The Impact Of Nontraditional Training On The Occupational Attainment Of Women, Michael Seeborg, Irmtraud Streker-Seeborg, Abera Zegeye Dec 1983

The Impact Of Nontraditional Training On The Occupational Attainment Of Women, Michael Seeborg, Irmtraud Streker-Seeborg, Abera Zegeye

Michael Seeborg

In this paper we examine the effect of nontraditional training on the occupational attainment of economically disadvantaged women. Using a logit model of occupational attainment, we found that women who received nontraditional training under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) were much less likely than their male counterparts to be employed in male-dominated occupations, and also received somewhat lower hourly wages. These results suggest that nontraditional training alone may not be an effective way of reducing the occupational segregation of low-income women.

The Free-Fare Transit Experiment, A. Studenmund, D Connor Dec 1981

The Free-Fare Transit Experiment, A. Studenmund, D Connor

A. H. Studenmund

This paper summarizes and evaluates the results of experiments which consisted of the elimination of bus fares in off-peak in the cities of Trenton, New Jersey and Denver, Colorado. Because the data in Denver had significant weaknesses, the specific figures cited herein are for Trenton (more accurately, Mercer County, New Jersey); the results of the two experiments were essentially identical, however, so the conclusions drawn are made in a more general context. The evaluation found that the net ridership increase during the demonstration was on the order of 15% (about 45% during the off-peak periods). This included the combined effects …

A Socioeconomic Analysis Of Schooling In Ethiopia, Asayehgn Desta Dec 1981

A Socioeconomic Analysis Of Schooling In Ethiopia, Asayehgn Desta

Asayehgn Desta

Purpose is to trace historically how changes in the Ethiopian educational system correspond to changes in the socioeconomic structure. The first section of this paper surveys the themes of correspondence and contradiction. Section two discusses major changes in Ethiopian socioeconomic structure from 1900. Section three presents changes in the educational system which correspond to those changes in the socio-economic structure. Section four examines the major socioeconomic changes of the fascist occupation period (1935-1941) and includes a brief discussion of the fascist educational policy. Section five presents the major socioeconomic changes during the post-independence period (1941-1947), followed by a discussion of …

The Viability Of African Socialism As A Strategy For Development, Asayehgn Desta Dec 1978

The Viability Of African Socialism As A Strategy For Development, Asayehgn Desta

Asayehgn Desta

Many Africanists have shown serious concern about African socialism and have challenged African socialism, as a concept, from both theoretical and practical point of view. This study argues that most of the criticisms raised against African socialism are out of context and ahistorical. A careful analysis and the steps taken by socialist African states clearly signifies that African socialism is an identifiable body of thought and an appropriate course of action for African countries to follow in order to embark on socialist transformation.

Interim Analysis Of The Free-Fair Transit Experiments, A. Studenmund, S. Swan, D. Connor Dec 1978

Interim Analysis Of The Free-Fair Transit Experiments, A. Studenmund, S. Swan, D. Connor

A. H. Studenmund

This paper summarizes the early results of the two systemwide off-peak free-fare transit experiments being conducted in Trenton, New Jersey, and Denver, Colorado. These experiments, which are sponsored by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) under its Service and Methods Demonstration Program, are the first free-fare programs of such size and comprehensiveness. The demonstrations have already provided a number of interesting, if still tentative, conclusions. The first major conclusion is that, while free fare induces large and sustainable ridership gains (19 percent in Trenton and 34 percent in Denver), the general aggregate behavior of the population in making their modal …
