Immigration Reform

ISBN:
Category : Discrimination in employment
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
An investigation was made of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which requires employers to verify employment eligibility of workers and imposes civil and criminal penalties against employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers. The study reviewed federal agency implementation of irca, reviewed discrimination complaints filed with federal agencies and data from groups representing aliens, and used additional methods to obtain data on IRCA's effects. The other methods included a statistically valid survey of more than 9,400 employers and a hiring audit in which pairs of persons (one a "foreign-sounding, foreign-appearing" Hispanic and one an Anglo with no foreign accent) who matched closely on job qualifications applied for jobs with 360 employers in 2 cities. The study found that the IRCA: (1) has apparently reduced illegal immigration and is not an unnecessary burden on employers; (2) has generally been carried out satisfactorily by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Department of Labor; and (3) has not been used as a vehicle to launch frivolous complaints against employers. The study also found that widespread discrimination was a result of the irca: many employers discriminated because the law's verification system does not provide a simple or reliable method to verify job applicants' eligibility to work. The discrimination would be reduced if employers were provided with more education on the law's requirements and a simpler, more reliable verification system. (The document includes 22 tables, 20 figures, and copies of the questionnaires.)

Privacy in Statistical Databases
Author: Josep Domingo-Ferrer
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540259554
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Privacy in statistical databases is about ?nding tradeo?s to the tension between the increasing societal and economical demand for accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to protect the privacy of individuals and enterprises, which are the source of the statistical data. Statistical agencies cannot expect to collect accurate information from individual or corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy of their responses is guaranteed; also, recent surveys of Web users show that a majority of these are unwilling to provide data to a Web site unless they know that privacy protection measures are in place. “Privacy in Statistical Databases2004” (PSD2004) was the ?nal conference of the CASC project (“Computational Aspects of Statistical Con?dentiality”, IST-2000-25069). PSD2004 is in the style of the following conferences: “Stat- tical Data Protection”, held in Lisbon in 1998 and with proceedings published by the O?ce of O?cial Publications of the EC, and also the AMRADS project SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings published by Springer-Verlag, as LNCS Vol. 2316. The Program Committee accepted 29 papers out of 44 submissions from 15 di?erentcountriesonfourcontinents.Eachsubmittedpaperreceivedatleasttwo reviews. These proceedings contain the revised versions of the accepted papers. These papers cover the foundations and methods of tabular data protection, masking methods for the protection of individual data (microdata), synthetic data generation, disclosure risk analysis, and software/case studies.

The New Normal
Author: Amitai Etzioni
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 1412855268
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Amitai Etzioni argues that societies must find a way to balance individual rights and the common good. This point of balance may change as new technologies develop, the natural and international environments change, and new social forces arise. Some believe the United States may be unduly shortchanging individual rights that need to be better protected. Specifically, should the press be granted more protection? Or should its ability to publish state secrets be limited? Should surveillance of Americans and others be curtailed? Should American terrorists be treated differently from others? How one answers these questions, Etzioni shows, invites a larger fundamental question: Where is the proper point of balance between rights and security? Etzioni implements the social philosophy, “liberal communitarianism.” Its key assumptions are that neither individual rights nor the common good should be privileged, that both are core values, and that a balance is necessary between them. Etzioni argues that we need to find a new balance between our desire for more goods, services, and affluence, particularly because economic growth may continue to be slow and jobs anemic. The key question is what makes a good life, especially for those whose basic needs are sated.
