Export Performance and Enterprise Reform in China's Coastal Provinces

Cost Effectiveness of Water Supply Technologies in Rural Indonesia
The supply of adequate safe water to households in rural Indonesia remains a problem despite considerable government effort. Causes include lack of funds, the administrative shortcomings of water supply authorities, and inadequate consultation with the communities involved. The choice of water supply technology is crucial, because the alternatives vary widely in cost and in the demands they place on the organisational and technical capacity of wa…

Labor Standards and War Production
M AXIMUM production for war cannot be achieved unless full consideration is given to the conditions under which the human factor in industry functions best. Sound labor standards were never more important than now if we are to maintain health and efficiency at a high level and to reduce to the lowest possible point time lost because of accidents, illness, strikes, and voluntary absenteeism. Flexibility in standards is needed, in order to overcome…

Social Security Here and Abroad
Unemployment and Relief
In 1929 the relief in 120 cities, totaling about 35 per cent of the population, was $43,000,000 In 1933 it was $447,000,000. One-eighth of all the families in the United States were on relief in 1933, involving an expenditure of nearly $800,000,000. The ineffective handling of relief has improved with time. For the future, relief should continue in close co-ordination with a broad social program to guard against the return of the sweatshop and to…
