Question

which of these policies would a government take when it comes to employment?
paying government employee when they choose to not work
seeing that at least a quarter the workforce has a job
working toward making unemployment is as low as possible
making sure that only skilled workers get jobs

Explanation:

• Option A: Paying government employees for not working is not a standard employment policy as it doesn't promote employment or economic efficiency.
• Option B: Aiming for "at least a quarter the workforce has a job" is not a typical government employment policy goal; most governments aim for much higher employment rates (e.g., low unemployment) rather than a specific low percentage.
• Option C: Reducing unemployment as much as possible is a core government employment policy goal, as low unemployment is associated with economic stability, growth, and social welfare.
• Option D: Ensuring only skilled workers get jobs is discriminatory and against inclusive employment policies; governments typically aim to create jobs for all segments of the workforce (skilled, unskilled, etc.) and also provide training to help unskilled workers become skilled.

Answer:

C. working toward making unemployment is as low as possible
