Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present document identifies six main challenges facing the national statistical systems in following-up the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), ranging from expanding the availability of data to securing the proper institutional and financial context. These challenges are interrelated, and therefore the coordination of the national statistical systems should be viewed as a strategic priority, In addition to strengthening the systemic coherence of the various national statistical actors, the report identifies a series of technical issues that require specific attention in view of coordinating the monitoring of the MDGs.

Download or read book Reducing Poverty Protecting Livelihoods and Building Assets in a Changing Climate written by Dorte Verner and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is the defining development challenge of our time. More than a global environmental issue, climate change and variability threaten to reverse recent progress in poverty reduction and economic growth. Both now and over the long run, climate change and variability threatens human and social development by restricting the fulfillment of human potential and by disempowering people and communities in reducing their livelihoods options. Communities across Latin America and the Caribbean are already experiencing adverse consequences from climate change and variability. Precipitation has increased in the southeastern part of South America, and now often comes in the form of sudden deluges, leading to flooding and soil erosion that endanger people s lives and livelihoods. Southwestern parts of South America and western Central America are seeing a decrease in precipitation and an increase in droughts. Increasing heat and drought in Northeast Brazil threaten the livelihoods of already-marginal smallholders, and may turn parts of the eastern Amazon rainforest into savannah. The Andean inter-tropical glaciers are shrinking and expected to disappear altogether within the next 20-40 years, with significant consequences for water availability. These environmental changes will impact local livelihoods in unprecedented ways. Poverty, inequality, water access, health, and migration are and will be measurably affected by climate change. Using an innovative research methodology, this study finds quantitative evidence of large variations in impacts across regions. Many already poor regions are becoming poorer; traditional livelihoods are being challenged in unprecedented ways; water scarcity is increasing, particularly in poor arid areas; human health is deteriorating; and climate-induced migration is already taking place and may increase. Successfully reducing social vulnerability to climate change and variability requires action and commitment at multiple levels. This volume offers key operational recommendations at the government, community, and household levels with particular emphasis placed on enhancing good governance and technical capacity in the public sector, building social capital in local communities, and protecting the asset base of poor households.

This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the pandemic lasts, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) will go through a tunnel full of uncertainty. It is not known especially how long it is: how long until therapies or a vaccine emerge, or until best practices are known to control the pandemic to live with a virus of unknown lethality. This note describes policy options on how countries can expand their possibilities to meet the economic challenges of the crisis, with an emphasis on growth and equity. These options are based on the assumption that the fiscal situation of the region and its access to sovereign credit markets are much more restricted than in previous crises, which forces to think about policy reforms beyond fiscal ones to accelerate the Economic recovery. The options are ambitious, but the ambition meets the need. This document is part of a series of 3 IDB monographs on public policies in the context of COVID-19.

