Diversity In Public Sector Hr Policy. It Is Very Well Known

Diversity in Public Sector HR Policy It is very well known that the only constant in the universe is change, and there is no better place to validate that claim than in today’s workplace. Diversity is the order of the day when it comes to recruitment and selection by public and privet recruiters, headhunters, and human resource (HR) managers. While many guidelines have been put into place to ensure diversity in hiring practices, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against job applicants on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion, there are still areas of discrimination that are not addressed in the act which can put hiring managers at risk. It is†¦show more content†¦Diversity must be woven into the very fiber of the organization’s culture in such a way that there is no mistake as to leadership’s attitude toward hiring the most talented candidates from all walks of life. Brescoll (2011) stated when an organization truly has diversity as a core part of its culture, diversity then becomes the lens that all aspects of the organization are view through. It is at this point when an organization can say diversity is part of its core culture. At this point HR managers need to understand how and where to attract and recruit those individuals that represent the core competency of diversity. Recruiting Diversity It may be well and good to preach a culture of diversity; however, attracting, recruiting, and selecting candidates that mirror the organizations commitment is another thing entirely. Ilgaz (2015) reported one important step toward attracting and recruiting a more diverse workforce is to identify new diverse talent pools rather than being a slave to tools such as online search engines and local universities and colleges. New talent pools must be found and utilized if an organization is to locate the most qualified candidates. Monster (2014) advised HR managers take actions such as getting involved in organizations, utilizing employee resource groups, becomingShow MoreRelatedEssay on Human Resource Management in

Personal Income Inequality and Aggregate Demand

Questions: 1. Explain why real GDP might be an unreliable indicator of the standard of living. 2. Why does unemployment arise and what makes some unemployment unavoidable? 3. Consider the following statement: When the average level of prices of goods and services rises, inflation rises? Do you agree or disagree? Explain. 4. What is the aggregate demand (AD) curve and why does it slope downwards? Explain. 5. What is the long run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve and why is it vertical? Why does the short run aggregate supply curve slope upwards? Answers: 1. Gross Domestic Product is defined as the monetary value of all completed commodities as well as services that are produced within the border of a country. GDP is considered as a wide dimension of the overall economic activity of a nation. It is calculated by making the use of the following formula: GDP = C + I + G + NX Real GDP on the other hand, is not considered as a reliable indicator of the standard of living. This is mostly because, it does not include production activities of a homemaker as well as other household production activities. It also deserts the background of the economy as well as the health and life expectancy of individuals. The destruction that are caused by ecology are also not considered as a part of real GDP. Real GDP, for example, takes into account the overall market value of all goods as well as services that are manufactured in Australia after the deduction of cost of goods and services (Egerer, Langmantel and Zimmer 2016). 2. Unemployment is described as a circumstance where an individual of working age is not able to find a job however; would desire to be full time employment. The persistent measurement of unemployment is the rate of unemployment. In Australia, for example, in the year 2016 the seasonally accustomed rate of unemployment increased to 5.7 percent. As per the reports, the percentage was to some extent above the consensus of the market. Unemployment mostly takes place due to regulation of the government as well as augmented competition between businesses. Due to immobility in occupation, the discrepancy of skills in the labor market leads to unemployment that in turn leads to difficulties in learning innovative skills (Weiss 2014). The diagram shows that real wage unemployment takes place in a competitive market where Q2 illustrates the supply of labor that is more than W2. The diagram also shows that the demand for labor Q is less as compared to the supply for labor. The people to enter the labor force in order to search for a job at a certain point mostly makes unemployment unavoidable. On the other hand, it becomes unavoidable as some people does not search for job any longer once they are not able to find any. Similarly, this leads to depression among individuals that also makes unemployment unavoidable (Gregg et al. 2014). 3. The measurement that examines the weighted average prices of a basket of commodities and services of individuals are termed as consumer price index. The CPI is considered as a statistical estimate that is constructed by making the use of a sample representative objects whose prices are combined periodically. The level of price is the dimension of current prices of goods that are manufactured in an economy within a precise period of time. However, inflation is described as the rate at which the wide-ranging level of price for goods and services is augmented. On the other hand, the purchasing power of currency reduces (Einav and Levin 2014). The increase in the average level of prices of commodities and services leads to increase in inflation. This takes place due to the fact that the cost of living depends on the average level of prices for both commodities as well as services. In this case, the major inflationary trigger is indicated by rise in economic movement. As a result, it can be concluded that inflation mostly takes place due to augment in average prices for goods and services. The economic dimension of the sum of all accomplished commodities and services that are manufactured in the economy are termed as aggregate demand. It is mostly expressed as the overall amount of money that is exchanged for those commodities and services. The relationship between two factors that includes the quantity of demanded output and aggregate level of price is illustrated with the help of the aggregate demand curve. The curve mostly illustrates the total quantity of all goods that is demanded by the economy at varied level of prices. The consumer price index (CPI) mostly measures the aggregate price level (Carvalho and Rezai 2016). 4. The aggregate demand curve slopes downwards due to Pigou's wealth effect. It describes the incentive of output and employment that are caused by rising consumption because of increase in real balances of wealth. The second reason that leads to downward sloping aggregate demand curve is Keynes's interest-rate effect. According to Keynes, the rate of interest affect expenditures more than it affects savings. With the decrease in price, a specified amount of money will rise in value. The third and the final reason is the exchange-rate effect of Mundell-Fleming. It demonstrates the short-run relationship between the nominal exchange rate, rate of interest and output of an economy (Benhabib, Wang and Wen 2015). The aggregate demand curve is demonstrated under the assumption that the government holds the supply of money is constant. The diagram shows that the level of price of all final goods and services are indicated by the vertical axis. 5. Aggregate supply is defined as the total supply of commodities and services that are companies are willing to sell at a given level of price. In the long run, capital and technology affects the aggregate supply curve. The long run aggregate supply curve is stagnant as it shifts the slowest of the three varieties of the aggregate supply curve. The vertical aggregate supply curve demonstrates the theory of the economists that states that aggregate supply curve changes due to short-term change in total output of an economy. An increase in population, for example leads to shift in the long run aggregate supply curve (Erosa, Fusterz and Kambourov 2016). On the other hand, the rise in price leads to increase in short-run aggregate supply curve. The fall in wages as well as increase in physical capital leads to short-run aggregate supply curve.

