the changes to the long term sickness benefit .just leave claiments in the air all it seems to be is a way of taking money from those who can least afford it . you may appeal a judgement but though you already have been assest you now get means tested .the govenment have done themselves no good with this tinkering with the pensions .the silent majority will remember this at the next election they are just storing up trouble for themselves .remember all of us will be sick or old one day

I have to agree with Alan . Young people "seeking for work " and being too cool to do it for lower wages to start with or actually unable do anything properly Shame Injury talk

In the UK the publicly released jobless figures are artificially low owing to the fact that they do not include unemployed workers over 60. Moreover, the method of calculating unemployment figures has chaged several times in the last 50 years in a manner that makes the jobless total look smaller than it would be had the method of calculation remained the same. We need honest unemployment figures, not cynically massaged ones. Only then will we have a correct understanding of the problem.

Their should only be one public sector job allowed per household this alone would fairly share the burden and end the unemployment problem overnight. Nor should they be allowed to collect two payments from the taxpayer pension etc. and a salary.

Ireland is spending its scarce resources on training people for the modern knowledge economy but is heavily dependent on foreign direct investment. Ireland has a good pool of well eucated English speaking young people who adapt quickly to new ideas.

thanks for this very informative information guys much apreiciated

most unemployments are found in lesser developed nations as the list had shown , the problems is more a result of underdevelopment rather than world relations, infracture and ability to produce is the main concern , not everybody is a good producer and the point is to be one, its not others to blame if you are not able to produce but to produce as a producer can

it seems that the highest unemployment rate is among the less developed countries where industrial capability is much lesser, in this case the cause of unemployment is not such a result of international relations but more a reason of the nation's ability to produce and to invest. its infracture and leading intelligence the prime concern, and not world relations and not race problems to blame. and industry and productivity itself also needs human character and human attitude and human personality for it. not everybody is a good producer. and the point is to be one
