beneficial as well detrimental to the economic conditions and the societal outlook.

In Australia there is a consensus that think that the unemployed don’t want to work and are not willing to find work; this claiming that they are lazy and conning the government for benefits (if they receive them). However, not all unemployed actually enjoy being without a job to survive and struggle with not having enough job opportunities, not being able to work due to lack of qualifications and not willing to take a job that will lead them to deficit (Csoba, 2010). Looking at it from a conflict theorist’s point of view it is people who have the money and the power that generate these limitations that unemployed members of society face. For

Through my learning of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing, it was mentioned that most indigenous people were unemployed or experienced poverty, the statistics allowed me to put these statements into perspective. Upon learning this I felt quite shocked and alarmed at the high rates of people that were not working or even trying to find work. It gave me a better understanding of how seeking employment for indigenous people may be a stressful and daunting process. But it also made me think on how unemployment can affect the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

K.Moser found that unemployment was a key factor in health issues in society, mortality rates were higher for those who were unemployed and the prospect of unemployment is detrimental to the health of an individual. M.H.Brenner (1977) suggested loss of a job is like bereavement but isn’t seen or respect as such (7).

Unemployment is a major issue as it affects around 1.58 million people in the UK (Clegg, 2017). This is exploited in the media, unemployment and the benefit system is used as entertainment. Television programmes such as Benefits Street (Benefits Street, 2014) do not show unemployed people living off benefits in a good light; they are also always portrayed negatively. Unemployment is seen as a social concern as the media targets people who are on benefits and who fit a stereotype and make them the person that everyone should blame for society problems with unemployment and the economy. This needs to addressed as many people on benefits are seeking work and are not the benefit cheats that the media makes them out to

However, life has changed, globalization and feminism have had a huge impact on the work environment all around the world. Technology has also made many jobs easier, yet very, very similar. Because of these changes, unemployment has become an issue all around the globe. The government views the unemployment situation as an individual problem.  From the government’s perspective, unemployment is due to the lack of training of the individual.  However, because

Large businesses dominate our local and global food systems controlling most of production, processing, distribution, marketing and retailing of food. This gives big businesses the power to eliminate competition and dictate their own terms to their suppliers forcing farmers and consumers into poverty and malnutrition. As a result, movements such as food security, global food supply initiatives and Food Sovereignty have been created to combat the damage big corporations have caused on farmers and communities. The food security movement and the global food supply initiatives both strive for safe and adequate amount of food to be available to communities to reduce poverty and malnutrition on a global scale. However, both differ in that food security pushes for the right for all people to have physical, social and economic access to safe, adequate and nutritious food for an active and healthy life (ACIAR, "Food Security and why it matters", 2012) whereas, the global food supply initiative leans more towards improvements in food safety management systems to have all consumers access to safe food. (Buhot) On that note, a third relatively new movement has been created called food sovereignty which presents a broader concept and solutions on solving problems of hunger and malnutrition. Food sovereignty focuses on the right of peoples, communities and countries to define their own agricultural, labour, fishing, food and land polices which are ecologically, socially, economically and

Unemployment is seriously a big problem, because it threatens the unemployment people’s psychological and metal health. It can cause depression, anxiety, demoralization and low self-esteem, which all influence their health. However, the unemployment does not just affect the health, it is also influential to the human lives. When the rate of the unemployment

1933 Three-quarters of the adult male Māori population was registered as unemployed yet it was harder for unemployed Māori to qualify for relief. Even when they did qualify, they received benefits at a lower rate.

Sociologists study human society. Their subject matter includes human behaviour in various social contexts, social interaction, social institutions and organisation, social change and development (Haralmbos, Van Krieken, Smith & Holborn 1999). For this reason, unemployment is an issue which sociologists delve. Unemployment has far reaching affects in all areas of society. Stratification in the areas of age, race, class, gender, ethnicity, sex and disability is rife amongst the employed and unemployed alike, unemployment creates further segregation amongst these already stratified people. This essay will look at unemployment from the functional and conflict theory

Nearly a third of all unemployment in New Zealand affects youth (Youth Labour Market, 2013), where in 2015 where unemployment in 15-24 year olds reached 15.33% (Youth Unemployment, 2015). Unemployment in low socio economic youth is a major problem in New Zealand; those out of a job in 15 to 19 year olds has reached 28.7% in those of Maori ethnicity and 31.7% of Pacific Island compared to 13.4% of Europeans (Gaps between ethnic, 2000). These stats proving that there is a major income gap and that in New Zealand there is a

In the article “How to feed nine billion” that’s written by Evan Fraser & Andrew Rimas, who each bring their own view towards as they raise the issue of global food crisis. The global food crisis is an ongoing stigma in today’s world, one that has afflicted the lives of millions across the globe. The article speaks about the global food market, of how fragile it is, by using various real life examples supported by statistics. It does so, however, from almost an purely economic standpoint. It highlights the highs and lows of the market, but also how quick is to change and how it has effected nations such as Africa and Russia, but never undermining the true magnitude of it’s presence in today’s world, labeling it a matter of “Disaster or survival” (Fraser E., & Rimas A., 2012). Solutions offered relate to the problems trifling our economies, and explaining how economic management can help solve this crisis as well as technological innovation. Thus this article attempts to educate the reader of the current state of the global food market but as well as the severe effects it can have if not cared for properly. The critical reflection will weight the strengths and weakness of the article.

Unemployment is defined as a situation that occurs when a person is seeking employment but is unable to find work (Altbeker & Storme, 2013). Unemployment is a socio-economic challenge with economic costs that reduces economic wellbeing, reduces output and wears down human capital (Lie, 2007). Such a cost makes unemployment a high priority in South Africa (Bridgstock, 2009). The South African economy has been experiencing rising unemployment over many years. In 2011, the unemployment rate was at 24.2% and in 2013 it had increased to 25.2%, affecting the socio-economic status of communities and households in South Africa (Statistics South Africa, 2014).

The OECD Economic Surveys: New Zealand (2017) indicated that New Zealanders enjoy comparatively high living standards, and economic growth remains strong even compared with the highest-performing OECD countries. However, there are long-term challenges from low growth in productivity, which is well below the leading OECD countries; living standards; and social well-being. According to OECD data on labour productivity and utilization (OECD, 2107a), GDP per capita can be broken down into growth in labour productivity and changes in the extent of labour utilization. Labour productivity growth is a key dimension of economic performance and an essential driver of changes in living standards. New Zealand has a growth rate of 0.6, which gives it
