    Moreover, another predominant factor as to why the state should remain to have a role in employment relations, and so businesses can’t set their own terms and conditions of work for their employees, is because there is a significant exploitation of temporary migrant workers and their entitlements. Migrant workers are mistreated in multiple ways for their efforts as an employee. These can encompass of no workers compensation if they were injured in hazardous working conditions and also unsatisfactory or limited pay and entitlements for their efforts, which is due a lack of knowledge of legislations and their rights as employees. As a result of this, exploited migrant workers do not stand up for their rights in the workplace for fear that their employers will retaliate by notifying the police or immigration, resulting in deportation.…

    Labour laws is defined as the balance of power among government, employers, workers, and unions. The redrafting of a country’s labour laws typically reflects a shift in the power relations and may carry unfavourable consequences for a former beneficiaries. As the Colliers put it, “Labour law is a highly visible and concrete policy statement around which political battles are fought, won, and lost, and around which political support is attracted, granted, and withheld… labour law thus provides a valuable point of reference for analyzing the larger political context” (Collier and Collier 1979, 971).…

    The argument thus far has been that the neoliberal globalization has contributed to the poverty in the developing regions through the means of neoliberal policy prescription and inadequate representation of the developing countries' interests on the global stage. Poverty rates on the other hand, seem to be correlated with crime rates. It was argued by Webster and Kingston (2014) that the weaker economy seems to correlate with higher criminal activity “A weaker economy usually quickly leads to more unemployed and underemployed people who may seek criminal opportunities as alternatives to poor or non-existent work.” (p. 24). By impoverishing the developing countries, neoliberal globalization creates perfect conditions for crime to thrive in as…

    What can two dollars buy you? A small coffee at Starbucks, a candy bar, bag of chips, and a soda, a slice of pizza. For nearly three billion people, approximately half of the world 's population, two dollars a day is all the money that the person has to live on. Moreover, of the 2.2 billion children in the world, 1 billion grow up in poverty; 640 million without adequate shelter, 400 millions with no access to safe water, and 270 million with no access to health services (UNICEF 2005). One proposed reason for this harsh reality of high poverty rates is globalization - the growing integration of economies and societies around the world. The claim that globalization generates poverty has been the focus of many debates for the last twenty years, including the debate between Carlos Caretto, Gillian Crowl, Steve Grossman, and Annie Wong on February 21, 2005. Caretto and Crowl argued that poverty is an indirect result of globalization as is evident by high unemployment rates, wage inequality, and diminishing health and educational programs. Grossman and Wong contended that globalization does not generate poverty, but it in fact helps the world by promoting education, decreasing and shortening the length of wars, and increasing new resources. Close examination of the facts presented in lectures, readings, and the debates shows that each side presents logical evidence, but the facts confirm that globalization does in fact generate poverty.…

    The countries and global institutions struggle to solve discrimination problem shows a combination of failures and major advances. The discrimination in workplace becomes global issues, and political intervention should reduce the issues. In 1951, International Labour Organisation member States ratified two international labour standards: “Equal Remuneration Convention” No. 100, and in 1958, Discrimination Convention (Occupation and Employment) No. 111. In 2006, the number of countries who involve in the this Convention has expanded significantly.…