Nairobi National Park

Introduction This is a descriptive essay on a national park. I chose a national park situated in a country which is well known for its fauna and flora to make the whole descriptive process great and beautiful. Nairobi National Park receives thousands of tourists from Europe and America; they flock into this country to admire the natural beauty of the national park. The free roaming wildlife and beautiful scenery at the park provide a great opportunity for a beautiful descriptive essay to be written.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Nairobi National Park specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Nairobi National Park Nairobi national park was the fist to be established in Kenya in 1946 during the British colonial reign in the then East Africa region. The national park sits on a vast piece of land covering over 117 square kilometers. It is surrounded by an electric fence all round to contain the animals within the park and k eep off poachers and any other intruders. The park can be accessed through seven gates though two are only used by the Kenya Wildlife Services officials only. The park has an animal orphanage where young animals left behind by their parents are kept: life at the park is survival for the fittest and if, for instance, a zebra is ambushed by a leopard it has to outrun the leopard otherwise it turns into a good leopard food. The position of the park is very strategic as it only takes less than ten minutes drive to be at the downtown of the capital city. For international visitors, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport can be used and for those with light aircrafts the Wilson airstrip will be handy. The park offers extremely beautiful features; all around within the park are trees of different species with different characteristics, there are thick bushes and the grass is either green or dry depending on the season at hand. With a pair of binocular, birds can be seen hovering over the bushes with some trying to outdo each other through their songs. If the binoculars has sharp lens, then you are likely to see a race between a bird and an insect with the bird defeating its prey in most cases. If you project your eyes beyond the horizon of the park you will see Nairobi’s tall buildings. If you farther raise you head up you will see a light aircraft passing over the park on its way to an airstrip which is nearby. The park is relatively dry but has a rich collection of fauna and flora. There are streams which run through the park and more often than not animals are witnessed coming to quench their thirst at these streams. This happens most in the afternoons when the sun is a bit strong.Advertising Looking for essay on geography? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More The Park Flora and Fauna The park environment mainly consists of an open plain consisting of grass with an average height of one meter from the gro und. It is like hundreds of soccer pitches laid next to each other. Herbivorous like buffaloes, zebras, antelopes among others feed on this grass. The grass is also used tactically by the big cats especially the lions and leopards. One thing that a careful observer will note is that the herbivorous will always appear distracted; they never absolutely focus on feeding on the grass, they keep on jabbing their heads up- it is the rule of this place. A leopard can keep its body as low as an envelop and move stealthily towards a grazing zebra and if the zebra is not on the look out it is caught unawares but if its sixth sense raises an alarm the leopard will have lost the day – it is survival for the fittest. Watching the unfolding of all these through binoculars is unbelievable; it makes the experience at this place memorable (KWS 1). The park tracks are not tarmac and off road vehicles are often used in cruising through the park. Driving at relatively high speeds through the par k tracks creates a good experience and elevates the feel of cool air cool as it brushes over your face incase you are viewing the park through the roof of the car. The animals at this place are the greatest treasure. It these animals which have made park what it is. Park Activity Options The park has selected spots where picnics can be held. Some of the picnic activities which can be carried out in the picnic sites include bush dinners, team building sessions, weddings, video and filming sessions. The park also maintains a three star restaurant where visitors to the park enjoy their meals while enjoying the view of the park. The picnic spots are quite awesome and everything about them is great. The sites are quiet, the air is cool and sun is not very strong – it presents the right environment for outdoor activities. Playing badminton might be disappointing because the winds are likely to take the shuttlecock on a tour. Soccer and volleyball will be good options and probably h ide and seek is not a bad idea as the bushes around the picnic sites can perfectly offers some hiding spots. Holding a wedding in this place will be unforgettable experience.