Burns, Alisa

Australian Journal of Early Childhood, v6 n2 p9-14 Jun 1981

Predicts that changing sociocultural patterns will affect services for Australian children in the 1980s. Among topics discussed are demographic changes: a decreased birth rate and an increased number of working mothers in fatherless families at the poverty level. Compensatory education programs and family policy development in Western societies are also described. (Author/DB)
