I’ll be talking about economy during 1945-1950. Economically, the effects of the ‘dirty thirties’ had been overcome through wartime production and centralized government control of the economy. Nevertheless, it was initially unclear to what extent the provincial governments would allow the federal government to retain many of these powers in peacetime. Financial prosperity helped create and was sustained by a major upsurge in the Canadian population. Canadian soldiers arrived home with 43,000 war brides and 21,000 children, and this signaled the start of the ‘baby boom,’ which would be at its most prolific in the decade after 1945.
The reason for the massive expansion in the birth rate was because of the new stable economy, and the jobs the returning men received. It was a time for prosperity and couples were able to have a family again. Having such an enormous generation can impact Canada’s economy severely. A huge generation has a negative impact on an economy because of the things the government has to do to support the growing generation. For example, creating numerous amount of jobs and homes which are going to be occupied just for a certain period of time because the upcoming generation is not as massive as the baby boomers.
This increases unity and makes the country more cohesive and hospitable, thus encouraging immigration” Immigration provides constant growth in the labour force which is helps the Canadian labour market Since most of the immigrants are skilled, Canada is able to heavily rely on them and employ them for the most important jobs throughout the labour market, consequently helping its economy grow. Immigration is responsible for two thirds of Canada's 5.4% growth. "Foreign skills accreditation in Canada has not kept pace with rising immigration levels. Given the importance of immigrants to our country's economy, Canada will need to do better," states Cohen. Irish were Canada's first of foreign immigrants.
Specifically, the home improvement industry has contracted by 1.2% in 2009. Companies have responded by increasing sales promotions and discounting in order to grow their share of the declining market. This has increased competition and deferred new entrants. However, as the economy recovers, the industry is expected to grow at a forecasted compounded annual growth rate of 3% until 2014. The Canadian general merchandise retailing industry is highly competitive.
These endeavors provided a huge boost to the economy of the United States, advanced industrial technology, and provided more work opportunities for Americans. Most Americans were supportive of these changes and took great pride in the industrial prowess of their country. Another major cultural change brought on as a direct result of the United States’ involvement in World War II was the role of women in society. For years, women had been entering the workforce in growing numbers; however, they remained largely constrained to specific gender roles. World War II changed this in a number of ways.
America had the resources to solely rely on agricultural, but the incoming of new inventions made it harder to pass up a great opportunity and America had to use these innovations to their advantage. The Industrial Revolution brought many settlers to America to work in the growing factories. More workers meant more production, thus creating an economic boom in America. This economic boom was also the start of prosperity for the people in America. The fact that people would travel West and have a new way of life using the new technology and at the same time being able to have land that was all their own.
Conscription soaked up rural unemployment and some peasants grew prosperous. Fiat received cheap loans to re-equip factories and military contracts because of the strength of demand for army vehicles. Fiat also grew fivefold. The industrial north benefited most from the war, describing it as a ‘total war’ and in the south the gap with the poverty stricken grew wider. By the time it came to 1918 food shortages had caused riots and discontent and the government was finding it difficult to keep the army supplied.
Much of this investment came from already industrialized countries like Germany, Great Britain, and France whose business owners looked for new investment opportunities in the United States. These investors put money into the work of mechanics and engineers with the expertise to develop new, more efficient ways of mass-producing goods. Machines benefited the United States by allowing business owners to specialize in the production of goods and manufacture them in large quantities to distribute throughout the nation or export. As a result, the cost of mass-produced goods went down as their quantity went up causing industrial profits to rise. With the creation of transcontinental railroads and telephones, marketing nationally was available to distribute these goods.
• Explain the impact of immigration on British society in the years 1951-79 The British society have transformed very much since 1945. A main cause of change has been the major growth in the population of immigration, matched by rising expectations about lifestyle, but it was the massive social, political and economic changes at home that truly transformed British society during the 1950’s to the 1970’s. The impact of finance in the 1950’s was very high as there were changes of job acceptance; there was a need for cheap labour this therefore limited racial disagreement, as jobs needed to be covered in order for the economy to be stable. Violence and tension rose because of an increase in racial tension, as black people were not always welcome
Factors in Immigrant Employment The experience of moving oneself and one’s family across the globe in search of a better life with more opportunities for success and the chance to find health and well being in a new country is a daunting and formidable endeavour. The increased occurrence of global immigration has marked the last two centuries, and helped to populate North America with the world’s diasporas. In recent years, the immigration experience into Canada has become the focus of a good deal of attention from academics and policy-makers, in no small part as a reaction to the high-water mark numbers of foreign born individuals currently residing in the nation, approximately 18.4% according to recent statistics (Sweetman, 2004: 1). These recent changes to the character of immigration in Canada make for several factors which both limit and increase the opportunity for immigrant employment in Canada. This essay argues that the key limiting factors in the immigrant employment experience in Canada are language and credential recognition, whereas the key factors for increasing immigrant employment are policy shifts and urban co-ethnic communities.
