Globalization and unemployment

I think that trade liberalization and globalization of the economy favored by rapid technological developments produce economic development opportunities for countries but also cause instability and employability difficulties for a significant part of the population: generally young,womens, low-skilled workers, collective of people over 45 years ...

The current thinking on the future of work stating that the survival of businesses in a global environment require greater competitiveness and needsmost qualified staff that in local or regional markets seems not fully confirmed because there another reality that suggests the fact that in some countries the occupational structure remains largely an offer of low-skilled jobs, mainly in the field of agriculture and services, where give as paradoxes"the youth more prepared in history country's recent and one of the highest unemployment rate of its history".

Moreover, labour market flexibility, at least in Europe, as an alternative to tax policies and public expenditure control, have not so far been clearly effective in job growth.

For now, we can not conclude that the actuality market and the institutions has sufficient capacity to create enough jobs to solve the unemployment problem.

Perhaps they need to adjust existing resources to opportunities that are appearing through modifying the current concept of work and a new organization of the same

We can argue this statement through a brief tour of the concept work that society had along history:

• Primitive societies: Neolithic to not start separation between work and live

• Greece and Rome: Opposition work (labor) pleasure (Otium). The task of ensuring the material needs should make slaves Only institutionalization of slave labor allowed free citizens engage in intellectual work

• From feudalism to medieval industry: it accentuates the division between mental and manual labor. Separation between field work and the city (artisans, scholars and traders)

• The modern age: Two different religious concepts a) the work as cargo, annoyance, disappointment and suffering b). Work as industriousness and duty

• Seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: the industrial revolution in the work happens to have an economic category. Is a delightful well those people who are equipped and can be bought and sold

• Industrial society: S XIX: social categories based on the work. Considered the essence of man; industrial work vs. spiritual work (political, artistic, philosophical systems ...)

• Employment and welfare state: consider work as a right and duty of all the citizens. The main indicator is the universal declaration of human rights (1984)

• Postindustrial society: developing countries in terms of the amount of the active population is engaged in each sector
