This thesis critically analyzes the H-2C temporary worker program (TWP) that was part of the 2006, Senate-approved Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act. Employer opinions and lessons from past U.S. TWPs are presented, resulting in recommendations for changing H-2C's design in order to maximize its potential as a core component of future immigration reform in the United States. The paper finds that small businesses, which comprise the majority of the businesses in the United States, and are among the heaviest users of foreign labor, consider the 2006 H-2C program to be unaffordable. Policy makers must redesign H- 2C to be affordable for small businesses while still offering an effective system for protecting domestic worker interests. The paper concludes that the best means to achieve both program affordability for small businesses and effectual domestic worker protections is likely a user -friendly, electronic program process

Volume IIIa covers financial accounts of OECD countries and includes financial transactions (both net acquisition of financial assets and net incurrence of liabilities), by institutional sector (non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households and non-profit insti

The Netherlands has a tradition in public spatial planning and design. In the past 20 years, we have seen an increasing role for the market in this field, and more recently, growing attention for sustainability. Sustainability has become an economic factor. Not only at the building level, but also on the level of large-scale area development projects. More and more local governments have high ambitions for sustainable development. Increasingly, during project development, buildings are developed on a sustainable basis. Most of the time, the focus in this approach is on energy. However, sustainability also comprises social aspects. Energy measures have a direct relation to an economic factor such as investment costs, and payback time can be calculated. The economic aspects of social sustainability are more complex. Therefore, for all sustainability development projects, especially in large-scale projects planned over a longer period, it is necessary to make presumptions, which are less reliable as the planning period is extended. For future larger-scale developments, experience in the Netherlands points to two design approaches: 'backcasting', or using a growth model (or a combination of these two). The power of design is the ability to imagine possible scenarios for the future. The layer approach helps to integrate sustainability into public spatial planning. And more specifically, Urban Design Management (UDM) supports an integrative and collaborative approach also on the operational level of a project in which public and market partners work together. This article outlines how design, based on these approaches, can contribute to sustainable development based on the 'new playing field', where spatial problems should be solved in networks. Dutch projects in Almere (Benoordenhout) and Rijswijk are used to illustrate this approach. ; Real Estate and Housing ; Architecture

Die Bedeutung und Effektivität des Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetzes entscheidet sich anhand der Beweislastverteilung. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem prozessualen Herzstück des AGG (§ 22) und klärt anhand dieser Norm die zahlreichen offenen Fragen zur Beweislast bei Benachteiligungen. Der Autor vergleicht die Vorschrift mit anerkannten Instituten des Beweisrechts, überprüft bestehende Auslegungsansätze und entwickelt die These, dass § 22 AGG eine gesetzliche widerlegliche Tatsachenvermutung darstellt. Dabei werden die Auswirkungen dieser These differenziert nach den verschiedenen Benachteiligungsformen des § 3 AGG untersucht. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei auch die Besonderheiten der Beweislastverteilung bei mittelbaren Benachteiligungen. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet die Untersuchung des Anwendungsbereiches des § 22 AGG. Thematisiert wird die Beweissituation bei Beendigung eines Arbeitsverhältnisses, bei Ansprüchen außerhalb des AGG und auch bei Ansprüchen von Betriebsräten, Gewerkschaften sowie Antidiskriminierungsverbänden. Zuletzt analysiert der Autor – auch für die Praxis – eine Vielzahl von einzelnen Tatsachen und ob diese Indizien im Sinne von § 22 AGG darstellen

In Fällen von Diskriminierungen kann es zu erheblichen Beweisproblemen kommen, da diese selten offen stattfinden. Um dieser Beweisproblematik zu begegnen, findet sich im Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetz die Regelung des § 22 AGG zur Beweislast. Diese kann je nach Verständnis den Unterschied zwischen einem stumpfen Schwert oder einer überscharfen Waffe im Diskriminierungsprozess ausmachen. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt an den der Regelung zugrundeliegenden europäischen und verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben sowie der innerstaatlich-historischen Entstehungsgeschichte an und beleuchtet zunächst ihren persönlichen und sachlichen Anwendungsbereich ...
