Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981, the main thesis of this book is that rural labour markets are at the core of the problem of rural depopulation in development countries. Therefore, the success or failure of policies seeking to moderate the process of population decline is linked to the policy maker's ability to influence labour markets constructively. Migration in search of work has been a major cause of rural decline, and its reversal to bring about economically viable communities must be related to the availability of employment in rural areas. The authors argue that the emergence of socially viable communities is the highest aim in rural economic policy making. Economic viability is usually a necessary but not a sufficient condition for social survival. This examination of the problems of choosing appropriate policies for rural areas, though written by two applied economists, will also be of interest to geographers, planner and politicians interested or involved in local and central government in the UK, the USA and Australia.
Download or read book Building America s Skilled Technical Workforce written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skilled technical occupationsâ€"defined as occupations that require a high level of knowledge in a technical domain but do not require a bachelor's degree for entryâ€"are a key component of the U.S. economy. In response to globalization and advances in science and technology, American firms are demanding workers with greater proficiency in literacy and numeracy, as well as strong interpersonal, technical, and problem-solving skills. However, employer surveys and industry and government reports have raised concerns that the nation may not have an adequate supply of skilled technical workers to achieve its competitiveness and economic growth objectives. In response to the broader need for policy information and advice, Building America's Skilled Technical Workforce examines the coverage, effectiveness, flexibility, and coordination of the policies and various programs that prepare Americans for skilled technical jobs. This report provides action-oriented recommendations for improving the American system of technical education, training, and certification.
Download or read book Rural Industrialisation written by T. M. Dak and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 1989 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewed mainly as the growth of manufacturing sector as opposed to agriculture and the increased use of inanimate sources of power in the production of goods and services, rural industrialization offers the greatest scope for absorbing the existing and growing labour force outside the field of agriculture. However, rural industrial scene continues to be characterised by the concentration of labour force in agriculture, predominance of traditional crafts, low levels of technology, hereditary mode of production, poor productivity and returns and low labour efficiency and utilisation. Besides glorification of traditional crafts and self-employment, caste-industry nexus, and above all policy bias in favour of agriculture as against industry and large and medium capital-intensive industries as against small village and cottage industries also worked as strong impediments to the development of rural crafts. Drawing from the nationwide experiences, this book examines the problems of the growth and modernisation of rural industries from socio-economic perspectives and probes into the organisational and technology system underlying their production structure with all its implications an ramifications. The reversal of the policy favouring large modern industry sector and the spread of tiny small industries throughout the country with full package of organisational, technical, financial and marketing support in adequate measure have been strongly advocated. In addition, the integration of the development of rural industries with the overall programme of industrialisation was emphasized.

Download or read book Territorial Indicators of Employment written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and published by OECD. This book was released on 1996 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, compiled with the assistance of Statistics Canada, shows that agriculture is no longer the dominant sector providing employment for rural populations in OECD countries. Today, in all member nations, the vast majority of rural employment opportunities are in non-agricultural activities. Even in the predominantly rural regions, less than a quarter of the total employment is in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. At least every second job is in the service sector, and in some countries, the proportion is even higher. Employment growth in the predominantly rural regions has been primarily, if not exclusively, due to substantial increases in service sector employment. Between 1980 and 1990, employment in this sector grew 15% to 25% in those regions. In most countries, this was often better than the national average in developing new employment opportunities. In many countries, such as Canada and Norway, a significant number of rural regions did better than the national average in developing new employment opportunities. So, being rural is not a handicap to job creation. On the contrary, some rural regions are the most innovative and dynamic elements of a country.

Download or read book Non Agricultural Employment in India written by Pravin Visaria and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1995-01-31 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The cumulative contribution of . . . the papers is enormous. clearly the thrust of the publication is most appropriate at this time when workers laboring on family farms in low- and middle-income countries account for 40% of the work labor force. Exploring options for those openly unemployed or underemployed is indeed a worthy cause. This publication is a gold mine for scholars and policymakers alike inasmuch as it offers a variety of testable hypotheses." --Balbir S. Sahni in Pacific Affairs "Though a volume based on a seminar is conditioned by the papers presented by the participants, this book is an exception in that the editors have done a laudable job. . . . Every paper reveals a high quality of research. A perusal of the book will show that Indian economists are as good as their counterparts elsewhere." --The Hindu "This book will be of use to all those interested in employment in the rural non-agricultural sector." --Asian Economic Review "This publication is a gold mine for scholars and policy makers alike in as much as it offers a variety of testable hypotheses." --Pacific Affairs "The book provides useful material for policy makers and researchers. It is welcome addition to the existing literature on rural non-agricultural employment." --Review of Development and Change A dynamic nonagricultural sector in rural areas is increasingly being seen as a major source for generating employment in India. It is also considered to be an avenue for decentralized industrial development which can reduce the burden on the over-stretched urban infrastructure. This volume is a timely empirical contribution to our understanding of this process of economic diversification in rural India. Taking into account all the available evidence, it constitutes the first extensive and up-to-date analysis of the nature, trends, and determinants of rural non-agricultural employment in India. Further, it examines the inter- and intra-state variations in the levels of such activity and reviews the methodological issues involved in studying economic diversification at various levels of spacial disaggregation. Appearing at a time when India is in the process of reevaluating and altering its development strategies, this book will be invaluable for policy makers and social scientists interested in issues relating to employment, development strategies, and economic diversification.

Finally, some guideposts are identified for assessing strategies to reduce rural poverty.
