Reflecting on India’s Development
Author: NILERD
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811314144
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
The book assesses the development experience by reflecting on a number of aspects, such as growth in relation to employment, regional imbalances and rural–urban distribution. Further, it examines educational attainment and human capital formation issues in the context of the skill shortages the country is facing, and analyses social inequality, including gender, and evaluates a number of empowerment strategies. Lastly, it critically assesses the effectiveness of health services by examining case studies of on-going sanitation, family planning and reproductive health programmes. Presenting both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the papers utilise rare databases that are usually not available in the public domain to reflect on the country’s development experience. The book revisits many development concerns, particularly inclusiveness aspects, through an in-depth analysis. It covers three major areas related to (a) employment, (b) education and skill and (c) social concerns and issues related to health services. The book will be an important resource not only for researchers but also for policy makers and those involved in capacity development in these areas.

CQ's State Fact Finder 1998
Author: Kendra A. Hovey
Publisher: CQ-Roll Call Group Books
ISBN: 9781568023830
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Which state has the best transportation system? The lowest population? The highest crime rate? This is not a ten best and worst book, but a conveniently organized collection of rankings. CQ's State Fact Finder 1998 is the latest edition of an important quick reference that annually updates a comprehensive array of information -- by state and by subject -- with hundreds of new social, political, and economic facts and comparisons of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. As with previous editions, the book is thoroughly indexed for quick research. More than 240 tables of economic, social, demographic, and other data are organized into 12 subject chapters: -- Population -- Government -- Taxes -- Health -- Federal Impacts -- Crime -- Economies -- Revenues and Finances -- Welfare -- Geography -- Education -- Transportation Each table presents the data by state and by state ranking and is organized to make state-to-state comparisons easy. Wherever possible, national totals and averages are also supplied. A state profile section summarizes each state's rankings for all indicators in the book, so readers can see at a glance their state's standing on all the indicators in the book. The up-to-date information in CQ's State Fact Finder 1998 is gathered from hundreds of sources -- federal and state government data, census statistics, and nonprofit groups' studies. Citations are made to the original source statistics to guide readers to further research. And an introductory essay by the authors guides readers to the most fruitful use of this data to meet their needs.

Congress at the Grassroots
Author: Richard F. Fenno Jr.
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 9780807860632
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
However much politicians are demeaned and denounced in modern American society, our democracy could not work without them. For this reason, says Richard Fenno, their activities warrant our attention. In his pioneering book, Home Style, Fenno demonstrated that a close look at politicians at work in their districts can tell us a great deal about the process of representation. Here, Fenno employs a similarly revealing grassroots approach to explore how patterns of representation have changed in recent decades. Fenno focuses on two members of the U.S. House of Representatives who represented the same west-central Georgia district at different times: Jack Flynt, who served from the 1950s to the 1970s, and Mac Collins, who has held the seat in the 1990s. His on-the-scene observation of their differing representational styles--Flynt focuses on people, Collins on policy--reveals the ways in which social and demographic changes inspire shifts in representational strategies. More than a study of representational change in one district, Congress at the Grassroots also helps illuminate the larger subject of political change in the South and in the nation as a whole.
