Abstract

Coordinated regional development requires coordination between the corresponding industrial structure and employment structure.In the relationship between industrial structure and employment structure, the changes and development of industrial structure will have an impact on the change and development of employment structure. In turn, the changes and development of employment structure will also have an impact on industrial structure. Therefore, studying the coordination problem of industrial structure and employment structure is an important driving force to solve regional development problems, promote coordinated regional development, and achieve sustainable development. This study selects the data on the industrial structure and employment structure of Qinghai Province in China from 1990 to 2022 as the key research object, and systematically and in-depth analyzes the coordination of the industrial structure and employment structure in Qinghai Province. Based on Aitchison geometry and log ratio transformation of component data theory, the existing coordination coefficient index that measures the coordination relationship between industrial structure and employment structure is improved. In addition, the rationality of the coordination coefficient is further verified through the improved coordination coefficient index. In order to further measure the degree of coordination between the industrial structure and the employment structure in Qinghai Province, the Moore structure value was used as the basic data and the gray correlation analysis method was used to calculate the lag time of the employment structure. Research shows that: (1)Compared with the existing coordination coefficient, the improved coordination coefficient has advantages in theory and practical application; the improved coordination coefficient can measure whether the evolution directions of industrial structure and employment structure are in the same direction, and at the same time, it can reasonably Explain the changes in the coordination relationship between industrial structure and employment structure. (2)The evolution trend of Qinghai Province’s industrial structure and employment structure is basically in line with the development laws of modern economy, but there is still a certain gap between the development of the ideal industrial structure and employment structure.

Abstract

Peace is a key constituent of sustainable development. A well business setting is significant for expansion, besides in conflict-ridden societies; commercial processes are disturbed due to the untrustworthy social amenities and the occurrence of social glitches for example privation, starvation and disparity. In order to seepage straight, physical and/or national ferocity, trades may be involuntary to end and change to benign sites, smooth as the persons residual in these conflict-ridden parts knowledge privation, starvation besides reduced chances. The old-style idea of peace—the nonappearance of battle—is not sufficient to transport around sustainable development. Doubt an administration trimmings equipped conflicts by delivering a truce deprived of speaking its fundamental issues, battle may recommence additional troublesome commercial processes and worsening deficiency, starvation and disparity. Johan Galtung contended that here are two types of concord: negative peace and positive peace. He distinct negative peace by way of “the nonappearance of ferocity, nonappearance of conflict,” and recognized three main groups of ferocity: straight, physical and social. Physical violence mentions to the unfair schemes that relegate sure clusters. Cultural violence relates to communal averages that defend straight and physical ferocity. Direct ferocity, such as war besides corruption, is a consequence of structural and national violence. Galtung labelled optimistic concord as the “adding of humanoid civilization.” Positive peace includes stopping or finish straight ferocity as well as physical and national ferocity. Unfair social constructions besides communal standards are modified to stop the incidence of straight ferocity.
Positive peace recognizes that finish battle is not sufficient and that factual concord needs an additional all-inclusive method. The Eight Pillars of Positive Peace reinforces a civilization after inside by making a setting that cultivates groups and chains initiative. A civilization that can provision trades is a civilization talented to deliver rudimentary communal facilities and living chances, subsequent in concord in addition to sustainable development

Abstract

The current geopolitical volatility in the immediate proximity of the European and, more specifically, EU-27 borders has brought to light wide incongruities about policies, the actual state of affairs regarding inequality at several levels, and the lag between changes in the economic and social landscape designed through policies and the wider public perception of the public, thus triggering a wave of increasing discontent Europe-wide resulting in an unprecedented populist wave. The European Union construction was in itself an institutional and the past two decades have progressed towards increased challenges and risks as the shift from “one size fits all” to the “customized size” was associated with the creation of the new institutional assessment tool “European Semester”. The subsequent pandemic-triggered changes and the outbreak of open conflicts in the immediate proximity of European borders contribute to heightening the volatility. Issues and potential challenges can be identified at several levels, all determinants for the current state of economic and social uncertainty.
Our analysis proposes a mixed framework for analyzing the interplay between economic- and social-institutional factors influencing outcomes relevant to the European labor markets and societies and traditional macroeconomic indicators used to assess the competitiveness and performance level of member states with particular emphasis on selected central and European member states (Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary) and Southern Member-States (Greece, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Italy) while using as benchmark some other comparable western and central Europe member-states (France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden). Considering the availability of data, several dimensions were selected for analyzing the specific interaction between institutional, economic and social factors with impact on present and future developments determining the increase or decrease of inequalities from the perspective of education, labor market and digitalization of the economic and social life. The findings show that institutional factors need to be reconsidered as they impact either directly or indirectly actual measurable macroeconomic indicators. Of particular relevance is the interaction of the educational systems and their capacity to coordinate and collaborate with stakeholders from the public and private sectors aiming to the creation of inclusive labor markets that are the core of reducing persistent inequalities both at intra- and inter-regional levels. Lack of assessing impact from the economic and social-institutional perspective in an integrated institutional-macroeconomic framework might increase short, medium-term and even long-term risks of polarization, and social unrest and even create a favorable environment for open or covert economic and social conflicts.
