Abstract: The banking industry in Malaysia is an important industry because it determines the economic growth of the country. Because of its importance, banks are governed with highly regulated acts which makes it less attractive in terms of work life balance (WLB) for Generation Y, who wants work to be fun and flexible. With Baby Boomers retiring soon, banking organizations will ultimately need Gen Yers more than ever before. Hence, it is important to attract and keep this new generation in the limelight. This research was performed to better understand the Generation Y, who they are and what are their current and future expectations towards WLB in the banking industry. WLB is defined as the ideal proportion between time invested at work and time spent away from work. This research.......

Abstract: Export Processing Zone (EPZ) is the special industrial park developed in response to international market of cheaper goods. Eight EPZs of Bangladesh are managed and authorized by Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authorities (BEPZA). EPZS as well as BEPZA influence economic development of Bangladesh by attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), mobilizing investment for capital formation, creating employment opportunities for country's manpower and earning foreign exchange by boosting exports. Performance of BEPZA can be measured by analysis of investment, export, employment opportunities. Political issues, communication problems, technological inefficiency, unskilled manpower are the obstacles in developing the EPZs in Bangladesh. To overcome the problems, Government should concentrate more in the EPZ sector..

Abstract: The study examined the determinants of small rubber production with special reference to Kalutara District, Sri Lanka. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 389 respondents selected through random sampling technique. Further, in-depth interview were conducted to gather more information relating to the issues faced by rubber farmers. To verify these issues we have interviewed 20 rubber extension officers in the regional office of Rubber Department in Kalutara. The coefficient of the production function was estimated using multiple regression equation. The summary of the demographic characteristics of the respondents showed that majority of the small rubber farmers were ageing since a greater percentage of the rubber famers were above 45 years. None of the respondents was below 20 years and therefore, they have relatively higher experienced.........
