Abstract
Education has always been regarded as an avenue to better paying jobs. The relationship between education and unemployment is a complicated one, however, with many socio-economic factors co-mingling. Education does have a bearing on employment but so does socialization, which steers poorer children into low-status jobs, a gender gap which sees highly educated women earning less than their male counterparts and a high rate of unemployment. Statistics are provided to prove certain points and the gender relationship important to this topic.

Final Research Report
From the Paper
"This is a very significant study, in that unemployment and associated poverty levels cause human suffering throughout the USA. The National Centre for Children in Poverty reports that nationwide, 17% of American children live in poverty. This represents some 12 million children who will not get a good start in life, in terms of important formative factors such as nutrition and access to resources. This is unacceptable in a country that is as advanced and affluent as the USA. Further, it is self-evident that poverty is frequently linked to unemployment. Thus, any efforts to reduce unemployment can be expected to ultimately lead to the reduction of the number of people living in poverty in the USA. It is proposed that this study is one such effort, as the key to reducing unemployment is to discover its causes, so that they can be effectively addressed."

Education Relative to Income and Unemployment, 2000.
Argues that a person with a higher education has a better chance at a high-income job and less chance of being unemployed.

Abstract
This paper argues that landing a high-income job is directly related to having a high educational background; and conversely, having little or no education is directly related to low income, and worst of all, unemployment. It shows how education after high school is not only becoming more popular, but also demanding. The paper provides many statistics and data to back up this claim. Includes graph.
From the Paper
"The importance of education has been emphasized since days of old. Education is usually regarded as the single most important determinant of a person's economic and social success. Education is linked to the happiness of an individual. The more education one pursues, the higher the income they will receive. In return, higher income brings forth private benefits. A person with a college degree, compared to a person with only a high school diploma, has a better chance of landing a white-collar job with a higher salary. Most people would rather have a "laid back" job that doesn't involve hard labor. Jobs like these are healthier on a person's body compared to blue collar work. With a high income, an individual usually gets better medical benefits and more social security to retire. Also, since education is linked to income, the personal commodities a person wishes to have for themselves is raised by higher education. Thus, education brings forth opportunity in the workplace. With a high educational background, a person has the opportunity to move up in position with a company, because he/she is properly trained."

Abstract
This paper examines how the population of Native American residents in the United States has been plagued by a myriad of problems since their existence. It discusses how the staggering statistics regarding unemployment in the Native American population directly influences four major social issues: crime, poverty, substance abuse and education. It looks at how numerous factors contribute to the lack of employment for residents on reservations, particularly the desire to preserve a strong cultural identity.
Outline
Introduction
Unemployment and Crime
Unemployment and Poverty
Unemployment and Substance Abuse
Unemployment and Education
Current Trends for Native Americans
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Poverty on Indian reservations is highly prevalent for a number of reasons, including geographic isolation and economic history (Ambler 9). As a result of a strong love and commitment to reservation land, the majority of Native Americans choose to remain in those surroundings despite their limited economic opportunities. Therefore, in some ways, many Native Americans are bound to a life of poverty and economic disparity. However, another significant contributing factor is the lack of governmental control over reservation activities. This lack of control has led to extremely limited opportunities for economic stability since business and industry other than agriculture is very limited or nonexistent on reservations, with the exception of reservation casinos. High unemployment rates are perhaps the most detrimental factor in poverty statistics, since jobless adults are unable to make ends meet and often fear that their living conditions will result in many permanent consequences."

From the Paper
"Unemployment is one of the major economic problems affecting a nation. The United States, one of the vibrant economies in the world currently suffers from a huge unemployment crisis with more than 8 million people in the civilian workforce without jobs. After a decade of continued and consistent growth (1990 to 2000), which saw a growing GDP and a booming economy, there started a period of recession. Unemployment rates reached a recent high of 6.1% in June 2003. The loss of productivity and the extended unemployment benefits have created additional strain on the already deficient federal budget, which in turn has resulted in higher burden for the tax paying citizens. Let us analyze the underlying causes for unemployment, the unemployment support and provisions offered by the government and the effects of unemployment on the individual as well as the national economy as a whole."

