There has been a long term decline in the number of births since the 1900, in that year, England and Wales had a birth rate of 28.7, but by 2007 it had fallen to 10.7. There have been fluctuation in birth rates due to the Baby booms in the 20th century. The first two baby boom happened after the war, this is due to service men returning home to their partner and they started the families that they postponed during the war years. The third baby boom in the 1960s, after which the birth rate fell shapely during the 1970. The rate rose during the 1980s, before falling again after the early 1990s, with a recent increase since 2001.
Do you agree with the view that, in terms of employment opportunities, women did not gain ‘any significant advantage from their wartime experience’? Many women, especially shorthand typists and munitions workers, earned for more than before the war and gained greater economic independence. Many women worked away from home were they experienced a sense of liberation from their restricted home lives. Trade unions initially opposed the dilution of labour but eventually recruited many more women. 350,000 women were in unions in 1914, but 600,000 by 1918.
Part A: When we refer back to the 1970s, most people generally think of punk rock, lava lamps, and the hippie movement. However for the economy, it was a devastating economic decade of stagflation, a three day week and the return of unemployment. During this time period according to Dollar and Sense, “From the late 1940s to the early 1970s, the U.S. economy grew at an average annual rate of nearly 4%. The annual unemployment rate only exceeded 6% twice in the 25 years between 1949 and 1973. The annual inflation rate, too, only topped 6% twice, and was actually under 2% for 14 of the 25 years in this period.
FARM students score lower than the overall average in both reading and math in 8th and 4th grade. This is probably due to the fact that families in lower income have a lower vocabulary, less education, and less parental support due to the fact that both parents are probably working as many hours as possible. Research proves that students who are living in poverty prior to entering school their oral language is more limited then those raised in a higher social economic status. African American students are disproportionately represented in the FARMS population in our area, mainly because they are half our population and in turn a high percentage of our FARM students. This could partially explain the low performance of African American students when compared to Caucasians.
While this is a median, meaning there are figures above and below $5, the pay and wealth gap is a tragic reality for women of color (The pay gap, 2013). From the same study, researchers determine the wages of the different social classes. “Recent census data shows that while white women earn 77 cents on the dollar compared to men, black women earn 64 cents and Latinas earn 55 cents compared to the earnings of white men” (The pay gap, 2013). Another instance is from the debate over African American importance to history. A quote from Franklin Roosevelt said, “If we do not learn from past mistakes, history is doomed to repeat itself” (History Importance, 2011).
Has lost 4.1 million in the 4 years, shift in trends. Bud lite has been increasing by 7.8 million over the 4 years. Lowest light- 2009 to 2010 miller light. Then 2011 to 2012 coors light. Observe: the millers lite took the sales of Coors light.
Although estimates vary (depending on how poverty is defined), in 2008 almost 10% of all Canadian families were living at or below the poverty line (see INCOME DISTRIBUTION). The majority of these households contained two parents. Nearly 30% of lower-income families had at least one adult with a post-secondary degree and almost one-third had the equivalent of one person with full-time paid employment. However, lower wages for women and women's childcare responsibilities help explain why female-headed households have a very high poverty rate. By the 1990s lone-parent mothers had a 2 in 3 chance of being poor.
Productivity, as measured by the output per hour by the business sector, grew at a lower rate during the Reagan years than the 7 years prior. The growth rate of 1.3% during Reagan’s tenure was .2% higher than the 6 years afterwards, but .3% lower than the years preceding (Niskanen & Moore 1996). Inflation is an increase in the average price level and is not a positive occurrence. When Reagan took office, the REAGAN-SIDE ECONOMICS consumer price index (CPI) was at a high 13.5%, by the end of his terms, the CPI had been decreased to 4.1% (Niskanen & Moore 1996). Those who are critical of Reagan’s policy speak of the explosion of the United States’ budget deficit during the 1980s.
The GDP growth rates were a magnitude not since 1930 of -8.6 percent, 1931 of -6.4 percent, 1932 of -19 percent and in 1933 of -1.3 percent. While the Depression going on the unemployment was 25 percent and wages for people who still had jobs fell almost to 42 percent. The total of the U.S. economic output fell from $103 to $ 55 billion and the world plummeted 65 percent as measured
Women in education The differences between boys' and girls' schooling are greatest seen in the regions with the lowest primary school completion rates and lowest average incomes. In Sub-Saharan Africa the ratio of girls' to boys' enrollments in primary and secondary school has hardly changed since 1990, and in 1999 it stood at 82 percent. In South Asia progress has been greater, but girls' enrollments reached only 81 percent of boys' in 1999 as compared to the 92% enrolment of boys. The number of literate women aged 15-24 years in the world went up from 390 million in 1990 to 432 million in 2000. This represents a global increase in the female literacy rate of approximately 3 percentage points from 80 to 83 per cent.
