ABSTRACT
Due to the urbanisation of American society and the economic problems that accompanied it; a series of conferences was held to explore the economics of human resources. Originally published in 1963, this study draws together papers from the first conference dealing mainly with the under-utilisation and misallocation of human resources, as well as wage rates, migration patterns and education in urban societies and the impact they have on the American labour force. This title will be of interest to students of Environmental Studies and Economics.
