In fall 1995, North Carolina's Gaston College undertook a study of space utilization at the college's main campus. A local architectural firm was contracted to document the exact usage of space on campus, establish space requirements to meet present circumstances, and identify future needs. To determine current usage, plots of current and original space layouts were examined, with space being assigned to specific units. Three procedures were used to establish present space requirements. First,...

The purpose of this essay is twofold. First, it is intended to communicate the authors' sense of the context in which the schools will be operating over the next 10 or 12 years and how this context differs from that of the past dozen years. Second, this analysis presents two scenarios for the schools' larger community roles in the next 10 years. One of these scenarios deals with growing communities; the other deals with communities experiencing decline. The essay concludes with a more general...

The Negro population in California increased sevenfold from 1940 to 1960 due principally to in-migration from other states. Settlement of immigrants occurred in urban areas. Educational attainment of Negroes in California is lower than that of white Californians reflecting social, economic, and educational restrictions. Employment statistics show a disproportionate number of Negroes employed in service industries and public administration. The unemployment rate for nonwhite men in California in...

The main problem considered in this project is whether it will be possible for civilization to cope with the increasing quantities of archival information that must be stored in libraries, and if so, whether traditional methods of identification and access will prove adequate to the task. It is concluded that unless the storage, transmission, and retrieval of information in library archives is automated, there is no hope of keeping pace with the exponential growth of libraries. Part I explores...

This paper examines the question of why women want children from several disciplinary viewpoints including psychoanalysis; role learning; and economic, political, and religious aspects. Basically, however, childbearing motivations can be divided into four categories: altruistic, fatalistic, narcissistic, and instrumental. Children can fulfill a variety of needs which appear to shift through time and vary among individuals. Particular attention is given to those needs which children seem to meet...

This book examines the two global trends of rising population and output on environmental change in the 21st century. These environmental changes can be thought of as "scarcities" of vital resources such as soil, water, and a stable climate and may cause widespread social disorder and violence. Contemporary examples of conflict are featured to highlight what those changes could possibly cause in the next century. The book explores why environmental issues have become so prominent in...

In this booklet, one of a series intended to apply economic principles to major social and political issues of the day, it is argued that although doomsayers claim that world population growth is threatening the ability of the world to feed itself and that drastic measures should be taken to curb population growth, the world population situation is not that bad. By using simple economics to analyze what determines the level and rate of growth of the population, one can show that the rate of...

This report gives an overview of the existing evidence base on class size and education in England.

The report also considers the impact of the 1998 School Standards and Framework Act. This put a duty on Local Authorities (LAs) and schools to limit the...

As a part of an overall study of large-scale communications satellite systems for education, an estimate was made of the amount of money available for media-technology for the next five to fifteen years. Information was gathered on public educational expenditures in the United States. Public elementary and secondary school expenditures were related to income per capita and enrollment through a log-linear model. An equation was developed to predict expenditures for the years 1975, 1979, and 1985...

As of 1985 the population of persons aged 65 or over in the United States numbered 28.5 million. By the year 2000, persons in the 65+ age group are expected to represent 13 percent of the population, and this percentage may climb to 21.2 percent by 2030. In 1985, older men were twice as likely to be married as older women. Sixty-seven percent of older noninsiutionalized persons lived in a family setting as of 1985. About 30 percent lived alone. About 90 percent of those over the age of 65 were...

An analysis was done of 1990 Census data on race and Hispanic origin. Comparison of the 1990 data with Census figures from 1960, 1970, and 1980 showed that the nation continued to increase in racial and Hispanic origin diversity during the 1980s. Boosted by a high level of immigration, the Asian American population more than doubled (up nearly 108 percent) from 1980 to 1990. The Hispanic origin population increased by 53 percent from 1980 to 1990, and was also influenced by high rates of...

A distortion has grown up between urban and rural economies creating a condition where neither is able to sustain itself, thus restricting individual opportunities. At one time, 98 percent of the U.S. depended on the rural economy. Interrelated developments such as the input of ideas, enterprise, mechanical innovations, the opening of new and fertile lands, and the formation of new settlements contributed to early rural America's vitality and strength. While the countryside provided the...

The Spanish surnamed population was compared state by state throughout the Southwest with the total population. Age and sex composition, dependency...

He reviews a growing body of research on the family life of young adults and their parents and draws out important policy implications of the new schedule for the passage to adulthood. Today, says Furstenberg, home-leaving, marriage, and the onset of childbearing take place much later in the life span than they...
