In 2023, the Labor Force Survey reported an overall unemployment rate of 4.7%, with over 50,000 unemployed graduates, mostly from Arts and social sciences backgrounds in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the Sri Lankan government should develop appropriate policies to reduce unemployment. Consequently, research is needed to identify the factors and challenges faced by arts graduates in unemployment for policymakers. Numerous studies worldwide have explored the factors and challenges of unemployment among this group. The main objective of this study is to identify the challenges faced by arts graduates in the current Job market in Sri Lanka and to identify the causes of unemployment and propose recommendations to them. Quantitative research method was used to achieve the objectives of the study, the primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 120 Arts undergraduates from the South Eastern, Eastern, Peradeniya, and Jaffna Universities. Simultaneously, secondary data were gathered from books, research articles, University Grant Commission report, National Audit Office report, Sri Lanka Labor Force Survey report, and websites. The collected data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The study found that major challenges for Arts graduates include abundant job opportunities in the private sector. However, issues such as the necessary knowledge and skills often lead to prolonged unemployment. Many Arts graduates anticipate government jobs due to the perceived job security and pension benefits in the public sector. Simultaneously, Arts stream graduates who have completed professional courses and internship training are more likely to secure their first jobs immediately after graduation compared to those who haven't undergone such training. Nevertheless, a significant challenge is the limited employment opportunities for Arts graduates, both in the private and public sectors. The study indicates the necessity for substantial structural reforms on both the supply and demand sides to enhance the employability and employment rates of graduates. The government must take a leading role in these reforms to generate more job opportunities for arts graduates, while higher education institutes should initiate significant changes in study programs to cultivate intellectually rich and highly skilled graduates in arts and social sciences.","PeriodicalId":509754,"journal":{"name":"ORGANIZE: Journal of Economics, Management and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139860709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data used for this study were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria, Statistical Bulletin (2022). The ADF showed that the real exchange rate, lending interest rate, and trade openness were all integrated of order zero (∆ = 0); while, stock market integration and corporate investment were integrated of order one (∆ = 1). The ADF result showed that stock market integration exhibited a non-stability trend over the years, real exchange rate showed a negative sign but non-significant at 5%; while, lending interest rate and trade openness was negative and significant. The study concluded that stock market integration was volatile over the years which limited the rate of impacting corporate investment in Nigeria; while, lesser interest rate and trade liberation promote corporate investment.

This is attributed to the various arguments for and against the benefits of foreign aid, as it relates to sustainable development. As such, the study examined the effect of foreign aids on sustainable development in Nigeria from 1986-2021. The study used Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Johansen Co-integration test, Dynamic Least Squares (DOLS) and Granger Causality test. The ADF result showed that sustainable development, foreign aids, exchange rate, inflation rate and trade openness were stationary at first level difference. Also Johansen co-integration test confirmed a long-run relationship between the variables. The DOLS result revealed that, foreign aid, exchange rate and trade openness were significant with each exhibiting a direct link with sustainable development at 5%; while, that of foreign aid was at 10%. This suggests that inflow of foreign aids in different forms is essential for resource conservation. Also, inflation rate showed an inverse and significant link with sustainable development at 5%. In addition, a bi-directional causality was established between foreign aid and sustainable development. The study concluded that foreign aids in different forms, exchange rates stability and high exportation that comply with environmental sustainability boost Nigeria's sustainable development growth, but spiral inflation worsens it. Thus, it is advised that government should declare an emergency over environmental issues in order to guarantee an increase in the flow of foreign aid into environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":509754,"journal":{"name":"ORGANIZE: Journal of Economics, Management and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139153014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of this research show that WeWork as a company, after developing and reaching its peak, did not pay attention to the potential losses that occurred. Specifically in this study, the valuation that occurred was at least influenced by the cost of capital and risk management which had an impact on the valuation value that occurred with WeWork in the 2019 era. WeWork's weakness at that time was the difficulty in maintaining its capital injection, because owner Adan Neumann made unproductive spending. This then explains that risk management is also an important thing related to the collapse of WeWork in mid-2019 because at that time there was no thought about the risks that would occur if the company's capital injection ran out.","PeriodicalId":509754,"journal":{"name":"ORGANIZE: Journal of Economics, Management and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139154194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining their viewpoints, the article explores the divergent approaches and underlying principles in implementing fiscal stimulus policies. Chapra's perspective highlights the importance of ethics, justice, and social welfare in economic decision-making, emphasizing the compatibility of fiscal stimulus with Islamic economic principles. In contrast, Keynesian economics, as advocated by Keynes, emphasizes the role of government intervention and the use of fiscal policies to stimulate aggregate demand and overcome economic downturns. The article critically analyzes the similarities, differences, and potential areas of convergence between these two prominent economists, shedding light on the implications and effectiveness of fiscal stimulus measures in various economic contexts. By understanding and comparing these perspectives, policymakers and economists can gain valuable insights into crafting comprehensive and context-specific approaches to address economic crises and promote sustainable economic growth.","PeriodicalId":509754,"journal":{"name":"ORGANIZE: Journal of Economics, Management and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139310118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
