Abstract
There are a number of authors that have concluded that there is not much that can be done about high unemployment. In an inter-linked world that is increasingly governed by high technology and service oriented economies, many have come to accept that Canada's natural rate of unemployment is simply higher than other countries; the US in particular. This, however, is untrue. There is something that can be done about high unemployment. This paper will provide proof to support this assertion. It will show that there are several so-called 'home grown' factors that have sparked Canada's unemployment spiral. One way or another, all of them can be controlled. But, change does not come without its costs.

Abstract
This paper investigates the identification of the underlying reasons for the continuing high levels of unemployment among African-American teenagers with a specific focus on African-American teenagers in the Syracuse MSA. The objective of the proposed research study is to develop reliable information that provides a basis for the development of initiatives that will lead to higher employment levels (and, conversely, lower levels of unemployment) among African American teenagers. The paper also suggests possible solutions to the problem of continuing high levels of unemployment.
From the Paper
"Sustained economic growth in the United States over the past five years has caused the national unemployment rate to fall below five-percent in 1999. The 3.8 percent unemployment rate in November 1999 (the latest month for which such data have been reported) is a full percentage point lower that the rate in January 1999 and 47.9 percent lower than the 7.3 percent unemployment rate in January 1994. This level of unemployment is the lowest that has been sustained for any period of time in the United States for decades. Because of the low overall rate of unemployment in the United States, many people (both politicians and the general public) appear to think that unemployment has become a non-issue in contemporary life. The fact is, however, that unemployment remains a critical issue in this country when the overall rate of unemployment is disaggregated to reveal the rates of unemployment among specific population groups such as minority males generally (but especially African males), and teenagers generally (but especially African American teenagers). For such population groups, the improvement in the overall unemployment situation has transformed their plight from one of utter disaster to one of debilitating frustration, as their rates of unemployment remain in excess of 12 percent. For African American teenagers, the unemployment rate reached 31.3 percent in March 1999 before dropping to 28.4 percent in November 1999."

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
The paper discusses China's market-orientated enterprise reform which has resulted in many employees being laid off. The paper cites several reasons for this growth in unemployment and notes the strain being put on the social security system. It also explains a new employment scheme being initiated by the Shanghai Government to combat the issue.
From the Paper
"Swift economic development was gone together with rising living standards for the majority of people. In 1992, in the Fourteenth Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, it was determined that China's objective of reform was to construct a "socialist market economy." At the Third Plenum of the Fourteenth Party Congress, it was come to a decision that the existing scheme of state and collective owned enterprises was to be substituted by the "modern enterprise system" based on “clarified property right, clearly defined responsibility and authority, separation of enterprises from the government, and scientific management." (He, 1998) The Fifteenth Party Congress in 1997 took a advanced step, deciding that whereas collective owned enterprises and small state owned enterprises were to be privatized, large and medium-sized state owned enterprises were to be reorganized as share holding corporations (He, 1998). In 1980s there was virtually full employment in the urban sector. However, since 1993, urban unemployment has been mounting speedily. By 1997, about 18.5 million workers had been laid off from state owned enterprises and urban collective enterprises, augmenting the real city unemployment rate to as high as about 10 percent (He, 1998)."

Education and Unemployment, 2002.
Examines the link between education and unemployment.

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.

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.

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.

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)."

Unemployment and Inflation, 2008.
A discussion of the definitions of unemployment and inflation.
970 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 7 sources, APA, AU$ 50.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at unemployment and inflation. It begins by listing the various types of unemployment and differentiating between voluntary and involuntary unemployment. It also examines terms such as cyclical, frictional, structural, hidden, and classical unemployment. The paper then defines inflation and tries to determine whether there is a correlation between inflation rates and unemployment rates. It uses graphs and equations in attempt to determine this. The paper concludes by supporting the argument of macroeconomists that there is indeed a correlation between unemployment and inflation.
From the Paper
"Apparently, inflation and unemployment have nothing in common. However, they are tightly connected when we take into consideration the economy of a country. Their connection is not, as one may expect, a direct proportional one, but on the contrary. When the unemployment rate is high, the inflation decreases.
The best way to understand the correlation between the rate of unemployment and the rate of the inflation is by looking into the Phillips Curve. However, there are several economists that consider this perspective as outdated. We will tackle both sides."

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."
