literature review starts with a survey of theories of international migration, the emergence of Filipino Labour Diaspora, focusing on the role of the Philippine state. Consequently, it examines the role of Canadian state in attracting FLCMs to work as domestic workers in Canada. Lastly, it examines the role of the market in perpetuating gender role and victimization in labor diaspora. 1. Theories of International Migration Theories of international migration studies often neglect the role of the state

demand shock causes a region’s rate of unemployment to increase, which is involuntary. Mechanisms that deal with such negative shocks so unemployment returns to its equilibrium level include the real wage flexibility mechanism and the out-migration mechanism. There are more mechanisms but these two seem to be empirically easier to analyse and are the most significant. Should none of these mechanisms operate then a region is said to exhibit pure hysteresis. Unemployment hysteresis

Kim 6 ASSIGNMENT 1 1. Chapter 1 (page 34) 1) Why is economics central to an understanding of the problems of development? It is because that the development of a country depends on economic factors. Economics helps you to interpret how a country is developing, economic policies of a country that determine whether or not it develops and how fast it develops if it performs. In addition, economics helps you to understand how wealth and finance are distributed, and the causes and effects of borrowing
His theory can be simplified as the following model: Y = f(L, K, N), whereby Y represented aggregated output, L for labour, K for capital and N for land. A key parameter in deciding the economic growth can be noted here as “L”-labour. After Smith, Harrod-Domar
closely related to the increase of aggregated output (Broadberry, 2011, Hausmann and Hidalgo, 2011). Many scholars have interest in economic growth because it has potential both for reducing poverty (Ravallion, 2001; Goudie and Ladd, 1999), and raising people’s living standard (Dupont, 2015; Jackson, 2008). Economic growth is a complicated economic process which may be influenced by many possible elements and factors. But during the century-long developing history of growth theories, labour

SMEs engagements have to become a dynamic and integral part of the market economy. The identification of factors that determine new venture performance such as survival, growth or profitability has been one of the
analysis, based on 98 countries from 1960-1985, uses school-enrolment rates as representations for human capital, supported the convergence hypothesis of neoclassical growth models, and says; if poor countries have high human capital than they tend to catch up with rich countries, but only in relation to level GDP per capita. Further stated; ‘As a related matter, countries with high human capital have low fertility rates and high ratios of physical investment to GDP’. Dauda, Risikat,Oladoyin S (2010)
Literature review: Gender Earnings Gap and Economic transition Economic theories of discrimination proffer different perspectives for understanding gender pay gaps. One ¬widely cited perspective discussed by Polachek (2004) emphasizes the role of human capital theory, which suggests that improvements in skills and productivity through investments in human capital characteristics such as education and job training are beneficial to individuals in that they increase lifetime income. Given that more
