Notes: This article reports some of the results of a new and large survey which focuses on women and work. In relation to part-time work the survey confirms that the traditional factors explaining the demand for such work continue to be important but that current trends in the economy are not favourable to female employees seeking part-time work.

Notes: The length of the working week and the flexibility of working time aretwo aspects which impact on the international competitiveness ofAustralian industry. The popular view of the Australian worker is oftencouched in terms such as "lazy" and "slack", and the "sickie" appears to havegained a permanent place in Australian vocabulary. Presents evidence,however, which tends to suggest that the lazy "tag" may be somewhatinappropriate. Comparison of the Australian estimates on hours of workwith international data obtained from the OECD and the ILO indicatesthat Australian full-time workers are working more hours than most otherOECD countries. Also, full-time employees are working considerablylonger hours than they did a decade ago. Puts forward four primaryreasons for this increase in hours worked by full-time employees: (1) asubstantial increase in the proportion of employees working in excess of48 hours per week; (2) a decrease in absence rates over the last tenyears; (3) a decline in the amount of annual and long service leavetaken by full-time employees; and (4) a significant decrease over thelast decade in time lost owing to industrial disputes. Of greaterconcern is the flexibility of working time. Evidence suggests, forexample, that penalty rates of pay and working time restrictions havetended to spread through the award system to an extent that is nothealthy for Australian industry. While there has been some relaxationof these rigidities, it is thought that there is considerable scope forfurther moves in this direction.

Notes: A stratified random sample of respondents was identified from databases compiled by associate researchers located in each of five countries, namely Singapore, Malaysia Taiwan, Indonesia and Japan. The aim of the study was to establish which dimensions of management skill are important to regional customers; to compare British management skills on these dimensions with those of major trading nations active in the region and to prioritise key areas for improvement if Britain is to become a valued member of the region. The major conclusion of this study was that British managers were generally perceived, amongst managers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and Japan, to be inferior to Japanese and US managers and, in most areas, inferior to German managers. British managers were ranked fourth above Australian and Taiwanese managers, who were ranked as the weakest amongst the countries being investigated on a number of skills.
