Income inequality can hamper economic growth and development. Currently, the financial needs of the rural poor are sustained by microfinance institutions, financial cooperatives, humanitarian programs, and remittance providers. Greater financial inclusion could also be reached via solutions outside of traditional banking practices, including through fintech initiatives. In addition to being a moral imperative, addressing gender inequality is necessary for generating broad-based and inclusive growth. Formal employment opportunities for women need to be expanded. A good start would be to implement the 30 percent quota reserved for women in public-sector appointments, which was introduced in 2012 but never enforced.
Download or read book Droit de la finance alternative written by Jean-Marc Moulin and published by Bruylant. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La finance est en crise ; mais elle est indispensable à la vie des hommes en société. Cependant, il serait abusif de considérer "la finance" comme un tout homogène. En effet, loin de la finance conventionnelle qui fait la une de l'actualité, il existe une finance dite alternative qui tente de placer et de maintenir l'Homme au centre de son projet et à l'horizon de son ambition. Cet ouvrage, premier du genre, se propose de présenter sous forme d'études réalisées par des spécialistes du droit financier, les manifestations de cette finance alternative, les outils, instruments et techniques juridiques qui existent et qui permettent de concilier finance et humanisme. À travers l'analyse des critères de développement durable ou religieux appliqués à la finance, des monnaies alternatives, du microcrédit, de la notation extra-financière, du mutualisme et du coopératisme en finance, du crowdfunding, des fonds éthiques, du financement associatif, du financement alternatif de l'habitat ou du soutien des collectivités publiques aux entreprises, ce livre fait, en France comme en Espagne, au Royaume-Uni, en Grèce et au Canada, un tour d'horizon complet de ce segment du secteur financier souvent méconnu et qui offre néanmoins aux Hommes de réaliser leurs projets dans la perspective d'un mieux-être collectif. Pour rompre avec l'idée que la finance n'est que spéculation et prédation.

Download or read book Community Care in England and France written by Bleddyn Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, the aims of this book are: the comparison of community care service and financing systems, the comparison of reform arguments and history over the last decade, the comparison of who uses how much of what services, and with what impact on their needs and the probability of having to enter institutions for long-term care. The book breaks new ground by comparing systems from a new perspective and describing contemporary reform argument and proposals for the first time in the English language. It presents new evidence from the most ambitious collection and analysis of quantative data so far made for the comparison of the two countries (based on matched area samples collecting comparable information about cohorts of new users on two or more occasions). The book also shows how the need-related circumstances of users differ between countries and within each country between areas. The book shows how and why higher levels of the French cash benefit for community care had more effect on the central policy goal than its British counterpart, how higher levels of services generally had little impact on it in either country, but on average, how the effect of the British services were much greater.
Download or read book Alg rie written by International Monetary Fund. Middle East and Central Asia Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce document examine les implications macroéconomiques et budgétaires du changement climatique en Algérie. Il met en évidence une série de risques associés aux changements prévus dans les conditions météorologiques et au modèle de croissance de l’Algérie dépendant des hydrocarbures dans le contexte de la transition énergétique mondiale. L’évolution prévue des modèles climatiques au cours des prochaines décennies pose des risques pour la prospérité, la sécurité alimentaire et le développement social dans la région, la majeure partie de sa population vivant déjà sous des conditions difficiles conditions climatiques. Le document examine également les options de politique budgétaire pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques de l’Algérie. Une analyse basée sur l’outil d’évaluation de la politique climatique du FMI et de la Banque mondiale suggère que même l’élimination partielle des subventions énergétiques existantes aiderait l’Algérie à atteindre ses objectifs de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, à augmenter les recettes fiscales, à encourager le développement des énergies renouvelables et à générer des avantages considérables pour l’environnement et la santé publique. Ces réformes créeraient un espace budgétaire pour les dépenses budgétaires prioritaires, y compris les transferts sociaux ciblés et les investissements dans l’adaptation au changement climatique. Le renforcement de la gestion des finances publiques permettrait à l’Algérie de maximiser la croissance et le dividende vert des dépenses publiques.

Download or read book Dementia written by Susan Hunter and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a focus for academic and professional study, dementia has moved rapidly from the margin to the mainstream during the last decade. Understanding of this distressing condition, its aetiology and recognition, has become much more widespread and sophisticated. Building on such clinical knowledge, this book challenges the reader - to think ethically and in a person-centred way about the implications of dementia at a personal, planning and service provision level - to consider consumer perspectives, not only those of carers but also the much neglected views of individuals with dementia - to explore less well documented areas such as dementia and Down's Syndrome, depression and early onset dementia. In conclusion, the book illuminates selected topical developments in service provision such as community care, advocacy and aspects of the built and social care environment.
