Imaginação de políticas alternativas para o desenvolvimento indiano antitóxico

ABSTRACT Worsening joblessness in India is put forward here from the multiple and inter-connected argumentative lens of formal-informal dichotomy by labour productivity differential, market size constraint, labour market flexibility, capital inflows, political constraint, corporate industrialization and welfare economic implications. In the process, the limitations of the classic developmental ideas of Kuznets, Lewis and Schumpeter are critiqued. Thereafter, an alternative policy framework is proposed to achieve economic development focused on employment, equity and environmental uplift. The paper shows how the massive unemployment problem can be managed in India’s democratic set up by departing from conventional wisdom about industrialization.

TAXONOMIC ANALYSIS OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN EU COUNTRIES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Unemployment is one of the most important problems affecting people in all countries. It affects the functioning of entire economies, industries, and enterprises; it also reduces the level and quality of people’s lives. The dynamic changes that are taking place in the labor market are forcing entrepreneurs to adopt a flexible approach to labor market resources – that is, employees – and also to choose appropriate forms of human capital management. This may lead to a reduction in unemployment in the market. Consequently, tackling unemployment is one of the important challenges facing the European Union, especially on its way to achieving sustainable development goals. High levels of unemployment could significantly hamper the achievement of the Agenda 2030 employment targets (SDG8), leading to poverty, social and economic inequality, and social instability. Therefore, the subject of this study is unemployment in EU countries; the main objective is to examine unemployment levels across EU member states. The deliberations and analysis are carried out in the context of the Agenda 2030 Goal 8 (SDG 8) for sustainable development. Taking into account the different degrees of implementation of SDG8 by individual Member States, and thus the different results in this respect, the study finds differences and similarities among the surveyed Member States in terms of types and levels of unemployment. The research is based on Eurostat data for 2022, and uses multidimensional comparative analysis methods such as cluster analysis and linear ordering. A review of selected sources on international and European law focuses on employment policy standards, including the problem of unemployment; this serves as a background for the analyses. The considerations are embedded in the concept of sustainable development, which influences the functioning of entire economies, but also in the processes of enterprise management. Based on the literature and the results of the analyses, it is concluded that levels of unemployment vary greatly in the analyzed countries. The best conditions for availability and accessibility of work are found in the Czech Republic and Malta; the worst are in Spain and Greece, where unemployment is very high.

ЗАНЯТОСТЬ И БЕЗРАБОТИЦА В СЕЛЬСКОМ ХОЗЯЙСТВЕ СЕВЕРО-КАВКАЗСКОГО ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОГО ОКРУГА

Solving the problem of unemployment is a priority for the regions of the North Caucasus, where there is a significant shortage of jobs, which leads to labor migration of the population to other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Finding solutions to increase the number of jobs is an important task that helps reduce unemployment in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. The work notes that the leading industry in the North Caucasus in terms of the number of jobs is agriculture, and currently there are significant reserves for growth in both the agricultural sector and processing industries, which are underdeveloped in the region. Agricultural products are mainly sold in unprocessed form, which leads to constant underutilization of existing processing capacities. One of the most obvious ways to develop the agro-industrial complex of the North Caucasus Federal District is to create favorable conditions for attracting large agricultural holdings to the region. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn about the need to develop the processing of our own agricultural raw materials - primarily fruits, berries, meat, and milk. This is especially true in the context of economic sanctions directed against the Russian economy, as a result of which there is a risk of limiting the international supply of a number of food products, accordingly, the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District are able to replace most of them. These measures will not only strengthen the country’s food security, but will also lead to the creation of new jobs in the region, which will have a positive impact on the social situation in the North Caucasus.

