"Purpose of this article is to report on changes in wages, prices, and labor productivity in British Guyana between 1948-1962. It is the first study of this matter and is the result of the author's original statistical work. The study should be regarded as a part of a wider investigation into the features which have characterized the pattern and movement of wages, prices, and labor productivity in the Commonwealth Caribbean over relatively short periods. The purpose was to discover what these features were so that they might provide some empirical background to the problems raised by wage-policy." --The Author
This paper focuses primarily on the challenges of nurse migration, although it makes reference to the crisis in education as it argues that the two are inter-connected. Also, while it acknowledges the problem as a regional one and speaks to this, its focus is on Jamaica, especially in assessing the feasibility of a 'training for export model.' It draws primarily on secondary literature, supported by interviews.
