Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es evidente que las condiciones ambientales determinan en gran medida la esperanza de vida de una población. Sabemos que la disponibilidad de agua potable, el desarrollo de la medicina, una alimentación saludable, una vida activa y un nivel controlado de estrés ayudan a vivir más y mejor. Pero también sabemos que todo ello no nos hace inmortales. ;¿Por qué envejecemos? ¿Podremos en el futuro, con la ayuda de la ciencia y la tecnología, evitar o retrasar el envejecimiento? Aunque estas cuestiones nos preocupan, las preguntas que seguramente nos planteamos más a menudo son qué podemos hacer –o qué vale la pena hacer– para vivir más años y cuál es el precio que debemos pagar por ello. Este libro ofrece una descripción clara de los cambios biológicos que se producen en los organismos vivos con el paso del tiempo y explica por qué tiene lugar el deterioro que provoca el envejecimiento. Además propone, de forma razonada y con los conocimientos científicos actuales, qué podemos hacer para envejecer más lentamente, para vivir más y mejor.
Download or read book As Time Goes By in Argentina written by Michele Gragnolati and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of demographic transition through which Argentina is passing is a window of both opportunities and challenges in economic and social terms. Argentina is still a young country in which the working-age population represents the largest proportion of its total population. Currently, the country just began a 30-year period with the most advantageous age structure of its population, which could favor greater economic growth. This situation, known as the 'demographic window of opportunity,' will last until the beginning of the 2040s. The dynamics of the fertility and mortality rates signify a gradual ageing of the population, with implications for various dimensions of the economy, the social protection system, public policies, and society in general. This book studies the opportunities and challenges that the demographic transition poses for the Argentine economy, its most important social sectors like the healthcare, education, and social protection systems, and the potential fiscal trade-offs that must be dealt with. The study shows that even though Argentina is moving through its demographic transition, it just recently began to enjoy the window of opportunity and this constitutes a great opportunity to achieve an accumulation of capital and future economic growth. Once the window of opportunity has passed, population ageing will have a significant impact on the level of expenditure, especially spending in the social protection system. This signifies a challenge from a fiscal policy point of view, because if long-term reforms are not undertaken to mediate these effects, the demographic transition will put pressure on the reallocation of fiscal resources among social sectors. Finally, population ageing poses concerns related to sustaining the rate of economic growth with a smaller working-age population. Taking advantage of the current window of opportunities, increasing savings that will finance the accumulation of capital, and increasing future labor force productivity in this way is a challenge for the Argentine economy.

Download or read book A World for Julius written by Alfredo Bryce Echenique and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julius was born in a mansion on Salaverry Avenue, directly across from the old San Felipe Hippodrome. Life-size Disney characters and cowboy movie heroes romp across the walls of his nursery. Out in the carriage house, his great-grandfather's ornate, moldering carriage takes him on imaginary adventures. But Julius's father is dead, and his beautiful young mother passes through her children's lives like an ephemeral shooting star. Despite the soft shelter of family and money, hard realities overshadow Julius's expanding world, just as the rugged Andes loom over his home in Lima. This lyrical, richly textured novel, first published in 1970 as Un mundo para Julius, opens new territory in Latin American literature with its focus on the social elite of Peru. In this postmodern novel Bryce Echenique incisively charts the decline of an influential, centuries-old aristocratic family faced with the invasion of foreign capital in the 1950s. Winner of the Outstanding Translation Award of the American Literary Translators Association and the Columbia University Translation Center Award.
