"IMMIGRATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON FRENCH UNEMPLOYMENT
Introduction
In the late-twentieth century, more than at any time in the past, migration is a global phenomenon. In search of employment, higher wages, educational opportunities for themselves and their children, and escape from persecution and violence, millions of people cross international borders each year. Over one hundred million people now live in a country other than that of their birth, and millions of these immigrants maintain their ethnic identities in their adopted countries.
In industrialized societies on average, non-citizens now typically constitute more than five-percent of the population. These large and typically visible immigrant populations are a cause of concern for both governments and their citizens. These concerns.."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether immigration affects unemployment rates and what are the implications of the findings in this paper to the future of immigration and national growth and prosperity of the U.S.
From the Paper
"Dynamics of social movements within and outside of the United States have been influenced by events significant to the development of human society through the years. Of particular interest are the territorial and social movements of European nationals from Europe to the United States during the World Wars I and II. The effects of war and ongoing chaos and occurrence of tyranny in Europe resulted to the displacement of Europeans, and the United States, through a series of legislations, allowed access to the European nationals in their country during times of war and conflict."

Abstract
This paper applies the identity theory to the case of immigration in the United States. It asks if the United States should continue to allow Immigrants to enter the U.S. seeking refuge and citizenship, when the nations states are already overly populated? It questions whether immigrants should be allowed to enter the U.S. and work when there are hundreds of citizens and native-born Americans already unemployed and desperately searching for work. It uses these questions as example of the conflicting messages immigrants and their children face in modern day society, and explains how they add to the increasingly complex problem of finding identity in a torn nation.
From the Paper
"The United States is world known for its ethnic diversity, due in part to the immigration allowed over several years. Many people however, fail to find a means to foster inter-racial and ethnic identities, thus causing much conflict and a lack of a uniform sense of identity. The social issue relates to finding a common identity in a nation of multi-ethnicities. Children of immigrants are now coming of age, and from a social psychological stand will make the most lasting impression on society. The character of society will be shaped by their experiences."

Canada's Rising Tide of Immigration, 2008.
This paper explores Canada's generous immigration policy and its merits and drawbacks for the economy.

Abstract
The paper looks at the controversy over Canada's high immigration rates. The paper explains that while some argue that the immigration rate is too high and is thus straining social services, supporting an underground economy and increasing unemployment levels, others believe that immigrants are the engine of Canada's economic growth and are providing Canada with skills it cannot provide for itself. The writer's personal opinion is that Canada needs high immigration rates but should be more stringent about who is allowed entry and who is not.
From the Paper
"The matter of immigration (specifically, the matter of a generous immigration policy) has long been a contentious issue in Canada. On the one hand, there are those who argue that an immigration policy that embraces high levels of new immigrants each year is what the Canadian economy desperately needs - especially in light of the fact that the native-born birthrate is declining steadily and Canadian employers are finding themselves unable to fill critical positions because of a serious dearth of skilled employees. On the other hand, those who oppose a liberal immigration plan point out that many immigrants never do find work in their vocation of choice and are forced into ill-paying jobs that are incongruous with their skills - thus raising the possibility that the less-fortunate among them will turn to welfare.

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."

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.

»

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.

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.

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."

Illegal Immigration, 2005.
This paper discusses the problem of illegal immigrants, a person who enters a country illegally and works without the permission of the government.
1,140 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that for the United States, the main problem with illegal immigration is from Mexico because of the porous border between these countries. The author points out the problems with illegal immigrants are (1) that they work in the United States but they pay little or no taxes and yet receive the various benefits of citizens and legal immigrants, such as claiming unemployment compensation, resulting in an outflow of money but little or no inflow from income taxes for the U.S. government and (2) people associated or linked with terrorism seep into the United States through these porous boarders. The paper recommends that the resolution of the problem of illegal immigration requires (1) clarification of the law, (2) stricter enforcement necessitating sufficient funding for the border patrol force and (3) elimination of "birthright citizenship", which attracts illegal immigration because it offers any child born in the United States American citizen regardless of the citizenship or immigration status of his or her parents.
From the Paper
"Last year President Bush took some steps to solve this problem. In 2004, he planned to allow about eight million illegal immigrants to achieve a temporary work permit that would make their stay in the United States as legal. This was a bold step and many illegal immigrants actually want to become legal in the United States. So they would get their legal status while the country would receive its taxes from them. Moreover, this would bring a lot of illegal immigrant on record and would filter out any terrorists or people with other negative agendas. However, this would only solve the problem of the illegal immigrants who are already within the borders of the United States."

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."

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."

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."

Unemployment, 2002.
A look at the causes of unemployment and the effects of September 11 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses how unemployment is a troubling problem that affects every area of the economic sector. It looks at how in times of economic turmoil unemployment rates typically increase for workers from all industries, influenced by a number of economic indicators, including consumer confidence, inflation, government spending, and economic growth. It examines how unemployment results in a number of economic and emotional consequences for those affected. It distinguishes between two types of unemployment and its various causes as well as the influence of the events of September 11 and afterward that have resulted in higher rates of unemployment across the United States.
From the Paper
"After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. economy headed into a tailspin from which recovery has not been fully realized. Intense fear and trepidation by most Americans resulted in reduced spending and consumer confidence in U.S. markets. As a result, industries in many sectors felt the wave of uncertainty and began to lose profits. Furthermore, economic growth was halted as the U.S. coped with intense feelings of loss and fear. As government spending in the areas of homeland security and the military increased, capital expansions for education, healthcare, and economic stimulus packages were limited. Many U.S. residents felt the dramatic wave of economic uproar directly in their paychecks. Many residents argue that the Bush administration has not fulfilled their obligations to improve the economic outlook in the United States, and this is further complicated by continuous threats of terrorism and an imminent war with Iraq."
