Editor's Notes
I’m going to argue that today, employability depends on a range of factors; and that these factors are affecting most of us, in most places, at most of the time. I’m going to argue that there are in fact, three drivers of change behind the employability agenda:
As can be seen in the graph, political globalization, in particular, decreased during the last two years. This is due to the decrease the UK’s participation in United Nations peace keeping missions.
This is hardly surprising, because globalization affects the underlying structure of economies causing the shift of workers and other factors of production from industry to industry as well as from country to country. According to normative economic theory, the losers from these structural shifts should be compensated from the winners’ gains. Of course, it is stating the obvious that they most often are not. This is one reason for the visible concern about globalization. Transfers from the winners to the losers of globalization are more difficult to implement in practice than in theory. First, the losers have to be identified. Secondly, they have to be compensated without producing adverse incentives to the economy as a whole. At a minimum, the construction of an overall measure of globalization hopefully constitutes a first step in helping to address the first of these issues. The second, more pressing one, remains as one of the most challenging research questions for social scientists.
