Manpower Shortage

The engineering sciences, and more particularly microelectronics, are a field where the presence of women is very low, although they should logically account for half of the staff. The electronic and microelectronics sector is growing rapidly due to the development of the Internet and connected objects more generally known as the digital society. Industrialists in the field are lacking in skills and have a large number of job vacancies which are difficult to fill. These jobs cover almost all the professional facets that are entitled " Skilled manpower shortage". The arrival in this sector of a large number of female candidates could reduce this deficit and increase the sector's capacity for innovation through their difference of appreciation on many societal aspects. This paper discusses and analyses the presence of French young women in science studies from secondary school to doctorate level by linking this behavior to societal aspects. It then proposes approaches that are currently being carried out by the national academic network at the French level with the profession in the context of the implementation of an electronic sector by the government. These approaches aim to limit the loss of female candidates to other fields and to increase the attractiveness for young girls.

Care System

We appreciate being cited as a model efficient primary care system by D. Haggerty1 in his commentary which questions the existence of a pediatric manpower shortage. Readers might be interested in some of our statistical data. Our group of 20 pediatricians (18 when corrected for research and administrative activities), has provided primary services to a known Kaiser Health Plan (Oregon Region) population of 55,000 children under age 17 in 1972. We have been able to function at a ratio of one pediatrician per 2,800 to 3,200 patients since 1965, when we began "keeping score."

Manpower Shortage

This report focuses on the benefits and limitations of an empirical estimation of manpower needs by selected professionals. The knowledge of the approximate numbers of psychiatrists practising and required in one's province appears to be limited to a few people. This is particularly true in the provinces with a high psychiatrist-to-population ratio. For most, the criterion 1/9650 psychiatrist-to-population ratio is still valid. A manpower shortage is unanimously identified; for the low psychiatrist-to-population ratio provinces, the priority is shortage in total numbers, for the high ratio provinces it is geographical maldistribution, in both, certain community needs are left unmet. Suggestions for improvement of these issues are evaluated. The reallocation and redistribution of psychiatric trainees as a solution to geographical maldistribution and unmet community needs is favoured by all respondents except those with a primary educational responsibility. A dialogue between involved parties appears necessary. Provincial governments are aware of the situation but their collaboration is doubtful; some respondents blame the government and some place the responsibility squarely on our profession. The involvement of the Canadian Psychiatric Association would be welcomed.

Low vision assistants are critically needed to fill the manpower shortage in low vision care if complete services are to be available to all visually impaired persons. It is important that formal training programs provide these paraprofessionals with the knowledge basic to low vision care. Assistants must be qualified to perform at least half of the necessary diagnostic procedures, take case histories, train the patient to use the low vision aid and provide follow-up care, write reports, and make referrals to other agencies when needed. Professionals and paraprofessionals work as a team toward improved low vision care.

It is well known that 175,000 Chinese laborers worked for Allied troops in Europe during World War I. This phenomenon has been recorded in major WWI histories and has become the topic of monographs in Chinese and Western languages. Chinese laborers solved the Allied problem of a serious manpower shortage and made contributions to military fieldwork, construction, and factory work. Comparatively speaking, few scholars have paid attention to the Christian work among the Chinese laborers, which gave them considerable comfort and assistance and which laid the foundation for other service to Chinese laborers in France. Though some people have a general understanding that the Young Men's Christian Association (including the British YMCA and the International Committee of the YMCA in North America) was the most active and energetic group in offering assistance to the Chinese laborers, little has been written that explains the YMCA operations among the laborers, preventing a fair and thorough evaluation of the YMCA's service to the Chinese laborers. This paper, based on material from the American YMCA Archives, the Canadian Church Archives, and some Chinese writings on this topic, attempts to investigate the origin, operation, and development of this YMCA international project and to assess its significance in church history and in modern China.

Tannis M. Zink is a “mother O.T.” herself with two children aged two and four. She is a graduate of the University of Manitoba (1966) and has worked in New Zealand and Canada. She is currently Director of Occupational Therapy, Children's Centre, Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg. The author explores the current trend of therapists returning to work after entering motherhood. The factors both positive and negative of utilizing “Mother O.T.‘s” in an Occupational Therapy Department are delineated with an emphasis on those particular contributions encountered when such an O.T. is employed. Her conclusion is a resounding endorsement for employing “Mother O.T.'s” because of their added maturity, stability and responsibility. Suggestions such as “Be flexible with vacant positions restructuring the job if necessary to accomodate part-time therapists”, are offered in order to encourage such O.T.‘s to return to their profession thus alleviating our manpower shortage.
