Book Description
Over the past four decades, the forces of economic restructuring, globalization, and suburbanization, coupled with changes in social policies have dimmed hopes for revitalizing minority neighborhoods in the U.S. Community economic development offers a possible way to improve economic and employment opportunities in minority communities. In this authoritative collection of original essays, contributors evaluate current programs and their prospects for future success.Using case studies that consider communities of African-Americans, Latinos, Asian immigrants, and Native Americans, the book is organized around four broad topics. "The Context" explores the larger demographic, economic, social, and physical forces at work in the marginalization of minority communities. "Labor Market Development" discusses the factors that shape supply and demand and examines policies and strategies for workforce development. "Business Development" focuses on opportunities and obstacles for minority-owned businesses. "Complementary Strategies" probes the connections between varied economic development strategies, including the necessity of affordable housing and social services.Taken together, these essays offer a comprehensive primer for students as well as an informative overview for professionals.

Pages : 80
Book Description
By analyzing industrial policy, this booklet reveals a long-term conceptual problem that has impeded progress toward fuller employment for blacks. The report introduces industrial policy; gives an overview of leading industrial policy proposals; outlines the employment problems of black Americans; assesses the various analyses of these problems; evaluates the efficacy of industrial policy proposals for minorities; and explores various policy options for improving the situation of black workers. Industrial polilcy fails to address black employment problems in three areas: (1) the nature of firms where blacks work; (2) the role of schools and training in the labor market; and (3) shifts in the composition and number of available jobs. Retraining programs, for example, concentrate on large primary firms and the short-term unemployed, having little value when the real problem is too few jobs. Growth alone has not solved black employment problems in the past, nor will it do so in the future. Rather than offer an alternative, the report encourages industrial policy advocates and minority leaders to engage in discussions which might lead to some new ideas for change. The report advocates a continuation of affirmative action programs, public employment, and income redistribution policies--despite the associated political problems. (ETS)