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Nairobi National Park specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More For a wedding it will be advisable that the months of April through October are avoided as they are quite wet. The picnic sites are not very nice during the wet months as the ground is often wet and it is always raining. During the dry period, the ground is dry and one can sit down comfortably (KWS 1). Within the park, there is a safari walk. This consists of a long trail of a pavement made of wood; the pavement which is raised above the ground by an average of eight meters. The pavement meanders in an ox-bow manner through trees and bushes; walking over this pavement gives a feeling of walking through the sky. Conclusion Nairobi National Park is a great place. It offers a great scenic view which leaves an unforgettable experience. The ever flourishing vegetation makes the place appear evergreen. Trees are all over, the grass stand tall and bushes are spread around. The place provides one great and detailed ecosystem which sustains itself in an amazing wonderful manner: predators depend on the herbivores for their food and herbivores in turn depend on the vegetation for food. The park management has done great to enhance the beauty and entertainment value of the park by creating picnic sites and a safari walk. The safari walk and the picnic sites give a great opportunity for people to relax in a soothing environment which is quiet and with a lot of fresh air. The park is a great place to visit.

Mangrove Habitat Profile

Mangrove Habitat Profile Their unusual, dangling roots make mangroves look like trees on stilts. The term mangrove can be used to refer to certain species of trees or shrubs, a habitat or a swamp. This article focuses on the definition of mangroves and mangrove swamps, where mangroves are located and marine species you can find in mangroves.   What Is a Mangrove? Mangrove plants are halophytic (salt-tolerant) plant species, of which there are more than 12 families and 80 species worldwide. A collection of mangrove trees in an area makes up a mangrove habitat, mangrove swamp or mangrove forest.   Mangrove trees have a tangle of roots which are often exposed above water, leading to the nickname â€Å"walking trees.† Where Are Mangrove Swamps? Mangrove trees grow in  intertidal  or estuarine areas. They are found in warmer areas between the latitudes of 32 degrees north and 38 degrees south, as they need to live in areas where the average annual temperature is above 66 degrees Fahrenheit. It is thought that mangroves were originally found in southeast Asia, but have been disbursed around the world and are now found  along the tropical and subtropical coasts of Africa, Australia, Asia, and North and South America.  In the U.S., mangroves are commonly found in Florida. Mangrove Adaptations The roots of mangrove plants are  adapted  to filter salt water, and their leaves can excrete salt, allowing them to survive where other land plants cannot. Leaves that fall off the trees provide food for inhabitants and breakdown to provide nutrients to the habitat.   Why Are Mangroves Important? Mangroves are an important habitat. These areas provide food, shelter and nursery areas for fish, birds, crustaceans and other marine life. They also provide a source of livelihood for many humans around the world, including wood for fuel, charcoal and timber and areas for fishing. Mangroves also form a buffer that defends coastlines from flooding and erosion. What Marine Life Are Found in Mangroves? Many types of marine and terrestrial life utilize mangroves. Animals inhabit the mangrove’s leafy canopy and waters underneath the mangrove’s root system and live in nearby tidal waters and mudflats. In the U.S., larger species found in mangroves include reptiles such as the American crocodile and American alligator; sea turtles including the hawksbill, Ridley, green and loggerhead; fish such as snapper, tarpon, jack, sheepshead, and red drum; crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs; and coastal and migratory birds such as pelicans, spoonbills and bald eagles. In addition, less-visible species such as insects and crustaceans live among the roots and branches of the mangrove plants. Threats to Mangroves: Natural threats to mangroves include hurricanes, root clogging from increased water turbidity, and damage from boring organisms and parasites.Human impacts on mangroves have been severe in some places, and include dredging, filling, diking, oil spills, and runoff of human waste and herbicides. Some coastal development results in total loss of habitat. Conservation of mangroves is important for the survival of mangrove species, humans and also for the survival of two other habitats – coral reefs and seagrass beds.

