Book A Better Fit Between Unemployment Insurance and Retraining

Download or read book A Better Fit Between Unemployment Insurance and Retraining written by Paul E. Barton and published by National Institute for Work & Learning. This book was released on 1986 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important first step in addressing the issue of obtaining a better fit between unemployment insurance (UI) and retraining was taken in 1970 when the federal government enacted a provision permitting workers to enroll in training without denial of benefits due to application of the work test. Little was done, however, to pursue state compliance with the new provision or to encourage states to view facilitating training as a mission of UI. Even before 1970, Hawaii, West Virginia, and Massachusetts had provisions designed to make it easier for clients to avail themselves of retraining opportunities. Since the 1970 amendments, an additional six states have either revised or expanded their efforts in this area. One problem that persists is a lack of familiarity with the 1970 provisions. Only 23 of the states contacted in a survey of 30 UI officials in the states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands were aware of the 1970 legislation. Although some strategies for improving current retraining provisions would require substantial legislative changes, a good beginning could be made if states would only reassess their programs in light of the 1970 retraining provisions. Then, after individual states decide how far they want to support retraining initiatives, they can begin developing a screening process, undertake labor market assessment procedures to identify dislocated workers early in the UI claims process, and make appropriate referrals.

Book What We Owe Each Other

Download or read book What We Owe Each Other written by Minouche Shafik and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the leading policy experts of our time, an urgent rethinking of how we can better support each other to thrive Whether we realize it or not, all of us participate in the social contract every day through mutual obligations among our family, community, place of work, and fellow citizens. Caring for others, paying taxes, and benefiting from public services define the social contract that supports and binds us together as a society. Today, however, our social contract has been broken by changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and the perils of climate change. Minouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience—raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old—and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential. What We Owe Each Other identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return. Powerful, hopeful, and thought-provoking, What We Owe Each Other provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society—together.

Book Government Policies to Induce Efficient Retraining Decisions

Download or read book Government Policies to Induce Efficient Retraining Decisions written by Velma Montoya Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Paper focuses upon the government's role in retraining unemployed workers during nonrecession periods. To do so, two kinds of deviations from the ideal competitive world of economics are considered. Each deviation leads to economically inefficient retraining decisions and calls for a special kind of government policy to induce efficient retraining decisions. The first deviation supports the suggestion that the government extend unemployment compensation to recently unemployed men and women who retrain rather than search to gain new employment. Improving the allocation between search and retraining has the added feature of reducing the unemployment rate as conventionally measured in the United States. The second deviation supports the government's current subsidization of college-level retraining for middle-class women who are considering entering the labor force after rearing their children.
