Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insurance Against Unemployment The question of the proper methods to be adopted for the alleviation of the distress caused by unemployment presses for solution. Among such methods one of very great interest is that, under which provision is made against the loss consequent upon the temporary suspension of their earning power suffered by work people during periods of unemployment by a system of insurance. Under this system the arrangement made is, that, by means of premiums, contributed by the insurers, while they are in work, there is accumulated a Fund, out of which, in case of their becoming out of work, they have the right to receive allowances on a fixed scale.

Degree in Economics at Columbia University, New York, and was approved by the faculty. The author feels under a deep and abiding sense of obligation to that University not only for its m.a. Degree and its award of the Richard Watson Gilder Fellowship, one of its most cherished prizes, but also for the advantages it afforded him of studying under some of the leaders of economic thought in America, and for the opportunities it gave him of coming into contact with prominent men and women in the Labour world, with the directors of large plants, and with leading social workers. He is grateful especially to Professor Henry R. Seager, under whom the thesis was prepared and who advised the author, revised his mss., and made the path of the stranger easy and pleasant, and to Professor Edwin R. Seligman, the Chairman of the Economics Faculty of the University. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unemployment Insurance in Theory and Practice The widespread unemployment produced by the industrial depression of 1921, the extent of unemployment in the United States during normal years, the increasing experimentation abroad with forms of social insurance against unemployment, and the bills providing for public unemployment insurance which have been introduced into the legislatures of several states, all have combined to make the question of unemployment insurance of growing importance in this country. That A unemployment is a national problem of the first order and that a broad, constructive program for dealing with it is a national need, requires no emphasis today. The conflicting social and economic points of view as to what this program should be, the varied interpretations of European experience with unemployment insurance and the prevailing vagueness of information on the situation in the United States as regards the application of public insurance to the unemployment problem, make Man impartial analysis of the question highly desirable. The purpose of the present report is to discuss the problem of the relation of public unemployment insurance to conditions in the United States, through an analysis of the theory of such insurance, an examination of European experience with its, various forms and a survey of the need and basis for public a unemployment insurance in the United States. Legislative. projects for such insurance in this country are studied from the point of view of economic and social theory and in the light of American economic and social conditions so as to provide a basis for unbiased judgment regarding the applicability of any form of social insurance to the unemployment problem in the United States. Realizing the burden which unemployment puts upon modern industrial society, the Board in this report wishes to emphasize the necessity for a thorough study of the character of the problem and the possibilities of meeting it in ways adapted to economic and industrial conditions in the United State, without prejudice to the principle of public insurance in so fr as its need and practicability may be demonstrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insurance Versus Poverty The plan of the work is as follows: It is divided into two distinct books, and each of these books is again divided into three sections. The first book deals with Health Insurance. Its first part consists of argumentative and possibly challengeable matter, written by one who is an ardent advocate of compulsory State Insurance against social and industrial vicissitudes. It puts the case for compulsion, shows the necessity for extension of the principle beyond the borders of the National Insurance Act of 1911, and takes Opportunity to refer to foreign experience. Part II. Is a descriptive and critical account of the National Health Insurance Law of 1911, which is complete in itself. Part III. Is the Health Section, or first part, of the National Insurance Act, 1911, printed verbatim, with explanatory notes designed to assist the reading and understanding of what is necessarily a complicated Act of Parliament. Book II. Deals in similar fashion with Unemployment Insurance. In Part I. An attempt is made to sketch the problem of unemployment in its broad outlines in order to exhibit the nature of the problem, and the necessity for the regular payment of labour, to which end the author regards Unemployment Insurance as a first step. Part II. Is an exposition of the Unemployment Section of the Act of 1911. Part III. Is the Unemployment Section, or second part of the Act, printed verbatim, with explanatory notes as in the case of the Health Insurance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unemployment The time is past when the problem of unemployment could be disposed of either by ignoring it, as was the practice until recent years in America, or by attributing it to mere laziness and inefficiency. We are beginning to recognize that unemployment is not so much due to individual causes and to the shiftlessness of won't-works, as social and inherent in our present method Of industrial organization. During the winter of 1914-1915 the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, at the request of the committee on unem ployment appointed by the mayor of New York, estimated after a careful canvass of its industrial policy-holders that persons were unemployed in New York City. In the first two weeks of February a careful canvass was made by agents Of the federal Bureau Of Labor Statistics, on the basis of which it was estimated that were still unemployed at that time. The dis puted estimate of unemployed in that city alone, made during the previous winter by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, seems, therefore, not to have been exaggerated. At the same time relief agencies in many other cities were swamped. Municipal lodging houses were turning away many genuine seekers after work - to sleep on bare boards at the docks, in warehouses, even in morgues. The United States Census for 1900 showed that working people, or nearly 25 per cent of all engaged in gainful occupations, had been unemployed some time during the year. Of these lost from one to three months' work each; lost from: four to six months each; lost from seven to twelve months each. Similar data were collected by the government in 1910, but they are still unpublished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Unemployment Insurance in Agriculture During the latter part of the nineteenth century the long de pression in agriculture led to changes in the methods of farming, which with the extensive introduction of machinery brought about a great decrease in the number of men employed on farms. But with this decrease came greater stability, for the fewer the men employed the more they are essential to the conduct of the farm, and there seems no doubt that in most districts the large majority of farm workers are in constant employment year after year.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of Unemployment and the Unemployed The list here presented to the student, of nearly eight hundred books, reports, pamphlets and articles relating to the problem of Unemploy ment, is, of course, very far, alike in form and in content, from being a proper bibliography of the subject. It is, in fact, no more than a summary guide to the principal publications of the United Kingdom, and to some of those of France, Germany, Italy and the United States, for the most part within the last quarter of a century. The items referred to are not all to be found in any one library, not even in the magnificent collection of the British Museum, the courteous assistance of which institution is gratefully acknowledged. The greater number are in the British Library of Political Science, in connection with the London School of Economics and Political Science, where they are accessible not only to students of that institution, but also to any serious inquirer. The present list, pre pared in the first instance for some members of the Royal Commission on the Poor Laws and on the Relief of Distress from Unemploy ment (1 905 and revised for the use of the Research Department of the National Committee to Promote the Break Up of the Poor Law, is now placed at the disposal of a wider circle.