Download or read book The Economics of Crime written by Rafael Di Tella and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime rates in Latin America are among the highest in the world, creating climates of fear and lawlessness in several countries. Despite this situation, there has been a lack of systematic effort to study crime in the region or the effectiveness of policies designed to tackle it. The Economics of Crime is a powerful corrective to this academic blind spot and makes an important contribution to the current debate on causes and solutions by applying lessons learned from recent developments in the economics of crime. The Economics of Crime addresses a variety of topics, including the impact of kidnappings on investment, mandatory arrest laws, education in prisons, and the relationship between poverty and crime. Utilizining research from within and without Latin America, this book illustrates the broad range of approaches that have been efficacious in studying crime in both developing and developed nations. The Economics of Crime is a vital text for researchers, policymakers, and students of both crime and of Latin American economic policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Premio Iberoamericano Book Award in 1997 (Spanish Edition) What form does the crisis of modernity take in Latin America when societies are politically demobilized and there is no revolutionary agenda in sight? How does postmodern criticism reflect on enlightenment and utopia in a region marked by incomplete modernization, new waves of privatization, great masses of excluded peoples, and profound sociocultural heterogeneity? In No Apocalypse, No Integration Martín Hopenhayn examines the social and philosophical implications of the triumph of neoliberalism and the collapse of leftist and state-sponsored social planning in Latin America. With the failure of utopian movements that promised social change, the rupture of the link between the production of knowledge and practical intervention, and the defeat of modernization and development policy established after World War II, Latin American intellectuals and militants have been left at an impasse without a vital program of action. Hopenhayn analyzes these crises from a theoretical perspective and calls upon Latin American intellectuals to reevaluate their objects of study, their political reality, and their society’s cultural production, as well as to seek within their own history the elements for a new collective discourse. Challenging the notion that strict adherence to a single paradigm of action can rescue intellectual and cultural movements, Hopenhayn advocates a course of epistemological pluralism, arguing that such an approach values respect for difference and for cultural and theoretical diversity and heterodoxy. This essay collection will appeal to readers of sociology, public policy, philosophy, cultural theory, and Latin American history and culture, as well as to those with an interest in Latin America’s current transition.
Download or read book RED ALERT FOR LATIN AMERICA s DEVELOPMENT AND FOR THE AMERICAS AS A WORLD PLAYER written by Pascual Gerstenfeld and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is essential to aware and contribute to the profound change that Latin America requires, regarding its erroneous and inertial socio-economic and political trajectory. Also, to help to overcome, the reciprocal prejudges and damages, between it and North America, especially with USA, which has always taken to a dead end in its more necessary than ever cooperation for development.Latin America and the Americas are on red alert and facing great crossroads in the face of this profound and accelerated change of time, which, like any period of inflection, also offers a narrow space and little time to start once and for all the path of progress. This is essential for both, the Latin American region, and the North America, particularly for the USA, as it is argued and illustrated along the book, with an in-depth special chapter, on why the development of the first one extremely matters for the future of the latter as a global power, and for both as world players. As it is explained "the neighborhood matters", even more in the current growing world of economic-commercial blocks, which in turn lead to strong political and cultural implications.For this reason, it is analyzed why the development of Latin America has not yet happened, to anticipate and warn about what they could become, following their historical and recent trend, and how they would benefit from achieving important changes.This multidimensional and comprehensive journey is aimed at contributing with reflections for action in the main areas of development, such as the creation of human capacities, the production and distribution of well-being, opportunities and the generation of knowledge, and construction of democratic coexistence and social integration. For fulfilling this goal, an innovative, state-of-the-art development measure has been especially designed and constructed for the book. This methodological advance must be considered as a contribution in the tipping time that is transforming the statistical field, that undoubtedly also transform its historical name and meaning, since the 18th. century, from been considered the "arithmetic of the State", until our days, when I consider more appropriate to redefine it as the "arithmetic of development", and to rename it as "developistics". This becomes more coherent with its role as a key instrument of navigation for the development policies, in this change of epoch, and particularly in the framework of the world commitment to the Global Agenda for Sustainable Development.The work presented, uses a structural and historical-inductive approach with a critical analysis to overcome, complacency, and extreme ideological temptations of any sign, to promote the inescapable structural transformations needed. Both, complacency, and extreme ideological temptations, during the historical trajectory, have predominantly emphasized that the problems and limitations of Latin-America's development, are mainly originate "from outside", due to conditioning factors of the "developed center" in the international division of roles and their differential benefits.Contrary, this work is aimed at demonstrating with empirical evidence, that the main limitations are within the region itself, in its idiosyncrasy and the functioning of society and its elites, who excuse themselves with the easy way of external guilt, instead of self- examine their own structural deficiencies and resistance to the needed changes, which undoubtedly entails effort, persistence and probity. As the Irish writer Bernard Shaw said, "progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."This is the main leitmotif of the book, to generate critical awareness for mind changing, to overcome the mediocrity of the custodians of the past, and to begin to build a future of development, with growing well-being, more shared, integrated, and sustainable, in freedom and democratic coexistence.
