Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1979, I wrote to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation seeking sup port for the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies to embark on a policy oriented program in vocational education. The reason for the request, which was generously granted by the foundation, was stated as follows: The federal program on vocational education dates from World War I. Impor tant changes were made in later legislation in 1963 and 1976, affecting the pro grams conducted by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The recently enacted Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) of the Department of Labor has brought large federal support to efforts to reduce unemployment, especially for youth, by providing preparatory training. It may be an understatement to report that the programs of these two government departments have lacked adequate coordination in Washington or in the field. Certainly there is a long way to go in improving both policy and program, and an opportunity presents itself in preparing the policies to be proposed to the Con gress when the vocational education program next comes up for reconsideration in 1980 and 1981. Responsibility for preparing the administration's position and recom mendations lies with the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation of HEW, Michael O'Keefe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on two unique Statistics Canada surveys, the 1981 Work History Survey and the 1986 Labour Market Activity Survey, this study reports on changes in the distribution of jobs by hourly wage rate between 1981 and 1986. The results show some increased concentration of jobs in two segments of the wage distribution - the bottom and the upper middle. Changes in the structure of employment (the growth in jobs in service industries and a changing occupational mix) account for some of these changing wage patterns. However, even though the restructuring of jobs among industries and occupations was substantial over the period, most of the change in the wage distribution is left unexplained after accounting for this phenomenon. The overall change is more related to changes in the wage distribution within industries and occupations. Much of the observed shifts in the overall wage distribution are related to an economy-wide decline in relative wages paid to young workers, and to a lesser extent, an increase in the relative wages of older workers. The job opportunities available to young workers in 1986 were much more concentrated at the very bottom of the wage distribution than was the case in 1981. Wages among the young displayed flexibility over this period, coinciding with a declining unemployment rate during 1984-86. Possible reasons for the decline in the relative earnings of the young are discussed, including labour market "crowding" due to the large cohort of young workers, the lingering effect of the recession on the demand for labour in entry level jobs, and other changes occurring in the youth labour market. A regional analysis of the changing wage distributions is also included.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers published in this book were presented and dis cussed on occasion of the celebration of Albert Kervyn de Lettenhove's retirement on 29-30 May 1986. This conference was made feasible through the participation of a large au dience and the generous financial support of the Commission of the European Communities. The sessions were organised under three topics, as are the papers in this book. The first session, chaired by Massimo Russo, Director-General, Commission ofthe European Com munities was devoted to an evaluation of past and current debates of central macro-economic problems, those of growth and business cycle stabilization. The second session, chaired by Jean Godeaux, Governor of Belgium's National Bank, looked at innovations in the conduct of monetary pol icy and the opportunities offered and problems associated with innovations in fiancial markets. The last session, chaired by Baron Michel Woitrin, formerly Professor of Eco nomics and Head Administrator of the Universite Catholi que de Louvain, contains several empirical analyses and pol icy proposals. I 30 years ago growth theory was a very promising research field, at the center of macroeconomics and macroeconomics was at the center of economics. Robert Solow -one of the major contributors to growth theory -reexamines the perti nence of that body of theory to problems of our times. A. Steinherr and D.
