In the post-industrial society the chief problem is the organisation of science and the primary institution, the university or the research institutes. In the post industrial society the industrial proletariat comprises a mere 15% of the working population and is steadily declining. In the same way people engaged in agriculture make up 5% or less of today's advanced societies. The shift to services is also decisive. These human services or professional services in health, education and social services expand the range of what a population can do. In the process there is an expansion of longevity of the population and expanding of these skills. About 20% of the black males are professional, technical and clerical occupation holders. However this is still in stark contrast to 43% of white males in similar occupational categories in 1968.
