Vargas instituted many policies during his time. Many of which were meant to benefit Brazilian lives. The recently increasing industrialization of Brazil caused the creation of a new middle class. Vargas sought to help the workers because of this new middle class. He created many jobs because of his emphasis on industrialization. He also created minimum wages and gave women new rights in the workplace. Because of all this Vargas was given much appreciation by workers, because no leader before Vargas cared about the lives of any of these people. Even though this was great for the people a lot of these policies came at a cost. According to historian Rex A. Hudson (1998), “Despite Vargas’s pro-labor policies, reforms were never sufficient to raise
Through the late 1800s and the early 1900s, the division between financial classes was great. Big businesses and monopolies ruled the market, making great financial powers such as J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and more. On the other hand, middle to lower class citizens struggled to pay their bills, lived in houses of fifteen people, worked in mine shafts from the age of twelve, and had miserable lives in the city. The lives of the lower class was captured by Jacob Riis. Jacob Riis was an American journalist most famously known for his photographs of the slums of New York City. He compiled his photograph into a book called, How the Other Side Lives. This set of photographs inspired the social welfare reform effectively through American cities because it brought the issue to the people.

Being the witness from the Factory Commission, from the his/her point view, he saw many people leave their comfortable, better conditioned jobs, in order to obtain higher wages. People did this because most of the population at the time were working low waged jobs and wanted to live a better life.
Nether less, some high officials did not agree with Clinton’s bill and resigned from their job. Wendell Primus, a director over income security, was one of the individuals that could not support Clinton. Primus, believed it was wrong to cut everyone from welfare, because there were people who actually needed the assistance. Also, Primus did a study that when the safety net is weakened, there is a higher poverty rate. However, Primus agreed he was all for the Wisconsin Works Program., where everyone has the opportunity to work for the income they receive. Meanwhile, taking all the assistance away is wrong.
While president jackson had replaced many of his workers with supporters of him which had then become the “spoil system”. After he had given the jobs the workers had helped to make America more democratic as well. Jackson had also replaced the old causes with his own method of voting
Cesar Chavez was an American farm worker labor who was a leader and civil rights activist. Later, in 1962, Chávez founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), later renamed the United Farm Workers (UFW), which became the voice of migrant farm workers throughout the United States. Cesar Chavez tactics were successful because his childhood experiences with discrimination made him get the courage to fight for their rights; besides he became passionate about improving the way of life for farm workers and for his people; additionally he also used nonviolence tactics, for example boycotts and strikes, nevertheless when the California Senate considered a bill
His election came to influence workers, peasants, and pobladores in that they saw a perfect time to organize the push for socialization in the workforce.
During the years of the Great Depression, Asian and Mexican immigrants had to take up the agricultural jobs in the United States. These immigrants made up the majority of the poor and faced problems with immigration, taxes, and the labor system, along with racial discrimination and a sense of inequality within society (Tejada-Flores, “The United”) Workers were surviving on 90 cents per hour with an addition of 10 cents per basket gathered for working in the fields and worked in poor environments and conditions. There were no toilets in the fields and no electricity or a plumbing system in the metal shacks that they were forced to pay two dollars or more per day for (“Fighting For Farm”). People then created and joined labor unions such as The United Farmworkers Union, which was established by the Mexican-American, Ceasar Chavez, to fight against injustice without violence for all farm workers. Chavez took all his important values, life lessons, and work experience to make a difference in the United States (Tejada-Flores, “Cesar Chavez”). Although he faces opposing opinions, he still managed to successfully lead the Delano grape strike and boycott and even help create the nation as we know it today.
Cesar Chavez is a well renowned labor leader in American history. César Estrada Chávez was raised by a poor family of migrant farm workers. He had little to no time for school or freetime activities with his peers and experienced many bias racial comments because of his Mexican-American heritage. Despite this, César grew to become a gifted leader who inspired thousands of people to fix their lives and make it better. In the 1960’s César founded the United Farm Workers, an organization that led the members to fight for improved working conditions.
He enjoyed the idea that everybody was equal, but he still showed resentment towards it. His inner conflict between these two ideas and his experiences as a member in the Spanish Civil War caused him to choose a median between the community ideals which he saw and the individual ideals which he missed: “I have seen wonderful things and at last really believe in socialism, which I never did before” (qtd. in Chen).
Castro’s revolution was a complete turnaround for the government of Cuba. Under Batista (Cuba's leader at the time), four thousand workers' retirement funds were embezzled. In 1959, when he was overthrown, Castro began implementing various methods of socialist reform. “We will eventually give you what you need, but rather - Here you have it, fight for it with all your might so that liberty and happiness may be yours!” (Carey, Jr. 37). His main goal in his regime was to establish a socialist society in Cuba. At first, he wanted
The Progressive movement was very influential in many ways to early twentieth century America. Businesses became safer, and much more respectful towards their employees. Society accepted moral changes, and became safer communities. The government was affected by the Progressive movement becoming much more democratic, and caring more for the needs of its people. The Progressive movement was successful in reforming American business, society and its government policies in many different instances.
Following the welfare reforms that were introduced by the New Labour Government in 1997, the coalition Government has developed, extended and continued welfare-to-work programmes (Deacon and Patrick, 2012). The Government’s ‘rehabilitation revolution’ saw policies designed to reduce reoffending, and as a consequence resettlement initiatives emerged with welfare-to-work programmes (Ministry of Justice, 2010). Since the implementation of the ‘Work Programme’ in 2011, welfare provision has seen a high influx of ex-offenders and Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangement (MAPPA) participants referred to programmes (Gov.UK, 2016). The main provider in Wales has delivered learning and development provision to approximately 24,000 ex-offenders (Working Links, 2013). The ultimate aim of the provider is to ensure participants secure sustainable employment. Accordingly, front-line staff have undergone specialist training to deal with ‘risk’ and mentor clients with complex and multiple needs. However, there is a dearth of research focusing on this contemporary phenomena. Considering the pivotal role employment schemes play in rehabilitating offenders, it is of paramount importance to determine whether or not the Governments confidence in employability schemes is justified.
Superficially, Hitler's economic policies were extremely successful. He appeared to have virtually eradicated unemployment, something no democratic Western power was able to achieve in the 1930s and within three years of gaining office. Yet beneath the "economic miracle", as Ian Kershaw points out, Hitler was pursuing economic policies in those early years which could only lead to war or a loss of power. The reality was that Hitler understood little about economics and seemed to care even less. His aims were to create full employment without inflation, to make Germany self-sufficient and to create Wehrwirtschaft, a defence economy, but in pursuing these policies he created
He exposed the injustice and corrupt system characterised by capitalistic economies where the motives and intentions are to maximise profits at the expense of workers. The result was an income gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have not’. The gap grew wider as the owners of the factories became richer and the workers grew poorer, even though the workers were directly involved in the production of goods and services. Even today, this inequality results in social instability and conflicts in our society because of the uneven distributions of resources.