Group project - Essay Example However, Google was able to perform a higher business transformation than Yahoo in the last decade. Transformation is about developing strategies, which are designed to create a â€Å"forward thinking† business that keeps in touch with emerging technologies, consumer needs, and creates goals for the future. Such a process involves devising specific company’s staff, programs and policies which aid in the achievement of those goals. Google is considered a transformed e-business. Yahoo provides the same products and resources. However, it is not considered a transformed e-business mainly because it has not achieved an understanding of consumer trends and has not been able to incorporate consumer trends into their goals and strategies (Mills, 2007). The process of transformation that Google has orchestrated for its company is explained in this study. Google grew steadily since its inception in 1998 and made many improvements to its search engine, such as the Google Directory, Search through Wireless Devices, several language versions for those users who preferred to search in their own language, and Google Toolbar. These enhancements propelled Google to become the most popular search engine. At the same time, Google increased its revenue stream through a carefully devised â€Å"Keyword Targeted Advertising program,† and partnership deals with the world’s largest portals, like China’s NetEase and Japan’s BIGLOBE. Another device to attract small businesses was the AdWords program (â€Å"Google Corporate History,† 2007). At the end of 2000, Google was attracting more than 100 million search queries every day. Google continued with its partnerships and innovation to widen its user base. By the end of 2001, and Google had become a profitable company. Google’s search capacity has been evolving every year and it now includes the File Type search, Google Image Search, and Google Catalog Search. It also provides a Google Search

The benefits of nuclear energy Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

The benefits of nuclear energy - Essay Example Bruno Comby considers that nuclear energy to replace the other energy sources especially fossil fuels including coal, natural gas and petroleum and in this way serve as a clean, safe, efficient and reliable energy source, whilst ensuring the conservation of the environment. Comby mentions that there are several renewable energy sources which are being tried out nowadays including wind, solar and tidal energy, but the same cannot be used to meet the mass requirements and with the global environment crisis may not be efficient to lower the carbon dioxide levels and control pollution. He considers that there would be no other alternatives but the use of nuclear technology. He also considers that the opposition to the use of nuclear technology for power generation would be the biggest mistake of human civilisation. Currently more than 85% of the world power is generated from fossil fuels. This releases huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. He feels that countries like Indi a and China which account for one-third of the earth’s pollution should take up a strategy to use nuclear fuel immediately and conserve the environment by prevention of using fossil fuels. Using wind power requires a several areas to be deforested and the use of bio fuel would have place additional pressure on the agricultural sector to produce yield for fuel. Comby also addressed the problem of nuclear accidents that have occurred in the USA (Three Mile Island 1979) and the Chernobyl incident in 1986 (USSR). He felt that though the Three Mile Island incident was hyped, it was a good example of how to prevent a nuclear disaster. On the other hand, regarding Chernobyl he felt that the same was avoidable if proper precautions had been taken by the Russian authorities. In all, he feels that in spite of the 2 major and a few minor incidents, there have been very few incidents with the use of nuclear energy for

