Women are kept longer in the lower strata of personnel work and the dissatisfaction expressed by personnel women regarding their opportunities for development and promotion are not without foundation. The findings from a study conducted by the Institute of Personnel Management among a 10 per cent random sample of its membership (900 respondents) shows that women are not given the same opportunities for grounding in industrial relations or general management activities at the earliest stages of their careers, being directed instead to traditional "female" personnel areas such as recruitment and welfare. The tendency for smaller firms to employ women means that their salaries are usually lower than men's, and then they are not encouraged into senior managerial training, due to financial constraints. There is an urgent need for more positive action in the development of female personnel managers' careers.

Husbands are reluctant to take on housework responsibility even when wives work full‐time and they themselves do not work. A study of 18 breadwinning wives and 14 of their husbands indicates that this is partly bound up with the low value placed on housework and partly with the need for an identity based on some kind of "purposeful" work. Work completed around the house tended to be of a craft (DIY) nature, consistent with the traditional male domain, and no attempts were made to seek reciprocal child‐caring/mutual help arrangements with other people, either male or female.

Le 6 aout 1985 a ete signe a Rarotonga un traite creant une zone denuclearisee dans le pacifique sud. Cela, les signataires du traite en sont conscients, n'eliminera pas les activites nucleaires, mais exercera une pression constante sur les gouvernements. Le traite a une application geographique et une portee materielle reelles; le controle releve de l'AIEA et d'organes propres. Malgre les protocoles complementaires, l'Australie et la Nouvelle-Zelande estiment que la zone comporte pas suffisamment d'interdictions. (Internat. Polit. Science Assoc.)
