The new suburbanization : challenge to the central city by
Thomas M Stanback(
Book
)
11 editions published between 1991 and 2020 in English and held by 525 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this book fourteen large metropolitan economies are examined to show how industrial composition and jobs have changed in central cities and suburbs since 1970. Driven by the shift in emphasis from goods toward services, both central cities and suburbs have undergone dramatic changes. The analysis shows that many large central cities have experienced wrenching transformations as a result of low growth or declines in employment and population. However, these cities have continued to be the focal point of economic activity within the metropolis, becoming more narrowly specialized in high-level services, which have yielded higher average earnings. These cities are becoming increasingly dependent on commuting suburbanites for their experienced and educated labor force. In the suburbs, the cumulative effect of continuous growth since World War II has brought a different sort of transformation. The composition of employment has broadened, with sharp increases in commuting from areas outside the suburbs. Major new centers of business, consumer, and social services have developed, giving rise to agglomeration economies and posing new challenges to the social and economic structure of the central city. The book also examines employment opportunities in central cities and in suburbs with special emphasis on jobs for blacks, women, and young workers. Analysis reveals the increasing importance of educational qualifications and the role of part-time work and focuses on the problems central city blacks face in gaining employment. The prospects for city dwellers seeking suburban jobs are often limited by housing and transportation restrictions. The book closes with a critical review of suggested policy alternatives that might increase access to employment for these workers

Technology and employment : concepts and clarifications by
Eli Ginzberg(
Book
)
10 editions published between 1986 and 2019 in English and held by 488 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
First in a series by the Conservation of Human Resources of Columbia University, this volume explores the impact of the computer-communications revolution on the employment of workers, especially women and minorities. The authors identify general trends in the workforce since 1960, and discuss the effects of computers on the kinds of jobs filled by women, and the diminishing opportunities for employment available to those with limited formal education. Based on extensive field research of companies, they argue that the computer-communications revolution is leading to widespread upskilling of work, and that this is a major threat to those who are least prepared, least educated, and least trained. The authors stress the need to strengthen the relationship between the educational system and the labor market, and to bolster programs that integrate labor and disadvantaged workers.

The transformation of the urban economic base : a special report of the National Commission for Manpower Policy by
Thomas M Stanback(
Book
)
6 editions published in 1978 in English and held by 217 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The objective stated for this monograph is to provide some insights regarding the nature of urban economic systems and their growth processes which will be useful in formulating developmental policy. A foreword (by Eli Ginzberg) provides background on the history of and present challenge to reshape manpower policies and programs for cities afflicted by unemployment. The first of three chapters deals with the contribution of urban economic theory: the concept of an export base, the nature of selected growth processes, the forces of decentralization, the concept of a hierarchical system of cities, and the connections between demography and urban economics. Chapter 2 interprets recent national social and economic trends in terms of their implications for metropolitan economic development policy. Six themes are stressed: the limited change in export specialization, the growth of local sector employment, uneven rate of growth in productivity among sectors, the emergence of transfers of a major source of metropolitan income, the economic interdependence of central city and suburb, and the widely divergent impact of national demographic trends. The final chapter examines adjustment and stabilization mechanisms as well as sources of renewal in the city (cost-price adjustments; agglomeration linkages; and relative immobility of human, cultural, and fixed capital resources), and implications are suggested for five developmental strategies: getting the export base in focus, looking for linkages, avoiding demographic and economic surprises, getting a line on manpower requirements, and maximizing other income flows.
