The Spanish Parliament claims Homemakers to recognized as real workers

The full European Parliament has demanded on Thursday that people who perform domestic services and home working as carers be recognized as "real" employees, with the recognition and protection that applies to any worker.

Official status for these employees would ensure access to benefits such as sick leave, vacation, pension contributions, as well as being a weapon against undeclared work and labor exploitation.

This has been declared MEPs in a resolution of the Spanish speakers who are Tania González (We can) and Greek Kostadinka Kuneva (Syriza) and has been adopted by the plenary meeting in Brussels.

The text claims the recognition and protection of domestic work as a profession through both national legislation and European.

Also it advocates that Member States adopt and fully implement the Convention 189 of the International Labour Organization, something they have done so far only 22 countries in the world.

According to data presented by the speakers, 88% of workers in the sector are women and one in three is excluded from the protection afforded by national labor legislation.

Among its recommendations, MEPs raise establish "easy to manage models" to frame the legal relationship between the employer and the worker, the image of systems that already exist in countries like Belgium and France.

Two Major Problems: Scarcity and Unlimited Wants Economic

Scarcity and Unlimited Wants:-

Man cannot get all that he wants. This is known as need. There is no finale to this need in human life. To give an example, you are a student. Let us assume, you have one thousand taka. You need shirt, pant and good shoes. In this manner you will find that you need many things. But you have only one thousand taka. Paralleled to your needs, the amount of money is very little. In economics, this is accepted as 'scarcity of resources'. Because of scarcity, man chooses or selects according to the significance. If there was no

need to choose, there would have been no need for the discipline, economics.

Scarcity and UnlimitedWants The main problem of humans is not to be able to get everything in proportion to the wants. To produce any goods (e.g.- books) or services (e.g.- medical services) resources are necessary. But "wealth is limited." It is, thereby, possible to get limited goods and limited services by the means of limited wealth. Therefore, with limited wealth, all the necessities of men are not fulfilled. This is the reason of scarcity. Scarcity would not have been created if there were lesser needs. 

Famous economist professor L. Robins says, "Economics is a science that analyses human behavior related to the combination of unlimited wants and alternatively usable scarce resources." According to economist Samuelson, since resources are scarce, therefore, the question of the best utilization of the resources in the society holds such importance. The want for resources obtained from the nature, like sunlight or wind is very high. But we do not have to spend any money to get these. Usually there is no scarcity for these resources. Since the wants of humans are too many and resources are limited, therefore, with these limited resources all the wants of humans are not satisfied. Amongst numerous wants, humans satisfy a few. And they fulfill these wants judging the importance of these wants. Humans satiate the most necessary wants on priority basis. This is known as selection of want.

The Development of Economics

The Romans are known very better as martial and successful state administrators. The Romans had primarily adopted the economic guidance of the Greeks as their own. In the Roman society, agriculture was considered as one very noble and honorable occupation. And the Roman philosophers believed  lending money at interest as a crime equal to that of murdering.  In ancient India, at 4th BC, the issues of politics, society, economics and martial factors have been cast light upon in Koutillya's 'Political Economy'. From the last part of the 16th century till the last part of the 18th century, (1590-1780), the expansion that occurred in international trade in England, France and Italy, that is termed as Mercantilism. With the target of increasing the wealth of the country, the power of the state and making of surplus in trade, the merchants of England exported more while imported very little. Goods produced in England were exported in different countries of the world in huge quantities and valuable metals/minerals (gold, silver, diamonds, etc) were imported. By the middle of the 18th century, the French took their stance against the luxurious lifestyle of the rich people of that country, excessive taxation, and the mercantilism of England and propagated the tenet of Physiocracy. In the opinion of the physiocrats, agriculture (along with mining and pisciculture) is the productive sector. On the other hand industry and trading were considered as non-productive sectors.

This way, during the ancient and middle ages, economics has been discussed in a scattered way. Economics received the recognition as a separate discipline when the British economist, Adam Smith in 1776, wrote his famous book, "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations". The basis of today's economics is this book of Smith.

The Origin Economics

Economics we learn was not so organized in previous times. The way of living of humans was greatly simpler in ancient societies. Food, clothing and habitation-these, only, were the elementary needs of humans. The methods of exchanging goods were very limited.  Basically, physical labor was the only means for production. During the period of the prophet Moses, that means, at around 2500 BC, in Hebrew civilization, in religious scriptures and in the books of philosophy, there have been some scattered thoughts about economics. Income, religion, morality, philosophy and economics were discussed all together at that time. There was no individual presence of economics as a discipline.

The basis of today's European civilization is constructed upon the thoughts of the Greek thinkers, Roman laws and the Christian religion. It was in Greece that Aristotle and other philosophers accepted the idea of individual ownership for the first time, and individual ownership upon land had been established. In the history of Greek civilization, Aristotle is taken to be the first economist. Special attention has been paid on the division of labor, business and the use of money. The Greek civilization is mainly a civilization based on city- states. Slavery was an recognized fact at that time. The populations of the cities were mainly traders and mechanics. The English word, economics, has come from the Greek word Okonimia. Okonomia means the Management of the Household. Plato (427-347 BC) and Aristotle (384-322 BC) were the two renowned scholars of the Greek civilization. These two thinkers have discussed about diverse central topics of economics, along with individual property, the wages of the laborers, slavery and interest.
