Topic: Shortages

	Economic shortage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Specifically, a shortage occurs when there is excess demand; therefore, it is the opposite of a surplus.
		In the economic use of "shortage", however, the affordability of a good for the majority of people is not an issue: If people wish to have a cetain good but cannot afford to pay the market price, their wish is not counted as part of demand.
		Whether an economic shortage of a certain good or service is beneficial or detrimental to society often depends on one's ethical and political views.

	Health Workforce Policies
		Shortages are already serious today and are contributing to decreased access, decreased quality, and higher costs of care.
		Although there are regional variations in the shortages, and states have different configurations of activities and responsibilities, states are clearly at the center of the response to the problem.
		Differences between the professions with shortages identified by hospitals and those cited by states probably reflect the differences between hospitals' staffing patterns and the distribution of health professions in the community as a whole.

	Health Worker Shortages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		These shortages are due in part to a lack of graduate medical education infrastructure, and it has been argued that alleviating just one-third of the coming shortfall in doctors would require the opening of an additional 25 medical schools.
		The shortage of 126,000 nurses nationally and the high wages that many hospitals are paying to fill those shortages lay to rest any concern about native-born nurses being frozen out of positions by the presence of foreign-trained professionals.
		The shortages of physicians and nurses, however, are not problems that can await a solution years or decades in the future, given the immediate implications that lack of adequate health care has for American families, workers and the economy.

	Vaccine Shortages - Keep Kids Healthy
		This is in addition to the current shortages in the tetanus vaccine, which has caused delays in immunization of adolescents and adults.
		Contributing to the shortages are the fact that some companies are no longer making vaccines and there "are production issues, decreased yields of the biologic materials used in certain vaccines, the elimination of some vaccines containing thimerosal as a preservative and insufficient vaccine stockpiles," according to the CDC.
		For shortages of Prenar, which is also in short supply, high risk children should continue to receive the vaccine by the regular schedule.

	Natural Gas Shortages
		This comes at a time when Americans are heading into their first big energy squeeze since the 1970s: a shortage of natural gas, the invisible resource used to heat homes, fuel kitchen appliances, generate electricity and manufacture many of the chemicals we use.

		During the last natural-gas shortage in the 1970s, when lawmakers voted to ban its burning to generate electricity, they also encouraged the establishment of the lng industry with taxpayer- guaranteed loans and grants.

	How and Why Government, Universities and Industry Create 'Labor Shortages' of Skilled Americans
		Instead of curing the shortage, special relief has continued for over four decades and into the present as ranchers continue to suffer from what appears to be a never-ending shortage of domestic shepherds.
		The PRA analysts recognized that the 'shortage' was intrinsically an economic crisis as seen from the point of view of the large government, university and industry employers.
		Beyond the obvious ethical issues raised by the suppression of criticism, it should be noted that the shortage projections garnered a strong response based in part on the perception that the American scientific establishment was governed and restrained by the scientific method.

	Sony faces global PS2 shortage; US Xbox stock also low // GamesIndustry.biz
		Sales of console hardware are being severely impaired in all major global territories by severe ongoing shortages of the PlayStation 2, while some US retailers are also reporting low availability of the Xbox.
		However, the USA is also experiencing severe shortages, and the unfulfilled demand in both territories is leading to significant price premiums being paid for new hardware on online auction sites such as eBay.
		Much of the problem is believed to be down to Sony's policy throughout late summer and early autumn of bleeding the distribution channel dry of the original PlayStation 2 in order to clear it out for the arrival of the slimline model.

		Left unaddressed, these shortages could lead to hunger, civil unrest, and even wars over water, reports a new book from the Worldwatch Institute.
