This thesis investigated the distribution of Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) Public Service Employment (PSE) funds to counties in Indiana from a rural-urban perspective. A four-prong approach was employed to determine if nonmetropolitan areas in Indiana had received an equitable share of the total Public Service Employment funds, Titles II and VI, allocated in Indiana. Relative need, as indicated by shares of population, unemployment, and disadvantaged, was calculated; the severity of barriers to employment opportunity were assessed; the efficiency and costs of program operation were examined; and, population growth and migration was reviewed.In addition, this thesis attempted to ascertain if alternative distribution mechanisms (formulas) might allocate the manpower funds in a more equitable fashion. / Department of Urban Planning

Four agencies concerned with manpower policies were selected in two centers of national government, Washington, D.C. and London. Each was analyzed in terms of the contribution made to decision making and policy formulation. American and British approaches to national agencies, and theoretical implications for educational planning. Findings emphasize the importance of provision of trained manpower through higher education to the economy, identify shortages of mechanisms to incorporate study of common problems, and pinpoint the need for intellectual frameworks for analysis. Stimulating flexibility of response to changing labor market demands is delineated national center by the other would contribute to greater understanding of the interactions between manpower, higher education and government.
