Demographic Patterns

The key trends of the 21st-century labor market include: shifting of demographic patterns, quicker pace of technological changes, further evolution of globalization with its newer implications for the future of work as such. Very soon employees wordlwide will work in more decentralized but at the same time also more specialized firms. Slower labour growth will encourage employers to recruit from social groups with previously relatively low labour participation. Greater emphasis will be placed on staff retraining and lifelong learning. Future productivity growth will support higher wages and may affect wage distribution overall. Considering all of the above, it seems to be vital to understand the issues which organizations/employees are facing today, so that to be aware of the issues the upcoming generations would have to face, to adjust to and be prepare to, considering the growing robustness of the world labour market

This chapter speaks to the ways in which reform cinema was wrapped up in the technological changes during Khatami’s presidency. In particular, video technology, which was banned in Iran between 1982 and 1993, gained widespread acceptance during Khatami’s presidency. Meanwhile, the proliferation of digital video at the beginning of the 21st century was changing what it meant to make and watch movies around the world. Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry (1997) and Ten (2002) and Bahman Farmanara’s The Smell of Camphor, the Scent of Jasmine (2001) speak to this changing technology, and they play with video in order to show how this technology was democratizing filmmaking in Iran. This chapter contextualizes Kiarostami’s and Farmanara’s films by suggesting a history of video technology in Iran, one which demonstrates that the changing cultural value of video developed in tandem with Khatami’s discourse of reform.

Questions regarding the water have a specific position in the context of environmental challenges. The possibility of escalating tensions between individuals, social groups, states or groups of states may even be higher for water-related issues than with other environmental problems. According to many pessimistic forecasts in the course of the 21st century water conflicts occur, which can have tragic consequences. Even though such conflicts have not yet reached a significant regional or global dimension, the risk of such a conflict cannot be ruled out. The aim of the research is to identify other potential risk areas where the water situation will most likely worsen, which may result in a threat of violence, conflict. At the same time, we were comparing the state of renewable water resources in individual countries of the world..

Social Dynamic

The booming voice industry in the Philippines is a case of an emergent global labor market. New technologies developed over the past several decades allow companies to spin off or relocate their phone services anywhere in the world. Differences in labor costs across regions of the world matter, but the resulting search for ideal labor is as much a social as an economic process. To capture this social dynamic, this chapter analyzes markets as assemblages. The key mediators in such as assemblage are firms, states, and workers. This chapter provides the theoretical tools to understand labor markets as assemblages, and suggests why some assemblages are more stable than others.

The author believes that the world labor market should be perceived as a taxonomic unit limited in its scope by the features of the national labor markets and, at the same time, having the incentives to expand as a result of the increasingly powerful factors of globalization. The key challenges to the global labor market are associated with the acceleration of the transnationalization of capital, with the changes in foreign trade, and with the increased international migration. All these global factors exert unambiguous impact on the jobs, the wages and the productivity in the national economies. Their impact on the economies of developed and developing countries varies considerably. Much will depend on the external economic strategy and the readiness of national labor markets to counter the external challenges.

In the context of the economic crisis caused by the spread of coronavirus infection, the global labour market has faced serious challenges, on the timeliness and effectiveness of the response to which the viability of the world economy today depends. The crisis is global in nature and has a significant impact on investment, global value chains and international trade, with serious consequences not only for the economy, but also for the working-age population in all countries of the world. The global economic turmoil caused by the coronavirus pandemic requires a thorough analysis of the scale of its consequences in order to determine the most rational solutions. A situation of uncertainty about the future, fear of devastating consequences, and pessimistic forecasts were the companions of the first days of the pandemic. This article provides the first estimates of the level of unemployment and employment in various countries of the world in 2020. The article is divided into two parts due to its large volume. The first part reveals the reasons for the differences in the dynamics of unemployment in different countries of the world, calculates the elasticity of employment by GDP, considers the consequences of the pandemic for the global labor market in the context of changes in workers' incomes, and identifies the segments of the labor market that are most susceptible to impact. The second part of the article examines in detail the state of the Russian labour market and the dynamics of the main indicators of socioeconomic development of Russia before and during the pandemic, provides forecast values of indicators, reveals the features of adaptation of the Russian labor market to new challenges and their differences from the mechanisms of self-regulation during previous economic shocks, while focusing on the changes occurring in the informal sector of the Russian economy

Global Labor Market

Firms and business units that control the technologies to handle phone calls actively constructed a global labor market for voice services. In theoretical terms, they can be considered a form of liquid “voice capital.” An analysis of consulting reports reveals how voice capital sees the world as graded according to cost and human capital. Such grading offers voice capital two potential pools of labor: India and the Philippines. The ethnographic literature on voice offshoring to India shows that there was no stable assemblage there. Men use call centers as steppingstones toward technology jobs, while women who work as call agents are stigmatized.

The Impact

The labour market has brought new mutations with the impact of globalization, the changes that have been taken internally in the face of the labour law, the recommendations and new conventions that have arisen within the International Labour Organization (ILO), and even with the environmental policies taken by states concerning the climatic phenomena that have been presented in recent times. The technological changes inherent in globalization, the expansion of the economy and the general market between states, and the subscription of free trade agreements have generated modernization in the face of the natural conception of the world of work, thus allowing the flexibility in the existing contractual modalities in labour law of Colombia.

The world crisis combusted has essentially changed a situation almost in all life spheres, and primarily on labor markets. However, weight of evidence suggests that many features of the world labor market which dawned in the second half of the 20th century – in the early 21st century will preserve their main outlines. The international labor statistics, and first of all, the International Labor Organization and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development statistic services help confirm or contest it. This article is devoted to analysis of the data submitted by the ILO and OECD.
