Population Education and the Federal Role
Demographic Trends and the Federal Role in Education
Author: Harold Hodgkinson

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Over the years, the United States has evolved a system of local, state, and national/federal educational decision-making that, according to the author, makes a smooth, well-integrated system of policy development and implementation unachievable. However, certain things can be accomplished only at the federal level, including consistent data calculation across states, provision of programs for students with special needs, and accountability for federal funding. The writer discusses the role of the federal government in education, and advocates that appropriate policy may serve as a significant tool for reduction of youth poverty. An appendix includes additional data by state on the percentage of children in poverty, the chance for attending college by age 19, change in population, change in high school completion rates, annual net migration of bachelor's degrees by state, percentage of adults with an associate degree or higher, and percentages of 9th graders lost in the educational pipeline and those attaining bachelor's degrees. (Contains 4 footnotes and 11 figures.) [This paper was commissioned by the Center on Education Policy for its project on Rethinking the Federal Role in Elementary and Secondary Education.].

Population Policy and the U.S. Constitution
Author: L.D. Barnett
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 940172718X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
A few decades ago a monograph on the legal aspects of population control would have looked mainly at legal prohibitions. The salient legal problems were restriction of the use of birth control and dissemination of information about it. The assumption in such an approach would have been that effective population control is legally affected only by the clearly stated restrictions in the law. In other respects, the law could be assumed to be neutral. Judicial and legislative changes have eliminated practically all restrictions on the means of contraception. This development, how ever, has not freed population from its relation to the law; on the contrary, it has exposed the importance of law as a motivating force for and against population control. Although much applied work in population control is directed toward the distribution of contracep tives, concentration on the means of population control has shown itself to be of doubtful value. From many sides the primary impor tance of motivation has been recognized, along with the need to influence motivation and to analyze the conditions under which motivational change is possible. At this point the role of the law ix X FOREWORD becomes apparent, along with the recognition that law has not been neutral in this issue-that, in fact, it cannot be neutral. Larry Barnett has undertaken a pioneering effort in identifying the areas of law important to changing people's motivations in regard to population control and to a reduction in individual family size.
