Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 25% of Latin Americans live on less than $2 a day, and Latin America is the most unequal region of the world. Poverty and inequality cause suffering and slow development. The solution must include generating an inclusive development process through satisfying the basic needs of the poor that enhance their productivity, that enable them to contribute to the development process, and that enables them to earn the income necessary to live a full life. Decentralization of taxing and spending from the central government to lower levels of government can help to satisfy basic needs of the poor and create an inclusive development process. However, decentralization is a stepby-step process that must implemented by taking into account real-world circumstances such as a lack of administrative ability in local government, and by formulating policy accordingly. The book derives economic principles for implementing the process of decentralization, and it presents cases that illustrate the principles at work. It is an economic guide for policymakers and practitioners.

Download or read book The Battle Against Poverty written by Juan Manuel Santos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second decade of the 21st century, Colombia showed surprising results in the fight against poverty. Monetary poverty dropped, extreme monetary poverty was cut in half, and multidimensional poverty fell. More than five million Colombians overcame poverty. Inequality also decreased significantly. In the middle of an internal armed conflict and peace negotiations, Colombia became a poverty reduction success story. All of this happened under the leadership of President Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2018). How was this accomplished? In this important book, based on his experience and with data and statistics, former President Santos explains how this battle against poverty was waged and describes the tools, programs, and policies that produced these results. In particular, he emphasizes the importance of Colombia's globally pioneering adoption of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), calculated according to the Alkire-Foster method and developed at the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI). The MPI, inspired by the work of Professor Amartya Sen, has been used in Colombia not only as a poverty measure but also as an instrument to guide social policy. The Colombian approach to poverty offers lessons, clearly explained in this book, to other nations, academics, and decision-makers. The Colombian experience demonstrates that, with political leadership and reliable poverty measurement, it is possible to make progress toward social equality.

Download or read book Indigenous Peoples Poverty and Human Development in Latin America written by Gillette Hall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-12-13 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous people constitute a large portion of Latin America's population and suffer from widespread poverty. This book provides the first rigorous assessment of changes in socio-economic conditions among the region's indigenous people, tracking progress in these indicators during the first international decade of indigenous peoples (1994-2004). Set within the context of existing literature and political changes over the course of the decade, this volume provides a rigorous statistical analysis of indigenous populations in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru, examining their poverty rates, education levels, income determinants, labour force participation and other social indicators. The results show that while improvements have been achieved in some social indicators, little progress has been made with respect to poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Libro: Existe ya una soluciÓn para quitar a los niÑos de la calle de manera definitiva y radical: si el Banco Mundial deja los fraccionamientos de pesos que quedan despuÉs de un intercambio de la casa internacional de cambio del Peso mexicano, a los mexicanos, entonces estas se convierten en nÚmeros billonarios. No hacen falta los dineros. No hacen falta los recursos. De hecho, no hace falta nada... Si los niÑos no pueden irse a la escuela, entonces la escuela tiene que irse a ellos. Basado en las filosofÍas de Paulo Freire y Mathew Lipman, la Dra. Verville nos hace notar que tal vez una justicia en la educaciÓn demanda mucho mas de la parte de la gente privilegiada, que de la parte de la gente oprimida.
