is the period of time that an individual spends at paid occupational labor. Unpaid labors such as housework are not considered part of the working week. Many countries regulate the work week by law, such as stipulating minimum daily rest periods, annual holidays and a maximum number of working hours per week. Since the 1960s, the consensus among researchers (anthropologists, historians, sociologists), has been that early hunter-gatherer societies enjoyed much more leisure time than is permitted by capitalist and agricultural societies; 1 2 For instance, one camp of !Kung Bushmen was estimated to work two-and-a-half days per ...

Downsizing is a knee-jerk tactic ostensibly used by management to reduce organizational cost during tough economic times. But in fact it does not deliver the goods. In both Canada and the United States, there have been many stories of woe across a large variety of organizations as a result of the underperforming global economy. Thousands of jobs have disappeared in Canada, especially in manufacturing and construction. The provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Quebec have been particularly hard hit in these areas. In the U.S., where the picture is even bleaker, their numbers of negatively ... Read More

PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT IN JAPAN
This is an analysis of the background of the widening income disparity in Japan, and possible measures that can be taken. More opportunities for non-regular workers to seek regular employment status should be created by appropriate deregulation and social security policies, in order to impede the current trend of stratum immobilization caused by the lack of these opportunities. Widening of income gap apparent in late 1990s There is much talk recently about the widening of the income gap, but determining the optimal degree of income disparity for a society is not a simple task. If disparity gets too wide it will cause a sense of ...

WASHINGTON - While the national spotlight is focused on illegal immigration, millions of people enter the United States legally each year on both a temporary and permanent basis. But the demand to immigrate to the United States far outweighs the number of people that immigration laws allow to move here legally. Wait times can be years, compounding the problem and reducing opportunities for many more who desperately want to come to the United States. In 2009 alone, more than 1.1 million people, including nearly 21,000 living in Arizona, became legal permanent residents, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's ...

Despite Japan's recent recession, many Americans consider Japan's economy as equal to or even stronger than our own. Such beliefs cause some Americans to buy the conspiratorial arguments about the "Japanese Threat", found in recent fiction by such authors as Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton. While Japan is a world economic power, the Japanese face problems that are unparalleled since the end of World War II. Many people believe the United States was once the greatest economy in the world, but beginning in the 1970s the Japanese "caught" the Americans. Today, so the assumption goes, the Japanese are superior and America ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I want to visit Japan next year or the year after when I save up a decent amount of money. I took 2 years of Japanese class in high school and found learning the culture and language fascinating and was the highlight of my school day. How much should I save up for a couple weeks if I go with a buddy? Also if I decide to seek temporary or permanent employment in Japan what qualifications would I have to meet and what jobs could I do as a foreigner? I am starting my first year of community college this fall but plan on transferring to a university. I already know about teaching English as a native English speaker living in America ...

self-employed contract worker (For US tax purposes, I receive a
1099-MISC and file Schedule C). I'm only vaguely familiar with the
subject of work visas and greencards, but specifically I don't want to
work for a Japanese company, I'd prefer to continue my same ...
