Abstract

In 2013, a second High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development (HLD) will be held, presenting the international community with a critical opportunity to focus its attention on how to make migration work for development and poverty reduction. The HLD takes place at an important time, as the international community is seeking to formulate a new agenda for global development as we approach the target year of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015. The World Migration Report 2013 contributes to the global debate on migration and development in three ways: First, the focus of the report is on the migrant, and on how migration affects a person’s well-being. Many reports on migration and development focus on the impact of remittances: the money that migrants send back home. This report takes a different approach, exploring how migration affects a person’s quality of life and their human development across a broad range of dimensions. Second, the report draws upon the findings of a unique source of data – the Gallup World Poll surveys, conducted in more than 150 countries, to assess the well-being of migrants worldwide for the first time. Third, the report sheds new light on how migrants rate their lives, whether they live in a highincome country in the North, or a low or middle income country in the South. Traditionally the focus has been on those migrating from lower income countries to more affluent ones; this report considers movements in all four migration pathways and their implications for development i.e. migration from the South to North, between countries of the South or between countries of the North, as well as movements from the North to the South.

Abstract

Sinds 2004 heeft het SCP onderzoek gedaan naar het vóórkomen en de oorzaken van sociale uitsluiting, zowel onder de gehele bevolking als bij bepaalde groepen (ouderen, kinderen). De vragenlijst die hiervoor werd gebruikt, is op grond van ervaring en nieuwe inzichten regelmatig aangepast. Het meetinstrument omvatte echter nog steeds veel vragen en kende daarnaast enkele technische beperkingen. Kon er geen verbeterde en beknoptere versie van de vragenlijst worden ontwikkeld? Met behulp van focusgroepen en cognitieve tests is eerst onderzocht of het meetinstrument de verschillende aspecten van sociale uitsluiting goed dekt. Bestaande vragen zijn op grond hiervan geherformuleerd en aangevuld. De vernieuwde lijst werd daarna voorgelegd aan een steekproef van bijna 650 personen. Analyse van de uitkomsten heeft geleid tot een handzaam en valide meetinstrument van vijftien vragen, waarmee het SCP in de toekomst sociale uitsluiting bij volwassenen periodiek in kaart zal brengen.

Abstract

This book contributes to the empirical literature on economic and human development from five different perspectives: the first chapter provides a new statistical test for bimodality of densities with an application to income data. The second chapter analyzes the worlds cross-country distribution of income and challenges the so called Twin Peaks-claim. The third chapter focuses on the world income distribution and resulting implications for poverty reduction, pro-poor growth and the evolution of global inequality. The fourth chapter estimates the welfare effects of recently negotiated Economic Partnership Agreements between the EU and African countries. Finally, the fifth chapter investigates whether democracy leads to higher levels of health and education.

Abstract

Too often, services fail poor people-in access, in quality, and in affordability. But the fact that there are striking examples where basic services such as water, sanitation, health, education, and electricity do work for poor people means that governments and citizens can do a better job of providing them. Learning from success and understanding the sources of failure, this year's World Development Report, argues that services can be improved by putting poor people at the center of service provision. How? By enabling the poor to monitor and discipline service providers, by amplifying their voice in policymaking, and by strengthening the incentives for providers to serve the poor. Freedom from illness and freedom from illiteracy are two of the most important ways poor people can escape from poverty. To achieve these goals, economic growth and financial resources are of course necessary, but they are not enough. The World Development Report provides a practical framework for making the services that contribute to human development work for poor people. With this framework, citizens, governments, and donors can take action and accelerate progress toward the common objective of poverty reduction, as specified in the Millennium Development Goals.

Abstract

Vlaamse steden worden steeds kleurrijker. Een evolutie die heel wat vragen oproept over het integratieproces en de sociale cohesie in onze samenleving. Hoeveel contact hebben autochtonen en allochtonen met elkaar? In welke mate verschillen hun waardeoriëntaties? En welke impact hebben die factoren op de wederzijdse beeldvorming, discriminatiegevoelens en het vertrouwen in de overheid? Om op die vragen een antwoord te kunnen geven, trokken de auteurs (Universiteit Hasselt) naar Antwerpen, Gent en Genk. Daar interviewden ze 960 inwoners van Turkse, Marokkaanse en Vlaamse afkomst. Op basis van de verzamelde informatie analyseren de onderzoekers in dit boek hoe autochtonen en allochtonen het samenleven in Vlaanderen ervaren. Ze brengen de sociaal-culturele afstand tussen autochtonen en allochtonen in kaart, sporen de factoren op die deze afstand verklaren en analyseren de impact ervan op de sociale cohesie
