- Africa’s Pulse: Why Tackling Inequality is Essential for Growth
- Date posted
- 18 days ago
- Description
- Did you know that Sub-Saharan Africa is the most unequal region in the world after Latin America and the Caribbean? Beyond income disparities, unequal access to public services and unfair rules of the game in the marketplace conspire to hold people back and limit their potential to participate fully in the economy. In this discussion of the Africa’s Pulse – a biannual snapshot of economic trends in the region, speakers from the World Bank, Oxfam and academia will debate the role that inequality plays in constraining growth and invite viewers to imagine a future where each person is allowed to be as productive and prosperous as they would like to be.

- Date posted
- 18 days ago
- Description
- Saviez-vous que l’Afrique est la région la plus inégalitaire au monde après la région Amérique latine et Caraïbes ? Au-delà des disparités de revenus, l’inégalité d’accès aux services publics et l’iniquité des règles du jeu sur le marché concourent à freiner les personnes et à limiter les possibilités pour elles de participer pleinement à l’économie. Au cours de cette table ronde consacrée à « Africa’s Pulse », un instantané semestriel de l’évolution économique dans la région, des représentants de la Banque mondiale, d’Oxfam et du monde universitaire débattront du frein que constituent les inégalités pour la croissance, et amèneront les participants à imaginer un avenir où chaque individu a la latitude d’être aussi productif et prospère qu’il le souhaiterait. http://wrld.bg/mOxj50R7Xvf

- Climate and Health Impacts in Madagascar

- Description
- As the global climate crisis escalates, its devastating impacts on human health and well-being will also accelerate. No one anywhere around the globe is beyond its reach, though millions of people – notably, women, children, the elderly, ethnic minorities, people with pre-existing health conditions, and those living in poverty – are among the most vulnerable. Unabated climate change is also expected to make the global goal of poverty reduction even more challenging to reach. A recent World Bank study estimates that climate change may push an additional 132 million people (more than half of whom live in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia), into extreme poverty by 2030, with 44 million of these driven by health impacts. In Madagascar, this World Bank project helps lifts people out of extreme poverty with cash transfers, nutrition services and skills training.

Still, only 10% of Iraqi women who want to work actively search for opportunities. A World Bank study in 2021 about social norms related to women’s work found that men may underestimate the level of support the community in Baghdad, Nineveh, and Basra have for women’s work. 35% of men believe that others in the community accept women’s work, whereas in reality, 73% of men are OK with it.

- Women, Business and the Law 2024 is a series of annual studies that measures the enabling conditions that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. This study presents three indexes: legal frameworks, supportive frameworks (policies, institutions, services, data, budget, and access to justice), and expert opinions on women’s rights in practice in the areas measured. The study’s 10 indicators—Safety, Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Childcare, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension—are structured around the different stages of a woman’s working life. Findings from this new research can inform policy discussions to ensure women’s full and equal participation in the economy. The indicators build evidence of the critical relationship between legal gender equality and women’s employment and entrepreneurship.
