Career tragedy : Job security 



         Robert kiyosaki is the founder of rich global LLC and Rich dad company. He said that job security is a myth. Then, is there a dead end to my job ? Unfortunately, Job security is more rare than before. Many external factors threaten job security which includes globalisation, new technology, recession, outsourcing, low physical & mental health, disasters, safety issues at work area etc. The constant emerging of techniques, technologies, methods & ideas are demanding not only knowledge but also required skills up to date.
         We need that educational environment where we can learn & gain knowledge, skills & flexible mental state to cope up with highly changing job market. Well, with rigid personality it is difficult to see job security. We live in a 'gig economy' where people are engaged in two or more jobs at the same time to reduce the risk of becoming  unemployed. There are some unavoidable factors affecting to job security like age, educational background, quality of schooling, geographic location,  job satisfaction, vulnerability, changing policies etc. The one has to be prepared with plans & strategies to overcome these.
How can we try to ensure job security ?
Some formal ways like,
1. Employment Agreement/Bond/Contract
2. Labour Legislation
3. Adaptability towards skills according to the job title
4. Becoming more productive in terms of ideas & work quality
5. Working proactively
6. Hard work for long term career position
Some informal ways like,
1. Securing earning sources from various platforms
2. Personality grooming
3. Studying present & future needs, trends in job market
        Today, Young people, between 24-34, typically spend 3-4 years with company/organization, as per the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor statistics. Times are changing. This is may be because for more salary, status, change in working environment at workplace etc. Most of the time, I have observed that fear of no job satisfaction also bigger than job loss. But people who are dependent on daily bases or weekly bases income are major victims of job losses emerged through recession or disaster or crisis. One may noticed that temporary contracts, temporary agency & dispatched work, dependent self employment,  marginal part time work in many parts of world, have heightened workers' concerns over employment security. Job loss is interlinked with financial stability, health security, educational backwardness, lack of human development which may cause severe life loss. Contemporary trend, you hardly find people continued career in one stream with one organization for lifetime. To avoid career tragedy, simply we need career setbacks to rejump from economic disaster.
         In sum, job security is an illusion. We need to constantly work on quality performance to get job attention and economic security. We need educational environment that much strong to nurture fullfledge capacity for today's & tomorrow's survival cost. For today, it is enough to understand that there is no angel for us to give job security at free of cost.

Migration crisis management

            The global economy crisis & global health crisis due to war or disaster creates problems of migrants which is responsible for the debate who will take their responsibility. In 2015, UN adopted a new framework for sustainable development based on the principle that no one should be left behind. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director, Christine lagarde said that No country can manage the refugee issue on their own. In 2005, the World Health Organization adopted the International Health Regulations. These guidelines talks about controlling spread of diseases, while minimizing the adverse effects of travel & trade restrictions.            The root question which arise in the fear of 'refugee as weapon', & 'caring migrants like waste of national resources' is, is there need of stopping complete migration? Can we ? Who will ? In such war or crisis or disaster period, everybody becomes possessive being family member & citizen

We may poor but not threatening security   

        The growing global gap between rich & poor is the main concern simultaneously with the focus on poverty alleviation . The 1994 Human Development Report (HDR) highlighted two major components of human security, first, freedom from fear & freedom from want. When both these freedom is threatened by system, cultural or traditional defects, natural or man made disasters, own survival failure, incompetence then poverty knocks your door. There are some types of poverty like situational,  generational, absolute, relative, urban & rural. Thus, there is multi dimensional poverty.           When you think poverty may breed insecurity you must be thinking how it is a complex nexus of transnational threats like large migration, environmental degradation, crime, proliferation for small arms, infectious diseases etc. But why don't you ever think that one day, even yours rich habits, rich lifestyles and business you build on keeping poor as poor will let others in darkness of

Use of geographical configurations

         Do we need integration of geographical knowledge to tackle stress ? The news that remaining geography paper of 10th ssc board exam get cancelled must be good news for students. Now, these students are free to take benefit of current corona lockdown. For most of the students, it was scoring subject. Geography is most important subject to study as a global citizen. We get to know how we all are dependent due to inequal distribution of natural resources, how our cultures, ideas & thoughts are shaped by region, how the relations  between  living things & non living are maintained, in short, evolution of physical environment  & society.             In this context, geographical studies have significant application in making health landscapes, disaster  management , security infrastructure, mental mapping, social environment etc. In current scenario of India, 'mapmyIndia maps' & 'move app' is helping  users to locate, view & reach testing labs
