The article discusses issues related to the role of the education system in the economic development of the state. Intellectual production resources take priority. The main factor in the economy becomes a person with fundamental educational and professional knowledge. The principles of continuity of education, integration of general educational and vocational training become the leading ones. The system of training a qualified worker in the United States is being looked at carefully. In conditions of growing competitiveness in the global labor market the current problem is to provide secondary education for students and to train them for entering colleges and universities. Education is financed by public and private funds. Increasing the availability of education for various categories of citizens allows developed countries to dominate the world economy. There have been made the attempts to identify factors that both contribute to and hinder the development of the educational process. The hypothesis of a possible increase in the relationship between educational training and vocational training has been put forward. It has been stated that in all states of the US schools expand forms of specialized vocational training. In the educational program the focus is on disciplines that help school graduates to quickly adapt to the requirements of the labor market. Education in the United States is regarded as the main driver of employee success in the labor market and the stability of his or her employment.

Development State

The Philippine state is a key mediator in the global labor market for voice. Colonization by Spain and the United States generated what the scholar Walden Bello calls an “anti-development state.” Catholic ideology limits women’s’ reproductive choices, while a migrant labor policy sends the country’s best and brightest abroad to work and remit money back home. For ordinary Filipinos who finish college, the result is a bifurcated choice: leave the country to find prosperity or stay at home and live in poverty. The megacity of Manila is where so many Filipinos find themselves negotiating this difficult fork in the road.

Public Sector Unionism

The institutional structure of the American labor market changed remarkably from the 1950s and 1960s to the 1980s. What explains the decline in union representation of private wage and salary workers? Why have unions expanded in the public sector while contracting in the private sector? Is the economy-wide fall in density a phenomenon common to developed capitalist economies, or is it unique to the United States? To what extent should economists alter their views about what unions do to the economy in light of the fact that they increasingly do it in the public sector? To answer these questions I examine a wide variety of evidence on the union status of public and private workers. I contrast trends in unionization in the United States with trends in other developed countries, particularly Canada, and use these contrasts and the divergence between unions in the public and private sectors of the United States to evaluate proposed explanations.

Автор освещает возникшие при пандемии проблемы дистанционного формата образования, в том числе с точки зрения социализации, а также базовые причины инертности методологии системы общего образования России. Для сравнения приведен пример опыта функционирования систем образования стран Запада и США. Изменить подход к управлению педагогическим коллективом и педагогическим процессом могут помочь принципы методологии Agile. Данная методология актуализируется при дистанционном формате обучения, так как требует самостоятельной работы обучающихся и как следствие вовлекает их в образовательный процесс. The article highlights the problematic issues of the distance education that arose during the pandemic, including those of socialization, as well as the main reasons for the inertia of the methodology in the general education system in Russia. To comparison, an example of the Western countries and the United States educational systems way of functioning is given. To change the management of the teaching staff and the pedagogical process itself, the author proposes the principles of Agile methodology. Agile methodology becomes relevant in the distance learning due to the requirements for students independent work and, therefore, their involvement in the educational process.

The Impact

In the 1990s, various countries had a different approach to the problems related to prisoners’ labor. In the United States, the concept of prison labor could survive only in such developed states as New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts which could cope with the burden of keeping unproductive prisons. Under the impact of the penal reform and upon the adoption of new penal legislation in these states, the old American tradition of labor prisons gave way to a new standard which implied that convicted offenders had to learn different crafts while in prison but they were excluded from the public labor market when at large. The new industrial program, which was thus engendered, has significantly contributed to spreading the reformist functions of prison labor. Organized prison labor had always been strongly supported by penal reformers in the north of the United States but, in the mid-1980s, as the penal reformers moved away from that part of the United States, the concept of organized prison labor no longer had a significant political and legislative impact. The influence of penal reformers and the idea of instituting convict labor (but without competition in the labor market) had a strong influence on government politicians both at the federal and state government levels. The reformers endeavored to ensure the prisoners’ welfare and enable all prisoners to work and participate in the labor market as competitive workforce, both by leasing their labor and through the sale of final products on the free market.

Subject. In the twentieth century, the most developed countries formed a permanent military economy represented by military-industrial complexes, which began to perform almost a system-forming role in national economies, acting as the basis for ensuring national security, and being an independent military and political force. The United States is pursuing a pronounced militaristic policy, has almost begun to unleash a new "cold war" against Russia and to unwind the arms race, on the one hand, trying to exhaust the enemy's economy, on the other hand, to reindustrialize its own economy, relying on the military-industrial complex. Objectives. We examine the evolution, main features and operational distinctions of the military-industrial complex of the United States and that of the Russian Federation, revealing sources of their military-technological and military-economic advancement in comparison with other countries. Methods. The study uses military-economic analysis, scientific and methodological apparatus of modern institutionalism. Results. Regulating the national economy and constant monitoring of budget financing contribute to the rise of military production, especially in the context of austerity and crisis phenomena, which, in particular, justifies the irrelevance of institutionalists' conclusions about increasing transaction costs and intensifying centralization in the industrial production management with respect to to the military-industrial complex. Conclusions. Proving to be much more efficient, the domestic military-industrial complex, without having such access to finance as the U.S. military monopolies, should certainly evolve and progress, strengthening the coordination, manageability, planning, maximum cost reduction, increasing labor productivity, and implementing an internal quality system with the active involvement of the State and its resources.

Work Scheduling

This chapter explores the relationship between hours of work and unemployment. When it comes to time spent working in the United States at present, two problems immediately come to light. First, an asymmetrical distribution of working time persists, with some people overworked and others underemployed. Second, hours are increasingly unstable; precarious on-call work scheduling and gig economy–style employment relationships are the canaries in the coal mine of a labor market that produces fewer and fewer stable jobs. It is possible that some kind of shorter hours movement, especially one that places an emphasis on young workers, has the potential to address these problems. Some policies and processes are already in place to transition into a shorter hours economy right now even if those possibilities are mediated by an anti-worker political administration.
