Creation Rate

This paper introduces a new model describing the aggregate growth of job markets. We divide the job market in each city into two groups: native job market of size and an immigrant job market of size . A reversible migration of jobs exists in both groups. In addition, the interaction between these two groups creates both native and immigrant jobs. A loss of native jobs also takes place due to the interaction. Through studying initial conditions, job-creation rate, and job-loss rate we discover some meaningful results. The size change of native job market is closely related to that of the migration rate, native job-creation rate, and native job-loss rate. We assume that these rates are proportional to the sizes of two groups and find out that for certain initial conditions, immigrants influence native job markets positively. They create more jobs for both job markets. In addition, we can make conclusions about the future trend of the flow of jobs. People will move to places like big cities where there is a higher concentration of job opportunities.

Crisis Narratives

This study explores the ways in which young people orient to and manage their agency in (un)employment-related discourse in “crisis ridden” Greece. It focuses on data elicited by semistructured interviews with 40 people, aged between 18 and 29 years. Interviews were analyzed by the principles of critical discursive social psychology. Analysis indicated that, in the context of accounting for job loss, participants mobilized the rhetoric of “crisis,” managing to negotiate complaints, without directly identifying a blame-worthy party. In the context of discussing effective job seeking, however, interviewees were concerned to depict themselves as active agents. Paradoxically, success in job seeking was depicted as the result of accepting unfavorable job opportunities. Finally, when participants unfolded their plans to emigrate, unemployment was related to structural flaws of the Greek labor market and “crisis” narratives were contested. Different constructions of agency are seen to reflect the contingencies of both local (interactional) and broader (historical) contexts.

Transparency And Accountability

This type of research is normative legal research, namely research that puts law as a system of norms, namely about principles, norms, laws and regulations, court decisions, agreements and doctrines. Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that omnibus law is a legal concept that focuses on simplifying the number of regulations because it revises and revokes many laws at once. Therefore, before the omnibus law concept is actually applied in forming regulations, the principles of participation, transparency, and accountability need to be put forward first. Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation, which was designed with the aim of transforming the economy towards advanced Indonesia by 2045, in its Draft and Academic Papers encountered many problems. Especially in the Employment cluster, these problems are related to the reduced rights of workers/laborers. Although it’s undeniable that Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation has several positive sides such as providing job loss guarantees for workers/laborers after Termination of Employment, but in reality the positive side of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation is not commensurate with the number of problems that exist.

AbstractIn the past few years the American Physical Society (APS) has conducted a number of surveys among the graduate student population in the US and also among young researchers. The purpose was to get an idea of the career expectations of the students and how these are met later on in their life. Two of the conclusions were: (1) students want to work in a research environment, preferably academic, and (2) graduate and undergraduate programs are not preparing them well for the different challenges and goals found in industry, the private sector and national laboratories. Jobs in academia, especially tenured positions, have been difficult to obtain forcing many students to give up on their goals after one or two postdoctoral positions. Some have found jobs in other sectors but others feel frustrated that their careers have not met their expectations and are poorly ‘prepared’ for other options. In the areas of Physics and Astronomy there is not much of a job market without graduate studies. So most students must continue graduate work, in these or other fields, in order to compete well in the job market. Graduate and undergraduate programs must become more responsible for the present state of affairs and for implementing improvements. This can be done by broadening the scope of the present programs so that a student is better prepared to face the challenges of other job opportunities. We present here a BSc program designed by astronomers and physicists, at the University of Guanajuato, to try to address some of these concerns and better prepare the students for either continuing with graduate studies or finding employment in an ever-changing job market.

The Future

The perception of future country’s labor is important to be studied. The way they perceive the market in general and their future employers in particular cannot be wished away. The world has become very dynamic and so the employers. The needs of the market changes with the influence of so many factors among them the dynamism of technology. Students join courses they perceive important for them in one way or the other. One major factor why the youth pursue courses is to benefit out of it through gainful employment. Employers on the other hand are complaining about universities churning out half-baked graduates that can hardly cope with the stringent needs of the market. That the graduates are not productive and what they have being trained on is not relevant to the needs of specific jobs. This has led to many employers organizing short trainings for their new recruits. In light of the above, the study sought to understand the perception of business students towards the future job market. It found out that close to two-thirds of business students have high expectations in terms of salaries and other benefits. This makes business courses being pursued by many students. Very few of the students have less expectations. More than half of the respondents are for the opinion that they will get a job during their first six months of graduation. High grades, good communication skills and having confidence are the major preferences of employers according to the research. The major causes of unemployment among the youth are lack of creation of job opportunities which has led to tribalism and nepotism in employment. This has locked out many qualified job seekers. Majority of business students prefer searching for a job rather than creating job opportunities themselves. A lot has to be done in order to streamline the courses offered by universities in order to cater for the needs of the market. There should be creation of awareness among the youth so that they prepare themselves for these needs. With these, both the students and their future employers will benefit and hence greater productivity.

Insight Into

The COVID-19 outbreak is an exact reminder that pandemic like other rarely occurring disasters have happened in the past and will continue to happen in the future. Around the globe, countries are in lockdown, and citizens are asked to maintain social distancing and stay at home. This is not first instances that Kerala is fighting against a deadly virus like Coronavirus. Earlier in 2018, Nipah virus had been identified in Kerala and they had mortality rate of 40 to 80 per cent. From previous experience, among all the states in India, Kerala was well and the best prepared to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and has managed to flatten the curve. But COVID-19 hit Kerala very hard, because the major source of revenue comes from tourism and Non-Resident Keralites (NRK’s) remittance drastically fell down. This paper provides vital insight into the effect on COVID-19 on Kerala’s job market. The aim of this study is to find out how Kerala’s job markets are being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since Malayalees are working in different countries across the world, survey method is used to collect data. The study helps us to understand the demographic characteristics of workforce in Kerala. It clearly discusses effect of COVID-19 on different sectors where of Malayalees work across the world. The study also helps to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on employability of graduates and non-graduates. Finally, this study identifies the rate of job loss due to COVID-19 lockdown during the month of June 2020.

The Great Recession

This paper compares predictions for the long-term reductions in the employment-to-population (EPOP) ratio based on estimates of the overall job-loss rate and the long-term effects of job loss with the actual evolution of the EPOP ratio. It took about ten years after the end of the Great Recession for the EPOP ratio to recover from substantial reductions partly implied by job-loss effects. Based on job loss during the COVID-19 crisis through July, the prediction is that 15-37 percent of the reduction of the EPOP ratio in December 2020 is permanent.

AbstractThe explosion probability before time t of a branching diffusion satisfies a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. This equation, along with the natural boundary and initial conditions, has only the trivial solution, i.e. explosion in finite time does not occur, provided the creation rate does not grow faster than the square power at ∞.
