Employment Growth Of A Regional

Britain had become one the world’s most profitable countries with spending increased by 20% during this period– even though the economic growth remained at just 3%.

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.

Despite volatility in the currency and the impact of Brexit, UK and other European countries showed improvements in profits as the management took timely preventive measures to tackle the challenges. Russia, Canada, US and the middle-east countries also showed significant growth during the year.

The performance of the UK economy depends very much on the level of Aggregate demand within the economy. AD=C+I+G+(X-M). The UK economy can be judged by a number of key indicators mainly sustainable economic growth, low inflation (target 2%), a surplus on the

According to (Parkin, Powell and Matthews, 2014) Economic Growth is defined as a sustained expansion of production possibilities measured as the increase in real GDP over a period of time. Achieving economic growth depends on the government fulling one of its macroeconomic objectives between them is stable economic growth, low level of inflation, low level unemployment, and adequate level of balance of payments. UK’s economic growth fluctuates significantly year to year as mentioned by (Fyfe and Threadgould, 2013, p.1) “The trend rate of economic growth of the UK economy has been assumed for several years to be between 2.5% and 2.75% per year”. The fluctuations can be seen in Figure 1 shows detail changes in economic growth. The “Credit Crunch”, from mid-2007 to 2009 UK’s growth fell from 2.7% to -2.3% resulting in a recession. However, UK has been

As politicians and media figures laud the relatively lower aggregate unemployment rates and the ‘success’ of ‘welfare reform,’ more careful observers note the hidden unemployment official numbers do not account for and caution the optimists that the real test of the ‘Personal Responsibility Act’ will be as the economy goes into recession. Official unemployment figures go down not only when the unemployed find work, but when ‘discouraged workers’ drop out of the labor force, a process with harsh consequences:

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

Growth costs more money in taxes and costs more for government services. Growth puts more stain on the majority of the population in health and quality of life, such as increase pollution, traffic, and strain on public works, while distributing the benefits to a small segment of the community. Jobs are not created by growth, but are simply redistributed from and among other localities. Additionally, the fastest growing metropolitan areas have the most unemployment. This happens since labor is extracted from a national labor pool, and growing localities attract the unemployed who are seeking work from other localities. For labor, It is more beneficial for workers to be part of a national movement to promote full-employment, rather than support the local growth machine. Some areas that are not overpopulated have clean environments, sustainable infrastructure, and aesthetic landscapes Yet, successful competition by urban localities only help to promote depopulation, ghost towns, and depletion--or extraction--of resources in and from localities. Molotch highlights that depopulation of an area, thus declining growth, is due to political decisions in other localities to promote

Countries are enabled by free international trade to specialise or to focus in the production of the goods in which they have a comparative advantage. Specialisation countries can take the benefit of efficiencies generated from increased output and economies of trade. The size of the firm’s market are increased by the international trade which results in lower average costs and increasing in productivity, as it ultimately leads to increase in production.

This tool indicates the extent of specialization in an economy relative to another economy, in this case, the Miami economy is considered relative to US economy. The quotients are computed for given economic aggregate such as employment to indicate the relative position of the economy in the area to the benchmark economy. The location quotient of 1.0 of the employment for any industry shows that both benchmark and subject economy report similar percentage of the total employment and they are regarded equally specialized in that specific industry. A quotient of greater than 1.0 is used to describe greater specialization in that specific industry for the economy under consideration in the benchmark economy. And a less than 1.0 locational quotient mean that the subject economy is not as socialized compared to the benchmark economy in a specific industry (Council, 2012).

The economic reforms initiated by Prime Minister Margret Thatcher since 1980’s has made the United Kingdom record steady economic growth in the 1990s. However, successive Labour governments increased government spending significantly. Since 2010, the government upheld austerity as the principal of its economic policy. In 2014, the country recorded its strongest economic growth since 2007 of 2.387 trillion dollars with GDP per capita at 39,350.64 dollars. The GDP increased significantly because of the enhanced performance of the construction, manufacturing, and services sectors. Retail sales also increased with unemployment relatively at lowest

The GDP of the United Kingdom in 2016 was 2.619 trillion dollars. This represents 4.22% of the world's economy. “The GDP measures the national income and output for a given country’s economy” (Trading Economics). The GDP per capita is $39,899.39. GDP per capita is the total output divided by the number of people in the population. So you can figure out the average output per person in the United Kingdom. Per capita helps to compare one country to another, it shows the relative performance of the countries.

According to measures by GUS (2014) Mazowieckie is clearly the wealthiest and most attractive region in terms of living, working or investing, thus the disparities in economic growth between this region and the regions in the East of Poland are much higher. Witold Czudec (2013) from Portal for Innovative Trasfre of Knowledge in Science (PITWIN) has conducted a comparative study of competiveness of regions of Eastern Poland and the central region Mazowieckie. However, Mazowickie is the region pulling most of the investors as well as wealthy residents which may be a cause of research bias. In order to avoid the bias in this study Mazowieckie is left out. Instead, the two regions that will be compared in this research are the