Essay of the Korean film my wife is a gangster(2001)

Of the Korean film my wife is a gangster(2001) - Essay Example not only revive the Korean cinema with the predominant feature of gangster movies but also with the concern of gender representations which was something that the Korean movies hadn’t seen before. Gangster movies have been a common aspect of the Korean films but the Korean film industry has seen a significant change since the release of mega-hit movies such as My Wife is a Gangster and My Sassy Girl. These films had changed the perception of gangster movies in the Korean culture as they involved an improved representation of women in the society (Choi, 2010). The film showed a female gangster who is looking for a husband to fulfill the wish of her dying sister. The woman simply ordered her supervisors to look for an appropriate man and when they found one, he is seen teaching her how to behave like an appropriate woman. The female gangster, Eun-jin is usually seen suppressing her husband and avoiding to do the homely chores that she is expected to do as a wife. She gets pregnant and at the same times gets in deeper trouble with her doings as a gangster. Traditionally, the representation of women and gangster movies in the Korean film industry were two different perceptions. Women in Korea were often depicted under the patriarchal conventions and were seen in movies such as romance or comedy. Even though My Wife is a Gangster saw women in a tough image, the overall representation of women was still seen from the male perspective not only in Korea but in most of the Asian countries. The Korean gangster films including women in tough roles did not tend to detect the misrepresentation of women and these films commonly concealed the misrepresentations of women. Many of the common spectators are unconsciously filled with the movie’s hidden meanings and their ideologies (Choi, 2010). The critical thinking on the Korean gangster movies until My Wife is a Gangster was related to suited men involved in gangster wars that had become the highest profiting trend for

Dispute Resolution at the Workplace

Dispute Resolution at the Workplace â€Å"Dispute Resolution at the Workplace: The Practical, procedural and legal aspects†. Analyse this question in the context of the UK Employment law. The Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations came into force on 1st October 2004. The Act requires that all employees must have in place minimum statutory procedures, which would in effect deal with dismissal, disciplinary action and grievances in the workplace. This is in effect relevant to employers regardless of size. In essence, the regulation imposes on them the legal requirement for them to inform all their employees of the procedures in place. The aim of the Act is to build and enhance constructive employment relations in order to avoid litigation by developing better communication and improved conciliation. The Act was designed to encourage those involved in an employment relationship to discuss problems before resorting to Employment Tribunals. The obligation demands that both the employer and the employee follow a three-step minimum process when dealing with most dismissals, disciplinary and grievances procedures. The consequence of failing to abide by this is that it may result in the incurring of sanctions, which is normally financial penalty. The new three-step procedure was given full effect on 1st October 2004. In outline, the three-step process involves putting in writing any grievances, disciplinary and dismissal issues when they arise; meeting and discussing face to face in a meeting arranged by the employer; and appeal meetings if required. The Act itself introduced minimum procedures for settling grievances and internal disciplinary methods. The essence of this is to impart in employees the need to raise their grievances with their employers before applying to an Employment tribunal. The emphasis is for the need for all employers to have at least the minimum requirements in place. In reality, many employers will already have in place procedures, which go much further than the minimum requirement. In such a case, the only issue will be to confirm that the procedures in place comply with the new procedures. Employers are expected to inform their employees in a written statement provided within two months of them taking employment of the disciplinary rules which govern the company and whom to go to for grievances. The employee must then follow the grievance procedure and it is essential as a general rule that a grievance must be put in writing. All the requirements to be followed are expounded in the Act, all of which mus t be followed in order for a claim to be brought before the Employment Tribunal. The exception to this (requirement in writing) is in a case involving dismissal. Where the disciplinary or dismissal procedures have not been met before the case goes to the employment tribunal, this may in some circumstances affect a money award, in terms of decreasing an award if an employer was at fault for instance. There are practical obligations concerning procedures that have been imposed on both the employer and the employee. As regards the employee, the first thing to do where there are any concerns about his/her job relating to working conditions, or about co-workers, will be to raise the matter with the specified person referred to in the employer’s written statement. The employer must according to the provisions of the regulations inform the employee of the procedures to follow at the place of work if an employee wishes to raise a grievance. Where an informal meeting which will instigate a complaint about grievances fails to resolve the matter to the employee’s satisfaction, then he/she may begin a formal grievance procedure as provided for in the regulations. Where a formal grievance procedure is not followed, then the employee has failed in his statutory obligations and will not be able to bring a claim in the Employment Tribunal, except in cases to do with dismissals. The employee is then expected to set out his grievances in writing. The employer must then arrange a meeting to discuss the employee’s grievances. The employee has a right to be accompanied by someone at work or a trade union official. Where the employee feels that his/her grievances have not been dealt with to his satisfaction, he must then inform his employer of his intentions to appeal. The employer must then arrange a meeting to do this. This will be the final stage as a minimum requirement of the Act. Where the employee is still not satisfied, he can bring his claim to the Employment tribunal, where he feels his employment rights have been infringed. The new statutory minimum procedures come into play when the employer is considering dismissing the employee or taking other disciplinary actions. Where the employer does not follow the new statutory provisions regarding grievance procedures and the employer dismisses the employee, the employee may complain to an employment tribunal who will normally find the dismissal automatically unfair and compensation will be increased. Similarly, where the employer fails to follow the new statutory rules, and where the employer take s other disciplinary action, short of dismissal and a successful claim is made to the employment tribunal about that action, any money awarded to the employee is likely to be increased by between 10% and 50% (this is on the assumption that the failure to follow the procedures was not the employee’s fault). The Department of Trade and Industry has made publications geared at both employees and employers in order to facilitate the new regulation, and for a smooth transition into its requirements. The website contains details about the Act and the steps to be taken in order to ensure adherence. It also contains a section aimed at assisting employees and it contains links to law centres and agencies that can offer their advice accordingly. The Act has no bearing on dismissals that took place before 1st of October 2004, even if the procedures undertaken by the employer carries on until after this date. The Act also has no bearings in instances where an employee brings a claim about a grievance that took place after the Act came into force.

