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 Similar data were collected by the government in 1910, but they are still unpublished.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.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

The question oi a national public employment bureau is still much to the front in current considerations of the subject of Un employment. In the Federal Employment Service, established on a large scale during the late war and since reduced but still exist ing, we already have its limited realization. The debater will wish to consider whether the greatly curtailed appropriations of Congress since the close of the war are a desirable policy, or whether the service should be given full opportunity of growth and the realization of its objects. The brief has been altered somewhat to meet this new view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unemployed: A National Question Little practical progress has been made in recent years in our country in solving the problem of the Unemployed. When the sufferings of the poor become acute committees are formed, money is subscribed and distributed, and relief work is provided. But as soon as the crisis is past the distress and danger are forgotten, and nothing is done to- probe the sources of the disease and to provide a permanent and effective remedy. Yet the problem is one upon the solution of which the permanence of our existing social order depends. If the number of the unemployed and unemployable should increase beyond a certain limit, if hunger, cold and nakedness should overwhelm our temporary expedients for their relief, society might be in imminent danger, and might deplore too late its blindness and self-complacency. The distinction between the unemployed and the unemployable, which is very real from an economic point of view, is unstable and transient in the individual.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unemployed As far as I am aware no attempt has yet been made in any country to deal comprehensively with the question of the unemployed. It is, perhaps, the most urgent, certainly the most difficult of our social. problems. No apology, therefore, is needed for the present book. It is, however, possible that some explanation may be thought necessary for the manner in which the editors of the Labour Department Blue-Book on the unemployed have performed their duties. I have taken a good deal of trouble, as the following pages will show, in studying the really valuable material which is contained in that publication, and have arrived at certain conclusions with regard to the editing of it, which, if unfounded, can easily be disproved, but which seem, at any rate, to suggest the necessity of some inquiry. Whatever the value of the criticism, I attach my name to it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unemployment: A Social Study This book gives an account of a detailed investigation of unemployment in York, together with suggestions for remedying the evils which it disclosed. Perhaps its chief value lies in the fact that it covered the whole city, and so far as we are aware, no detailed inquiry over a similar area has previously been made. There have, of course, been a great number of inquiries into the unemployment of particular sections of the people, as, for instance, those applying to distress committees, or registering at the Labour Exchange, or the members of trade unions, etc. But the partial character of such investigations has always laid them open to the criticism that they have given no complete picture of the problem, since the unemployed persons considered were not typical of the whole class.

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.
