Abstract
This paper examines the pattern of unemployment in India for the last 20 years. It uses various sources to examine some controversial issues relating to this subject. It shows, for example, that despite economic reforms, unemployment rates increased in the last two decades. By looking at various demographic, economic and social indicators, the paper explains the variation in unemployment rates. It uses data from NSSO surveys, Economic Survey 2005-06 and the Census data. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"Rural India, where most of the population resides, benefited enormously with high wage growth and declining unemployment rates. In the early nineties, the Indian economy ran into a balance of payments crisis and major economic reforms were instituted in the short span of two years 1991-1993. The reforms were primarily oriented towards industry and external trade. They led to an accelerated growth for a few years, particularly from 1994-95 to 1997-98 when GDP grew at 7%. However, besides these three years, growth acceleration was invisible and GDP growth for the eleven years following the reforms (1992-93 to 2002-03) was exactly the same as it was ten years prior (5.7% p.a.)."

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."

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."

A look at the negative effects of unemployment.

»

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."

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 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, 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."

Unemployment and Poverty, 2006.
Compares the different relationship that unemployment and poverty has in developed countries to the relationship they have in developing countries.

Abstract
This paper argues that linkages between unemployment rates and poverty rates in developing countries are quite a bit weaker than the linkages between unemployment and poverty found in developed nations. In other words, while economic recessions in the developed world usually see high unemployment rates operating in tandem with high poverty rates, developing nations may have low unemployment rates--usually a sign of economic growth and prosperity--but still have exceedingly high poverty rates despite the good news on the employment front.

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."

Unemployment and Crime Rates, 2004.
Looks at the effect that unemployment has had on the crime rates in New York City.

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of unemployment on the crime rates in New York City in the past few years. Initially, the paper focuses on data and statistics concerning the correlation between the increase in unemployment rates and subsequent increases in crime. The paper then attempts to demonstrate that an increase in the unemployment rate leads to an increase in the crime rate in New York City. The paper also discusses three theories that can explain this positive correlation between unemployment rate and crime rate.
From the Paper
"In the graph (New York Crime Rates 1976-2000) that follows we see that the Crime rates for the same ten year period have actually decreased every year. This is the case in spite of fluctuations in the unemployment rate. There are several reasons why these anomalies exist. The first factor involves an increase in law enforcement personnel and the city?s more aggressive stance on crime. In addition, these statistics ignore many important factors such as race because unemployment rates among minorities are higher. In addition, it does not explain crime rates in neighborhoods where the unemployment rates are higher. Without these factors it is difficult to see the whole picture and what is really happening in these underemployed neighborhoods."

Unemployment, 2002.
A study of the history, causes and effects of unemployment in the U.S.

Abstract
This paper looks at how unemployment has changed over time in terms of causes, makeup, degree of severity and possible solutions. It also discusses how over the last decade unemployment has both been reduced and has also changed its makeup in terms of the kinds of industries experiencing unemployment and the proposals for solving the problem. It examines how the degree of unemployment is affected by domestic policies and international relationships and events alike. It looks at the effect of the North American Fair Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with neighboring Mexico and Canada and how jobs are being created in Mexico instead of the U.S. due to lower salaries.
From the Paper
"International competition has increased with the economic growth and, in some markets, domination of the Japanese and the Germans. In addition, there have been various efforts to improve the trading position of other regions of the world, notably the development of the European Community as a Europe-without-borders and as a trading bloc with respect to the rest of the world. Such changes remain uncertain at this time--will they work as intended or will they only create more problems for individual countries within the Community? Having recognized the need for a different trading stance, the United States has embarked on another uncertain experiment with the North American Fair Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with neighboring Mexico and Canada. This is in addition to provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which Mexico signed in 1986 ("U.S.-Mexico Free Trade Agreement" 34)."
