Robert Hart in China
As Inspector General of the Maritime Customs Service, Robert Hart (1835-1911), born in County Armagh in Ireland, was a chief fiscal administrator of the Chinese Empire. Hart was a British citizen, yet he was employed by the Chinese government and was responsible for hundreds of Western (mostly British) and thousands of Chinese employees. His ability to straddle cultures has been noted by the historians Bruner, Fairbank and Smith who refer to a tr…
Education, Social Integration and Minority-majority Group Intermarriage
This article challenges the well-established finding that persons with higher levels of education are more likely to marry outside their own ethnic group. The empirical research upon which that finding is based has been dominated by studies of groups of either immigrant or low socio-economic status. We revisit the question by examining census of population data on two minorities - Protestants in the Republic of Ireland and the Swedish-speaking Fi…

Modernization and religious intermarriage in the Republic of Ireland
There are strong theoretical reasons for hypothesizing that those sections of the population who are most exposed to modernization processes are more likely to marry outside their own religious group. We examine this for Catholic-Protestant intermarriage in the Republic of Ireland. We use a multivariate analysis on survey data to test the hypotheses that urban dwellers, persons of non-farming parents, persons with higher levels of education and t…

Female Workers on Long‐term Sickness Benefit in the Republic of Ireland
This article investigates the extent to which the entry of female workers into long‐term receipt of sickness benefit is related not only to their health status but also to the experience of women in the labour market. It is argued that specific categories of female workers–women with children, women who enter sickness benefit from maternity or unemployment benefit or who live in areas of high female unemployment–have an incentive to remain on sic…
Returns to Education
In examining labour-market returns to educational performance it is necessary to understand the way in which those actors who govern access to such returns—namely employers—perceive and utilize measures of performance. We argue that this will be responsive to institutional features of the educational system and the labour market and the relationship between them. We illustrate our case through an examination of the way in which Irish employers ma…
