They recommended that complementary policies are necessary to ensure economic growths positive impact on LDC employment. With trade, industry and investment, they only found limited evidence of positive impact on employment from industrial and investment policies and for others, while large bodies of evidence does exist, the exact impact remains contested.Researchers have also explored the relationship between employment and illicit activities. Using evidence from Africa, a research team found that a program for Liberian ex-fighters reduced work hours on illicit activities. The employment program also reduced interest in mercenary work in nearby wars. The study concludes that while the use of capital inputs or cash payments for peaceful work created a reduction in illicit activities, the impact of training alone is rather low.

The balance of economic efficiency and social equity is the ultimate debate in the field of employment relations. By meeting the needs of the employer; generating profits to establish and maintain economic efficiency; whilst maintaining a balance with the employee and creating social equity that benefits the worker so that he/she can fund and enjoy healthy living; proves to be a continuous revolving issue in westernized societies.Globalization has affected these issues by creating certain economic factors that disallow or allow various employment issues. Economist Edward Lee (1996) studies the effects of globalization and summarizes the four major points of concern that affect employment relations:

International competition, from the newly industrialized countries, will cause unemployment growth and increased wage disparity for unskilled workers in industrialized countries.
Ectasia (), also called ectasis (), is dilation or distention of a tubular structure, either normal or pathophysiologic but usually the latter (except in atelectasis, where absence of ectasis is the problem). Specific conditions
Bronchiectasis, chronic dilatation of the bronchi
Duct ectasia of breast, a dilated milk duct. Duct ectasia syndrome is a synonym for nonpuerperal (unrelated to pregnancy and breastfeeding) mastitis. Dural ectasia, dilation of the dural sac surrounding the spinal cord, usually in the very low back. Pyelectasis, dilation of a part of the kidney, most frequently seen in prenatal ultrasounds. It usually resolves on its own. Rete tubular ectasia, dilation of tubular structures in the testicles. It is usually found in older men. Acral arteriolar ectasia
Corneal ectasia (secondary keratoconus), a bulging of the cornea.Vascular ectasiasMost broadly, any abnormal dilatation of a blood vessel, including aneurysms
Annuloaortic ectasia, dilation of the aorta. It can be associated with Marfan syndrome. Dolichoectasias, weakening of arteries, usually caused by high blood pressure. Intracranial dolichoectasias, dilation of arteries inside the head. Gastric antral vascular ectasia, dilation of small blood vessels in the last part of the stomach. Telangiectasias are small dilated blood vessels found anywhere on the body, but commonly seen on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. Venous ectasia, dilation of veins or venules, such as:
