This document contains 7 figures summarizing surveys of workers' perceptions around aging and the workplace. The figures show that: most workers expect a higher proportion of older colleagues by 2020; older workers are often seen as less adaptable or prone to stress but economic contributions of both young and old are viewed as significant; and discrimination is perceived as a larger issue for older versus younger workers. The last figure indicates support for workplace policies and programs to help employees work beyond standard retirement ages.

The publishing industry in the UK is dominated by London and the South East, with over 11,000 small businesses, most having fewer than 10 employees. While the number of publishing companies is increasing, the workforce is shrinking and aging. There are also decreasing levels of diversity. Employers struggle to fill vacancies in areas like sales, marketing, and technical skills. Students studying publishing are also not meeting the industry's needs for skills in areas such as sales, marketing, and software proficiency. Overall the publishing industry faces challenges around an aging workforce, skills gaps, and attracting new talent.

This document summarizes trends in the Scottish labor market from 2007-2015. It finds that while employment has increased, workers are more likely to be in insecure forms of work like part-time, temporary, or self-employed positions. Median wages have also collapsed over this period. The document outlines diverging approaches between the UK coalition government, which promotes labor market flexibility, and the Scottish government, which advocates for social partnership, fair work policies like living wages, and empowering workers. It acknowledges barriers to reforming Scotland's labor market due to entrenched asymmetries of power and a lack of social partnership traditions.
This document provides statistics about Edinburgh, Scotland in a 2014 publication titled "Edinburgh by Numbers". It includes data on demographics, quality of life, the environment, the economy, tourism, and other topics. Some key points:
- Edinburgh's population grew to 482,640 in 2012, with a density of 1,828 residents per square km.
- Quality of life is high, with Edinburgh residents rating their wellbeing 7.6 out of 10 in 2012-13, and 96% satisfied with their neighborhood as a place to live.
- Crime rates have fallen, with recorded crime per 10,000 residents down to 1,149 in 2013. Over 90% of residents feel safe in their
This document discusses the impact of population aging on the labor market and implications for structural change. Key points include: smaller birth cohorts will lead to relatively fewer working-age individuals; longer lifespans mean more older individuals who are healthier; addressing the future labor shortfall will require strategies like increased immigration, higher fertility rates, higher productivity, and longer working lives. Data shows employment rates increasing for older age groups from 2000-2009, especially for those aged 55-64, with Nordic countries having the highest rates for older workers. Structural changes may require older workers to bear costs of labor market adjustment, and policies aim to support job search and reemployment for older individuals.
The key objectives of UK macroeconomic policy are price stability, economic growth, low unemployment, and higher living standards. Additional objectives include balancing the budget, improving well-being, regional balance, and access to services. Recent UK economic data shows GDP growth of 2.6% in 2014, inflation at 0.1%, unemployment at 5.4%, and a budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP. The UK runs trade deficits and has a floating exchange rate system.

2) EPS is forecast to increase from NT$2.06 in 2013 to NT$2.23 in 2014. Revenue is projected to grow by 6.5% annually from NT$34.7 billion in 2013 to NT$37.9 billion in 2014.
3) EBITDA margins are expected to remain stable around 10% for both 2013 and 2014.
Pay is very important to employees and their job decisions. Around half of UK employees report being satisfied with their pay. However, satisfaction with pay rises has remained relatively stable despite real earnings falling. Employees have subdued short-term expectations for pay increases in the coming year. Compared to other European countries, UK employees report relatively high satisfaction with pay levels, possibly because they feel relatively well paid for their work.

What will London’s economy and labour market look like in 2007-2014? (Paul Bi...lvscsteve
This document discusses trends in London's economy and labor market from 2014-2020. It finds that while gaps in employment rates between advantaged and disadvantaged groups have closed in recent years, challenges remain. Maintaining positive trends will require improving childcare and part-time work availability, education quality, skills training aligned with growing industries, labor mobility, making work pay through welfare reform, and managing impacts of policy changes on vulnerable groups. The economy is shifting toward higher-skilled, service-oriented jobs requiring ongoing support for disadvantaged Londoners.
Slovenia 2017 OECD Economic Survey Boosting investment through better skills ...OECD, Economics Department
The OECD Economic Survey of Slovenia 2017 document makes the following key points in 3 sentences:
The Slovenian economy is rebounding from a long recession, but further investment is needed to boost productivity through improving skills development and reducing regulatory burdens. Unemployment is declining but long-term joblessness remains high, and the country faces fiscal challenges from an aging population that threaten debt sustainability if not addressed. The survey makes recommendations in areas like education, the labor market, state-owned enterprises, and regulation to support higher growth and living standards in Slovenia.
Living Longer- Working Longer: Older workers in Ireland- Paul McGill CARDIRoger O'Sullivan
This document discusses trends in Ireland's aging population based on a presentation by Paul McGill of CARDI. Some key points:
- Ireland's older population aged 65+ is growing rapidly and is projected to increase substantially by 2041. Life expectancy at age 65 is also rising.
- Employment rates among older age groups have declined due to the recession, especially in the Republic of Ireland. However, work provides health benefits for older adults when jobs are secure and not stressful.
- Healthy life expectancy has been increasing, but disability and illness still influence many older workers' decisions to retire earlier than state pension ages. Overall, the presentation examines the myths and realities around older workers in Ireland.
1. Recruitment consultancies in Scotland reported only a marginal rise in permanent placements in October, the slowest increase in over two-and-a-half years. Growth in temporary staff billings was moderate and eased further.
2. Demand for permanent staff continued to strengthen in October though the rate of growth slowed, while demand for temporary staff rose at the fastest pace in 2015.
3. The strongest growth in permanent vacancies was in IT & Computing, while Blue Collar vacancies decreased; demand for temporary staff rose most in Nursing/Medical/Care.

