AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is the chapter on employment in 'Studies in a Hawaiian Community' (see documents nos. 7, 17, 19-27.) Nanakuli men begin their careers as unskilled workers and gradually work their way up to semi-skilled, skilled, and in a few cases, white-collar occupations. According to the authors, education does not appear to be a factor in providing an advantage in obtaining a more skilled job at the start. However it does have some bearing on how far up the job hierarchy a worker eventually goes. Most men get their first jobs through friends and relatives. Men value their work because it helps them fulfill their roles as family providers. They are less concerned about a job's status or pay, as long as the work is satisfying and it allows them to live a certain lifestyle. A few men did aspire to higher ranked and paying jobs. The authors consider the implication of these findings in regard to the usefulness of vocational and job training programs.
