Shelter Poverty: Housing Affordability Among Asian Americans, Michael E. Stone
Shelter Poverty: Housing Affordability Among Asian Americans, Michael E. Stone
Institute for Asian American Studies Publications
Relatively little research has been conducted that focuses on the housing situation of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (hereafter generally referred to as Asian Americans), especially on the national level. From a review of about 30 articles and reports over the past decade that examine racial/ethnic housing situations nationally, only one specifically addressed housing problems of Asian Americans (Hansen, 1986) while two others included Asian Americans along with other populations of color. Of the remaining articles, most used the terms race, racial discrimination, or segregation in their titles, yet did not include Asian Americans in the studies. Of particular note, …

Umass Chooses A Political Executive: The Politics Of A Presidential Search, Richard A. Hogarty
New England Journal of Public Policy
Horace Mann, the father of American public education, had served as president of the Massachusetts Senate prior to becoming the state's first secretary of education.

Despite their broadly similar political and economic systems, the rates and patterns of mothers' employment vary considerably across industrialized countries. This variation raises questions about the role played by government policies in enabling mothers to choose employment and, in turn, in shaping both gender equality and family economic well-being. This paper compares fourteen OECD countries, as of the middle-to-late 1980s, with respect to their provision of policies that support mothers' employment: parental leave, child care, and the scheduling of public education. Newly gathered data on eighteen policy indicators are presented; these indicators were chosen to capture support for maternal employment, …