Louis MacNiece: anomalous displacement and post-colonial identity :: Essays Papers

Louis MacNiece: anomalous displacement and post-colonial identity I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order, Banned forever from the candles of the Irish poor (â€Å"Carrickfergus†) Ireland inhabits a unique position within the current framework of post-colonial literature and theory. The history of Ireland and it’s relationship to England, from the twelfth century (when Henry II was decreed feudal lord of Ireland by the Pope) to the present day, is the history of a divided colonial nation synonymous with ideas of displacement, identity and culture. Indeed, Ireland may be understood as both colonial and post-colonial, sitting uncomfortably on the fence between labels of post-colonial discourse such as first and third world. Stephen Slemon’s evocative essay, â€Å"Unsettling the Empire: Resistance Theory for the Second World†, suggests the notion of a ‘second world’, or a semi-periphery in post-colonial theory, as a method of transcending myopic binarisms (104 - 110). Slemon argues that the critical and theoretical space created by the alternative of a second world accommodates the difficult examples of the post-colonial, white, settler cultures of Australia, New Zealand, southern Africa and Canada. Ireland, with regard to both the historical experience and to Irish cultural expression and production, is a further country which may be fruitfully situated in this space. The requirement of a ‘second world’ in post-colonial theory becomes glaringly obvious in a consideration of Ireland. As Liam Kennedy concludes, in a comparative analysis of Ireland to Asian and African post-colonial nations on economic grounds, â€Å"attempting to place Ireland in a Third World perspective turned out to be a largely empty enterprise† (Modern Ireland 114). The attempt to propose Ireland as a Third World nation has been common amongst various scholars. For example, in a Field Day pamphlet, Frederic Jameson claims the Dublin of Joyce’s fiction to be â€Å"an underdeveloped village† (Kennedy 107). Kennedy’s study clearly emphasises the fact that Ireland is economically a member of the First World, comparable to Western European countries as opposed to those of the developing world. Ireland’s Gross Domestic Product per head of population in 1913 was valued at US$655 compared to the 1960 figures of US$198 for Ghana and US$74 for India (Kennedy 110). To take a more contemporary view, the World Bank’s World Development Report 1991 shows that in 1989 Ireland was not a member of the Third World. The report, drawing on accepted measurements of wealth and social conditions such as GNP, diet, infant mortality rate, life expectancy, reliance on agriculture and illiteracy, demonstrates the incongruous nature of claiming a Third World status for Ireland.
