Abstract
This paper examines Canada's Employment Insurance (EI) program, which has been largely negative for Canada's economic growth but relied upon by workers. It explains how employers are often penalized for their participation and receive little in the way of financial incentive to generate new jobs or higher salaries. The paper also shows that the Canadian government should equalize the contribution limits of the EI by the employer and the employee, because then employers would receive some reprieve from the financial severity of supporting the majority of the EI programs and services. The writer concludes that the EI is counter-productive to robust economic performance as well as to long-term, stable economic growth.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Canada, as most other leading economies in the West, offers a comprehensive employment related insurance program that provides for work related payment benefits in the event of layoff, job loss or other employment related issue that results in a covered inability to work. Previously, this system in Canada was referred to as the Unemployment Insurance but since 1996 has been simply termed the Employment Insurance (EI) and is a government program overseen by the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada or the HSSDC (Employment, 2006b). EI is very important to the Canadian economy and social services system because Canada relies on a large population of seasonal workers due to the harsher climates in some of its Provinces as well as to some of its seasonal industries."

Abstract
This paper considers the responsibility of government in terms of unemployment, noting that job creation is one of the ways people judge the success or failure of a government. The paper suggests that as the economy is a government responsibility and employment figures indicate the health or lack of health of the economy, that the government has the responsibility of providing for the welfare of the people, which is tied to the health of the economy.
From the Paper
"The government of any country has a number of responsibilities, some set forth in a constitution or other written form, some only implied. The issue of unemployment is seen as a government responsibility, with job creation being one of the ways people judge the success or failure of a government. Certainly, the economy is a government responsibility, and employment figures indicate the health or lack of health of the economy. Government has the responsibility of providing for the welfare of the people, which is tied to the health of the economy. The way a government meets this responsibility can vary widely, depending on the state of the economy, the philosophy of government that prevails, the degree of need, and other matters. Government should provide unemployment benefits to those who are looking for work but cannot find it in order to keep the people housed and fed while the economy develops."

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of September 11 tragedy on the economic conditions of the United States. The author examines how the economy, which had showed a dismal performance for three consecutive quarters before September, completely collapsed when the disaster struck as consumer spending decreased with lower purchasing power, investment and borrowing declined, all industries reported lower profits and there was an alarming increase in unemployment. The paper also briefly discusses the condition of the airline industry after the tragic events of 9/11.
From the paper:
"The United States economy had already been predicted to go into recession when the tragedy of September 11 struck and accelerated the downward spiral of economic conditions of our country. . The economy crumpled as many industries in the country were hit harshly by the attacks and the slow down finally took shape of recession. After three quarters of poor GDP growth, it was almost certain that the economy was heading towards recession but September 11th attacks only accelerated the negative process. The government has been unable to generate enough Consumer-spending despite several announcements of tax cuts, which are aimed at giving people more purchasing power. Money supply and demand in the market is insufficient to tempt businessmen to increase production."

From the Paper
" The American economy has been in the forefront of this election year. It is one issue which directly affects every voter, and it is an issue on which every voter has an opinion. Each of the three major candidates outlined a plan for economic recovery, recognizing that the United States is in a recession. President Bush referred to Governor Clinton as likely to be a "tax and spend" president, emphasizing that Democrats traditionally take a strong fiscal approach to the economy. President Franklin Roosevelt and the many public spending projects that his administrations undertook typify this approach. Republican presidents, on the other hand, are known for favoring monetary policy and maintaining a strong "free market" stance. The tax cuts of the Reagan administrations during the 1980s typify this approach (Kynaston 32)."

Abstract
The following paper examines how the U.S. economy has been enjoying economic expansions and increasing new jobs by decreasing unemployment rate over the years. However, in the recent years, the business community still has doubts whether 2002 would provide the same picture or deteriorate even further. In order to assess the state of the U.S. economy in 2002, this paper examines the current trends in the U.S. economy, the gross domestic profit, consumer expenditure and the fluctuation of unemployment in the future.
From the Paper
"It is expected that the government's incentives to provide new production methods would enable the business sectors to increase their efficiency. Emphasizing on manufacturing process, introducing technologies to permit workers to analyze data as well as allowing adjustments in production line would be one positive aspect because it would lower the cost of production for industries. The government also plans to improve supply chain management, which has become the predominant factors that drive companies. With 55.6 in March, its best reading in two years, from 54.7 percent in February, 2002 of price index business oriented individuals would benefit from these aspects of change [Aversa, 2002]. "

Ethan Kapstein?s ?Worker in the World Economy?, 2005.
This paper is a critical review of Ethan Kapstein's article "Worker in the World Economy" in "Foreign Affairs Magazine", 1996, and includes ripostes against his treatise.

