Download or read book Transitions in Regional Economic Development written by Ivan Turok and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of extraordinary challenges confronting the world, this book analyses some of the profound changes occurring in the development of cities and regions. It discusses the uncertainties associated with the stalling of hyper-globalization and asks whether this creates opportunities for resurgent regional economies driven by local capabilities, resource efficiencies and domestic production. Theory and evidence on socio-economic and environmental transitions underway in many regions are brought together. Implications of the shifting balance of global power towards emerging economies in the East are explored, along with the consequences of urbanization in the global South for politics and democracy. Dilemmas surrounding migration are also discussed, including whether incomers displace local workers and depress wages, or bring benefits in the form of know-how, new technology and investment. More integrative concepts of the region and theories of regional development are analysed, recognising the role of human capital, knowledge, innovation, finance, infrastructure and institutions. This was originally published as a special issue of Regional Studies.

Download or read book When We re Sixty Four written by Rafael Rofman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American countries are in the midst of a demographic transition and, as a consequence, a population-aging process. Over the next few decades, the number of children will decline relative to the number of older adults. Population aging is the result of a slow but sustained reduction in mortality rates, given increases in life expectancy and fertility. These trends reflect welcome long-term improvements in welfare and in economic and social development. But this process also entails policy challenges: many public institutions—including education, health, and pension systems and labor market regulations—are designed for a different demographic context and will need to be adapted. When We’re Sixty-Four discusses public policies aimed at overcoming the two main challenges facing Latin American countries concerning the changing demographics. On one hand, older populations demand more fiscal resources for social services, such as health, long-term care, and pensions. On the other, population aging produces shifts in the proportion of the population that is working age, which may affect long-term economic growth. Aging societies risk losing dynamism, being exposed to higher dependency rates, and experiencing lower savings rates. Nonetheless, in the interim, Latin American countries have a demographic opportunity: a temporary decline in dependency rates creates a period in which the share of the working-age population, with its associated saving capacity, is at its highest levels. This constitutes a great opportunity in the short term because the higher savings may result in increases in capital endowment per worker and productivity. For that to happen, it is necessary to generate institutional, financial, and fiscal conditions that promote larger savings and investment, accelerating per capita economic growth in a sustainable way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the causes of the economic and political crisis in Argentina in 2001 and the process of strong economic recovery. It poses the question of how a country which defaulted on its external loans and was widely criticized by international observers could have succeeded in its growth and development despite this decision in 2002. It examines this process in terms of the impact of neo-liberal policies on the economy and the role of development strategy and the state in recovering from the crisis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s a large number of Latin American countries reverted from military dictatorships to civilian democracies. In most cases the new democratic governments inherited an extremely precarious economic situation, which left little room to manoeuvre. This book analyzes the special problems that governments face in the formulation and implementation of economic policy after the restoration of democracy. In each of six cases - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay - an analysis is made of the difficulties encountered and the performance of the democratic governments.

Download or read book Languages of Economic Crises written by Sonya Marie Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-26 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical engagement with languages that describe, perpetuate, respond to, and resist economic crises. Unlike many volumes on economic crises that offer economistic explanations of their causes or policy suggestions for their resolution, this collection explores the different types of language used to deal with complex economic phenomena. The chapters in this volume examine a range of connections between language and crises: from the metaphors used historically to describe economic crises, to the languages deployed within periods of crises and economic struggle, to the popular responses thereto (including political manifestations and worker-organized enterprises). Also considered are the implications for democratic participation and gender relations, and the lack of language to express economic experience amongst certain groups. With essays from seven contributors representing five different countries, this collection has global relevance in a time marked by economic volatility and upheaval, and will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in the politics of language, economic discourse and the epistemological complexities of economic crises. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy.

Download or read book Demographic Change in Uruguay written by Rafael Rofman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of Uruguay is undergoing a slow but sustained aging process, driven by the demographic transition that started early in the twentieth century. While this reflects significant improvements in mortality and fertility trends, it also creates important challenges for the fiscal sustainability of some social policies and the economic trends in the medium and long term. Uruguay is currently going through the “demographic bond†? stage of this process, as the proportion of the population aged between 15 and 65 years old is peaking. This temporary situation creates the possibility of increasing the endowment of capital and labor force and entering a path of sustained economic growth. For this to happen, it is necessary to generate institutional, financial and fiscal conditions that promote larger savings and investment, to increase the productivity of the economy and sustain per capita GDP growth. This book studies the opportunities and challenges that the demographic transition poses for Uruguay ́s economy. Once the demographic bond has passed, population aging will have a significant impact on fiscal accounts, especially in social protection expenditures. This represent a serious policy challenge, demanding reforms to adapt the institutions and systems to a new demographic context. The main challenge for Uruguay in the next few decades will be to maintain a solid economic growth path in the context of a diminishing working-age population. This will require that labor force participation rates increase, particularly among women and older citizen, but also that those in the labor market increase their productivity. This will be achieved only through sustained growth of capital per worker ratio and the incorporation of innovations and technological developments that facilitate increased production of goods and services for the entire population.
