Polycentrism, commuting, and residential location in the San Francisco Bay area.

"The San Francisco Bay Area has taken on a distinct polycentric metropolitan form, with three tiers of hierarchical employment centers encircling downtown San Francisco.... In this paper it is found that polycentric development is associated with differentials in suburban and urban commute trip times: commute trips made by employees of suburban centers are shorter in duration than commute trips made by their counterparts in larger and denser urban centers. Differentials were even greater, however, with respect to commuting modal splits. Lower density, outlying employment centers averaged far higher rates of drive-alone automobile commuting and insignificant levels of transit commuting....The effects of housing availability and prices on the residential locational choices of those working both in urban and in suburban employment centers are also investigated...."

[Young and economically precarious: an analysis of the situation of couples].

Changes in the economic status of young married and unmarried couples in Canada are examined for the period 1960-1989. The impact of the economic recession created by the restructuring of the economy in the early 1980s on the income of the young is analyzed. The authors investigate the impoverishment of young couples and compare it "with the evolution of income among older couples and analyze the impact of various factors, [such] as job stability, wage level and relative contribution of both partners."

Cultural values and immigrant entrepreneurship: the Chinese in Singapore.

"It is the intent of this paper to examine the interrelationships between early socialisation into core Chinese cultural values, international migration and Chinese immigrant entrepreneurship.... It is through a developmental socialisation process by which [cultural] values are articulated in family and kin network dynamics that social organisations begin to develop and define what is popularly understood as the 'Chinese way of doing business'. We argue that among the overseas Chinese, this way of doing business must be viewed historically and developmentally, as it is intimately intertwined with transmigration experiences and their consequences in shaping values necessary for the emergence and development of entrepreneurship."

[Rejoining the labor market once child-care leave is over].

"The author of the study analyses, from the aspects of a particular group, the situation of [women in the labor force] in Hungary. In sample surveys carried out in the first quarter of 1993 and 1995, mothers on leave for child-care were interviewed about their intentions...to renew their gainful activities. Of some 25 thousand households 1,450 and 1,491 women on leave for child-care answered the questions in 1993 and 1995, respectively.... The results indicate...that chances of women [rejoining] the labour market depend on the sector and regional location of their previous workplace, on their craft qualification etc." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Global interaction, global inequality, and migration of the highly trained to the United States.

The authors "argue that national variation in the size of highly trained migration can be explained by interaction and inequality between nations, both reflecting the process of global integration. Guided by this analytical framework, we tested the structural determinants of highly skilled migration to the United States. The evidence confirms our hypotheses that economic and educational interactions between sending countries and the United States increase the flow of the highly trained to the United States. Results also provide mixed proof for our hypotheses that levels of professional migration are positively associated with disparities between sending countries and the United States in living conditions, research conditions, children's educational opportunities, political conditions, and professional employment opportunities."
