Close scrutiny of a recently published government report suggests not that Britain needs more graduates to prosper but that the country first needs to prosper before it can use the graduates it…

In a Canadian survey of informal learning (n=1,562) and a follow-up (n=328), unpaid work, informal learning, and job-related learning were extensive. Despite considerable underemployment, respondents still pursued learning that prepared them for work. (Contains 29 references.) (SK)

In the last 5 years, almost 1.5 million immigrants of German origin have come to Germany. They consider their immigration a return to their homeland.

Annually collected Census Bureau facts, the basis of much of the analysis…

Recent redesigning of manpower programs reflects the shift toward the job and income approach to fighting poverty.

This report was prepared to supply community development personnel and…
