Unemployment is a challenge faced in all economies where able and willing individuals cannot find work, resulting in wasted human resources and idle individuals. Unemployment is more pronounced in rural areas due to disguised and seasonal unemployment, while urban unemployment includes industrial and educated unemployment and data can be collected from employment exchanges. Unemployment occurs when people are able and willing to work but no jobs are available even at the existing wage rate.
The document discusses Lee Cheuk Yan, the leader of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU) and the new leader of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China. It notes that while Lee Cheuk Yan is visiting the US as a representative of the Alliance, he has prioritized meeting with the Solidarity Center as a representative of the HKCTU. It states that the HKCTU has been an important partner for the Solidarity Center, but that Lee Cheuk Yan has consistently opposed any engagement with the All China Federation of Trade Unions, despite a shift toward engagement by the international trade union community.
Minimum Wage in Hong Kong (Vincent and Yuki)ariesng
1. The document discusses the introduction of a minimum wage in Hong Kong to protect low-wage workers such as cleaners and security guards.
2. Early voluntary schemes were ineffective as many employers avoided the schemes by changing job titles.
3. The advantages of a minimum wage include protecting workers' salaries, maintaining basic living standards, and reducing inequality.
4. It recommends establishing an advisory commission to set an appropriate minimum wage level that balances workers' interests and economic impacts.
Unemployment is a serious problem in India that leads to wasted resources and negative economic and social consequences. There are two main types of unemployment - voluntary, where a person is able but unwilling to work, and involuntary, where a person is able and willing to work but no jobs are available. Unemployment rates in both rural and urban areas of India have declined in recent years but remain higher than international averages. The government has implemented several programs aimed at rural employment and self-employment to address unemployment.
This document discusses enforcing equal pay through pay transparency using Icelandic and other models. It outlines that equal pay has been a legal principle since the 1950s but pay gaps remain due to discrimination and other structural problems. Pay transparency is crucial for detecting discrimination as it allows comparisons between pay of female and male employees. The Icelandic model requires technical standards agreed upon by stakeholders to systematically achieve equal pay setting and allow employees to detect discrimination. While the Icelandic model shows promise, its transferability depends on preconditions like a national consensus.
The document proposes strengthening local communities through autonomous social organizations to respond to increasing poverty. It suggests organizing self-managed local factories and associations for marginalized groups like the homeless, seniors, and unemployed youth. These local networks would connect factories and communities could help prevent people from falling into poverty. The plan aims to give workers ownership and autonomy over local factories to reduce inequality and empower people economically. Organizing society in this networked way could create a more stable environment for all.

This document provides 7 questions for an exam on Law of Human Rights. The questions address a range of topics including: the impacts of globalization on rights to education, health and work in developing countries; arguments for developed countries to eradicate global poverty to facilitate socio-economic rights; key aspects of CEDAW and the need for laws protecting women's rights; how climate change affects human rights and suggestions to mitigate its impacts; how multi-national corporations can negatively impact human rights; the relationship between anti-corruption efforts and human rights; and components of the right to development.
Unemployment is a major problem in Pakistan's economy. The unemployment rate is calculated using the labor force, which excludes those under 16, homemakers, full-time students, the elderly, the military, the institutionalized, and the disabled. High population growth, low savings and investment, mismatches between labor demand and supply, declining opportunities in agriculture and manufacturing, and political instability are key causes of unemployment. The government is implementing policies to promote employment such as controlling population growth, establishing industries in backward areas, focusing on small businesses, job training programs, and expanding public works projects.
This document outlines a strategy to promote accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus. It notes that over 500,000 people with disabilities face barriers in everyday life and are not fully integrated into society due to a lack of accessibility. The target audience is identified as politicians and other decision makers who can influence laws and policies. The challenge is framed as an economic one, arguing that a lack of inclusion costs the country opportunities and potential workers. The proposed strategy is to advocate for investments in accessibility and people with disabilities by emphasizing the economic benefits, like how every $1 spent on inclusion in the US returns $25 to the federal budget. A combination of direct meetings, informational events, and lobbying are suggested to reach the target audience

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM IN BANGLADESH PRESENTATION Synthia Ahamed
Unemployment is a major problem in Bangladesh, with an estimated 30 million unemployed people and the rate increasing by 3.7% annually. There are several types of unemployment, including involuntary, voluntary, and transient. Causes of unemployment include population growth, lack of investment, limited land for farming, and deficiencies in the education system. To address this issue, the document recommends establishing more factories and businesses to create jobs, providing vocational training programs, and encouraging self-employment opportunities to reduce the unemployment rate in Bangladesh.
Unemployment can take several forms, including demand deficient, structural, real wage, frictional, and voluntary unemployment. There are many causes of unemployment, such as being between jobs, being laid off, or quitting a previous position. High youth unemployment in Tunisia is due to a surge in the youth population combined with a lack of jobs and mismatch between education and market needs. Unemployment can lead to increased poverty, crime, substance abuse, and even suicide. Solutions proposed include improving education quality and practical skills training, encouraging rural development and industries, and rapid industrialization.

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

15. Talking about jobs: Six Good Ideas 1. Promote local job matchmaking: Take a coordinated approach to local workforce development that brings together the key labour market stakeholders---to meet the real needs in our communities. 2. The right job for internationally trained professionals: Develop and build upon programs for both employers and internationally trained professionals that will allow Ontario’s economy to more fully benefit from their skills and experience. 3. Support workplace-based learning: Provide infrastructure support for workplace–based learning that meets the needs of employers and workers. 4. Give Ontarians a new and improved Employment Standards Act (ESA): Modernize and better enforce the ESA to ensure all workers can access the safety net that sets the minimum standards for Ontarians’ working lives. 5. Support Ontario workers’ right to choose a union: Amend and enforce the Labour Relations Act so that it meaningfully supports workers’ right to organize in the twenty-first century economy. 6. Ensure better protection for migrant workers: Extend minimum protections to all temporary workers 11
