This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: América Latina y el Caribe se encuentra en una encrucijada de enorme relevancia para el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres. Tras un período de prosperidad, progreso social y consolidación democrática, muchos países están experimentando una desaceleración económica y algunos incluso recesión, polarización social, desconfianza en los gobiernos y, en ciertos casos, crisis políticas. A este contexto se suman además factores externos tales como la caída de los precios de las materias primas, tendencias proteccionistas, incertidumbre respecto de la evolución del flujo de las remesas y posibles modificaciones en las políticas migratorias. En este contexto, poner el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres en el centro de la agenda pública cobra renovada importancia si el objetivo en la región es erigir economías no solo más prósperas y resilientes, sino también más igualitarias. Quienes tienen a su cargo la formulación de políticas públicas enfrentan un doble desafío: proteger las conquistas en materia de igualdad de género frente a la desaceleración económica y continuar superando los persistentes obstáculos que se interponen al empoderamiento económico de las mujeres. Los avances registrados por las mujeres de la región a lo largo de las últimas dos décadas son indiscutibles; pero también son innegables las persistentes brechas no solamente entre mujeres y hombres, sino entre las mujeres mismas. Como muestra este informe, tanto las conquistas como los obstáculos al empoderamiento económico de las mujeres reflejan las profundas desigualdades socioeconómicas características de esta región, las cuales se agudizan con algunas dinámicas familiares y con patrones patriarcales y violentos. Estas desigualdades a su vez fuertemente influenciadas por las diferencias geográficas y de origen étnico son obstáculos que deben superarse con el n de lograr el empoderamiento económico de todas las mujeres.

Download or read book Job Creation in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Carmen Pag s and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009-06-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a decade has passed since the introduction of comprehensive macroeconomic stabilization packages and trade, fiscal, and financial market reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, growth prospects remain disappointing; labor markets show lackluster performance, with low participation rates, high and persistent informality, and, in some cases, open unemployment. Creating viable and lasting employment is vital to reduce poverty and spread prosperity in the region. The failure to create more and more productive and rewarding jobs carries substantial political, social, and economic costs. 'Job Creation in Latin America and the Caribbean: Recent Trends and Policy Challenges' provides a thorough examination of the labor market trends in the region in recent decades and assesses the role that labor demand and labor supply factors have played in shaping these outcomes.

Download or read book Youth Unemployment and Joblessness written by Alfredo Sánchez-Castañeda and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth unemployment and joblessness are major issues for national governments and international organizations across the globe. In this respect, the school-to-work transition challenge is increasingly raising the interest of companies, education and training institutions, families and young people themselves, who are often involved in precarious and illegal forms of employment, in many countries of the world. In the field of industrial and labour relations, the school-to-work perspective seems particularly suitable for policy formulation and assessment: the broad and complex range of tools, strategies and policies for enabling youth training and their access to the labour market is deserving of a closer analysis at an international level in a time when jobless recovery threatens national economies. The ADAPT LABOUR STUDIES BOOK-SERIES has in connection been set up with a view to achieving a better understanding of the causes, consequences and possible responses to the issue in a global dimension through an interdisciplinary and comparative approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to advance our understanding of the growth patterns of the Latin American economy in the final decades of the 20th century. The paper focuses on the analysis of medium-to-long run growth, as opposed to the standard discussion of the determinants of high frequency fluctuations (business cycles), and disentangles the contribution of factor accumulation and total factor productivity. It also aims to understand the spells of prosperity and stagnation in several important economies of the region, as well as identify stories of growth decline and divergence in recent decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper highlights missing components of current social policies in Latin America that affect the political-economy equilibrium: in particular, the neglect of the middle class as valid subject of social policy, the persistence of income and wealth inequality in a context of moderate growth and the need to put more emphasis on asset accumulation by the poor and the middle class. The paper provides economic and political economy rationales for devising new policies that could correct this neglect. Publishing Agency: United Nations (UN).

Download or read book Social Regionalism in the Global Economy written by Adelle Blackett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional trade agreements have expanded exponentially over the past decade, and have become a significant, if controversial, factor in the expanse of economic globalization. Social Regionalism in the Global Economy attempts to take a fresh, interdisciplinary approach to addressing labour regulation by drawing upon insights from industrial relations, comparative capitalism, and new governance schools of thought. It stands for the proposition that an interdisciplinary study of regional regulation holds the potential to offer a fuller account of social regionalism. Its focus is to consider how institutions and labour market actors reconstruct and renegotiate regulatory space in a changing economic environment characterized by regional impulses. It argues that there is a dynamic interplay between institutions and actors of social regulation. This interplay occurs at many levels. The book therefore maps both how actors shape institutions as well as how institutions shape social actors’ ability to affect regulatory processes. The editors bring together leading international specialists willing to move beyond textual analyses of regional agreements to offer alternative accounts of regional integration. The work emphasizes that institutional context and social actors at multiple governance levels are integral to the progressive construction and regulation of regional space. It further contributes to the literature by combining insights from overlooked regional entities in transition and developing countries with original analyses from the European Union and the NAFTA. These aims will be achieved by combining original research that is empirically grounded with theoretically informed analysis.
