Amy Beckford Bailey (1895–1990) was one of the politically engaged women present at the birth of the Jamaican nation in the 1930s and 1940s. Although she is widely known in Jamaica for her outstanding achievements as teacher, social worker, and feminist, what is less known is her large body of public writing. An examination of this writing broadens our sense of her accomplishments and enriches our understanding of this decisive period in the evolution of Jamaican and West Indian history, politics, and intellectual traditions.;
The main objective of this paper is to present and analyze a fairly comprehensive and reliable set of data on income distribution in Jamaica. Jamaican households ranking in the top 20 percent in income commanded 61.5 percent of income, and those in the bottom 20 percent only 2.2 percent.
The purpose of the paper is to design and test a model which explains internal migration in Jamaica, based largely on the 1960 census. Suggests that urban migration was unrelated to the level of employment opportunities.
Based on research conducted on Jamaica's hotel industry, this study sought to determine if there are any advantages to both employers and employees in use of short-term incentives in that industry. Using theories of motivation and the concepts governing incentive compensation to construct a theoretical framework, the article sought to make the link between short-term incentives, motivation and employee productivity.
