The concept of social justice has a lengthy history in terms of its development, understanding, and application to human relationships. It connects to parallel concerns around equal opportunity, equity, and recognition. Social justice has also been contested insofar as powerful vested interests have either denied its relevance or actively resisted its demands. In this article, social justice is placed in a global framework where different issues at different times are connected by common concerns and a shared humanity. One of the central questions informing emerging dimensions of service provision in international contexts is how we work with needs of specific communities to create a new matrix of opportunities for inclusion, mutual benefit, and intercultural encounter. Over the past three decades, processes involved in globalization have come to not only shape but determine that matrix in evermore significant ways. The globalization process is also at the core of labor market change in all countries. This has specific implications for learning specialists and rehabilitation educators in terms of their professional training, understanding of best practice, and standards in approaching the diversity emerging within many communities shaped by globalizing imperatives. The powerful resonance of exclusion linked to the experience of disability impacts many social approaches and policies, not least of which is access to the labor market. For those with disabilities, particularly in the context of the significant advances made by the Independent Living movement and the parallel focus on civil rights, these traditional models of work have been seen as problematic.

Social Security Benefits

The labor market has a crucial distribution function in Western welfare societies and is therefore a major source of social conflict. Our main argument is that a two-tier society develops as a consequence of the development of the labor market. Because labor costs increase relative to those of capital, selection devices in the labor market change. Level of education and health become more important, whereas the significance of gender decreases. The social consequences of these selection processes are analyzed as a process of spatial and mental segregation between participants and non-participants in the labor market. The social security system is an especially important new locus of social conflict. We conclude that the neo-liberal solution of reducing social security benefits will have the perverse effect of calling into existence an underclass, which threatens the property rights of the participants.

Level Shifts

This paper examines different aspects of labor market change. Three separate measures of change are used to examine respectively the extent of employment shifts among industries; job change measures that capture the extent of employment growth and decline as a result of changes in producer employment levels; the size of worker separations. When change is measured as the employment lost from manufacturing industries that decline in size between 1970 and 1979, the degree of reallocation is found to be relatively small. In contrast, job growth and decline at the producer level shifts large amounts, even in the long run. Over the period 1970 to 1981, about 3.6 percent of manufacturing jobs were lost annually due to the decline of producers. The largest amount of change is found when worker separations are measured. Between 1978 and 1986, the number of permanent separations was, on average, equal to more than 20 percent of the number of people holding jobs in the manufacturing sector.

The Government

The COVID-19 pandemic was identified in 17 days, and the related enormous economic and social impacts have mobilized the global scientific world in almost all areas of science. The leaders of individual countries have to face a challenge that has been unprecedented for many decades. The global pandemic could lead to profound changes in the balance of power, economic operations, and the labor market. In turn, the accompanying measures have brought a lot of changes to everyday life. Although the government of Romania had taken some measures to avoid the collapse of the economy. However, the experts did not regard these as efficient enough. At this time two-thirds of the Hungarian population do not feel that the media exaggerates the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the economic consequences of the pandemic are undisputable for the Hungarian people, just like for the Italian and French people who were severely affected by the virus. People have been deprived of the joy of social gatherings, free movement, travel and many of them have even lost their jobs. The primary question at the moment is whether countries could finance the sectors in hardship and whether their inter-dependence regarding the exchange of goods imposes any kind of danger to their citizens. In terms of macro-economy, however, the long-term consequences are much more interesting, and it raises questions like how the countries will be able to handle the situation resulted by the increased unemployment and the different trade relations. This study presents a primary research with the age group of 18-30. The target group is leaders of student unions and academics of four universities. This questionnaire survey aims to examine how the Hungarian and Transylvanian respondents see the prospective economic effects of the current situation on the different sectors of the economy. In addition to the descriptive statistical analysis, the perception of economic impacts was examined with variance analysis concerning different demographic characteristics, and the currently studied subject area. Is the negative attitude prevailing or do the different groups react differently to the state of affairs? The greatest differences in the opinion of respondents could be observed in the area of lifestyle and healthcare. The experts think that the pandemic will result in great changes in the offices, homes, schools, and places of work. Negative aftereffects are not predicted in higher education, sales, and trade. It can be concluded that negative labor market trends are expected, therefore probably the young generation currently studying in higher education will be one of the biggest losers of the virus in the long run. Keywords: COVID 19, pandemic, economic impact, changes in subject areas.