Abstract
This paper explains that Mr. Ethan Kapstein's treatise on the "Worker in the World Economy" offers many effulgent observations but fails to validate universal resolution of the global worker's plight. The author points out that Kapstein suggests that economic policies and programs supported by international policy coordination do not take into account the complexity of individual infrastructure, social priorities or, in many countries, the political dogma workers sustain in earning a living. The paper relates that, in a fully employed economy, the unemployment rate will not equal zero; in this case, unemployment is classified as either frictional or structural unemployment.

From the Paper
"Mr. Kapstein is rectified in his view that governments should assist in re-training and education for displaced workers, Even Mr. Lawrence agrees. Mr. Kapstein is short sighted in his verge upon "tight money and lose fiscal policies." Lose money or lower interest rates encourage growth, but we cannot forget about inflation. Federal and state governments offer such relief in the form of JPTA. This program has successfully re-trained thousands of displaced workers for entry into technical job markets. Third World economies are largely oblivious to job training/re-training, in some cases even unemployment relief. Compulsory elementary education together with a two-track secondary system of academic and vocational schools can produce a generally well-educated population in these economies."

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.

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."

The United States Economy, 2004.
An analysis of the global economy, in general, and the American economy, in particular.

Abstract
This paper examines the overall global economic conditions, in general, and explores the economic effects on the American people. The paper analyzes economic indicators like the gross domestic product, inflation as measured by the consumer price index, unemployment, capacity utilization, personal income, and the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank. The paper contends that, unfortunately, the short term forecast for the United States economy looks shaky.
From the Paper
"The United States and world economies have been sputtering a bit as the world has to contend with the likes of external economic issues such as inflation, the effects of past and potential future acts of terrorism, the ongoing oil crisis and the War in Iraq. Corporate America has been highly profitable but at the expense of relocation to new emerging markets abroad. The automobile industry and manufacturing as a whole has needed a lift as cheap labor and other economic necessities have cut jobs all over the United States. Consider what has occurred in the airline industry."

Contraction and Expansion in the U.S. Economy, 2005.
Examines the causes of contraction (2001-2003) and expansion (2003-2005) of the U.S. economy.

Abstract
This paper discusses capitalism and some of the causes of contraction and expansion in the U.S. economy. The paper shows that, even though the economy seems to be showing great numbers, it does not mean the economy is doing well. The overall economic health of the United States has been sending several mixed messages. The paper examines how the media shows that manufacturing orders are up and new home sales are also up. However, high unemployment figures, major problems with the airlines and growing trends of plant closings due to relocation and globalization send another message.
From the Paper
"Carl Marx's theory on performance within capitalist economies focuses on the rate of profit. In other words, as the rate of profit increases, capitalism as an entity remains prosperous. This entails that business investments would be high, unemployment would be low and the basic patterns and living standards of the society's workers would inherently rise. But, if that same rate of profit was to decline or to be generally low, prosperity would stop, investments would decline or worse, be nonexistent, unemployment would increase and the obvious result would be that living standards would decline."

Unemployment in the E.U., 2005.

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."

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."

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.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the reasons why the U.S. economy flourished successfully after the WWII compared to the pre-war periods. It examines how pre-war, the stock market crashed due to the overwhelming amounts of speculative trading and investment and how the market and America?s economy went down. It looks at how along with the country?s downfall economically were the severe food shortage, high rates of inflation and nationwide unemployment which gave the name the Great Depression to the time. In contrast, it discusses how post-war America flourished because of increased military spending which paved the way for large-scale manufacturing to develop and how the economy strengthened due to support from international financiers.
From the Paper
"There are several reasons why the Depression in America took place prior to the war, and not at the end of the war, as what might be logically predicted. Take not that in the 1920s, America had also participated in the First World War, and after WWI, a sudden influx of economic and financial resource helped the society recover from the effects of the war. Because of the ?booming? economy of the nations, spending increased, and speculation in the market had also increased due to abundant economic resources. As a result, when the stock market had crashed due to the overwhelming amounts of speculative trading and investment, the market and America?s economy went down."
