The occurrence of Brexit in the UK economy is already having an effect on the Job market. This is mainly due to uncertainty caused by the UK’s volatile political situation and no full direction by the Brexit campaigners on how the UK’s economy can move forward. The UK job market had not fully recovered from the effects of the recession and added with this uncertainty from leaving the EU, employers aren’t willing to employ workers on a permanent basis as they do not know the long term cost. Therefore, the unemployment rate in the UK is rising but not as drastic in comparison to the financial crisis of 2009. In this essay, I am going to analyse the current labour market in the UK looking at indicators such as; wages, regions, gender and so on with the focus on the Banking and Finance Sector. I will also comment on the specific job role of an Actuarial consultant as this work role involves providing well-informed advice and understanding of mathematics and statistics to make long-term financial forecasts which ironically would be very useful for the UK’s current economic climate. Actuaries help in the decision making processes of private firms and governments as they give clear indicators on what and how financial decisions should be made from the calculations they make and then explain the information calculated in a way that is easily understood. A knowledge of the current situation of this job sector is of high importance as firstly, it’s a field of work that I am
“The very turmoil of the streets has something repulsive, something against which human nature rebels” [Friedrich Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England, 36]. In the above quotation, German philosopher, Friedrich Engels, shows his readers how poor the living conditions were in industrial towns such as London and Manchester. His goal was to showcase how the effects of the Industrial Revolution had made the working class worse off in comparison to their previous condition in agrarian society. In his nonfiction work, he highlights several of the same and also differing points concerning the working class as Elizabeth Gaskell does in her novel, Mary Barton. The main difference between their two analyses is how each author approaches the working class poor, Engels with a more critical eye and Gaskell with a lens of emotion that builds empathy for the characters.

It is certainly true that the current law defining the employment status of ‘workers’ is uncertain, as it is wholly inflexible to deal effectively with cases of non-standard forms of employment, atypical workers, for example: agency workers, part-time workers, fixed-term workers, as required workers and homeworkers. Thus, reform is necessary to redress the concerns of lack of legal certainty in relation to this area of the law.

During the first Industrial Revolution, many social standards of the community were starting to change. Since there were new spinning and weaving machines available, the textile mill factories were built to increase their profit. The people who established these mills hired children and women to decrease their labor cost by paying them low wages and having poor working conditions for them as well. The Labor force impacted American culture through various means such as the child labor conditions, women in the factories, and the immigrants working in the factories.
The “Great Recession” is commonly used to explain the massive economic contraction that occurred in the United States during the fourth quarter of 2007. However, the actions of the United States spanned to other nations, leaving massive effect on the global economy. One nation that took on serious financial burden during this recession was the United Kingdom. This nation first faced the effects of the Great Recession beginning in the first quarter of 2008.

In fact, after partially stabilizing in 2009, the country struggled with a double-dip recession between 2010-12, and continues to struggle with some of these effects.

Look of workforce in Australia is changing. It is no longer the same as it was 20 years ago. Where young men were the main workers and old people and women were sitting at work with their kids (Nankervis et al. 2006, p.54). Nowadays number of old people has increased dramatically, which is affecting workforce and brings new challenges to human resource. New implications that human resources have to deal with are appropriate age allocation, keeping old employees working for as long as possible and avoiding clashing of different generations. Also combine experience from old employees with knowledge of new technologies from younger ones. All these can be done by correct human resources strategies, which will benefit organizations and

Both the Keynesian and Neoliberal era came into existence as an aftermath of both an economic crisis and a war. Keynesianism came after the Second World War when the then neoclassical economy was in crisis. This crisis brought forth Keynesianism with the underlying disbelief in the self-regulating nature of capitalism. The Keynesian ideology believed in increased state intervention to produce economic stability. This policy rested on four policy prescription; full employment; a social safety net; increased labor rights; and investment policies were to be left to private enterprises. Keynesianism’s subsequent inability to deal with the unexpected inflation caused by two international oil crises and during the period of the
