The notion of increase can refer to an increase.
An increase is an expression that refers to the increase, enlargement or amplification of something . The term comes from the Latin word augmentum .
For example: “The union requested a 25% increase in salaries,” “Consumers expressed their complaints about the increase in the electricity service rate,” “The actress underwent breast augmentation surgery.”
Increases in the economy
The concept is common in the field of economics regarding an increase in a value, a figure or an index .
A salary increase, to cite one case, implies that a person begins to receive greater remuneration for their work. If an employee who earns 1,000 pesos per month gets a 10% increase, once the increase is applied he will earn 1,100 pesos per month .
An increase can be an amplification.
The salary improvement
Getting a salary increase may seem like the fundamental objective of any employee, but in reality only a moderate percentage focuses on this objective while the rest adapt to the initial conditions and face their activities with no expectations other than not being left without a job. .
In each area and in each company, the salary evaluation and adjustment system may be different; Furthermore, in some cases it is the employees themselves who request the increase from their superiors. Broadly speaking, we can say that some of the keys to achieving this are good behavior, responsibility, good treatment of others and initiative . Employers often spontaneously increase salaries for people with potential, in reference to both their skills and disposition.
Increase in unemployment rate
The unemployment rate (also called unemployment or unemployment rate) is an index that can increase or decrease. An increase in this rate means that the number of individuals who are unemployed has grown, something that represents a social problem.
Combating the unemployment rate is an effort that the government must make through various channels and with a vision for the future . The most developed countries manage to overcome the worst situations, while those at the other extreme often make poor decisions, which simply allow them to have some time of calm.
One of the tactics that manage to increase the employment rate , the opposite concept of the previous one, consists of the creation of new opportunities, either through the incorporation of foreign companies in the country or plans that require massive levels of labor. To cite an example, the hosting of the Olympic Games can be an ideal opportunity for the creation of thousands of jobs, especially if construction work needs to be carried out that transforms part of the city, something that happened in London in 2012 .
Other uses of the term
We also talk about magnification with reference to the enlargement of an image that is achieved through a lens or by means of a zoom (zoom). Glasses are said to have magnification when their lenses help you see larger and more clearly objects.
The idea of augmentation, finally, appears in those surgical interventions that seek to enlarge the size of a part of the body for aesthetic purposes. Breast augmentation , lip augmentation , and cheekbone augmentation surgeries are among the most popular.
Although in the past surgeries to increase the size of some part of the body cost a lot of money, nowadays they are no longer unattainable luxuries. Therefore, they were no longer reserved only for the rich and famous. It is important to highlight that there are numerous stories of interventions that have gone wrong, and that have left unfortunate deformations in the patients' bodies, or have even led to complications such as infections.
