  • Agequakeby Paul Wallace

    Nicholas Brealey Publishing 1999; US$ 15.25

    The demographic foundations that we take for granted - an ever expanding and youthful population - are slipping beneath our feet. As people live longer and fewer children are born, a seismic shift is under way in the age profile of populations: the 'agequake'. The agequake is creating a world where more than half of Western populations will be over 40 but fitter and healthier than ever before, where well-educated workers can have their pick of jobs all over the world, and where the US is the second largest Spanish-speaking country. But it is also a world where house prices no longer rise inexorably, where governments are forced to renege on their pension commitments and where we could face the biggest bear market in history. more...

  • Tracking Gender Equity Under Economic Reformsby Swapna Mukhopadhyay; Ratna M. Sudarshan

    International Development Research Centre 2003; US$ 15.00

    By expanding the existing set of indicators to include gender-related stress, anxiety, and violence, this book introduces a new framework for gender research. The viability of this new approach is demonstrated through a coordinated set of household surveys, carried out in Export Processing Zones and Export Processing Units, designed for intercountry comparisons between Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. This book is unique in its examination of both ?conventional? and ?nonconventional? indicators of gender disparity, and in its attempts to see how both may be affected by changes in macroeconomic policy. While ?conventional? indicators include such variables as education, employment, and health status, on which official data are usually... more...
