Download or read book Envejecer con cuidado written by Gianluca Cafagna and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En América Latina y el Caribe más de ocho millones de adultos mayores no pueden llevar a cabo de manera independiente al menos una actividad básica de la vida diaria, como bañarse, comer, o acostarse y levantarse de la cama. Es lo que se conoce como dependencia funcional, que afecta al 12% de las personas de 60 años o más de nuestra región, y a casi el 27% de los que tienen 80 años o más. En los próximos 30 años, la demanda de servicios de atención a la dependencia superará al triple de la actual, debido principalmente al envejecimiento poblacional y a la transición epidemiológica. Además, se reducirá la oferta tradicional de servicios de atención, basada principalmente en el trabajo no remunerado de las mujeres de la familia. Estos escenarios obligan a las sociedades y a los gobiernos de la región a prepararse para apoyar a las personas con dependencia y sus cuidadores y, al hacerlo, avanzar en la agenda de género. Es necesario empezar a construir sistemas de atención a la dependencia y hay que hacerlo ahora. Esta publicación responde a cinco preguntas clave para los países de la región que quieren comenzar a transitar este camino: 1) ¿Por qué la atención a la dependencia no puede esperar?; 2) ¿Cómo se diseña un sistema de atención a la dependencia?; 3) ¿Qué están haciendo los países de la región?; 4) ¿Cuánto nos costaría un sistema de atención a la dependencia?; 5) ¿Por dónde debemos empezar? Se trata de la primera publicación del BID interactiva y accesible para el mayor número posible de personas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4% of Latin America and the Caribbean’s GDP comes from the extractive sector. This figure is equivalent to the amount generated by agriculture in the same region. An effective engagement between governments, companies, and civil society is required to propel sustainable development. With this regional diagnosis of countries rich in natural resources like Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, the IDB seeks to shed light on best practices among stakeholders of the extractive sectors. It focuses in actions of information, dialogues, consultations, collaborations, and partnerships that are driving development in the region. From the findings of the diagnosis, 3 roadmaps were drafted, to guide the stakeholders in strengthening their engagement.

Download or read book Abortion and Democracy written by Barbara Sutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.
