“…Difficulties in acquiring qualified employees may partially be a consequence of the competency mismatch of candidates on the market with the dynamically advancing technological capabilities, digitization, and the evolving specificity and organization of many enterprises [45]. Moreover, the labor market dynamics forces companies to be able to quickly train employees to adapt to production and/or employment changes [46,47], and furthermore, the migration crisis [48][49][50], results in a new requirement-to be able to create workplaces for foreign-speaking employees [51]. All this causes the search for solutions that may support the functioning of enterprises without causing downtime in the execution of tasks.…”

The article presents a novel idea of Interaction Quality Sensor (IQS), introduced in the complete solution of Hybrid INTelligence (HINT) architecture for intelligent control systems. The proposed system is designed to use and prioritize multiple information channels (speech, images, videos) in order to optimize the information flow efficiency of interaction in HMI systems. The proposed architecture is implemented and validated in a real-world application of training unskilled workers—new employees (with lower competencies and/or a language barrier). With the help of the HINT system, the man–machine communication information channels are deliberately chosen based on IQS readouts to enable an untrained, inexperienced, foreign employee candidate to become a good worker, while not requiring the presence of either an interpreter or an expert during training. The proposed implementation is in line with the labor market trend, which displays significant fluctuations. The HINT system is designed to activate human resources and support organizations/enterprises in the effective assimilation of employees to the tasks performed on the production assembly line. The market need of solving this noticeable problem was caused by a large migration of employees within (and between) enterprises. The research results presented in the work show significant benefits of the methods used, while supporting multilingualism and optimizing the preselection of information channels.

“…The study found that female labour gave impact over multiple dimensions of gender stratification, which ranged across economic, family, demographic, ideological, political and educational systems. As stated by Shimada (2005), many workers migrate because they can get better working conditions. These situations show us selected developing countries, especially BIMP being one of the locations for large inflows of foreign workers.…”

Objective – Prior to the East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA) in ASEAN, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines (BIMP) took in an inflow of immigrants to support growth. The more they depended on foreign labour, the issue of gender inequality in the job sector became an issue that is hindering prosperity. Methodology/Technique – The research was aimed to identify the relation between unemployment rate from the gender perspective and economic growth of BIMP-EAGA by using two methods, namely Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS). Annual time series data for the period of 1990 to 2018 was employed. Findings & Novelty – The result was contrary to Okun's law which says that there is a negative relation between the male unemployment rate and GDP. This study found that the female unemployment rate did not affect GDP and was insignificant. Policies that benefit and increase the participation of female workers in the job sector should be enhanced to prepare a conducive environment for the economy. Type of Paper: Empirical.

“…Furthermore, there are by now some empirical studies on labour market transmission and on migration using CGE models, but these models are not appropriate for the policy analysis of the labour situation of the minority ethnic groups. If on the one hand, the existing CGE analysis on labour transmission does not include the modelling of the minority ethnic groups (Agénor, Nabli, Yousef, & Jensen, 2007;Naudé & Coetzee, 2004;Winchester & Greenaway, 2007); on the other hand, migration refers to foreign labour and has been modelled by labour bilateral flows from one country to another (Shimada, 2005;Weyerbrock, 1995). But minority ethnic groups are domestic labour and workers are native in the countries they live, and not immigrants from other countries, for this, differently to the previous studies, in GTAP-MEG the labour market has been modelled to include ethnicity, employment status and occupational class.…”

This paper investigates the effects, in terms of labour and macroeconomic indicators, of closing the gap between the ethnic minority employment rate and the overall population rate using a computable general equilibrium modelling framework. The labour market has been integrated by indicators related to ethnicity, employment status and occupational class. The policy test has been designed for the UK. According to the results, the policy actions aimed to remove the barriers that contribute to the unemployment of the minority ethnic groups improve not only the employment and occupational status of these groups, but the effects are also positive in terms of aggregate employment, GDP, trade and welfare.
