4 assignment about sociology

Assignment 1: Research Memo on Labour Markets
Length: 500 words, plus two data tables
Instructions:
For this assignment, you need to collect some data and briefly describe your findings. The purpose of the assignment is twofold: 1) to highlight the fact that different demographics have different access to jobs; and 2) to highlight the importance of empirical data. In later assignments, you will develop arguments on various issues. Whatever the issues are and whichever theoretical approaches you will use to construct your arguments, they must have empirical support.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Data collection: Go to the Statistics Canada website and find data for the last five years available on:
o Unemployment rates for 1) total labour force, 2) men, 3) women
o Labour force participation rates for 1) total labour force, 2) men, 3) women
Put all data on unemployment in one table, and data on labour force participation into another.
Hint I: Gender isn’t the only factor that differentiates labour market access, it is also different depending on age, educational attainment, citizen status, and region. If you prefer looking at either of these factors instead of gender, let your tutor know in advance.
Hint II: You must provide the links to your data sources in order to pass this assignment.
2. Data description: Take a good look at your tables and describe your findings briefly (in 500 words) with regard to differences between different groups of workers, changes over time within each category, and changes in the differences between the different groups. In this assignment, you do not need to provide any explanations. It is entirely focused on the empirical picture.
Assignment 2: Essay on Paid and Unpaid Work
Instructions:
For this assignment, you need to write an essay (1,000 words) on paid and unpaid work. The purpose of this essay is to present facts and arguments from the course readings in a succinct way. This includes providing precise definitions of the key concepts that you use in your essay.
The essay should answer the following questions:
1. Why is labour market access different for men and women?
2. What are the relations between paid and unpaid work?
3. What are the peculiarities of caring work?
Assignment 3: Managerial Control and Workers’ Collective Action
Instructions:
For this assignment, you need to craft an essay (2,000 words) on the relations between managerial control and worker autonomy. The purpose of this paper is to explain why managers claim control of the labour process, why workers may engage in collective action to improve their incomes and working conditions, and how such collective action might impact management strategies. To do this, you need a thesis statement that allows you to decide which arguments from the readings you will use to develop your own line of argument. You also need to ensure that your arguments are in line with empirical findings presented in the readings. You are not expected to do further research. But you can, if you like. If you do, make sure to use scholarly sources and properly cite them. Also, use theories as a conceptual framework around which you can organize empirical evidence. The readings assigned in Units 4 and 5 introduce theories of bureaucracies, organizations, and managerial control and conflict. Look at them first, see which ones suit the arguments you want to advance, and construct your conceptual framework out of them before looking for the piece of evidence you need to support your arguments.
Assignment 4: The Future of Work
Instructions:
For this assignment, you need to write an essay on the future of work (1,000 words). The purpose of this essay is to think about what, in your view, is wrong with work today and how it could possibly be changed for the better. It is a visionary essay. It’s starting point is the empirical reality of today’s world, it’s end point is what it could be. To connect the two, you have to identify the ills of today’s world, means to cure them and be aware of the conditions under which change could be brought about. Envisioning a different world of work is not some kind of airy-fairy exercise or escape from reality, it is about laying out possible roadmaps that careful consider the landscape that needs to be navigated to reach the goal of a better world of work.
Aspects that you might address are the following:
• Inequality and insecurity
• Organization of work and the question of “post-industrialism”
• Globalization of work
The essay should answer the following questions:
1. What is wrong with work today?
2. How should work be distributed and organized in the future?
3. Which are the means to realize your vision of work?
4. Who is applying those means and who might try to stop their application?
