Unemployment, unfortunately, has become one of the realities of our time.But once, when the Soviet Union still believed that we never touch it, because in a socialist society, this phenomenon can not be.It is there, in the decadent West in order to survive, the women engaged in prostitution, and the elderly, children, disabled people begging.Legally capable people there forced to stand for hours in the labor exchanges, hoping to find at least some income, and those who are desperate to go for a piece of bread to a crime.Most also lost hope drink too much, they are killed by drugs, victims of suicide.
With the departure of the past era of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the economies of former Soviet republics, with the impoverishment of the general population, unemployment is firmly lodged in the entire post-Soviet space, and take their positions is not going to.Contribute to this world and endless crises, the next wave of covering the country and abroad, and confusion in political and economic matters of domestic policy, and many other details.
any government from time to time necessary to eliminate the economic and social consequences of unemployment.They are very serious.Experts put them on one scale with the problems of poverty, social instability and other, threaten to undermine the foundations of the government.
The economic consequences of unemployment for Russians and citizens of other countries the harder, the lower their material security.Psychologists believe that in order to adapt to these conditions, people need appropriate help and support.It should be expressed in unemployment benefits, as well as special state programs and measures that would help people through difficult times.
Socio-economic consequences of unemployment are not alone in evaluating social damage or loss in the economy, although that is also important.Significantly reduces the amount of time spent on production processes.Rather, the intensity and pace of falling productivity.Plus - the direct costs of the budget in order to overcome these negative phenomena.
However, analyzing the social and economic consequences of unemployment, experts say, not only on the negative, but also positive moments of it.
I. Unemployment and its social consequences
1. Negative:
- aggravated criminogenic situation;
- society intensified social tensions;
- growing number of mentally and physically ill;
- growing social stratification of society, increasing the gap between rich and poor;
- labor activity at times less than the years of social and economic stability.
2. Positive:
- people start more than usual to keep his job, the social value of jobs increases significantly;
- with decreasing employment released more free time, which people often spend on the acquisition of new specialty, improving their intellectual level;
- appears legitimate opportunity to find a new job;
- social significance and value of the work itself is greatly increased.
II.Unemployment and its economic consequences
1. Negative:
- learning process, learning in the school curriculum and higher loses its former significance (why to study if there is no place to work anyway!);
- production cuts may take a very three-dimensional form;
- increase in costs for the victims of unemployment;
- experts lose their skills, knowledge remains unclaimed;
- standard of living has been steadily going downhill;
- the state treasury tax revenue significantly reduced;
- underperforms the national income.
2. Positive:
- not involved in the production process are the citizens of some sort of reserve labor force in the changing economy;
- competition between workers an incentive to develop their own talents, skills, growth of the level of skill;
- retraining;
- stimulate productivity, its intensity.
Thus, social and economic consequences of unemployment are the dialectical nature.Sure, unemployment itself is the result of the negative effects of domestic policy.It must be temporary.The higher the standard of living in the country, more stable economy, the fewer people become victims of fluctuations of the labor market.In economically developed countries, unemployment is much smaller than those that are experiencing internal upheavals.
course to overcome the social and economic consequences of unemployment, heads of state often take unpopular measures such as the introduction of limits on the entry of foreigners into the country, limiting their employment in favor of the local population, and many others.
