The UK employment rates remain high with the past records. UK is known to have a high
rate of employment which is 75.6% with the population of 32.39 million according to th latest
official census that was published last year. The employment rate in UK has never been this high
with almost more than 3.3 million people working altogether. On an average basis it has been
found that that 1000 people find a job each year since the year 2010. With the increase in the tax
payment the government of the country has also stated that they will be providing the workers
with more and more salary and wages. In the private sector it is known that more than 27.04
million people are working. The figure f the workers employed in the private sector for the year
2010 was only 3.06%. It has risen to 27.04% this year.
However the authors (Banks, Blundell and Emmerson 2015) explains that the tight
market condition of the labour was only because at that certain period of time was a shortage of
skills and knowledge in the aspect of the lavbour market. On the other hand when the discussion
comes to the loose market condition I can be said that the only reason behind this factor of labor
market was the surplus of the knowledge and skills which are very useful in undertaking various
types f roles in the market.
Whereas taking the South African labor market in hand it can be seen that the market is
in need of a n urgent reform. The highly centralized wage bargaining among the competitors of
the market which is coupled with minimum wage requirements has reduced the attraction of the
country to do business with other countries. It has thus also given a rise to a serious insider and
outsider problem which gets reflected in an unemployment rate that still remains in excess of 25
percent and in the labor participation that is below 55%. Though there is a huge availability of
labor in the market but most of the people refuse to work just because of the minimum amount of
pay which is received by them from the companies (Buchan and Seccombe 2018). As because

majority of the jobs are related with the community the people there are not willing to work with
the companies. The main source of the people there is agriculture where the employment has
increased from around 190,000 to 193,000. The part of the paper has discussed the market trends
in both the countries which are UK and Africa. It has discussed the tight and loose market trends
in both the countries.
On an quarterly basis if judged the tight and loose labor trends are not affecting the
performance of the works of the company as because they are mostly uneducated. ABC company
makes use of the SWOT Analysis and PESTLE Analysis in order to position themselves
strategically in the competitive labor market. The company is also trying to target a specific
group of people who will be able to work with the company and add values to the company.
Question 2
Give a brief description of the role of government, employers and trade unions in ensuring
the future skills needs are met.
The Government is fully responsible for deciding how the country is running and
managing things on a day to day basis. The government of UK is known to set the tax rates, they
only have the authority to spend money on the public services which includes the Nation health
and service policies Workers Health Care Management Act and various types of security that are
related to the armed forces. The Government has also served or granted an amount of $60,000 to
the company in order t investigate various types of training and development programs (Stiglitz
and Rosengard 2015). These types’ f training and development programs will be upgrading the
company’s flagship Port Talbort unit in the south Wales. Employees are the true assets of a

to strive hard to deliver their level best and achieve the assigned targets also within the
speculated amount of time that is provided to them. Individuals take the role of chief executives
where they should be able to get involved in the partnership programs, and help the co works in
performing their job more effectively and efficiently. Taking the example of an employee who
has a background of fiancé and management might be able to take the role of the financial officer
and help the other employees who are weak in their positions. The employees shoul be able to
work effectively and efficiently.
If a certain employee is performing the individual tasks properly and timely, it can
benefit the company. The communication process will be well maintained within the employees
and the managers of the company. The company will be able to produce more and more products
and services which will increase the production. If the production of the company is increase,
then it will definitely maximize the profit earned by the company making it more competitive in
the market . The main purpose of the trade unions in the company is to look after the negotiation
of the wages and salary which are given to the labor and employees working in the company.
They are also helpful in regulating the relations between the workers, employees and the top
management of the company. The trade unions helps in raising new demands on the behalf of the
members and employees working in the company. They also help in settling disputes among the
workers and the management.
