This document discusses the role of Joint Sector Reviews (JSRs) in supporting the Malabo Biennial Review process for mutual accountability in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). It defines mutual accountability and outlines the principles and roadmap for undertaking JSRs at the country level. JSRs create a platform to assess agricultural sector performance, results, and implementation of commitments. The document also discusses the initiation process for country JSRs, partnerships to support JSR implementation, progress on JSR assessments, and the processes for JSR reporting and reviews at the country, regional, and continental levels to feed into the Malabo Biennial Review.
This document introduces the "AgPER Lite" approach for conducting regular, lighter and quicker annual public expenditure analyses in agriculture to support better budgeting and policy decisions. Key points:
- AgPER Lite analyses would focus on major expenditure changes and currently debated issues, using up-to-date data from a reliable source.
- The analyses would have separate sections for data/trends (updated annually) and a re-written key analysis section each year.
- 2-3 agricultural expenditure "issues" would be selected each year related to policy effectiveness and linked to performance reviews or budget preparation.
- The analyses could be conducted with around 3 months effort by 3 people per year, establishing reusable data

The document discusses how an aging population in Western Newfoundland may impact ambulance services in the region. It analyzed over 4,000 ambulance dispatch records and found that 77% were for patients aged 55 and older. Most common dispatch reasons were for non-emergency transport rather than urgent medical needs. Population data showed centralization around larger urban centers as rural communities declined. The influx of elderly will strain healthcare resources unless plans are made. Geographic information systems (GIS) was used to map trends to help plan efficient ambulance dispatch center placement.

This document discusses key concepts in demography and population dynamics. It begins by defining demography as the scientific study of human populations with respect to their size, structure, and changes. It then outlines the three main variables that affect population change: fertility, mortality, and migration. The document goes on to provide examples of factors studied by demographers like age of death, age of mother at first birth, gender distribution of newborns, and their impacts on population. It also discusses major sources of population data and concepts in censuses.
This document summarizes a presentation on wage inequality and structural change in transition countries. It discusses that income inequality rose greatly in transition countries during their shift to market economies. However, most studies on the topic look at household income levels rather than individual wages. This study develops measures of earned income inequality using individual wage data from over 1600 datasets across 31 transition countries. It finds that wage inequality increased immediately as transition countries moved away from communism, with the lower half of wages decompressing rapidly. However, over time there was a very slow trend towards lower dispersion of earnings.
The document discusses various sources of public health data in epidemiology. It describes census data as the largest source providing comprehensive demographic, social and economic data. It also discusses registration of vital events like births and deaths which provides continuous health information if complete. However, registration in India is unreliable. The document then describes the sample registration system, a large demographic survey used as an alternative to the deficient civil registration system in India. It continuously enumerates births and deaths to provide annual estimates.

It discusses the objectives of the survey which were to ascertain public perceptions of independent commissions, institutions, and governance processes. It outlines the survey methodology, including a sample size of 1,500 respondents across 25 counties, with a margin of error of +/- 2.5. It also discusses the survey findings, including Kenyans being proud of their country due to culture, peace and freedom but some youths not being proud due to issues like unemployment, corruption, and tribalism. The document analyzes Kenyans' values and main sources of information.
This document outlines key trends that will impact future international migration patterns and discusses them in the context of new challenges and opportunities. It identifies shifting global wealth, demographics, technology, public policies, environment, and conflict as major trends. The document explores how each trend could affect migration flows and development. It also notes that scenario analysis is needed to understand how trends may combine and offset each other. The discussion aims to identify critical issues policymakers should consider regarding migration's future impacts.

This document summarizes population trends in the UK and how population is measured and mapped from national to local scales. It discusses key trends like population growth, aging population, and geographical variation. It also describes how the census and other administrative data are used to measure and understand population changes and challenges in counting population in the future with fewer resources.
Population data provides vital information for studying human populations and making decisions regarding social and economic issues. It is collected through population censuses, sample surveys, and vital registration. A population census counts all individuals in a defined geographic area to collect demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. It is usually conducted every 10 years and is the primary source of population data in many countries, including Ethiopia's three censuses in 1984, 1994, and 2007. Sample surveys collect data from a sample of the population and can provide more detailed information than censuses. Vital registration continuously records life events like births and deaths from official documents. While valuable sources of data, censuses and surveys still face challenges to data quality from issues like inadequate funding
This document summarizes a survey conducted in Uzbekistan called Listening to the Citizens of Uzbekistan (L2CU). The survey was a collaborative effort between the World Bank and Development Strategy Center to monitor citizens' views and well-being as reforms are introduced. It involved a baseline survey of 4,000 households to collect data on consumption, income, and views, as well as monthly follow-up surveys with 1,500 households and qualitative focus groups. The methodology section describes how questionnaires were developed with ministerial guidance and how data was collected through in-person and phone surveys using tablets. Key findings showed employment and incomes recovering in June after declines due to COVID-19, but still below pre-pandemic levels,
Gender indicators and sex disaggregated datanavaneetarath
Collecting and analyzing sex-disaggregated data is important for integrating gender in research and policy. It allows researchers to identify quantitative differences between women and men in areas like health status, education levels, employment and income. Without sex-disaggregated data, the unique needs of different gender groups may be overlooked. National and international organizations have recognized the importance of gender indicators and statistics since the 1970s. Proper methods are needed to ensure sex-disaggregated data is collected accurately from both female and male respondents.

