Description
This comprehensive and eminently readable introduction to human resource policy has been designed especially for readers with little or no prior exposure to economics. Parnes divides human resource policy into five major areas: development, allocation, conservation, utilization, and full employment promotion. Within this framework he provides a cogent introduction to the concepts of human resources, the major social problems relating to human resources, and the principal public human resource programmes.
