Economics of Employment talks about "WHAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD and CAN DO" as well as "WHAT CITIZENS SHOULD and CAN DO," to create employment. It also talks about HOW both the government and citizens 'should' and 'can' ACT and or REACT to create the desired change. It is part of the plan to create a sustainable economic development system for developing nations. TIME TO GET THINGS RIGHT IS NOW Employment problems are not predetermined outcomes of the workings of uncontrollable forces such as globalization, intensified competition, and technological change. They are the result of social choice: commissions or omissions in economic and social policies and short-comings in institutional arrangements. International Labor Organization reports shows that a common vision and inspired action based on a universal commitment to the goal of full-employment was responsible for the high levels of employment achieved by Western nations after the Second World War. The number of jobs and the level of employment in any society is a function of the extent to which the political-social-economic system is able to harness the available resources to meet human needs. The level of employment generated is not fixed according to any universal laws of economics. It depends on the implicit values and explicit policies on which the system is based. Changing those values and policies changes the availability of employment. Do yourself a favor if you are a leader, student or a teacher; read this book.
