Abstract :
Our society is in a state of massive transition. For the first half of this century, resources were substantially unlimiting and manpower was in short supply. Now, the situation is almost reversed. Technological advances have made such claims on natural resources that they are now quickly becoming in short supply. The same technological advances have greatly reduced the need for manpower in many activities such as agriculture, mining and manufacturing. Accordingly, manpower presently is becoming very incompletely used in the traditional occupations. The deepening problems of unemployment have generated signs of uneasiness and panic. Some long-term moves to develop new potential uses for our presently unutilized human-resource pool seem clearly in order.
