On behalf of the Allied States of Xianoshi, I present to the assembly the following proposal:

Corporate Employment Benefits
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Xianoshi
Description:
In an effort to stem unemployment, spur economic development and corporate-sponsored career development, this proposal institutes a customizable system of tax benefits and breaks for corporations based on the quantity and quality of their employee roster.

In the scales are weighed the number of sheer employees, the training provided to the employees free of cost, and the career path development given to employees.

Corporations that not only employ more citizens, but train and develop them are rewarded.

Each country may institute its own balances and measures for rewarding companies. Emphasis on quantity and quality can be customized. As a strong suggestion, UN members are encouraged to deploy some sort of Employment Roster Benefits.

By rewarding the "quantity" of the employment roster of a business, you are not helping the employees.

A business which pays fifty employees a decent wage would be encouraged to slash this wage in half and hire fifty more employees.

The amount of employees a business has does not reflect on how much they contribute to a nation -- it only reflects how large the corporation is and how much market power it has.

Aye, I agree most honorable delegate, but please also note that individual countries may adjust the balances of quantity and quality. It would be assumed, and agreeably logical, that countries would emphasize quality of employment and training and career development over sheer quantity.

Furthermore, by offering incentives for expansion of the employment roster, we are offering what is in fact incentive for growth in business and industrial capability.

And it would be a most unwise decision to double the amount of jobs but half the rate, for what company could operate with such underpaid, undertrained and low-quality workers?

I beg the pardon of the assembly but I do not understand the previous germane comment to the topic?

If we may bolster our argument more, I the delegate from the Allied States of Xianoshi would offer the following: the potential boom in the training, continuing education and re-education industries would be just another sector of the private/public business sector positively affected by our bill.

Considering the lack of truly benificent proposals with a real chance of reaching quorum, I implore the most honorable and respected delegates of the UN to throw support behind the proposal presented by the Allied States of Xianoshi: Corporate Employment Benefits.

With its quorum deadline approaching, I urge all states who hold a strong economy, low unemployment, competative corporations and a richly education work force to approve of Corporate Employment Benefits and bring its significant economic impact to the open UN floor!
