Download or read book Teor a de las condiciones y los servicios generales de la producci n written by Gustavo Garza and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La economía política de la urbanización asume que las condiciones generales de la producción constituyen el determinante histórico fundamental de la concentración espacial del capital. En este libro, primero de una trilogía sobre el tema, se extiende esa categoría proponiendo la existencia del binomio condiciones y servicios generales de la producción, como un concepto más adecuado para comprender las aglomeraciones metropolitanas contemporáneas. En la primera parte de la obra se analiza la evolución de dicha categoría dentro de la teoría del capital, su desarrollo histórico mundial como andamiaje infraestructural, así como su definición, tipología y características. En la segunda parte se inicia un estudio empírico sobre el vínculo de la infraestructura con la competitividad urbana y, principalmente, la cuestión de su financiamiento en el caso de la Ciudad de México.

Download or read book Chile written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Standards Measurement Study No. 113. This paper analyzes the extent to which workers in Bolivia face barriers to entry in the formal and informal sectors of the urban labor market. These barriers are most prevalent in the formal sector because of regulation. The higher wages found in the that sector are often regarded as evidence of labor market segmentation. However, wage differences between sectors may also result from compensating wage differentials, which follow from non-monetary returns to the job such as health insurance, utility associated with the workplace, and job security. The author proposes a model that allows testing for labor market segmentation between the two sectors on the basis of cross- sectional data. The methodology incorporates data on ways in which individuals search for new jobs and information about discouraged workers who have stopped searching for jobs. The proposed model accounts for all of the specific features of urban labor markets in developing countries, in particular the existence of a competitive informal sector.
Download or read book Rumo a uma cobertura universal de sa de e equidade na Am rica Latina e no Caribe written by Tania Dmytraczenko and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nas últimas três décadas, muitos países da América Latina e Caribe reconheceram a saúde como um direito humano. Desde o início dos anos 2000, 46 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados recebem cobertura de programas de saúde com direitos explícitos a atendimento. Essas reformas foram acompanhadas por um aumento do gasto público com saúde, financiado em grande medida pelas receitas gerais que priorizam ou visam explicitamente a população que não tem capacidade de pagamento. O compromisso político em geral se traduziu em orçamentos maiores e na aprovação de legislação que insula recursos para a saúde. Muitos países priorizaram o atendimento de saúde primária com boa relação de custo-benefício e adotaram métodos de pagamento que incentivam a eficiência e a prestação de contas por resultados, proporcionando à s autoridades do setor de saúde mais poder para induzir os prestadores a cumprirem as prioridades de saúde pública. Apesar do progresso, ainda persistem disparidades no financiamento e na prestação de serviços de qualidade entre os subsistemas de saúde. Cumprir o compromisso da cobertura universal de saúde exigirá esforços concertados para melhorar a geração de receitas de formal fiscalmente sustentável e aumentar a produtividade em termos de despesas. Em Rumo a uma Cobertura Universal de Saúde e Equidade na América Latina e Caribe: Evidência de Países Selecionados, os autores mostram que a evidência da análise de 54 pesquisas domiciliares corrobora que os investimentos para ampliar a cobertura de saúde estão gerando resultados. Embora os pobres ainda apresentem resultados de saúde piores que os riscos, as disparidades diminuíram consideravelmente — em particular nos estágios iniciais da vida. Os países alcançaram altos níveis de cobertura e equidade na utilização de serviços de saúde materna e infantil. O quadro tem mais nuanças e não é tão positivo quando se trata da situação de saúde dos adultos e da prevalência de doenças e condições crônicas de saúde. A cobertura para doenças não transmissíveis não é alta e continua a pender mais para os mais abastados. A prevalência de doenças não transmissíveis não ocorreu como esperado, tendo em vista a queda na mortalidade; o melhor acesso a serviços de diagnósticos entre as pessoas mais riscas pode estar mascarando mudanças na prevalência efetiva. Gastos catastróficos com saúde caíram na maior parte dos países. No entanto, o quadro com respeito à equidade é mais misto e indica limitações na medição. Embora a taxa de empobrecimento em razão de gastos com saúde seja baixa ou em declínio, 2 a 4 milhões de pessoas nos países estudados ainda ficam abaixo da linha da pobreza em razões de gastos com saúde. Esforços de monitoramento sistemático da qualidade do atendimento de saúde na região são ainda incipientes. No entanto, a análise da literatura revela deficiências importantes na qualidade da saúde, bem como diferenças substanciais entre os subsistemas. Melhorar a qualidade do atendimento e garantir a sustentabilidade dos investimentos em saúde continuam a ser itens pendentes da agenda.