The Economic Value of Education, 2006.
This paper examines why a better education means a better job and a higher income, while those with little or no education find it harder to survive, resulting in poverty situations that continue for generations.

Abstract
This paper shows several sides of this issue by stating that many believe that by obtaining the right job, education shouldn't matter while discussing the economic values of acquiring a higher education and the many benefits reaped as a result, and conversely, how having little or no education is directly linked to low income jobs, unemployment and poverty.
From the Paper
"The status of educated families and non educated families in Indonesia is also an example of how education increases incomes and gives better employment. It also shows how more money will motivate parents to allow their children to have education. In both of these countries, it has been known that many that live in poverty don't really want change. They probably wouldn't mind a little extra money, but they think they can live without it. Also, some don't mind if their children has a college education or not. Some would rather their children not have an education, because they are afraid of their children looking down upon them.
Like the United States, those with little or no education find it hard to get a good job, therefore putting the family in poverty level. As we all know banks do not like to loan money to those who are in poverty."

Unemployment in Europe, 2006.
This paper explores the effects of the free market revolution which took place in the 1980s and the resulting mass of unemployment still plaguing Europe and the former Soviet Union in particular.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the rising unemployment in Europe. With approximately 35 million unemployed in the industrialized countries and uncounted millions more in the developing world, the issue of joblessness has finally reached the top of the global political agenda. This paper details the results of the free market revolution of the 1980s which consisted of collapsing industrial economies, deepening poverty, homelessness, crime and a rising tide of racism. The writer of this paper contends that unemployment and job creation are finally being given top priority in the global agenda. This paper discusses the various plans and strategies that are being implemented to combat unemployment, including the establishment of job-switching schemes. Job-switching, which has been piloted in Denmark, provides for long-term unemployed people to be trained and educated specifically in order to substitute for employed workers while they are on paid educational leave or vocational training. This well-researched paper contains unemployment statistics and relevant information of various countries in Europe, including Hungary. While unemployment has been in existence in Hungary for only a few years, it has become the main cause of increased social tension. This paper also details the situation in the former Soviet Union, in which the unrestrained free market economics has brought about an economic catastrophe.
From the Paper
"Why not combine the two problems in one solution? This is the basic and simple principle of job-switching: unemployed people take over the vacancies of the employed, while the employed are at the same time engaged in further education. AOF in Denmark had tried out this job-switching model for a couple of years and it has proven to be a success, and the activities are spreading all over Denmark in companies and in the public sector as well, and now all over Europe as well. The main target group for AOF is employed with short education and long-term unemployed. The job-switching model operates with education, training courses and work-experience for the unemployed, before he or she is actually going in to the company in the vacancy. The further education of the employed stresses general and also creative qualification, but also more traditional skills may be part of the further education."

Long-Term Unemployment in Russia, 2004.
This paper is a dissertation proposal to study the economic and political factors contributing to the time path of unemployment in Russia as compared to former Eastern Block countries.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Russian delay in achieving low unemployment can be directly attributed to reasons of education, specific human capital mismatch, low wages, tax schemes designed to punitively tax so-called excess profits, and other factors. The author points out that Russian unemployment figures have been difficult to come by in the past, due in part to the country?s definition of unemployment, and the way employment and unemployment are measured by the government. The paper states that the dissertation will examine time points in the data of major market indicators, such as employment levels, wages, and availability of various factors of production of each of the countries to illuminate the causal effects of economic and political practices affecting rates of unemployment in Russia and selected former satellite countries.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Current economic models attempt to explain the determinants that affect levels of employment. These include where the employment equilibrium sits, how short and long run economic factors affect the equilibrium, and what short and long run factors in Russia and the chosen former Soviet block countries are contributing to the overall unemployment levels of these countries. Aside from internal pressures, Russia?s response to external factors, such as WTO accession on Russian economy have profound effects on Russia?s overall economic health and of course on its rate of short and long-term unemployment."

