Explaining nursing turnover intent
A number of models have been developed to explain nurses' turnover behavior. The common theme that emerges from these models is that turnover behavior is a multistage process that includes attitudinal, decisional, and behavioral components. The purpose of this study was to assess both the direct and indirect impact of certain pay policies upon the turnover intentions of paediatric nurses. The two major questions addressed were: What was the relat…
Combatting Unemployment through Work Time Reductions
Sharing the Work
UI-Assisted Worksharing as an Alternative to Layoffs
This study describes and analyzes an experimental program established in Canada in 1977 under which layoffs were avoided in twenty-four firms by reducing the hours worked of all employees and taking advantage of a temporary modification of unemployment insurance legislation that allowed workers to receive UI benefits for the day or so each week that they no longer worked. Employees generally favored the plan because, in the typical case of a 20 p…
The Impact of Demographic Changes on Unemployment
Unemployment and Inflation
During the decade of the 1970s the Canadian economy was characterized by substantially higher rates of both inflation and unemployment than during the 1960s. This paper reviews some important research in recent years in an attempt to explain this occurrence and draws implications for policy formulation in the 1980s. The predominant view during the 1960s was that an inverse relationship exists between inflation and unemployment, i.e. periods of hi…
Unemployment Insurance
Causes of Shifts in the Unemployment-Vacancy Relationship
A well-established feature of the labor market is that an inverse relation exists between the unemployment rate (u) and the vacancy rate (v). Hansen (1970) provides a clear exposition of the theoretical model that implies that the u-v relation will be negatively sloped and convex to the origin. The usefulness of the relation is that it provides a means of distinguishing between changes in deficient demand unemployment (indicated by movements alon…
Canadian Wage and Price Controls
The fundamental cause of inflation is the money supply growing at a faster rate than real output. As a result of the increase in inflationary expectations, however, simply decreasing the rate of growth of the money supply is not an attractive policy for reducing inflation - the cost may be several years of intolerably high unemployment. Wage and price controls may have a beneficial effect on expectations through their effect on actual rates of in…
Socialist Sunday Schools in Britain, 1892-1939
Recent interest in the social conditions which underlay the emergence in Britain of independent labour politics in the last decade of the nineteenth century has thrown a good deal of light on the Labour Church movement. Dr. E. J. Hobsbawm, in a characteristically stimulating chapter of his Primitive Rebels , set the Labour Churches within the context of the "labour sects" which he isolates as a phenomenon of nineteenth century Britain and defines…
