Felstead, Alan; Fuller, Alison; Unwin, Lorna; Ashton, David; Butler, Peter; Lee, Tracey – Journal of Education & Work, 2005
The skills debate in many European countries has for many years been preoccupied with the supply of qualified individuals and participation in training events.

Hall, Eve – International Labour Review, 1990
Refugee assistance programs are typically designed for men, who are greatly outnumbered by refugee women. A critique of training and job development opportunities shows that women are trained to produce items of little demand, those with children have difficulty attending training, and they are reluctant to engage in paid work if it affects their…

Rothstein, Samuel – Library Journal, 1986
Data from three Canadian university libraries on length of service, degree of mobility, and age of professional staff suggest that the combination of middle age, long service, and immobility results in severe deficiencies of motivation, morale, and creativity. Job rotation and job enlargement are suggested as solutions. (EM)
