Book excerpt: "El libro ... tiene su origen en el seminario denominado Seguridad social y protección integral para adultos mayores: desafíos y estrategias en América Latina y experiencia internacionales, convocado por la CEPAL, la Sociedad Alemana de Cooperación Técnica (GTZ), la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y la Agencia Sueca de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (ASDI) a finales de 2009, tras el cual la CEPAL y la GTZ se abocaron a la tarea de reunir los aportes a la discusión, idea que encontró amplia acogida por parte de los expositores. Teniendo como contexto algunas experiencias internacionales, a partir de casos nacionales se discute detalladamente sobre la protección social de las personas de edad avanzada en la región, a la luz de nuestros singulares desafíos y de las trayectorias que han tenido en las últimas décadas las reformas de los sistemas de pensiones y otras formas de protección social destinadas al adulto mayor. Como se desprende de su lectura, es este sin duda un ámbito donde quedan asignaturas pendientes para poder encarar la pobreza entre las personas de edad avanzada, salvaguardar la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de seguros previsionales, y labrar y ampliar los instrumentos de la seguridad social que permitan consolidar una protección social integral, universal y solidaria en la vejez." --Prólogo.

Download or read book Ageing Physical Activity and Health written by Karin Volkwein-Caplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most pressing questions facing society today is how to care for its burgeoning elderly population. By the year 2050, experts predict that one-third of the world’s population will be over 60 years old. Health promotion for the elderly is therefore becoming an increasingly important topic in public policy and planning. This book examines the challenges presented by an ageing global population, our varying expectations of healthy ageing, and the importance of exercise and physical activity for the elderly. Drawing on empirical research from around the world, it considers the factors that influence health and well-being in later life and compares practices and policies designed to promote healthy ageing. It presents case studies from 15 countries spanning Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, and sheds light on how attitudes to physical activity differ across nations, regions and cultures. Ageing, Physical Activity and Health: International Perspectives is important reading for all students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in physical activity, public health, exercise science or gerontology.

Download or read book Environmental Gerontology in Europe and Latin America written by Diego Sánchez-González and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the relationships between the physical-social environment and the elderly in Europe and Latin America, from the Environmental Gerontology perspective and through geographical and psychosocial approaches. It addresses the main environmental issues of population ageing, based on an understanding of the complex relationships, adjustments and adaptations between different environments (home, residence, public spaces, landscapes, neighbourhoods, urban and rural environment) and the quality of life of the ageing population, associated with residential strategies and other aspects related to health and dependency. The different levels of socio-spatial analysis are also explored: macro (urban and rural environments, regions and landscapes), meso (neighbourhood, public space) and micro (personal, home and institution). New theoretical and methodological approaches are proposed to analyse the attributes and functions of the physical-social environment of the elderly, as well as new ways of living the ageing process. All will have to respond to the challenges of urbanisation, globalisation and climate change in the 21st century. Also, the different experiences and challenges of public planning and management professionals involved with the growing ageing population are presented, and will require greater association and collaboration with the academic and scientific fields of Environmental Gerontology.

Download or read book Debt Financing Rollercoaster written by Inés Bustillo and published by UN. This book was released on 2013 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication examines how external debt financing has evolved in the past three decades (1982-2012). It looks back 30 years and analyses the Latin American and Caribbean region's trajectory from the unique perspective of access to international financial markets. As the title implies, this trajectory has been a rollercoaster ride, with many ups and downs, and moments of anticipation and panic. The developments of the past three decades as described in this book suggest that more widespread and cheaper access to international capital markets can play a role in the long process of achieving sustainable growth with equality, by broadening the options for financing investment and social initiatives. Despite the lessons learned and the progress over this period, many challenges remain. Structural change should be at the heart of a long-term growth process to make equality a reality.

Download or read book Latin America s Emergence in Global Services written by René A. Hernández and published by UN. This book was released on 2014 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business services have been one of the fatest growing export areas in emerging economies over the past decade. The spread of information and communication technologies and the rise in trade liberalization have facilitated the global unbundling and offshoring of services activities from advanced to developing countries, including those in Latin America. This offshoring has gradually evolved into more sophisticated forms of business process outsourcing. Several countries in the region are now in the process of further upgrading their services exports to participate in knowledge process outsourcing, which includes research and development, product development and more advanced vertical functions and activities in the value chain. The empirical and analytical insights in this volume document how several countries in Latin America have entered the offshore services sector both through the attraction of multinational companies and the internationalization of domestic service suppliers. The future of the offshore services sector in Latin America will depend on its ability to upgrade its knowledge- and skill-intensive product offerings. This will call for the development of domestic technical capabilities, the adoption of renewed industrial policies, the promotion of backward and forward linkages, and the continued upgrading of human capital and information technology-integrated manufacturing.
