JOB CREATION
Made by : Sana Monga
BBA M2 WHAT IS JOB CREATION ? ◦ The process by which the number of jobs in an economy increases. Job creation often refers to government policies intended to reduce unemployment. Job creation programs may take a variety of forms. ◦ For example, a government may lower taxes and reduce regulation to make hiring less expensive . On the other hand, a government may hire workers itself, for example,to build a road . Factors of job creation? ◦ Economic Factors Affecting Employment National job growth, recessions and the ability to look for employment could affect worker turnover and retention. For example, if the economic climate is doing well and jobs are flourishing, it may be harder to retain employees if they have other, better job opportunities to assess. On the other hand, if the economic climate is poor and national unemployment rates are high, it may be easier to retain your employees since other job opportunities may be limited. Also, changes in consumer taste can affect demand for the product or service your company provides, which could lead to layoffs or mass hiring that could affect your company's employment rate. ◦ Technological Advances and Automation Advances in technology can affect employment rates. For example, certain industrial ventures previously requiring people to work on factory lines may now be able to use computer-operated machines instead of employees, depending on the industry. This may significantly decrease the amount of employees needed in a company's workforce. Certain technological advances in machine automation have also replaced the need for specific levels of employees in office atmospheres, impacting overall employment. ◦ Impact of Corporate Values The corporate values that your company adheres to could impact your employment rate. If potential employees, for example, hear negative stories in the press about the way your company treats employees, this could affect your recruitment process and what type of candidate you are able to hire. If your employees feel unappreciated or unmotivated to work for your company, this could also affect employment in that these employees may leave for other ventures, or your company's production levels could decrease and layoffs may need to take place. ◦ Seasonal Employment Fluctuations According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, seasonal fluctuations in certain industries can affect employment. For example, if you own an agriculture or construction company, certain seasons may call for an increase in employees as opposed to smaller necessary workforces during off-seasons. Also, the BLS states that June typically sees large fluctuations in employment rates since droves of students enter the labor force after graduation. WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR JOB CREATION? ◦ Of course government creates jobs, just look at the size of its budget! The military is a source of jobs, often a person’s first job. Every agency from Medicare, IRS and DHS to HHS and Dept of Agriculture, are government-created jobs. ◦ Whenever government tries to create jobs, such as during the Great Depression and they created and still create a slew of organizations - the WPA, the CCC and so on. The Tennessee Valley Authority electrified much of the South starting in 1933, and it’s still there. They end up with a huge bureaucracy and not as much work done as money spent. Government just has no profit motive, no incentive to be economical. If they need more funds, they simply raise taxes. Private businesses can’t “just raise prices” to cover up inefficiency. JOB CREATION STRATEGIES? • Promote digitally enabled services and solutions to all sectors of the economy. • Nurture global centers of expertise and ecosystems of highly skilled workers. • Enable SMEs to participate in global value chains. • Digitally empower the self-employed to participate in the so-called gig economy. • Stimulate domestic consumption by broadening the scope of the formal economy and promoting greater social and financial inclusion.
