Disability Or Work: Handicap Policy Choices, Richard V. Burkhauser Feb 1992

Disability Or Work: Handicap Policy Choices, Richard V. Burkhauser

Center for Policy Research

Cross-national comparisons of disability programs and disabled populations show that the social environment workers with handicaps face can be as important as their health in affecting their movement into disability. In this context, Richard Burkhauser reviews American disability policy over the business cycles of the past two decades. He finds that strong economic recovery has, in general, overcome the sharp drop in the well-being of people with handicaps brought on by the recession and the reduction in program benefits in the early 1980s. However, the doubly handicapped, those with both health limitations and poor work skills, have not recovered.

Economic Summit Declarations, 1975-1989: Examining The Written Record Of International Cooperation, George M. Von Furstenberg, Joseph P. Daniels Feb 1992

Economic Summit Declarations, 1975-1989: Examining The Written Record Of International Cooperation, George M. Von Furstenberg, Joseph P. Daniels

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

This study audits commitments contained in economic declarations made following fifteen annual economic summit meetings of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Canada from 1975 to 1989. It concludes that country executives make commitments in good faith but that subsequent compliance is impeded domestically by lack of control over the instruments of implementation and internationally by the absence of specified supporting policies or acts of international coordination. In addition, the language used in the declarations necessarily reflects the exigencies of diplomacy and is therefore usually imprecise. Even though the credibility of summit undertakings is generally …

"Earth Summit": Un Spectacle With A Cast Of Thousands, Murray L. Weidenbaum Feb 1992

"Earth Summit": Un Spectacle With A Cast Of Thousands, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Under the guise of cleaning up the environment, the UN sponsored the first-ever "Earth Summit" in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. The conference, officially titled the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), was estimated to have been the largest conference ever held in the world at the time. UNCED's wide-ranging agenda obscures any real focus for the meeting, which attempted to synthesize economic and environmental globally. Given this unprecedented scope, much of the material leading up to the conference was hysterical, emotionalized, and unscientific in nature.

Earnings Losses Of Displaced Workers, Louis S. Jacobson, Robert J. Lalonde, Daniel G. Sullivan Feb 1992

Earnings Losses Of Displaced Workers, Louis S. Jacobson, Robert J. Lalonde, Daniel G. Sullivan

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

The 1990-1991 recession has intensified concerns about the consequences of workers' job losses. To estimate the magnitude and temporal pattern of displaced workers' earnings losses, we exploit an unusual administrative data set that includes both employees' quarterly earnings histories and information about their firms. We find that when high-tenure workers separate from distressed firms their long-term losses average 25 percent per year. Further, their losses mount even prior to separation, are not limited to workers in a few industrial sectors, and are substantial even for those who find new jobs in similar firms. This evidence suggests that displaced workers' earnings …

Are There Any Cultural Rights?, Chandran Kukathas

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

I shall advance the thesis that if there are any moral rights at all, it follows that there is at least one natural right, the equal right of all men to be free.
