1. What's at Stake: The Social and Economic Benefits of Higher Education. Research Report.

Author

College Entrance Examination Board, New York, NY. and Malveaux, Julianne

Abstract

At one time, higher education was seen as a public good that brought value to society, but today it is perceived as a personal investment in which the public has limited interest. This essay makes the point that while many people tout the benefits of education in dollar terms, it is imperative that the more important benefits be recognized, the improvements in social opportunities, civic participation, and economic and educational potential for youth. Education should not be perceived only as a public good in the eyes of the welfare recipient, the recent immigrant, or the first-generation college student. Higher education should be regarded as a public good in the eyes of the community, the for-profit sector, and Congress. Investment in access to higher education is an investment in the potential of every American. (SLD)

4. The Status of Women of Color in the Economy: The Legacy of Being Other.

Author

Malveaux, Julianne

Abstract

Black, Latina, and Asian women generally work in jobs that are less well-paying and lower on the occupational hierarchy than are the jobs held by their white counterparts. In addition, these women of color face higher unemployment rates than do white women. Whereas the entry of large numbers of white women into the work force is a fairly recent phenomenon, black women have had a high and steady rate of employment dating back to the 1800s. Hispanic women share many labor market similarities with black women. In the period from 1960 to 1980, the number of black private household workers began to decline as the proportion of black, female clerical workers increased; however, black women were still more heavily represented in blue-collar women's jobs than were white women. Like their black counterparts, Hispanic and Asian women tend to be overrepresented in certain low-paying, low-status jobs. Despite the fact that women of color generally receive substantially lower wages than do white women, more of them are likely to be employed full time and to be working for economic reasons than are white women. The wage gap that exists between white and nonwhite women has many implications for the family, a situation that must be addressed by policymakers. (Appended to this report are 11 tables detailing employment and wage patterns of white and minority group women.) (MN)

13. The future of urban areas: crisis or power struggle?

Author

Malveaux, Julianne

Subjects
Inner cities -- Economic aspects, Urban renewal -- Political aspects, Ethnic, cultural, racial issues/studies, Regional focus/area studies, Economic Policy Institute -- Reports
Abstract

Cities are important as centers for universities and financial institutions. Museums, theaters and other cultural centers are often located there. But citizens of many cities are mainly black or brown. Government neglect, flight of the more affluent citizens and loss of jobs and taxes have produced a social and economic crisis in these urban areas. The economic activity as a result of so-called urban riots does not always benefit the poor as land changes hands under the various programs. Removal of the urban poor through gentrification and decentralization of schools are analyzed as part of a power struggle for the control of the valuable cities.

Subjects

Abstract

Anita Hill was verbally abused by Senators Dennis DeConcini, Specter, Hatch, Dogget and Simpson when she testified to sexual harassment charges against Clarence Thomas. Black women who saw her not as a sister but as a symbol of the courage they did not have to speak out against the abuses they faced from men were critical of her. Hill received support from white women who contributed to the ad placed by the African American Women in Defense of women in general for deterioration of the family despite the fact that women continued to work for very low wages.
