Abstract

15 procent van de Belgen leeft onder de armoedegrens. Meer dan 20 procent van de Brusselaars leeft in armoede. Eén op 20 Brusselaars is afhankelijk van OCMW-steun. Meer dan een vierde van hen leeft in een huishouden zonder betaald werk, of in een huishouden dat de gezondheidszorgen uitstelt omwille van financiële redenen. En het Brusselse armoedebeleid? De aanbevelingen uit de Brusselse armoederapporten bleven al te vaak dode letter. In 2005 verscheen er geen Brussels rapport meer. Dit boek zet armoede terug op de politieke agenda. Het schetst een beeld van de armoede in Brussel vanuit verschillende invalshoeken: van onderzoekers, Brusselse welzijnsorganisaties, straathoekwerkers, armoedeorganisaties en van mensen die zelf in armoede leven. Een tweetalig nood-armoederapport voor Brussel, én een voorstel tot aanpak: een 'Brussels Urgentieplan Armoedebestrijding' (Bron : achterflap boek)

Abstract

Over the past decade, the World Bank has evolved its analysis and reporting on poverty to a multi-dimensional view which includes issues of vulnerability, social isolation, and powerlessness. This broader construct, which considers the concepts of social exclusion and social capital, suggests the need for augmenting quantitative research with qualitative research. Qualitative research provides a focus on understanding human behaviour, perceptions and practices that can then be applied to policy development. This report presents specific examples drawn from World Bank work completed in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Each of these examples illustrates the gains that can be derived from combining the use of quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Abstract

This DAC Reference Paper outlines key issues faced when designing Environmental Fiscal Reform (EFR). EFR refers to a range of taxation and pricing measures which can raise fiscal revenues while furthering environmental goals. The objective is to provide insights and “good practice” on how development co-operation agencies can help developing countries take advantage of EFR approaches in both their development and poverty reduction strategies. Following a review of the instruments of EFR and related technical issues, Environmental Fiscal Reform for Poverty Reduction focuses on the political economy and governance aspects of EFR. This includes an examination of the precondition for successful design and implementation, the various steps involved through the EFR Policy Cycle, the challenges faced at each stage, and the main stakeholders involved. The role of donors in supporting EFR processes is also outlined. Subsequently, these issues are reviewed in relation to sectors of particular relevance for developing countries: forestry, fisheries, fossil fuel, electricity, drinking water and industrial pollution control.

Abstract

This book is about inequality, how the State affects distribution through its spending programmes and through taxation, and what the public thinks of these three issues. It describes and analyses one of the biggest social changes in Britain since the Second World War: the dramatic widening of the income distribution since the end of the 1970s, the growth of poverty, and the factors that have driven them. And it examines how government social spending and the taxes that pay for itaffect this distribution, and why they take the forms they do. Each part of the discussion is set in the context of
