Low workforce participation of educated female and the role of work organizations in post-war Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka as a developing economy that achieved gender equity in education and a higher literacy rate (both adult and youth) in the South Asian region still records a low labor force participation and high unemployment rate of females when compared to their male counterparts. With the suggestion of existing literature on the non-conventional models of careers those adopted by young and female populations at the working age, this paper discusses the role of work organizations in absorbing more females (and even minority groups) into the workforce. It mainly focuses on the need of designing appropriate human resource strategies and reforming the existing organizational structures in order for contributing to the national development in the post-war Sri Lanka economy.

Vivienda de posguerra en España. La rehabilitación como herramienta para una arquitectura más sostenible - Post war housing in Spain. Renovation as a tool towards a more sustainable architecture

En los próximos años, el principal reto del sector de la construcción reside en la rehabilitación sostenible del parque inmobiliario. En muchas ciudades de España existe un tejido muy específico sobre el que es necesario intervenir: los barrios de bloque abierto construidos en el periodo de la posguerra. Este artículo parte de un estudio del parque residencial de la posguerra donde, pasados 50 años, resulta necesario intervenir. El análisis se ha centrado en la construcción de vivienda durante las décadas de los 50, 60 y 70, identificando las tipologías existentes así como las características constructivas y los materiales empleados. Además, y dado que actuar en estos edificios va a ser necesario en los próximos años, se ha analizado la rehabilitación de viviendas en España de los últimos años, proponiendo nuevas metodologías para la toma de decisiones que integren los aspectos ambientales y económicos, encaminadas hacia una construcción más sostenible.

The Berlin Republic and the real end of the post-war era. OSW Commentary No. 67, 2011-12-07

In the post-war era, Germany has undergone a deep change almost like clockwork every two decades. In 1949, the foundations were laid for the establishment of the two German states: the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic; 1968–1969 was the time of the student revolt as a harbinger of the democratisation and liberalisation of society; and in 1989–1990, the process of unification took place, with all its consequences. Two decades later, another deep revision of the values is happening, as a consequence of which Germany is bidding a final farewell to the post-war epoch and its inherent certainties: its advancing society, the homogeneous national state and the faith in Europe as a solution to the ‘German question.’ This revision will not be revolutionary. However, as with the previous turning points, Germany is becoming a different state and a different society, which Europe will have to build its relations with anew.
