ABSTRACT: This inventory of research and evaluation
projects completed during calendar years 1970-1979 for the
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Education,
and Research (ASPER) of the Department of Labor contains
summaries of projects on economic, social, and policy
background; the labor market; the nature and impact of
Department of Labor programs; and the administration of
Department of Labor Programs. Each project report
summarizes the objectives, methods, and findings of each
project; cites the accession number for ordering a copy of
the full report, and contains a set of descriptors. The
twenty-seven project summaries on economic and social
policy include studies on economic and social conditions
and policy proposals and legislation. Included in the
chapter on the labor market are eighty-five reports on
labor demand and supply, the quality of working life of
both workers and employees, and various types of job
discrimination. The ninety-four summaries on the nature and
impact of labor programs outline antidiscrimination,
occupational safety and health, employment and training,
minimum wage, unemployment insurance, and pension programs.
The final section, on program administration, contains
forty one reports on sources and uses of information and
evaluation methodology. (MN)