Which began in l929 3o, international attention began to be focused on schemes for relief and prevention of agricultural unemployment. At the first session of the International Labor Conference in 1919 and at its 1921 meeting, recommendations were adopted requesting the Government to set up effective systems of unemployment insurance which were to include agri culture within their scope. Indeed, in 1919, two countries Italy and Germany actually adopted unemployment benefit schemes for victims of in voluntary unemployment, mnich included agricultural workers. Changes in 1923 excluded most of the farm laborers from the scepe of each of these plans, but they are significant as early efforts to meet the problem of un employment relief ih agriculture through systems of unemployment insurance.'

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Governor Smith's Reconstruction Commission on a Permanent Unemployment Program: June 17, 1919 Herewith the Reconstruction Commission begs to call to your attention the desirability of framing, as a part of the States reconstruction program, a permanent program for dealing with the problem of unemployment in the State. It is unnecessary for your Commission to point out that unemployment is a chronic feature in the industrial life of the State. This was clearly pointed out by the Wainwright Commission., which was appointed to inquire into the question of employers liability and other matters, one of which was unemployment. In the report submitted by it to the Legislature of the State that Commission declared: "We find in the industrial centers of this State, at all times of the year, in good times as well as in bad, wage-earners who cannot secure employment." - Report to the Legislature of the State of New York - Employment and lack of farm, labor. - Page 2. Hitherto the problem of unemployment, despite the insistence of all investigators of the subject upon its continuous and normal character, has been prone to be regarded by our government as an occasional emergency requiring, if anything, only emergency measures. But the time has come for the State to consider what it may do in a permanent way to ameliorate if not to prevent this permanent, chronic ill of the industrial system. The chronic unemployment which exists in the State, independent of business conditions, is attributable in the main to two factors (1) the physical impossibility, in the present industrial organization, of connecting worker and job without loss of time in the interim, and (2) the seasonal fluctuations in the demand for labor in the several industries. In addition to these continuous and normal causes of unemployment, we find the variations in the demand for labor in one or another industry due to the incessant.
