The Work-Family Needs Of Single Parents: A Comparison Of American And Swedish Policy Trends, Lena Lundgren-Gaveras

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper compares recent policy trends affecting the work-family needs of women heading households, a population that has increased dramatically in both America and Sweden. Unlike existing American policy debates that largely discuss single mothers as a public welfare dependent population, this paper addresses female-headed householders as high-level users of policies and programs aimed at integrating work life and family life.

Most cross-national research and policy debate efforts argue that Swedish policy, in stark contrast to American policy, promote women combining employment with parenting responsibilities. This study argues that policy developments directly targeted to enhance an employee's ability to combine …

The Influence Of The United States Court Of Appeals For The District Of Columbia Circuit On Broadcast Indecency Policy, Jeremy Harris Lipschultz

Communication Faculty Publications

The "politics" of broadcast regulation -namely, the influence of various political players -can be clearly seen in the case of broadcast indecency policy. While the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission), Congress, the White House, the United States Supreme Court, citizens groups and industry lobbyists have played a part in the unfolding drama, this article asserts that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) has played the most important role in the evolution of broadcast indecency policy. The purpose of this article, then, is to explore the rulings of the D.C. Circuit …

Graduate Students' Perceptions Of Formative Faculty Characteristics: A Look At What Facilitates Integrative Development In A Christian Psychology Program, Kimberly Rene Derflinger

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Little has been done to assess how students learn integration except by grading them on how well they memorize and echo back their professors' views. The present study sought to ask students what they find helpful from professors, rather than presuming that faculty already know what is best. Following the research protocol of Sorenson (1995), the present study measured graduate students' perceptions of what faculty characteristics are helpful in their integrative pursuit at George Fox College's Graduate School of Clinical Psychology. This research sought to (a) determine if students at George Fox College employ particular latent dimensions for evaluating faculty …

Cho Tae-Hyon: "Foreign Direct Investment In Korea: Recent Trends And Changes To Improve The Investment Environment", Korea Exchange Bank Quarterly, First Quarter, 1995, Vol. Xxx, No. 1, N. C. Oputa

Economic and Financial Review

Korea opened its doors to foreign investors in 1962 to raise capital for economic development. As at end-1994, the total accumulated volume of Korea's Foreign Direct Investment (FOI) on an approved basis amounted to US $12,525 million financing 4,709 projects. The conclusion of the Uruguay round and the establishment of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) which linked the global economy to free flows of trade and investment, are new challenges facing Korea in the search for ways to cope with the emerging era of unlimited competition. Tae-Hyon's paper attempts to review the trends in FDI and the recent incentives to …