Book excerpt: This reference guide to the laws and legal literature of Mexico has been designed carefully by a reference librarian for researchers who do not read or speak Spanish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El actual modelo económico en el mundo occidental se caracteriza por un sobredimensionamiento del Estado que ha provocado déficit público, desempleo y bajas tasas de crecimiento económico. Esta obra defiende la necesidad de recuperar las bases del libre mercado que hicieron triunfar al sistema capitalista occidental y que ahora están aplicando con éxito Corea del Sur, Taiwán, Hong Kong y Singapur, casos que se estudian pormenorizadamente en este trabajo. Alentar al individuo a desarrollarse plenamente por sí mismo, sin olvidar a los más necesitados, favorecer el espíritu emprendedor, la tolerancia y la autonomía, fomentar la cooperación recíproca y voluntaria sin restricciones ni privilegios y con un Estado limitado que proteja la propiedad privada y los contratos individuales son algunas de las recetas propuestas para superar la situación actual y volver a un camino de crecimiento sostenido.

Download or read book Agricultural Development in Brazil written by Antonio M. Buainain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, Brazilian agriculture has experienced a seismic transformation, and its contradictory facets have fed different and opposing narratives regarding recent changes. This book covers these changes, exploring the issues from several empirical and analytical angles, including the role of agriculture in the contemporary Brazilian economy, the dynamics of Brazilian agricultural value chains, environmental challenges and the processes of social differentiation. Brazilian agriculture continues to be viewed in the international literature, either through the lenses of the past century – those of former problems relating to land use and land tenure – or apologetically. This collection of essays aims at updating the current interpretations, providing objective accounting of the main transformations, its determinants, results, contradictions and limitations. As it covers the most relevant traits of Brazilian agricultural and rural development, the book will provide the reader with an encompassing view of contemporary Brazilian agriculture, including the positive and negative sides of the so-called tropical agriculture revolution. It highlights the tremendous economic potential as well as the continuing structural heterogeneity, concentration of production and marginalization of millions of small farmers. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book will be perfect for all those interested in learning about Brazilian agriculture. It will be of particular interest to undergraduate and graduate students of economic development, agricultural economics, rural sociology, comparative economic development, rural development and agricultural policies.

Download or read book Finanzas municipales written by Catherine D. Farvacque-Vitkovic and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde Detroit hasta Lahore, la mayoría de las ciudades del mundo enfrentan problemas financieros, y aun así se espera que lleven a cabo sus funciones cada vez más complejas. Finanzas municipales - Manual para los gobiernos locales toma partido. Se pone del lado de los alcaldes y de los responsables de los asuntos municipales. Son escasas las publicaciones sobre este tema dirigidas tan directa y pragmáticamente a las autoridades decisorias y al personal financiero a nivel local. El contenido y los mensajes principales procuran responder a las inquietudes y a las cuestiones que enfrentan diariamente las ciudades y los municipios en la administración de sus finanzas. Finanzas municipales - Manual para los gobiernos locales asume una posición. En ocho capítulos, en esta obra se pasa revista a las lecciones aprendidas sobre relaciones intergubernamentales; finanzas de las áreas metropolitanas; gestión financiera, de los ingresos, de los gastos y de los activos públicos; financiamiento externo, y medición del desempeño de las finanzas municipales. Abarca temas tales como la descentralización, la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas, y aborda temas menos explorados como la gestión de activos, la capacidad crediticia, la respuesta frente a crisis financieras y los mecanismos de presentación de informes a los diversos niveles de gobierno y a la ciudadanía. Finanzas municipales - Manual para los gobiernos locales hace un llamado a la acción. No solo aporta conocimientos de avanzada en muchas cuestiones técnicas, sino que también guía a los gobiernos locales en el laberinto de los instrumentos existentes. En particular, la autoevaluación de las finanzas municipales que se propone en el capítulo 8 debería ayudar a los municipios a evaluar su propia situación y a avanzar en la senda de las reformas.
