Page 3 of 4 Proposals regarding new jobs
What are the different kinds of jobs that can be created? What are the proposals? Making work compulsory for unemployed to receive their benefits is a conception based on the idea that they chose not to work, which is not true. Jobs could be created to restore the environment damaged in industrial areas. The problem is that there is not enough money to finance these kinds of jobs. European grants, public money should be used for that. Services, care to people: hospitals are very expensive because of the important use of technology and its rapid evolution and because the specialists are very well paid. In order to avoid heavy costs for social security, health care at home was developed, services of nurses, families make it possible for people who before would have to go to hospital to remain at home with less costs. There is a creation of jobs and thus an economy for social security. History Life always depends on a balance of forces. At the time being, economy is the most dominant element. In the middle Ages it was religion, in the 19th century politics. But economy should be subjected to democracy and to politics. We live in a world where work is a central point. In ancient times, the free person would be one who could live without doing anything, only slaves had to work. In the beginning of the industrial era there was a need of a maximum workforce in order to carry out the activities but people were not convinced of going to work in the mines, factories, etc. Therefore a stream of thought tried to create a culture of work based on Adam Smith thought that richness comes from work: if you want to be rich you should work. Now work is a fundamental value and has become a natural instinct. At the end of the 19th century socialism was born and big thinkers said that the human being is built by work (I have become what I am through the work I have done). In society through my work I will have an impact. Most symbolic moment was the workers’ strike – this shows the power they have over the employers because those who depend on others are the employers. They depend on workers. |
Is in work, satisfaction really important, the strengthening of one’s identity, and the fact of getting integrated or is it all about money and power as the labour market gets harder and harder? It’s difficult to transmit values regarding work.| < Prev | Next > |