Social Edupreneurship Based On The Quran: Analysis Of Edupreneurship Criteria And Models

The unemployment rate in Indonesia is increasing, especially during the covid-19 pandemic. This unemployment problem has existed before and is difficult to solve because very few Indonesians have the courage to become independent entrepreneurs. Educational background, experience, abilities, business capital and community culture make the courage to become an entrepreneur very low. Islam encourages its followers to become afterlife-oriented entrepreneurs, so that life in this world and the afterlife becomes balanced, therefore social entrepreneurship education based on the Quran is needed. This article examines qualitatively descriptively how social entrepreneurship education based on the Quran can become a concept and idea for entrepreneurship education programs carried out by the government for the community. Social entrepreneurship based on the Quran guides muslims to become accomplished and tough entrepreneurs while still practicing the values ​​of the Quran such as justice, community empowerment and being oriented towards mutual prosperity, not just material gain.

Діяльність державних органів влади щодо подолання безробіття в УСРР у 1920-х рр.

The purpose of the article on the basis of archival sources and scientific heritage of domestic scientists analyzes the experience of practical activities of state authorities to solve the problem of mass unemployment of the population of the Ukrainian SSR in the 1920s. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of historical research: historicism, consistency, objectivity in the selection of facts and documents. Among the special methods used in the study should be called problem-chronological, historical-systemic, historical-typological. The scientific novelty of the article is to reveal the features of state policy and the activities of state authorities to overcome the unemployment of employees through the system of compulsory state social insurance. Conclusions. Having finally seized power in Ukraine, the Bolshevik leadership publicly declared the need to create an effective system of social support for especially vulnerable segments of the population. Of course, declarative slogans did not reflect real intentions and opportunities. Under the conditions of a debilitating civil war and economic devastation, it was quite natural to see a massive increase in the number of unemployed and a drop in the living standards of the population. This was especially exacerbated with the transition to a new economic policy. In the early 1920s a number of legislative initiatives were adopted to mitigate the unemployment situation. It was about the introduction of compulsory unemployment insurance at the state level. Insurance premiums paid by employers and employees were to become the financial basis for the payment of benefits to the unemployed. The implementation of this state policy on the ground relied on labor exchanges. However, excessive bureaucracy and a limited number of such institutions could not sufficiently solve this problem. The lack of funds for material support of the population was particularly acute, so the government was forced to look for alternative options: public works, in-kind assistance or the provision of various benefits. Active industrial construction, which began at the end of the 1920s, led to an increase in the demand for labor. In such conditions, the Party-Soviet leadership took a course to eliminate unemployment by administrative means, not recognizing as unemployed those workers who refused the job offered to them.

Do We Need Free Money? On the Debate about Universal Basic Income

In this article, the author proposes that instead of asking whether a universal basic income is a chance for Russia, we should think about another question: do we need it?
 The idea of a universal basic income (UBI), understood as an unconditional monthly cash payment provided to everyone and proclaimed as a response to the problem of poverty and technological unemployment in the era of digitalisation and robotisation, is the subject of discussion of the results of a collective study conducted under the leadership of a prominent specialist in the field of labour economics, level and quality of life of the population V. N. Bobkova. Having considered the main theoretical and methodological provisions of UBI, its advantages and disadvantages, having analysed country experiments on the introduction of UBI, interviewing experts and the population about the prospects for introducing UBI in Russia, having analysed the macroeconomic consequences based on an expert simulation dynamic model, the researchers answered affirmatively to the question posed “Universal basic income: a chance for Russia?” and believe that the transition to UBI in the country can be carried out gradually, through various transitional forms.
 First, the main arguments made in favour of introducing a UBI are false. The prediction that jobs will disappear in the future due to technological change is wildly exaggerated. There are doubts that UBI will be fair and can combat poverty and inequality. There is little reason to believe that a UBI is a better alternative to the current welfare system. Secondly, no one can accurately answer what the consequences of implementing UBI will be. Conclusions about its benefits are based on the results of country experiments and microsimulation modelling. However, these approaches suffer from a number of shortcomings and remain suggestive rather than evidence-based. This article raises the question of whether it would be better to wait for other countries to try UBI first to better understand its advantages and disadvantages. Thirdly, the author argues that the introduction of a UBI is not the only way to solve problems in the social security system and the labour market, and suggests alternative directions for socio-economic policy.

