Article Abstract:

Sales of most women's magazines have been declining in the UK. This seems to be because women's magazines are no longer fulfilling their readers' expectations. Publishers are finding it increasingly difficult to provide exactly what their readers want to read because it is no longer possible to easily categorize women by age and type. There are no longer clear differences between different generations of women, and women's aspirations are unpredictable. Women now have many different magazines to choose from but little time to spend choosing between them, so publishers have to give their magazine instant appeal.

Article Abstract:

The UK government will launch the new Learning and Skills Councils (LSCs) on 14 December 1999 which will have a budget of GB[pound] 6bn and marry the Careers Service with further education and Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs).

Vauxhall UK chairman, Nick Reilly, will lead the initiative.