Unemployment in the E.U., 2005.
This paper discusses the rate of unemployment in the European Union and the increased unemployment seen within member countries once they join the Union.
1,658 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses the impacts of joining the European Union, or the E.U. Member countries saw a drastic increase in unemployment rates as a result of their joining the E.U. This paper discusses some of the causes, where these events hit the hardest, and what could be done to prevent unemployment in the 21st Century.
From the Paper
"With the formation of the European Union, many of these regulations were either superceded or removed to foster additional competitive forces within the labor and economic markets. Workers were allowed to move from one employer to another faster with the elimination of employment contracts, and more eager employers. The existing hiring process had been a lengthy one due to this difficult firing process. ?Government-run job creation measures have made some impact on joblessness, but of greater significance is the growing flexibility of the labour market combined with a quickening of economic growth across the continent? (Lloyd, 22, 2000). Employers were now cutting this time because of an increased ability to release non-performing employees easier."

Unemployment Insurance, 2002.
This paper puts forth some suggestions for improved unemployment insurance programs.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Certain people have suggested that we cannot do anything about the existence of unemployment or even high unemployment, which is why unemployment insurance exists. However, even though globalization has had something to do with putting people out of work, greater blame can be laid on domestic policies such as a poorly designed unemployment insurance program. In response to this problem, the best policies are the ones that reduce the cost of hiring workers and remove impediments that restrict business from expanding. Also, rather than promoting the policy of unemployment insurance, the government should focus on the training and education of workers so that they can perform effectively in the global environment if such policies are to have maximum impact.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of global education. It describes the advantages of global education, such as improving issues of unemployment and homelessness. It then discusses some of the concerns expressed over global education, such as that it does not effectively impart issues of culture and individuality. The paper analyzes both sides of the debate and suggests some solutions to the issues.
From the Paper
"Creating a sense of importance with regard to global social responsibility and aspects of dire global need is essential to a new and improved education system, especially in dominant economic regions. Though the importance of cultural identity, and even the dreaded sources of nationalism, such as independent cultural identity and linguistic heritage must not be ignored in an attempt to universalize education. With some of the worlds most influential organizations in a serious bid to establish universal education the goals of the economists may be essentially answered, but educators must take care to make sure that universalization does not include an element of whitewashing that reduces the importance of individual cultural/linguistic heritage."

Unemployment, 2006.
This paper discusses the effects of unemployment on the individual and society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses unemployment and demonstrates the negative impact it has on American society. The paper explains that high unemployment rates frequently result in increased crime, poverty, poor health standards, substance abuse and a lesser quality of life. The paper also relates that there is a proven negative impact of unemployment on an individual's self-esteem and on family and social relationships. The paper stresses that while the U.S. unemployment rate is significantly lower than it has been in previous years, unemployment is still a major social issue and it is for this reason that unemployment is a central issue in economics.
From the Paper
"Unemployment is a major social risk all over the globe: losing a job or not being able to find a job is a frightening and threatening situation and the damage goes far beyond the loss of income (Mather, 1998). Unemployment has a proven negative impact on self-esteem and often negatively impacts family and social relationships. In general, being unemployed reduces a person's standard of living both directly and indirectly. Loss of income reduces ones earnings and impairs his or her ability to fully enjoy life and a sense of well-being. Therefore, even with unemployment assistance, individuals and families suffer from unemployment in many ways."

The Social Problem of Unemployment, 2007.
A look at the negative effects of unemployment.
2,710 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the issue of unemployment and the social problems that it creates, along with how social work may help those that are unemployed. It examines the negative effects of unemployment, which includes the financial difficulties, social exclusion and the loss of some freedoms as a result of this, as well as long-term damage to skills. The paper also addresses issues caused by long-term unemployment; potential psychological harm, loss of motivation, and an increasing crime rate. The paper analyses the differences in unemployment between Europe and America and discusses what can be learnt in their fight against inequality and unemployment. The role of the social worker and the help they can give to those that are unemployed is discussed.
From the Paper
"Some of the other problems caused by unemployment include psychological harm, ill health, lack of motivation, loss of family life, and racial and gender inequality. Psychological harm comes from the perception that someone who cannot find work must not be good for anything (Danser & Laub, 1981). It can destroy the lives of the unemployed turning them to alcoholism, suicide, and other problems. Racial and gender inequality is one of the biggest problems of unemployment. Ethnic tension increases when, for example, many whites have jobs while many blacks have been turned down for those same jobs. It adds to the intolerance of people of other races and genders, and can be very destructive to society."
