Global Workforce
There is a lack of regulation to protect the ability of American workers to secure well-paying, decent jobs, which form the backbone of the middle class. There are a great number of threats to the stability of the American middle class as more and more businesses make decisions that are to the benefit of their profitability than to the welfare of their workers. Opportunity, health and wealth are most certainly spread equitably on a global level, nor can they be while countries that have been the dominant social and economic forces since WWII set the global agenda for to benefit their own middle class workers to the exclusion of the subsistence workers of underdeveloped nations. The policies are set through international policies including trade agreements, United Nations policy briefings, and regional agreements. Countries with little bargaining power are unable to influence the international policies which are set to regulate the distribution of labor and opportunity and are perpetually excluded from the best interest of vulnerable workforces being given consideration.
The global labor trend of braindrain, in which trained and educated workers from less affluent nations leave their nation of origin to make more money for the same work in more affluent nations. The result is that there are smaller trained workforces within less affluent nations available to provide medical care and support to vulnerable, less-wealthy populations. Less-wealthy nations over time develop historical relationships...
This is a serious economic, cultural, and political issue that affects the composition and compensations of workers in skilled industries and the nature of competition to fill positions with highly trained, underpaid staff.
One way in which to rectify the large disparities in global workforce opportunity, distribution, and management would be to create policies which regulate braindrain in a way that does not inhibit workers from underdeveloped nations from moving to other nations to seek greater economic opportunity. Economic development of underdeveloped nations is key to slowly eradicating the wage gulf between richer and poorer nations so that it becomes unfavorable for industrialized nations to outsource their labor to less affluent countries. At the same time, governments of industrialized countries must look as comprehensive policies, including tax breaks for not outsourcing and tax penalties for outsourcing, to incentivize keeping jobs from American companies in America.
All policies much be examined carefully to look at the impact upon the slim opportunity extant in underdeveloped nations. The IMF and World Bank could look at ways in which to subsidize the creation of industrial and economic development in less affluent nations and help enforce policies that would keep the control and ownership of these…
4). 2.4 Effects of Environment: Concerns related to carbon emission were heightened in mid-2000s and in 2007 Al-Gore in his book 'An inconvenient Truth' condemned the big three saying "They keep trying to sell large, inefficient gas-guzzlers even though fewer and fewer people are buying them."

85). Newly independent countries joined in the shipping industry as a way of demonstrating their economic independence, leading to an increase in the number of open registers as owners in the traditional maritime countries could now register in countries with less demanding tax laws and lower costs for workers.

In the case of Europe this would necessarily take the form of energy sources that are not based on the use of petroleum. In many member states, such plans are already well underway. France obtains much of its electricity from nuclear power, while there are extensive wind farms in places such as the Netherlands. The European Union is determined to use its influence both to set an example to
Successful Expatriation When considering the ever-changing and highly competitive global landscape of business today, firms must stay at the cutting edge of their respective fields in order to sustain profitability in the long-term. With the current exponential growth of technology and the computerization of business and learning, consumers have become much more connected to the businesses they patronize (Kurzweil, 2001). Accordingly, companies are faced with the continuous task of finding new
Scheduled annual ASMs went up from 300 billion in 1978 to more than 700 billion by 2000. (Tam; Hansman, 2003) Of late, the close association between economic growth and the demand for air traffic travel also led to unprecedented traffic loads and profits for the airline industry during the economic growth cycle during the later part of 1990s. The rise in the airline industry following deregulation and the average decline
