INTERPAKS, Examines the continuing supply of scientific information that farmers needs for modernizing agriculture. A diffusion system must disseminate and integrate new knowledge into individual farming operations. The degree of functional differentiation and organizational specialization that best serves farmers is clearly related to the current state of agricultural development in a given country and the manner in which other support to agriculture is managed. Information systems themselves require integration into specific adopting situations; this, the mere transplant of a system and its organization from one country to another should be avoided.
Examines social indicators of development and manifestations of poverty in Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic; profiles the poor, including geographic distribution, education, ethnicity, and consumption patterns.
This article uses 1993 data from the Trinidad and Tobago Continuous Sample Survey of the Population to investigate patterns of remuneration across its public and private sectors. Findings highlight the possibility that the government is using its ability to pay its workers differentially in order to offset private sector ethnic and gender discrimination. Hence, the current move towards privatization of nationalized industries in Trinidad and Tobago is likely to have the impact of increasing ethnic and gender earnings inequity.
