Employment effects of community programme participation: evidence from matched samples
Article Abstract:
Participation in a temporary employment scheme improves subsequent employment. This remains valid when cross matching of the ex-scheme group is done with a subset of both weighted and unweighted controls. The U.K. government introduces temporary employment schemes in the form of community programme participation as a policy option for a long term solution. The research finds a positive effect of the schemes in reducing long term unemployment.

Theories of economic evolution: a preliminary taxonomy
Article Abstract:
The description of economic ideas in biological terms has developed little since Marx saw analogies to Darwin; classical physics remains the most important physical-science analogy to economics. During the 1980s evolutionary ideas in economics revived, but the use and application of scientific terms was imprecise or outmoded. The word 'evolution' has different meanings, for which a preliminary taxonomy is developed.

Training subsidies, technical progress and economic growth
Article Abstract:
The amount spent by the government on training should depend on the output available from that training. Although the productivity of any factory is directly proportional to the skill level of the workers, most private sectors in the United Kingdom, provide almost no training. The necessity to subsidize training of all types by the government is inevitable to allow economic progress in the country.
