Download or read book Los sistemas de pensiones en la encrucijada written by Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and published by United Nations. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los sistemas de pensiones se han ubicado en el centro del debate sobre la protección social y, debido a los elevados compromisos de gasto público que generan, son también un eje fundamental de la política fiscal en la región. En la actualidad, cerca de 50 millones de personas en América Latina tienen 65 años o más; en 2065, alrededor de 200 millones de personas conformarán dicho grupo etario, lo que consolidará a los sistemas de pensiones como una de las principales fuentes de gasto público y uno de los ejes más importantes de las políticas de protección social. Este libro expone los desafíos de la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de pensiones. Dicha sostenibilidad es un concepto integral que incluye al menos tres dimensiones: la cobertura adecuada, la suficiencia de las prestaciones y la sostenibilidad financiera. Encontrar el equilibrio entre estas tres dimensiones, sin que ninguna de ellas ponga en riesgo a las demás, será fundamental para asegurar una senda de sostenibilidad para los sistemas de pensiones en América Latina. La encrucijada de los sistemas de pensiones en América Latina responde a una perspectiva más amplia sobre protección social que requiere alcanzar la sostenibilidad considerando a la vez los desafíos que representan el desacelerado crecimiento económico, el envejecimiento de la población, la informalidad de los mercados laborales y las brechas de género presentes en la región.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La producción intelectual de la CEPAL en sus 70 años de existencia ha sido vasta en distintos ámbitos del desarrollo. En este libro se analizan y contextualizan los principales hitos e ideas del pensamiento económico de la CEPAL sobre recursos naturales, medio ambiente y sostenibilidad, organizados en las dos grandes etapas que han caracterizado la vida institucional: la estructuralista (1948-1990) y la neoestructuralista (de 1990 en adelante). A partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, se destacan ideas como el vínculo entre la especialización productiva en recursos naturales y los términos de intercambio desfavorables, formulada en los años cincuenta; la soberanía sobre los recursos naturales, en los sesenta; la enunciación temprana del principio de responsabilidades comunes pero diferenciadas, en los setenta; los estilos de desarrollo y medio ambiente, en los ochenta; la competitividad espuria, en los noventa, y la gobernanza de los recursos naturales, el estilo de desarrollo sostenible con igualdad y el gran impulso ambiental, en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI. El pensamiento neoestructuralista de la CEPAL es dinámico, abierto y se renueva permanentemente sin perder su tradición estructuralista. El libro aporta también elementos conceptuales para formular un neoestructuralismo ecológico.

Download or read book The New Latin America written by Fernando Calderón and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has experienced a profound transformation in the first two decades of the 21st century: it has been fully incorporated into the global economy, while excluding regions and populations devalued by the logic of capitalism. Technological modernization has gone hand-in-hand with the reshaping of old identities and the emergence of new ones. The transformation of Latin America has been shaped by social movements and political conflicts. The neoliberal model that dominated the first stage of the transformation induced widespread inequality and poverty, and triggered social explosions that led to its own collapse. A new model, neo-developmentalism, emerged from these crises as national populist movements were elected to government in several countries. The more the state intervened in the economy, the more it became vulnerable to corruption, until the rampant criminal economy came to penetrate state institutions. Upper middle classes defending their privileges and citizens indignant because of corruption of the political elites revolted against the new regimes, undermining the model of neo-developmentalism. In the midst of political disaffection and public despair, new social movements, women, youth, indigenous people, workers, peasants, opened up avenues of hope against the background of darkness invading the continent. This book, written by two leading scholars of Latin America, provides a comprehensive and up-do-date account of the new Latin America that is in the process of taking shape today. It will be an indispensable text for students and scholars in Latin American Studies, sociology, politics and media and communication studies, and anyone interested in Latin America today.

This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 2019 el desempeño del comercio mundial de bienes sería el peor desde la crisis financiera. En esta edición de Perspectivas del Comercio Internacional de América Latina y el Caribe se analiza dicho fenómeno, así como las crecientes tensiones comerciales y las repercusiones en el comercio regional. La fuerte desaceleración del comercio mundial responde tanto a la acumulación de barreras comerciales desde 2018 como a otros factores de más larga data. Entre estos se destacan la menor demanda mundial, la creciente sustitución de importaciones por producción nacional en algunas economías, la menor proporción de la producción china que se destina a la exportación, el retroceso de las cadenas globales de valor y la irrupción de nuevas tecnologías que causan un impacto en la naturaleza misma del comercio. En el capítulo II se analiza la forma en que el comercio internacional puede hacer un mayor aporte a la sostenibilidad ambiental. Los vínculos entre comercio y medioambiente se han hecho más visibles desde los años noventa, como muestra el aumento de las controversias comerciales vinculadas con aspectos ambientales y la creciente incorporación de capítulos ambientales en los acuerdos comerciales. Por último, en el capítulo III se examina la situación de la infraestructura y la logística, aspectos clave para el comercio internacional y la producción. Se concluye destacando la necesidad de reexaminar las políticas públicas en materia de concesiones de infraestructura económica y el rol central de la acción regulatoria del Estado, especialmente en el ámbito de la competencia.
