	Slowdown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slowdown is an industrial action in which employees perform their duties but seek to reduce productivity or efficiency in their performance of these duties.
		A slowdown may be used as either a prelude or an alternative to a strike, as it is seen as less disruptive as well as less risky and costly for workers and their union.
		Slowdowns are related to but can be distinguished from work-to-rule, another action in which workers refuse to perform more than their required duties.

	Economic Slowdown is No Surprise: Graziadio Business Report
		Additionally, the slowdown in the economies of the rest of the world means that U.S. businesses have not been expanding capacity in order to increase exports.
		Despite massive amounts of liquidity that are expected to be infused into the economy by the government through tax rebates, interest rate cuts, and the spending for projects related to the September 11 tragedy, the economic contraction has been intensified by the catalyst effect of the World Trade Center terrorist attack.
		If a decision maker understands the present state of the economy and the factors that have contributed to its slowdown, he or she will be able to foresee the coming of an economic slowdown, recession, or recovery in the future.

	rediff.com: India, China to be least hit by slowdown, says IMF: Reuters
		Emerging economies in Asia, except for India and China, will be hit hard by the global slowdown and the potential economic fallout of the September 11 attacks on the United States, according to the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook released on Wednesday.
		The fund said that China, although not immune to a global slowdown, would not be as affected as other countries because it was not as reliant as other economies in Asia on high-technology exports.
		In the wake of the attacks, there exist major risks such as a prolonged slowdown in America, a delayed recovery in the technology sector and a bleak future for Japan, the fund said.

	In vitro field facing slowdown - The Boston Globe
		But now, fertility doctors in Boston and across the country say they are seeing a slowdown in the growth of in vitro fertilization, or IVF.
		The slowdown in IVF growth undermines dire predictions that reproduction is becoming so high-tech that it will soon enter an era of ''designer babies," in which parents routinely select embryos or alter their genes to get lots of tall, blond, blue-eyed geniuses.
		The current slowdown suggests that even when a great many people might benefit from high-tech intervention in conceiving a baby, most do not, or cannot, avail themselves of it.

	purevolume™ \| SLOWDOWN-band
		With this new line-up the group realized six thrash-core tracks that you can find in our first demo-cd, "Lifeless humanity", self-recorded and self-produced by Slowdown in September 2003; this self-produced work gave to the band the possibility to manage the sounds and the sonority as they wanted.
		After the recording, the guitarist Alexy (Electric Eye) joined the group, and with two guitars started a period full of concerts in the regions of Veneto, Trentino and Friuli and of great composition of new songs.
		During this year of concerts, the band's sound reached many influence from death metal and metal core and with Jeffry's arrival they started to produce the first full lenght called "One way", which sounds very close to post-core.

	Asian Development Outlook 2004 Update - Regional Impact of an Economic Slowdown in the People’s Republic of China: ...
		However, the current slowdown in the PRC is less likely to exert strong demand reduction effects through the region because developing Asia’s production chain depends on final demand from industrial countries, and the linkage between the PRC’s export processing sector and its internal economy is relatively weak.
		To quantify the potential impact of a sharper slowdown in the PRC, a global trade simulation model--Linkage--is used, to assess the effects on trade flows, terms of trade, income and output of different regions under various scenarios.
		The third alternative scenario--simultaneous slowdowns in all three countries--assumes an investment-induced PRC GDP growth slowdown, with growth slowdowns in the US (to 2.0%) and Japan (to 1.0%) from the baseline.

	rediff.com: Sinha says plan to tackle slowdown underway: Reuters
		Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha said on Wednesday that the government was taking steps to insulate the country from the global economic slowdown but declined to forecast the growth rate for this financial year.
		IMF economists cut their global growth forecast for calendar 2001 to 2.7 per cent on Tuesday from an April estimate of 3.2 per cent citing mounting risks to the global economy and bleaker European growth prospects.
		Sinha said an initiative taken by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Tuesday to reverse the economic slowdown would have an impact as the government has vowed to step up investment in key areas, aggressively push its faltering privatisation programme and reform its archaic labour laws.

	USATODAY.com - Economic slowdown unexpectedly steep in Q4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Economic growth slowed sharply in the fourth quarter to the weakest pace in three years as consumers spent less robustly, growth in homebuilding eased and businesses were less eager to boost investments, a government report showed Friday.
		Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity within U.S. borders, advanced at a 1.1% annual rate in the October-December period — little more than a quarter of the third quarter's 4.1% rate and the weakest for any three months since 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2002.
		But most economists believe the slowdown was more of a temporary setback than any harbinger of sustained economic weakness.

	OECD Observer: WTO membership may help arrest Chinese slowdown
		China was probably the world’s fastest growing economy of the last twenty years, when it expanded by an average growth rate of 9.9 % per year.
		The main cause of the slowdown was the decline in household consumption since 1995, largely due to job insecurity at a time when government departments and state-owned enterprises were being restructured.
		In addition to the slowdown of the Chinese economy and the devaluations in neighbouring countries in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, many foreign investors are still waiting to see if the yuan will be devalued.

	Sharper Slowdown in PRC Would Have Moderate Impact on Asian Economies
		To quantify the potential impact of a more serious slowdown in the PRC, ADB conducted an economic simulation exercise to assess the effects on Asian economies under several scenarios.
		South Asia is the most insulated from a PRC slowdown; its subregional growth rate would be clipped by 0.09 percentage points in 2005.
		The exercise indicated that the adverse effects of the PRC slowdown on the GDP of most countries would be more than offset by the stronger growth in the US and Japan.
