handle is hein.journals/intsocwk26 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL HE economic role of women in the developing countries is no more a strong subject of controversy but the woman is still expected to be the main charge of household chores and this pre- cludes her undertaking a job outside the portals of the home, leaving her a limited choice of unskilled traditional out-lets to add to the family income. Salima Omer, Regional Advisor on Women from the Eco- nomic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific, trained employees concerned with Women's activities in their respective coun- tries. The article Training Workshop on Management of Economic Activities for Women - A Joint Endeavour by ESCAP and ICSW is a description of the training programme undertaken in India in late 1981. The paper by Robert Cummings reviews a new definition of social development based upon global value transformations even in international organizations like United Na- tions, OPEC etc. The article Community Participation: The Needed Approach to Primary and Secondary Prevention of Disability and Rehabilitation of the Disabled in Rural Communities argues that in the social con- text of a country like Bangladesh where most people are rural, illiterate and condi- tioned by cultural prejudices about disabi- lity; modern sophisticated health technology cannot be made available to the mass popu- lation and stress has therefore to be placed on the primary and secondary prevention of disability. Margret Coutts and Ian McBean, graphi- cally elaborate the genesis and complexities of suicide and still more of attempted sui- cide. The mechanisms of suicide are ex- plored and how and who to deal with it. Rather a concise article, by no means ex- haustive, it stirs the reader to want to know more. Perhaps some one else will attempt a more elaborate work on the subject. In contemporary Nigeria, the author dis- cusses problems facing children and how they in turn affect two major institutions for socialization, the family and the schools. Lastly, in another article Nazneen Maya- das briefs us on the psycho-social aspects of the welfare of the refugees in a thought provoking write-up adding how in the worst of circumstances, beyond the fulfilment of the basic needs, some work can be under- taken with the displaced.
