Fix this text$1.9M in ARGC grants
Fix this textFigures just released by the Australian Research Grants Committee (ARGC) of the
Fix this textDepartment of Science and Technology show that UNSW staff will receive a total of
Fix this text$1,945,191 for 141 research projects in 1982. Of these projects, 43 are new.
Fix this textLast year, the ARGC allocated $1,696,304 for 154 projects.
Fix this textNationally, a total of $17.98 million
Fix this texthas been given by the ARGC for 1,347 pro-
Fix this textjects. This compares with $l6 million for
Fix this text1,452 projects in 1981.
Fix this textThe total value of ARGC grants to
Fix this textUNSW for 1982 is 14.7 per cent higher
Fix this textthan for 1981 while new grants have in-
Fix this textcreased in total value by 21.3 per cent.
Fix this textThe value of continuing grants has increas-
Fix this texted by 12 per cent.
Fix this textA complete list of grants will be
Fix this textpublished in the next issue of UNIKEN.
Fix this textDetails of the research categories
Fix this textreceiving grants in UNSW are as follows:
Fix this textCommonwealth visitors to NIDA
Fix this textThree NIDA plays
Fix this textNIDA is presenting three plays in
Fix this textOctober. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Fix this textNest, directed by Terence Clarke, will be at
Fix this textthe NIDA theatre from 21—31 October.
Fix this textAdmission is $5 adults, $3 for students and
Fix this textpensioners. Two Shakespearian plays, both
Fix this textfree, will be staged at the Jane St Theatre
Fix this textPericles, directed by Mike Morris, from
Fix this text20—22 October, and AH's Well That Ends
Fix this textWell, directed by Rex Cramphorn, from
Fix this text27—29 October. For further information,

Fix this textChanging job patterns
Fix this textSocial welfare researchers at UNSW
Fix this texthave warned that in the midst of a society
Fix this textof expensive apartments and executive
Fix this textperks, Australia is creating a class 'of
Fix this textpeople cut off from the benefits of life
Fix this textmost of us expect to enjoy.
Fix this textThese, they say, are the people who
Fix this texteither have no jobs or, if they do, have
Fix this textno hold on the job, no security of employ-
Fix this textment and no prospect of advancement.
Fix this textWe may not yet be approaching the
Fix this text'two nations' of Disraeli's England where
Fix this textrich and poor inhabited different worlds.
Fix this textBut according to Adam Jamrozik and
Fix this textMarilyn Hoey, of the Social Welfare
Fix this textResearch Centre, during the 1970 s it
Fix this textbecame harder for low income earners to
Fix this textmake a 'social wage a wage sufficient to
Fix this textmeet the cost of goods and services which
Fix this textare essential for an acceptable minimum
Fix this textfunctioning in contemporary society'.
Fix this textIn their paper Workforce in Transition
Fix this textImplications for Welfare, they say wage
Fix this textearners at the lower end of the scale have
Fix this textsuffered doubly, losing purchasing power
Fix this textthrough the decrease of real wages, and job
Fix this textsecurity because of unemployment and the
Fix this texttrend to part-time and casual employment.
Fix this textUsing the Consumer Price Index as a
Fix this textyardstick, the researchers show that
Fix this textsomeone on the minimum male wage, let
Fix this textalone a one-income family on the poverty
Fix this textline, cannot afford to pay for essentials like
Fix this textfood, clothing and housing.
Fix this textAnd what of the changes in the
Fix this textemployment pattern that have contributed
Fix this textto unemployment and lack of job security?
Fix this textDuring the 19705, part-time work
Fix this textincreased by almost 80 per cent (to make
Fix this textup 16 per cent of jobs in 1980), with half
Fix this textthe new jobs created being part-time ones.
Fix this textThe change meant lower wages and less job
Fix this textsecurity for the workers and a cheaper,
Fix this textmore flexible workforce for employ-
Fix this texters, they say.
Fix this textAt a time when the teenage unem-
Fix this textployment rate was 18 per cent (August
Fix this text1980), the researchers point out that some
Fix this text100,000 in that age group still at school
Fix this textwere working in part-time or casual jobs.
Fix this textThis contradiction they suggest is the
Fix this textresult of changes in the pattern of em-
Fix this textployment and a drop in full-time jobs for
Fix this textyoung people.
Fix this textSimultaneously, more women, espe-
Fix this textcially in the 35—44 age group, were enter-
Fix this texting the workforce. For many women a job
Fix this textoutside the home has become an economic
Fix this textnecessity, but Mr Jamrozik and Ms Hoey
Fix this textsay it may be, too, that employers prefer
Fix this textwomen for some jobs as cheaper, more
Fix this textcompliant labour.
Fix this textWhile more women took jobs, more
Fix this textmen, particularly those over the age of 55,
Fix this textleft the workforce early. There was an
Fix this textincrease in invalid pensions and sickness
Fix this textbenefits paid to men in this age group over
Fix this textthe decade, which the researchers say may
Fix this textmean 'a shift of responsibility for income
Fix this textmaintenance on to the social welfare
Fix this textsector'.
Fix this textThe issue of whether the State should
Fix this textincrease expenditure on income mainte-
Fix this textnance, and even supplement low wages,
Fix this textthey say, should be looked at in the
Fix this textcontext of a society that taxes wages
Fix this textincome, not wealth, and where the cost of
Fix this textcapital to the community has not been
Fix this textproperly analyzed.
Fix this text'ln modern industrial society, there
Fix this textmay not be any free lunches', they say,
Fix this text'but neither can there be a "free" healthy,
Fix this textadequately fed, housed and trained work-
Fix this textforce'.

Fix this textCommonwealth Arts Organization representatives, some of whom are also delegates to the Common-
Fix this textwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Melbourne. They are (left to right): Mr Mustapha Kamal Syed
Fix this text(General Manager of Bangladesh Television), his father Mr Syed Zillur Rahman (Director-General of
Fix this textBangladesh's Shilpakala Academy, an arts organization), Mr Henry Tayali (an artist and Chairman of
Fix this textZambia's National Art Foundation) and Mr Frank Pilgrim (Cultural Officer for the Caribbean Com-
Fix this textmunity Secretariat in Guyana). Apart from Mr Syed, the men are in Australia to attend a meeting of
Fix this textthe Commonwealth Arts Organization in Brisbane which is planning an arts festival in that city to
Fix this textcoincide with next year's Commonwealth Games.
