Matthew Bishop: Rethinking What We Measure at Closing the Gap December 8 2015

socprog

March 23, 2015 MC C2-131, World Bank HQ When and how does economic growth lead to real improvements in peoples' lives? The Social Progress Index has been designed to answer that question, measuring the performance of countries based on exclusively social and environmental indicators. Michael Green, Executive Director of the Social Progress Imperative, will explain how the Index measures the inclusiveness of 132 countries and how it is being used by governments, businesses and civil society organizations to drive change.

Date: Thursday, October 29, 2015 Time: 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. (ET) Location: Preston Auditorium, World Bank Group HQ & Online How do we measure development? The Social Progress Index (SPI) was launched in 2013 as a holistic approach to benchmarking countries’ social performance, independent of economic measures. The SPI has been widely taken up on a global basis in evaluating national performance, and sub-national indices are proliferating at the regional and city level. In this lecture, Professor Porter will describe the insights that the SPI provides about the relationship between economic development and social progress, along with exploring the implications for development thinking and how the World Bank can best deliver on its “shared prosperity” goal.

ExpoGestão

Medellín, conhecida na década de 1990 como a cidade mais violenta do mundo, é hoje incensada como capital mundial de inovação, do empreendedorismo e da participação cidadã, com inúmeros prêmios concedidos por instituições do naipe do The Wall Street Journal e do Citi. A cidade, que se tornou um caso de referência global de transformação urbana, social e econômica, não se contentou em fazer essa virada de 180 graus e busca mais. Agora, Medellín está se reinventando para se tornar um polo mundial de inteligência, humana e artificial e um centro de excelência para o futuro do trabalho. Na base desse processo está o desenvolvimento de um ecossistema reunindo negócios, talentos e capital, que enfatiza a preparação dos jovens para o futuro de trabalho e entende que inovação só faz sentido quando contribui para a competitividade das empresas e a qualidade de vida das pessoas. Para nos mostrar as grandes linhas desse processo, que podemos referenciar como “inovação sistêmica”, a ExpoGestão tem o prazer de provocar inspirações com a presença da Ruta N. Considerada uma das dez empresas mais inovadoras da América Latina – e a única pública -, pela FastCompany, a Ruta N é o centro de inovação e negócios de Medellín, criada em 2009 com a ambição de abrir oportunidades para mais e melhores empregos com base tecnológica e aumentar a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos. Em menos de uma década a empresa se tornou o coração do Distrito de Inovação da cidade, polo de atração para empreendedores de todo o mundo – inclusive do Brasil – e ícone de metas ambiciosas, respaldadas por entregas consistentes. Dentre elas, o “Pacto pela Inovação”, que já envolve 49% das empresas da cidade, vem gerando não apenas aumento de vendas e redução de custos operacionais, mas 27% de novos empregos vinculados à inovação. Engenheiro de Produção, com especialização em Negociação e Relações Internacionais e Mestrado em Marketing pela Universidade de Barcelona, realizou também estudos de Transformação Digital e Plataformas na Sloan School of Management do MIT. Antes de se unir à Ruta N, acumulou vasta experiência no desenvolvimento de negócios e no fortalecimento das indústrias digitais e criativas e atuou no Vale do Silício por três anos como representante comercial da Procolombia, além de ter liderado a estratégia de internacionalização do setor de tecnologia da Colômbia, entre 2009 e 2012. Prestou consultorias para mais de 30 empresas de tecnologia e foi docente em diferentes universidades de seu país, semeando conhecimento, experiência e sonhos.

See the video of this presentation here: http://www.tedxthessaloniki.com/talk_video/makes-good-society-case-study-greece-michael-green/ In his talk, Michael Green presents the findings of his research regarding the Social Progress Index in Greece. Traditionally, happiness is measured in terms of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and it is believed that the higher the GDP is, the happier the people are. This is not the case though. What he tells us is that money does not bring happiness. It is other factors that make a society happy, that make a society a “good society”. In order to measure happiness he takes into account three key areas of well-being, i.e. human basic needs, foundations of well-being, and opportunity. His research showed that the position of Greece is relatively high in the Social Progress Index. Green tells his audience that social progress depends on our choices, not GDP, and urges everyone to “choose to live in good societies where everyone has the opportunity not just to survive, but to thrive”.

This social progress index offers distinct and equally important insight that will be critically helpful in empowering the largest generation ever in their transition from childhood to adulthood.

Findings from the Social Progress Index: US States

socprog

The Social Progress Index: US States is an objective, transparent measure that compares quality of life in all 50 states. The Social Progress Index is meant to complement, not replace, economic measures like GDP per capita and Median Household Income. These measures only tell half the story about what life is really like for ordinary Americans. The Social Progress Index™ highlights the issues and the individuals that are invisible when only looking at changes in the economy. The Social Progress Imperative, a US-based nonprofit, created the index to help local officials, businesses and community organizations understand how well people are truly living, how economic changes are affecting quality of life, and what improvements can have the greatest impact on society.

Aunque existe una estrecha relación entre el desempeño económico, medido por el PIB PPA per cápita, 1 y el desempeño en el Índice de Progreso Social, algunos países logran un nivel de progreso social mucho más alto en comparación con países con un PIB per cápita similar. Por ejemplo, Nepal logra un puntaje de 60.08 en el índice de Progreso Social, con un PIB per cápita de $2,312, mientras que Yemen, con un PIB per cápita de $2,649 logra apenas un 43.46. El Índice demuestra que el crecimiento económico no es suficiente para el progreso social. Países y comunidades que quieren mejores vidas para sus ciudadanos necesitan ir más allá del crecimiento económico a la hora de diseñar sus estrategias de desarrollo.

2017 Social Progress Index Findings Presentation

socprog

The 2017 Social Progress Index launched June 21. Though there is a strong relationship between economic performance, as measured by GDP PPP per capita, and performance on the Social Progress Index, some countries achieve much higher social progress relative to countries with similar GDP per capita. For example, Nepal scores 60.08 on the Social Progress Index with a GDP per capita of $2,312, while Yemen, with a GDP per capita of $2,649, scores only 43.46. The Index demonstrates that economic growth is not sufficient for social progress. Countries and communities that want better lives for their citizens need to go beyond economic growth alone in designing their development strategies.

Do Linguistics Still Matter in the Age of Large Language Models.pptx

Slator- Language Industry Intelligence

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs). The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