The document summarizes the labor market situation of older workers in the Netherlands and recommendations from an OECD review. It finds that while the Netherlands has implemented policies to encourage working at an older age, challenges remain. Specifically, it recommends: 1) improving work incentives by promoting longer pension contributions and more flexibility in pension withdrawals; 2) tackling employer barriers by focusing wages more on performance than tenure and promoting standards from innovative firms; and 3) improving older worker employability by better linking training to jobs and increasing cooperation to support re-entry to work. The OECD review aims to assess policy impacts on older workers and identify remaining areas for action.

Describing and explaining shifts in labour relations using a micro-macro appr...DH Benelux
This document discusses using a micro-macro approach to analyze shifts in labor relations over time and space. The researchers analyzed digitized US census data from 1850-2012 to derive labor relations from occupations and other variables. They found shifts from self-employment to wage labor over time in certain occupations and regions. Examining data at the household and individual levels also provided insights into life cycle changes in labor relations. The researchers believe digital methods can help validate patterns of labor relations shifts and better explain changes over time and space.
This document provides a brief history of ferry services in Scotland and discusses the current tendering process for the 2016-2024 Caledonian MacBrayne ferry services contract. It notes that Calmac was established in 1973 and that the Scottish government has argued since 2000 that ferry services must be tendered to comply with EU regulations, despite opposition from Calmac and politicians. The current tender process began in July 2015 and will award a new contract in May 2016. The document outlines priorities for the STUC in opposing tendering requirements and promoting public ownership of ferry services. It questions whether tendering is actually necessary under EU law and argues the Scottish government's approach lacks understanding of commercial and EU legal issues regarding essential ferry services.
The document summarizes criticisms of the economic arguments in favor of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreement between the EU and US. It argues that the projected economic gains from TTIP are very small, potential distributional impacts and costs to disadvantaged groups are being ignored, and the agreement would further concentrate economic power and extend monopolies for certain industries like big pharmaceutical companies. The document concludes that the case for TTIP is not clear cut and more analysis is needed of its potential impacts, especially at the Scottish level.

Rachel McEwen's (Scottish and Southern Energy) presentation to STUC's Decent Work, Dignified Lives conference of 15 October 2014 in which she explains SSE's approach to implementing the living wage.
This document discusses inequality in Scotland. It begins by outlining changing views of inequality, from the neo-liberal view that inequality naturally occurs and benefits economic growth, to more recent evidence that excessive inequality can stifle growth and mobility. The document then analyzes drivers of inequality like globalization and policy changes. It provides data on rising earnings inequality in Scotland since the 1980s and compares Scotland's levels of inequality internationally. The document concludes that while fiscal policy can help reduce inequality, achieving more equal levels like Nordic countries would require changes to pre-tax market incomes as well.
This document discusses re-industrializing Scotland's manufacturing sector. It provides data showing that while Scotland's manufacturing output as a percentage of GDP was once high, it has declined significantly. It also shows that Scotland's output per capita and overall manufacturing output rank below other major manufacturing nations. The document suggests several factors that have contributed to the UK's relatively poor manufacturing performance, such as a lack of long-term political support and a complacent attitude toward ownership. It argues that high labor costs are not the primary issue, as Scotland's hourly wages are comparable or lower than other EU nations. The document concludes by stating that a vibrant manufacturing base is important for creating a strong middle class and a more equitable society.
Presentation delivered by Prof Mike danson to the STUC's Decent Work, Dignified Lives Conference on 15 October. Presentation considers history of regional development institutions, imperatives for change and distinct nature of Scottish institutions.
Presentation delivered to the STUC's DEcent Work, Dignified Lives conference on 15 Oct 2014 by Karel Williams and Sukhdev Johal of Manchester University's Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC). Presentation discusses failures of both the current development model and some alternatives debated during the independence referendum and the proposes a new model for Scotland.
This document discusses the drivers of inequality and presents both orthodox and emerging views. The orthodox view is that rising inequality is inevitable due to technological change and globalization, but this view is inadequate. The emerging view is that inequality results from growing economic power asymmetries, weakened labor protections, tax changes benefiting the wealthy, the outsized influence of the financial sector, privatization, and macroeconomic policies favoring stability over full employment. The document argues that policy interventions can help reduce inequality by strengthening collective bargaining, reforming banks, raising taxes on the wealthy, focusing economic development on stable jobs, and adopting macroeconomic policies promoting both stability and full employment.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
