Hours of work in industrialised countries

Industrial and Commercial Training, 1975
The past twenty years or so have seen remarkable social and economic changes. In the industrialised countries in particular, vast improvements in the techniques of production and distribution have made possible a substantial increase both in gross national product and in real income per head.

Industrialised building in developing countries

Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1982
Planners often assume that industrialised building will quickly solve the massive urban housing problems of developing countries. But for the effort to succeed, careful thought must be given to the technical and production planning problems involved, as discussed here by a consulting engineer with the well-known Danish firm of Larsen & Nielsen ...

SREs in Selected Industrialised Countries

1999
So far, I have concentrated on the USA and UK. I have argued that corporate social responsibility is increasing for a variety of reasons, not least because it makes economic sense for large TNCs in these countries to act socially responsibly. But is this just an English-speaking phenomenon?

Public Intervention to Support Investments in Industrialised Countries

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
The main challenge the traditionally developed countries have to face today is competition from the newly industrialized countries. As the engine of development and the means for infusing and diffusing technological progress, and therefore for the growth of productivity in the system, levels of investment are crucially important.

The Industrialisation of the Developing Countries

1983
It is generally acknowledged that industrialisation is the major path to the economic development of the underdeveloped regions of the world. However, in spite of strenuous efforts to foster the growth of manufacturing industry in a wide range of developing countries over the postwar period, very few of these countries have so far been able to develop ...

Employment Implications Of Industrialisation In Developing Countries: A Survey

The Economic Journal, 1974
The expansion of industrial manufacturing alone cannot be expected to solve the unemployment and underemployment problem in most developing countries. A manufacturing sector employing 20 % of the labour force would need to increase employment by 15 % per year merely to absorb the increment in a total work force growing at an annual rate of 3 %.

Intergenerational transfers in industrialised countries

Journal of Population Economics, 1989
Estimates of the direction of net intergenerational transfers for Britain and Japan indicate that they are from younger to older generations. The estimates are similar to those for the USA by Lee and Lapkoff (1988). In the absence of capital dilution effects, because of these transfers, higher fertility would increase lifetime consumption in these ...
