The polarisation and intensification of parental employment in britain: Consequences for children,families and the community

On the basis of an analysis of UK parental employment between 1984 and 1994, using data from the Labour Force Survey, the authors identify three important trends: increasing integration of women with children, particularly with young children, into the labour market; increasing differentiation in mothers' employment opportunities and growing polarisation in household employment patterns; and an intensification of paid work amongst employed parents, contributing to a growing concentration of work–both paid and unpaid caring work–among women and men in the so-called 'prime working years' of 25 to 50 years. The article considers some possible consequences of these trends for children, families and communities, including the polarisation of children's childhoods, family incomes and neighbourhoods, the increasing workload on individual parents and families, tension between parents over the division of child care and domestic tasks and the issue of lime. The article concludes that the current UK focus on policies to support working parents in 'reconciling employment and family responsibilities' begs the question of how far these, and other activities, are reconcilable–and if they are, under what conditions, what cost and to whom–and may fail to address the difficult, threatening and 'wicked issues' at the heart of the work-family relationship.

Competing Frameworks in Planning for the Aged in the Growth Corridors of Melbourne

The Ageing in the Growth Corridors Project was initiated as a partnership between the University of Melbourne and the Department of Health in the Northwest Metropolitan Region of Melbourne, Australia. It involved a research team working with six project officers appointed to stimulate development in relation to an aging population in the sprawling outer metropolitan growth corridors. This article identifies the key lessons learned in terms of project implementation relating to attitudinal and structural barriers to the development of an age-friendly environment in areas of rapid urban growth. The findings illustrate some of the dilemmas raised by competing program conceptions, a dynamic and changing federal/state policy context, and local resource and strategic management constraints. The partnership with the university, nevertheless, provided a point of stability and continuity for the project officers in implementing their mandate.     

Community Development with Emerging Ethic Communities

With the approach of the twenty-first century, community professionals will find minority communities an emerging phenomenon of increasing importance. Professionals need to relate to these communities in new and creative ways. This paper builds on the analysis of Rivera and Erlich (1984), describing a number of recent events and changing conditions significant to minority communities. The importance of ethnic competence is discussed in terms of community practice. Finally, a proposal for a national and local strategy to improve practice and professional education is described.

There's more to the picture than meets the eye: Measuring tangible and intangible capital in two marginal communities in rural Denmark

A missing link in economics has been what Veblen in 1908 termed intangible capital. This includes common norms, trust and high levels of cooperative performance. Intangibles are invisible to the eye and not easily measured in quantitative terms. They nevertheless involve visible, socioeconomic outcomes and should therefore rightly be seen as productive, like tangibles. Thus, uneven levels of intangible capital would explain Differential Economic Performance (DEP) between, say, two firms containing exactly the same stock of physical, economic and human capital. Despite this common sense observation, most economists have failed to see that ‘there's more to the picture than meets the eye’, as Neil Young once sang. We use statistical, historical and fieldwork data from two Danish, marginal rural communities both rich on intangible capital. This to show how intangible capital in the form of social, organisational and cultural capital is accumulated and utilised in situ, at the microlevel. We suggest that the difference between these two, very similar communities should be explained in their varying ability to utilise local stocks of tangible and intangible capital. Drawing on seminal ideas from Bourdieu [The forms of capital. In: Richardson, J.G. (Ed.) Handbook of Theory and Research for the Sociology of Education. Greenwood Press, New York, Westport, CT and London, 1986, pp. 241–58] and the DORA project [Bryden, Differential economic performance in rural areas. In: International Conference on Rural Communities and Identities in the Global Millennium. Malpasino University College, Nainamo, BC, Canada, 2000], we want to develop a ‘total capital’ assessment tool for mapping and measuring socioeconomic development in marginal rural communities. In this way, we hope to count in ‘all’ capital as Schultz [Investment in human capital. In: Kiker, B.F. (Ed.) Investment in Human Capital. Columbia, 1971, pp. 3–21] prophesised. This in order to explain what we term Differential Local Development (DLD), where ‘good’, sustainable development is associated with high economic performance and increase in population.

闽南是我国著名的侨乡。闽南文化糅合了中原文化、本土文化和海外文化。闽南的发展历程决定海外移民必然是闽南文化形成中的重要影响因素。时至今日，华侨仍在闽南文化的传承上起着举足轻重的作用，而历久不衰的闽南文化也成为加强华侨对家乡的认同感的重要纽带。本文以2002年石圳村举行的“闽南李氏迎祖”活动为切入点，管窥闽南文化的重要组成单元——闽南侨乡家族文化与海外华侨之间的关系。     

活跃社区文化:建设城市和谐社区的基础和关键

社区文化建设是构建城市和谐社区的灵魂。活跃社区文化,促进社区文化建设,对于和谐社区的建构,具有基础性作用。如何促进它们的良性互动,既是一个重大的理论问题,又是一个紧迫的实践课题。活跃的、健康向上的、文明进步的社区文化是城市和谐的基础和关键,体现在实践的紧迫性上是如此,反映在理论的深刻性上也是如此。因此,全面推动社区文化建设,努力构建和谐社区,必须有时代的眼光和与时俱进的方法,有思路,有对策,有措施,在以下几个方面狠下工夫:要有正确的社区文化理念;要有健全和完善的文化运行机制;要有广泛和自觉的社区居民参与;要有充足的资金投入;要有丰富多彩的文化活动。     

政府规制与中国稀土产品出口增长的二元边际?--对2001-2012年微观贸易数据的实证分析

采用HS?6位数级微观贸易数据，计算2001—2012年中国稀土产品出口增长的二元边际，并进一步分析相对出口规制程度、相对产量与出口增长二元边际之间的相互影响，结果表明：中国稀土产品出口规制政策对稀土产品出口增长的集约边际和扩展边际都有促进作用，其中对集约边际的影响更大；而相对产量对二元边际有负面影响。在中国经济新常态下，随着稀土产品出口规制政策的逐步弱化，应加强对稀土产业的生产规制，提高产品附加值，实现从规模速度型粗放增长向质量效率型集约增长的转变；并积极开拓新的出口市场，促进稀土产业的良性扩张。
