Women In The Labour Force
.... and the care of their only child.
An observation of labour force participation rates in Canada show that
female rates rose a lot between 1971 and 1981, while the male rate rose
unnoticeably. The increase in the female participation rate was found in
all age groups except in older women. For women aged 15 to 19 the rate was
as almost as high as the men. But the largest increase was in the age
group of 25-44 years old, where the rate rose almost 50 percent. This
meant that the participation rates of the females had become more alike
with the men.
Family status also influenced the female participation rate .....

The Exchequer board was the highest office that could be obtained in the
royal circle and was the most powerful and prestigious as it presided over all
financial matters. It allowed records to be formed and general standards to be
maintained. The ultimate power of the exchequer is aptly put in the text..."

The Exchequer had a greater role than just recording revenue as it

introduced in a very original way. The author uses a literal journey into the
past as a means of comparing it to the present. One of the many points is an in
depth definition of history related profession. What are they trying to
accomplish and how they work to get what they are looking for. "Professional
historians spend their lives pursuing the meaning of the past for the present."
Historians study facts and records that previous generations have left, to find
out what kind of lives they led and how they solved their problems.

What The United States Can Learn From Japan

these new industries. Following World War II Japanese industries used this same
strategic industrial policy to develop the high-tech, steel, and car industries
that Japan is known for today. Some American industries are currently heavily
supported by the government through subsidies and tax breaks to farmers, steel
producers, and other industries that have been hurt by foreign competition
because they are predominantly low-tech industries. But this economic policy of
the U.S. is almost a complete reversal of the economic policies of Japan and the
Four Little Tigers; instead of fostering new businesses and high tech ind .....

made iron ore into stoves and pots.
The second critical underpinning of the first industrial revolution was
the development of a home market in Britain. The first British industrialists
manufactured textiles; specifically cotton for the home market. The growth of
the home market in Britain promoted industrialization in several ways. First, it
was a steady market which able to cushion the export market which was very
dynamic and had sudden fluctuations. This allowed a steady rate of growth even
when exports fell. Second, the home market started the process of u .....

The Particular Features Of The Employment System In Japan

more seniority and thus make more money then the average worker. Japanese
companies also are able to cut costs during recessions by reducing or
eliminating bonuses paid to workers, cutting down on hiring of new workers,
eliminating the farming out of work to subcontractors, transferring workers
internally with in the company to subsidiaries, and reducing profit margins to
levels that many American companies would find intolerable.
Japanese companies response to recessions shows the benefits and
disadvantages of their employment system. Some of the benefits are that .....

Deficit Spending

of the early 1980s reduced revenues, raising the deficit and forcing the
Government to spend much more on paying interest for the national debt at a time
when interest rates were high. As a result, the national debt grew in size after
1980. It grew from $709 billion to $3.6 trillion in 1990, only one decade later.

Harley - Davidson Inc. Motorcycle Industry
.... were viewed as a cheap means
of transportation. By 1992, they came to be viewed as a recreational, or a
luxury item. This new perception of motorcycles led to the introduction of more
expensive models with higher prices. This led to the introduction of consumer
financing, one of the fastest growing service areas in the motorcycle industry.
MISSION
Harley's strategic objective is to continue to provide safe, high
technology heavyweight bikes and keep customer satisfaction at high levels. This

The first mitigating factor involved in the Company X case is the
uncertainty, on the part of the employees, on their duties that they were
assigned. It is possible that during the testing procedure, an employee
couldn't distinguish between the parts they were to test under government
standards and commercial standards. In some cases they might have even been
misinformed on the final product that they tested. In fact, ignorance on the
part of the employees would fully excuse them from any moral responsibility for
any damage that may .....

Investing In The Future
.... I did in high school. The summer after my junior year
I took a trip to San Antonio with about twenty other students. We were divided
between two different projects, and I went to work in a summer day-care program
in an underprivileged area. The day-care was for children aged infant to
eighteen, and on an average day about 175 children would come through. They
only had two full time workers, and relied on volunteer groups that came through
about once or twice a month to help them. They used to have more workers, but
lacked the funding necessary to keep anyone on permanently. Many of the
children were dropped off before .....

trends are good or bad for society. “The danger of the information age is that
while in the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in
the long run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be
enough purchasing power to grow the economy,” M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is
that the trend from unskilled labor to highly technical, skilled labor is a good
one! But, political action must be taken to ensure that this societal evolution
is beneficial to all of us. “Back in 1970, a high school diploma could still be
a ticket to the middle income bracket, a nice car in .....

The Relationships Between Quaker, The Company, And Semiotics

not just a word, it means many, many things, which is where the signified comes
in. The actual building is huge, which gave me the feeling that they are a
successful company and that their product must be all over the world. The
building is also white brick. This, without even knowing it gives you a feeling
of safety and purity(just as their products should be). Then there is the fact
that it is situated on the top of a hill, when you put meaning to this, there is
the feeling of greatness and domination. In my opinion these meanings or
