Ethnic Disparities in Access to Mental Health Services for Black and Asian Migrants in Major Resettlement Countries
Microfinance Interest Rates and Client Returns
The interest rates of microfinance institutions (MFIs) are widely criticized, although they are lower than those of many short-term lenders in 'developed' countries. The criticisms are not usually related to the returns on micro-investments. Little data is available, but earnings from farming seem generally to be below or little above the interest charged for microcredit. Returns from petty trade, a more frequent use of such credit, are well over…

Ex‐Offenders and Enterprise
This paper reports on an exploratory study which has investigated the potential which offenders may have for entrepreneurial activities. The research found that prisoners appear to be more entrepreneurial than other occupational groups, although probationers are not. The study suggests that a high proportion of both groups of offenders had worked in their own businesses in the past, and as such may benefit from specialist small business training …

Assumes acceptance of the argument that, as the world has become a mere village owing to modern communications systems, trading patterns and the like, it is no longer possible for any individual, community or state to seek to pull down the blinds and ignore what is happening in other parts of the world. This is not merely an ethical issue – although believes that the morality of caring is much in need of an uplift, both in British society and els…
Ex‐offenders and Enterprise
Offenders are by their nature potentially greater risk‐takers than the general population, as are entrepreneurs. For this and reasons such as difficulty in finding employment, many offenders are likely to work in their own businesses. The provision of training in running a small business or self‐employment can improve the chances of success. Offenders, as a group of people with special needs, may benefit from the provision of this type of trainin…

The employment of finance in small business
Small‐scale businessmen everywhere, and particularly in developing countries, believe that their most pressing problem, if not their only one, is lack of finance. Organisations devoted to the promotion of small business have come to believe that finance must be accompanied by management advice. It is suggested that such advice should in fact precede any consideration of financial assistance; this will not only improve the chances of effective use…

Sugar and Maize Meal: Cases in inappropriate technology from Kenya
Industrialisation in Africa and elsewhere has been beset with problems, many of which relate to the selection of 'inappropriate technology', or processes which are far from optimal in their use of labour and capital in the context of developing economy. Many products have no alternative methods of manufacture because they have been created in an industrialised economy, and the only existing technology reflects the skill, labour, and capital const…
