# Employment Trends
|
||||
|
||||
## Globalization
|
||||
- What does globalization look like?
|
||||
- Example (clothing manufacturer)
|
||||
1. has a dress designed in Australia
|
||||
2. buys fabric from china
|
||||
3. has the dress sewn in Mexico
|
||||
4. warehouses the dress in canada
|
||||
5. sells it in North American and Europe
|
||||
What happens in some far-off place may not seem important, but it could have major effect on your work opportunities
|
||||
|
||||
- As more Canadian companies do buisness in the fast-moving international marketplace, they must:
|
||||
- compete with companies around the world
|
||||
- become more productive by finding ways to do things more cheaply
|
||||
- be able to change direction quikly to respond to the market place
|
||||
- meet the needs of a wide range of customers
|
||||
- be able to hire quickly and layoff quickly as needed
|
||||
|
||||
## Computers Everywhere!
|
||||
- the computer has found its way into every part of our lives. They are on our disks. they run the robots on production lines. they are part of itesm such as our cars, our wrist watches, our microwaves. Computer know-how is essential for your work life
|
||||
- Computerization is changing the way organizations operate
|
||||
- Traditional work is disappearing. You'll find computerized machines operating dispatching, driver license renewals
|
||||
- New jobs are being created to develop and run computer hardware, software, and computer networks
|
||||
- Computers are also creating new technologies which are, in turn, creating new types of work that never existsed before
|
||||
|
||||
## Growth Of The Net
|
||||
- Growth of the Internet use is affecting the way companies do business. Organizations can now
|
||||
- Know more about their competition in Canada and around the world
|
||||
- Advertise to global audineces through Web sites
|
||||
- Sell their products/services to global customers. This is called e-commenrce
|
||||
- Use e-mail as a way to communicate with employees, suppliers and buyers
|
||||
|
||||
## Smalll Business Grows Big
|
||||
- It is used to be that only very large business had the finicial means to compete in the marketplace. But computerizations and use of the Internet has given small organizatiosn the tools to be part of the global marketplace. In Canada, more jobs are being created by small businesses than large corporations
|
||||
- Small businesses are growing faster than their bigger counterparts. Why?
|
||||
- The internet allows small companies to advertise equally with big companies. They can prodift in specialized markets - markets too small for big business that has to sell to millions of people to be profitable
|
||||
- Small organizations can change quickly if necessary. It's hard for a big business to "turn on a dime"
|
||||
- Small organizations can be more innovative, particularly with respect to tehcnology
|
||||
- Because a small company can change quickly, it can take advantage of new ideas faster than a big one
|
||||
|
||||
## Baby Boomers
|
||||
- Canada's largest group of citizens are getting older, retiring, and leaving their occupations. This means:
|
||||
- Growht of upper-level positions at companies
|
||||
- increased need for health care
|
||||
- increase in socail/specialized spending
|
||||
|
||||
- As they grow older, baby boomers will require more frequent, sepcialized medical care. They will also want to maintain connectiosn with careers and family for as long as possible. therefore, expect to see continued growth in fields that cater to their wishes. The assisted lviving industry will continune to outpace other areas of healthcare, while growing teams of social worers will help ccare for less fortunate baby bommers
|
||||
|
||||
## Growth Of Grenn Industries
|
||||
- Businesses and governments are increasingly aware of Green Trends in employment, business, and other industries. Since the emergence of the green economy has produced a widespread adaptations and realocation of existing jobs
|
||||
- Increased need for training in green industries
|
||||
- Growth in green technologies
|
||||
- Changing requirements for business to maintain green standards
|
||||
- Increase in public awareness of enviornmental issues
|
||||
- Demand for workers in skilled fields (ex. trades)
|
||||
- Globally, a new economy is emerging, and it has a strong shade of green. By some estimates, the grenn economy is already woth more than US $4 trillion and is growing fast. The importance of harm caused by climate change is known to everyone. Climate change is a crisis of enormous magnitude and it isn't just an issue in the future
|
||||
- We are already feeling the effects, for example with receding glaciers, extreme weather events, etc. Some of theses jobs will be in specialized areas, such as installing solar panels and reseraching new building material technologies but the vast majority of jobs are in the same areas of employment that people already work in today.
