About this assignment:
Labour Economics Assignment #1
This assignment requires you to explore one or more aspects of labour economics within the context of a particular company, industry, or economic sector, of your own choosing.
For this assignment, you are required to:
ï‚· Describe the economic aspect(s) included
ï‚· Describe the company/industry
ï‚· Describe the impact/relevance of the aspect to the company/industry
ï‚· Thoughtfully analyze issues relevant to the chosen aspect in relation to the chosen
company/industry
ï‚· Identify and/or propose solutions to any problems or remedies for negative impacts as
well as ways to capitalize on opportunities or mitigate any potential issues.
ï‚· Draw conclusions and create a summary that ties all elements of the paper together
and brings the document to a logical conclusion
The assignment has to be completed individually.
The paper should include your own research of the subject matter explored, with proper references provided. Research should extend beyond the text, to include sources such as company or corporate websites, news media, and/or third-party websites.
The information presented should not only be accurate and factual, but include your own thoughtful analysis of what the information means to the company/organization, the Canadian/global economy, or both.
An example of a company could be "Honda"; and example of an industry could be the Auto Sector; an example of an economic sector could be "Manufacturing" - you may choose to examine one, several, or all in your assignment.
Examples of aspects of labour economics should primarily be drawn from (but certainly are not limited to) Chapter 3: Institutional Aspects of the Labour Market.
