The proposed policy by the government is the Youth Jobs PaTH (Prepare Trial-Hire) Programme. PaTH aims to help individuals to become skilful and prepared when joining the labour force.1 The two current policies to reduce youth unemployment are: The Job Commitment Bonus, which is a policy that rewards youths up to $4000 for 2 years of work. The aim of this policy is to increase the supply of workers by receiving benefits when keeping a job. 2 These individuals are thrown into the workforce with no skills or knowledge. Compared to the PaTH program, which helps youths become more skillful and prepared for the future. The other current policy is the Work for the Dole scheme. This policy creates unemployed youths to ‘work for the dole’ in order …show more content…
The other being Australia doesn’t have enough skilled workers. By not having enough skilled workers, this creates a shortage as shown below (QL0 to QL2). This shortage is created because demand for skilled workers is greater than supply.5 3. Explain the impact of the Youth Jobs PaTH program on the market for labour. (4 marks) (Word limit 200) - How well did the student explain the impact of the proposed changes? Did the student include appropriate references to support their explanation? Were diagram/s clear and appropriate? Did students refer to economic model/s to support their case? Student Score: Poor (0) Excellent (4) The proposed change by the government, aims to help 120,000 adults aged 25 and under. These young job seekers will participate in intensive pre- skills training. This means that the supply of skilled workers will increase because there will be a greater amount of workers that are now skilled (S shifting to S’). 6 A negative impact of increasing supply over time is the possibility that surplus (QL0 to QL2) may occur. By having a surplus of skilled workers this can create the problem the government was trying to stop,
2. Unsustainable and unstable world unemployment young adults are not able to find meaning full work so they are going to trade schools but that will just shift the unemployment to an older age group. The problem with figuring out how to base an economy not on growth but rather community prosperity has not come to be. For rapid economic growth the planet cannot sustain.

Nationally the youth unemployment rate is double that of the national average. It is even worse for teens of color and teens from low-income houses. In 2014, 21 percent of African-American teens and 26 percent of Hispanic teens were able to find employment (Brookings Institute, 2016). However, research shows that being employed during high school can help with school persistence and graduation among economically disadvantaged youth, making it easier to transition into the workforce after graduation and helps reduce violent, risky, and adverse social behaviors. “The biggest driver of opportunity is whether youth, age 16-24, are employed, or in school,” said Mark Edwards, former executive director of Opportunity Nation (DMACC, 2014).
“The skilled professional jobs are currently suffering with labour shortage because they are high in demand with a limited number of people in that field” (Grant, 2015). When there is a labour shortage, the employers may “transfer or promote their workers” (Cole, Chhinzer & Dessler, 138) so they will remain in their organization to meet the strategic goals and market demand. By doing so they may increase their pay and benefits which makes it an advantage for those people who are in the professional industry and it also benefits the organization too. The organization may also hire externally but will need to go through an intensive recruitment process to select the right quality and quantity of people to meet the demands of the market and the strategic goals of the organization. Unfortunately, it is a disadvantage to the organizations because they are putting in money and time into selecting and hiring workers during the Canadian
There is significant need for a more simplified system for payment of benefits that also improves incentives to work. Customers that have previously been left to claim benefit with little or no intervention will have better access to face-to-face or telephone support. Jobcentre advisors will be given more freedom to assess customer’s needs and use their discretion in providing a personalised service.
The aim of this essay is to discuss and compare the British Welfare system with Germany and Sweden’s welfare systems. A welfare system is the structure of welfare provisions and services that provide a specific social need, but it is not only provided or organised solely by the government (Blakemore, 2001). It is a view that is rooted in individual exchanges between five organisations (State/Government, Market/Private Sector, Family/Kin networks, Local Communities and Civil Society). It reflects the history and cultures of different countries around the world (Haralambos, 2012). It is these providers that assume principal
The Working Centre uses a “triad” model, in which a newcomer, an employment counsellor, and a third party (either a job developer or settlement worker) work together to build relationships and get to know the newcomer on a case-by-case basis (Mancini, 2017). In addition, there is a “sun model” in which, whoever is supporting the newcomer or becomes a contact of that newcomer, comes into their “circle” (Mancini, 2017).
The Workforce Investment Act 1998, was a continuation of The Job Training and Partnership Act of 1982. The law was designed to create programs that would provide assistance to and train individuals for employment. This act enhanced the components of previous regulations such as funding, populations, liability, delivery of systems, structure and labor market information (Department of Labor Workforce Programs, 2015).The purpose off the act was for the betterment of the nation and to help individuals develop job skills. A chance for those who never finish school or attended college. Businesses and program proposers collaborated to develop goals that would meet the needs of the clients in which the program would

Unemployment is recognised as one of the most challenging social problems currently facing Australia. In the last two decades and more recently with the global recession high levels of unemployment have become an established feature of the South Australian social and economic landscape, with young people aged 15 to 24 years among those hardest hit by unemployment.
Money is an important component that can help ones to function properly in this society. However, money defines our self-worth and value in this society. For decades, unemployment has become a big issue in our community. The younger generation are the one who suffers the most from the crisis. In 2009 alone, 6.7 million youths joined the ranks of the unemployed, and compare this with an average annual increase of 191,000 in the 10 years before the crisis 1997 to 2007(Elder,2010). Youth unemployment is a crucial issue in our society. Unfortunately, a lot of young people are going through that situation. When it comes to find a job, young people are the less fortunate for many reasons. For instance, some employers might be biased on ages and believes that young people do not have skills or enough experiences to perform at the level required for the jobs. The problem of youth unemployment has many causes and consequences in our society. Youth unemployment can affect the economy, family relationship, increase crime rates and, mental health.
Section 3, will discuss the factors that decreased the demand for labour. Section 4, will discuss several factors, which decrease the effective supply of labor. Section 5, will be used for conclusions.
Over the last several years Ireland has experienced a dramatic change in employment. A quick study of the latest CSO “Employment and Unemployment” survey shows that jobs have been lost and gained, by sector of employment. Some sectors have seen job losses in the hundreds of thousands while other sectors have been slowly rising. The period from April 2007 to April 2013 some 266,000 jobs have been lost (CSO, 2013). The study suggests that the loss of jobs was greatest in the Construction and Industry sectors. While gains occurred in the Education, Information and Communications, and Human Health and Social Work sectors. These changes indicate that the tasks we associate with low skill and education are on the decline and the jobs that require a higher education level are on the rise [National Skills Bulletin, 2013, 28]. Due to this trend, subsidies in the Education sector should be increased to train and better equip the workforce. It would of a great benefit to the entire economy; increasing education may perhaps attract more business. Making the workforce more adaptable to change, giving people stability in their lives
