Some Effects of Ph.D. Training on the Academic Labour Markets of Australian and British Universities

Davis, Denis J.

Higher Education, 4, 1, 67-78, Feb 76

The conclusion is that forces causing the Ph.D. displacement of labour in the university academic labour market should be constrained. (Editor/JT)
