  • Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA
    Baby Graves: Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA (Hons) Murd. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of Murdoch University (School of Social Sciences and Humanities), Perth, Western Australia, June, 2006 i I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... (Your name) ii Abstract The thesis examines the problem of infant mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865- 1908. In particular it investigates why Merthyr Tydfil, an iron, steel and coal producing town in south Wales, experienced high infant mortality rates throughout the nineteenth century which rose by the end of the century despite sixty years of public health reforms. The historiography of infant mortality in nineteenth-century Britain includes few Welsh studies although the south Wales Coalfield played an important part in industrial and demographic change in Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century. The thesis argues that conditions of industrial development shaped the social, economic and public health experience in Merthyr, ensnaring its citizens in social disadvantage, reflected in the largely unacknowledged human toll among mothers and babies in that process. The thesis analyses the causes of over 17, 000 infant deaths in Merthyr Tydfil from the primary evidence of an unusually complete series of Medical Officer of Health Reports to identify the principal attributed causes of infant death and explain their social origins and context. The thesis examines the work of Dr.

Wage bargaining in EU Member States After a brief overview of EU-level policy developments with a potential impact on national level pay determination, this report gives a comparative overview of the levels of collective wage setting and how they are set throughout Europe and goes on to report on reforms, changes or debates linked to these processes between the different actors at both the Member State and the European level in 2011 and 2012. This includes, for instance, debates on potential changes of indexation mechanisms in Belgium, Luxembourg and Cyprus, as a result of the Commission’s recommendations within the Euro Plus Pact. While in some countries (Estonia, Bulgaria) social partners resumed collective bargaining (either on wages or on minimum wages) and came to agreements, in other countries (Lithuania, Romania), no agreements could be reached. Some changes in the way collective bargaining is organised were recently introduced in Spain, Romania, Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

  • The Progressive Era Regulationist Institutional Structure
    THE PROGRESSIVE ERA REGULATIONIST INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE: A CASE STUDY OF THE AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Daniel Earl Saros, B.S.E., M.A. Martin H. Wolfson, Director Graduate Program in Economics Notre Dame, Indiana April 2004 © Copyright by Daniel Earl Saros 2004 All rights reserved THE PROGRESSIVE ERA REGULATIONIST INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE: A CASE STUDY OF THE AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY Abstract By Daniel Earl Saros This research examines the U.S. economy in the early twentieth century in an attempt to reconcile the contradictory coincidence of regulated industrial and labor conditions with the systematic destruction of organized labor in the iron and steel industry. A modified version of social structure of accumulation (SSA) analysis is employed to demonstrate how different periods in American history may be construed as being governed predominantly by free market or regulatory mechanisms. This framework draws heavily upon the recent attempts of radical political economists to generalize SSA theory using the notion of an institutional structure. The modified SSA framework is then used to explore the specific institutional structure of the progressive era in American history to reveal its regulated character and provide the historical background for the more detailed case study of the iron and steel industry. The industrial case study provides support for the hypothesis that regulated periods tend to increase the rates of profit, output growth, and capital accumulation relative to free market periods.

  • RCED-97-11 Public Housing: Partnerships Can Result in Cost
    United States General Accounting Office Report to the Chairman, Subcommittee GAO on Housing and Community Opportunity, Committee on Banking and Financial Services, House of Representatives October 1996 PUBLIC HOUSING Partnerships Can Result in Cost Savings and Other Benefits GOA years 1921 - 1996 GAO/RCED-97-11 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-274119 October 17, 1996 The Honorable Rick A. Lazio Chairman, Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity Committee on Banking and Financial Services House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congress is deliberating legislation aimed at giving the nation’s more than 3,300 public housing authorities (PHA) greater flexibility in managing their properties and in operating public and assisted housing for over 4 million households.1 If the legislation passes, this greater discretion is expected to strengthen the long-term viability of public and assisted housing and allow PHAs to operate their housing more in line with the needs of the local community. The added flexibility also will be important because other factors, such as increasing operating expenses for public housing and residents’ decreasing contributions toward their rent, are limiting the financial resources available to housing authorities to manage their properties effectively. Before the pending housing reform legislation was introduced, housing authorities recognized the limits on their financial resources and had begun establishing partnerships and other business-like arrangements with public and private sector groups to provide residents with needed services as well as supplement their traditional sources of funds. At your request, this report provides information that describes four types of arrangements that public housing authorities have established and provides the views of PHA officials on the benefits of these arrangements.

  • No on Prop 118: Paid Family Medical Leave Why Should Employees Care?
    No On Prop 118: Paid Family Medical Leave Why Should Employees Care? Colorado’s employers and business community care about its employees. Employers all across the state strive to provide their employees with good benefits and to remain competitive in the labor force. Employers across the state want to help their employees in times of need and when their loved-ones need them most. Business leaders are not opposed to the premise behind paid family medical leave…they are opposed to the devil that is in the details of Proposition 118. • The Cost o A $1.3B tax increase split between employers and employees. Based on the number of Coloradans using the richest program in the nation, the cost will increase. • Funding o Employees and employers split a new .90% income tax that will be deducted from the employees’ paycheck. o The new income tax will grow to 1.2% by year 3 of the program. o The new pollical appointee overseeing the program will increase this tax without another vote of the people. o This new tax equates to an approximate employee income tax increase of 20%. o Employers who give annual wage increases to employees will have to stretch their budgets to give pay increases and fund their portion of the newly mandated income tax. o Employees will pay the full income tax, but depending on wage level, may not be eligible for the full amount of the benefit based on the sliding wage scale established by the initiative. ▪ The program’s wage replacement ranges from 90% to 50% wage replacement based on the employee’s salary.