Study of Fiber Yielding Plants of Devchuli Municipality Ward no.13, Nawalparasi

Ethnobotany deals with the study of the use of plants by humans and the relation between humans and vegetations. The indigenous people around the world have established their own local knowledge on plant utility, management and conservation since time immemorial. It has attracted much attention in recent years. In Devchuli-13 (Daldale) area, local people depend on fiber yielding plants in their daily life because most of them do farming and rearing animals. These plants are mostly used while collecting fodder and dried tree branches from the near forest or pasture lands. The total of 52 fiber yielding plants species belonging to 45 genera and 24 families has been documented among them. Poaceae family with 17 species is largest. Large number of plant species found are herbs (about 39%) are herbs followed by trees, shrubs and climbers. Among these plant 21 species are mostly used by the local people. Most of these plants are used for making ropes baskets, mats followed by making brooms. The most common parts used are whole plant of herbs, stem/bark of trees (xylem, phloem, cortical fibers) while roots are very rarely used. Large number of highly valuable plants are reported which can improve the economic condition of people or creating the scope for small businesses. Documentation of ethnobotanical knowledge of traditional practices is gradually going to disappear from the elder to younger generations. So, proper documentation of fiber yielding plants with their economic value is very important. Addressing these set of skill is very important to eradicate the immerging problem of unemployment.

World unemployment problem and the unemployment rate forecasting with ARIMA model

In a rapidly changing global economic landscape, the level of unemployment remains one of the most important indicators of economic health, social stability and political dynamics. Due to the complexity and diversity of the unemployment problem, there are still some shortcomings and controversies in the existing research. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore and predict unemployment in depth. This study mainly explores the history, current situation and influencing factors of unemployment statistics in depth, so as to make corresponding predictions and analyses. The research methods include literature review and R for relevant statistics and prediction. According to the forecast results, the world unemployment problem is still relatively serious, and the unemployment rate of the world population will remain relatively high in the coming years. However, due to the existence of various force majeure factors, the future unemployment rate may still show a relatively large increase or decline. This study demonstrated the applicability of the ARIMA model in predicting the values of this variable. These models do a good job of capturing patterns and trends, and the predicted values are reliable. At the same time, this study breaks through the traditional thinking, explores the causes of unemployment from multiple angles and analyzes the future social situation, which also has certain implications for further exploring the unemployment problem.

Esensi Pendidikan Berkarakter di Tengah Maraknya Fenomena Sarjana Pengangguran

Entering the world of work in Indonesia is not an easy thing, because Indonesia is still facing a gap between undergraduate graduates and employment which causes the unemployment rate to increase. Apart from that, character education is important to improve a person's skills at work.

Character education is not just something that is needed for life in the world, but in religion, character education is also very necessary. By discussing the importance of character education, it is hoped that Indonesia's young generation will better understand the essence of character education itself.

Why Has Italy Struggled So Much to Grow Economically Since 1990?

Italy is one of the worlds major economies, but it is also one of the most struggling major economies in terms of economic development. Especially after 1990, the Italian economy has faced a state of stagnation for a long time, and there has been no sign of improvement until now. The theme of this article is the reason for Italys economic struggle after 1990. Low exports, low domestic demand, and a manufacturing slump are the reasons that led to the Italian economic struggle. Low exports stemmed from joining the Eurozone and the capture of international markets by other countries. Low domestic demand was hit by the double blow of Eurozone accession and high unemployment caused by a closed labour market. And the dormancy of the manufacturing sector is related to the unemployment problem caused by the closed labour market and the lack of domestic demand. Insufficient exports, low aggregate demand, and a weak manufacturing sector are the three main reasons for the economys poor performance, which has led Italy to remain a struggling economy for more than 30 years.
