Abstrakt: This article presents abstracts of research articles on welfare economics. According to the article "The Adaptation of Education to a Mobile Society," the American educational system is quantitatively adequate for any demands of high-level manpower likely to be imposed during the next few decades. The qualitative disparities within the system, where not actually beneficial, are readily corrected without Herculean reform programs. The fluid and diverse processes for occupational choice by students have proved their capability for the occupational reorientations called for by changes in the economy. According to the article "The Economic Costs and Benefits and Human Gains and Disadvantages of International Migration," economic cost and benefit analysis should be complemented by analysis of other value systems such as human gains and disadvantage in the formulation of sound national policies. They will help in the evaluation of factors affecting the volume of international migration, the selection of people who move, the temporary or permanent character of the movement, and the human and economic effects.
