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."

From the Paper
"A third concern is the psychological harm that being out of work can cause. Not only do people run the risk of forgetting how to work well and deal with others, they can also become depressed and suicidal. It is not a coincidence that the suicide rates are higher among those who are not gainfully employed. The economic hardships that they face are part of the reason that these people become depressed, but the depression also comes from low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness if they have to rely on the state to pay their way for very long."

From the Paper
"But the real story lies in how these countries met the challenge head-on and succeeded in overcoming it. On that basis, Austria and Norway are considered the best performers for keeping their unemployment rates below 5 per cent until 1999. From 3.6 per cent in 1983-88, unemployment in Austria rose slightly to 3.7 per cent in 1989-94, 4.2 percent in 1995-97, 4.7 per cent in 1998 and 4.5 per cent in 199. In Norway, the figure was 2.7 per cent in 1983-88, 5.5 pre cent in 1989-94, 4.7 per cent in 1995-97, 3.3 per cent in 1998 and leveling off at 2.9 per cent in 1999."

Abstract
The paper discusses how unemployment is a collective social, political and economic problem that must be addressed through effective public policy. The paper relates that one practical means to alleviate the social and psychological problems of unemployment is to increase the access to social work. The paper shows how unemployment can create severe social, economic and political repercussions that social workers can help individuals and communities address.
From the Paper
"Unemployment creates serious psychological and social problems. The financial strain caused by being unemployed can create family troubles, feelings of shame, and stress from economic hardship. Poverty can become a long-term result of unemployment, as the longer a person is jobless the more likely they are to go into debt or lose their hard-earned skills. Unemployment also leads to a loss of personal freedom because the search for new work can be enormously time consuming. However, unemployment is also a collective social, political, and economic problem. When unemployment is widespread, whole communities, cities, or even regions face long-term economic depression and rising rates of crime."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In order for social workers to more effectively address the individual and community-level problems related to unemployment, two conditions must be met. First, lawmakers need to protect citizens through effective social services including access to career counseling. Minority communities should receive specialized social workers and social support systems. Second, American society needs to embrace ideas of collectivism. When communities work together to alleviate the problems related to unemployment, social workers can become more effective at intervening and offering their professional expertise."

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."

Abstract
This paper examines the economic situation in Moldova, focusing on the phenomenon of youth unemployment. It looks at the assistance being received by the World Bank and concludes that, with continued, but carefully managed and targeted support to address the specific problem of unemployment, emigration, and migration among the young, the future of Moldova is not as dismal as it seemed in the early 1990s.
From the Paper
"One of the most critical concerns of the current Work Bank is the high rate of youth unemployment in South Eastern Europe. This phenomenon of high youth unemployment, it is feared, will lead to a state of increasing instability across the region. More and more young people in this region are aimless in life, and grow up without being instituted in an appropriate ?work culture.? Either they will emigrate, depleting their nations of young employees, or become drains on the economy. These countries are also afflicted by low birth rates, which will continue to create a diminished labor force."

Unemployment, 2007.
An analysis of the role of social work in assisting the unemployed individual.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of job training in ending the cycle of poverty. It describes the long-term and short-term social problems that can be caused by unemployment. It then focuses on the role that social work can have in assisting those who are unemployed. It looks at the issues that social work can address and how these interventions can direct the unemployed person to gain additional skills.
From the Paper
"The need for more job training is partially reflected in the success of the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) which was designed to reduce long-term welfare dependency by increasing self-sufficiency through employment. Although, "at the national level, welfare participation has declined substantially, and the employment and earnings of poor single mothers--the group most likely to receive public welfare benefits--have increased while their poverty rates have fallen," this has not been true of rural workers (Whitener, Gibbs & Kusmin, 2003). Rural workers have lower education levels, less access to child care and public transportation, and above all less access to critical intervention by caring social work. A crucial element to ending the so-called vicious cycle or culture of poverty is addressing the psychological and social causes of poverty, to enable workers to provide the labor market with needed skills, as opposed to suggest that they merely need to take transient jobs where they are easily replaceable. Better jobs also mean jobs that provide more money for child care and transportation."

Unemployment, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that unemployment is a big problem not only because people go on welfare and other state assistance but also because it can cause depression and other serious health problems for individuals who cannot find a job. The author stresses that mental and physical health problems make finding employment even more difficult and sometimes result in permanent unemployment; however, the health system has been providing little assistance to the unemployed population. The paper relates that health providers or counselors need to be trained in the general practice management of the health problems of unemployment including risk factor assessment and management, support for the family and referrals to appropriate community resources, specialist medical services and government and non-government services and programs including employment and training services.

From the Paper
"As was already noted, unemployment also affects mental health. "Men aged 35-60 years who became unemployed had higher levels of depression and anxiety than those who remained employed... Furthermore, when unemployed people find a job, their mental health improves." There could be several reasons for this. First of all having a job means more people, which may result in meaningful friendships, and ultimately a support group. Everyone needs a support, someone to listen to them, even if they think they are the strongest mentally. Friends are very important to anyone's well-being. Next, it could be because being employed means you have something you can do and you are good at it. I believe when someone is good at something, it will increase their confidence."

Abstract
This paper examines how unemployment has long been the cause of ruin of the American society as well as the global social structure. It looks at how persistence in unemployment and the related tax reforms have done more harm than have benefited mankind. It analyzes some of these effects including the theoretical framework on functionalism and social conflict.
Outline
Defining Social Structure
Theoretical Framework on Functionalism, Social Conflict and Symbolic Interactionism
Effects of Unemployment on Social Structure
Effect of Unemployment at Federal Level
Effects of Tax Reform on Social Structure
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Social structure, the established organization of institutions through which humans interact and live in harmony together as a collective unit of individuals gets effected by various elements and social changes. One such factor is the rate of unemployment which seems to persistently rise in the past few decades thereby causing obvious changes in the functioning of the society as well as in the human behavior and the concept of social groups, classes and sub-divisions. Unemployment which is surely the bane of the American society as well as the global village seems to persistently rise despite all measures taken by the authorities involved at various levels of the social structure."