This document discusses differing views on child labour and proposes more nuanced policies. While child labour is often seen as inherently harmful, it also provides economic and social benefits for children in some contexts. Strict age limits and definitions of child labour may push children into more dangerous, invisible work and fail to protect working children. Effective policies should focus on enforcing children's rights as workers, protecting them from exploitation based on work conditions rather than age alone, and enabling education through improving quality and reducing costs.
This document summarizes a paper on independent child migration and education in sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that independent child migrants have agency in their migration decisions and migration is not always detrimental to their education. Some migrate for better educational opportunities or to earn money to finance their education. While work can hinder schooling, some children are able to access education at their destination, such as through the help of employers. The paper calls for policies that recognize independent child migrants' unique situations and needs, such as educational support for those already in school.
The document discusses how remittances impact the capacity of Bangladeshi youth to aspire by exploring how remittances influence education, occupation, and migration aspirations, finding that while remittances increase opportunities, norms strongly circumscribe aspirations, especially for females. It calls for programs to help youth leverage remittances for skills and mainstreaming female participation in development.
Footprints of Agency and Space for Self-assertion: Adolescent Girls’ Migratio...Migrating out of Poverty
The document discusses adolescent girls' migration in Bangladesh. It finds that while poverty is a main driver, the decision to migrate is complex, with girls claiming some ownership over the choice. Migration allows for personal growth and more control over life trajectories for some. Increased time spent in cities can open up spaces for self-assertion, though vulnerabilities remain for new migrants with little support. The document calls for interventions to address vulnerabilities, such as safe spaces, challenging gender norms, and improving migrants' access to services.
1) Taiwan relies heavily on migrant labor, with over 600,000 migrant workers as of 2016, mainly from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
2) Female migrant workers outnumber male migrant workers and most female migrants work as caretakers and domestic helpers.
3) Civil society groups have petitioned the Taiwanese government to pass a Domestic Workers Protection Act to better protect the rights of migrant domestic workers, but the bill remains stalled in the legislative process.
Adults-in-the-making: Intergenerational impact of parental migration on youn...Migrating out of Poverty
This document discusses a study on the intergenerational impacts of parental migration on the aspirational capacity of young Indonesian women. It interviews 29 women aged 15-24 in Ponorogo, East Java. One participant, Sari, discussed reworking her definition of success to prioritize supporting her family through potential overseas domestic work, rather than solely through education. The study finds that parental migration and remittances shape children's educational and career aspirations by influencing what opportunities they see as available or realistic. It calls for policies to support current migrants' access to education and protect worker rights.
This document summarizes Katharina Bamberg's research on the agency of refugee women fleeing to Germany. The research aims to examine refugee women's narratives of their journeys to Germany in order to understand how they exercised agency before, during, and after fleeing. Bamberg conducted interviews with 13 refugee/asylum seeking women and analyzed them using an interpretative phenomenological approach. The findings show that women expressed agency in varied individual ways and that the ability to exercise agency changed depending on their circumstances in different stages of flight. Family considerations and gendered access to mobility also influenced women's agency.
No choice or no chance? Decision-making and narratives of migration among Eri...Migrating out of Poverty
This document summarizes research on the migration experiences of adolescent girls from Eritrea and Ethiopia living in Khartoum, Sudan. Through qualitative interviews and surveys with 48 Eritrean and 16 Ethiopian girls, the research found that the girls made independent decisions to migrate for reasons beyond exploitation, including poverty, family circumstances like parental death, and aspirations for greater freedom and opportunity. While gender norms and constraints still impacted their agency, the girls demonstrated "thin agency" in making choices to improve their lives rather than viewing themselves solely as victims. The research highlights the need for policies that recognize girls' decision-making capacities and provide support services and livelihood options in both origin and destination countries.
The document discusses the sedentarization of the Beni Amer tribe in eastern Sudan. Conflict and violence caused them to lose their pastoral lands and cattle, forcing them to settle in cities like Kassala to survive. This transition was difficult as it required adjusting to urban life, education systems, and cash-based economies. While cities provided access to services, living costs are high and many struggle financially. Some consider emigrating to Europe in search of better opportunities, but the journey is dangerous as some get trapped by human traffickers. Overall the document examines the factors forcing this tribe's sedentarization and the challenges of adapting to urban life.

This document summarizes research on the use of migration as a coping strategy for households affected by Hurricane Mitch in Nicaragua in 1998. The research finds: (1) Exposure to high rainfall levels from the hurricane only increased the probability of migration abroad for members of agricultural households; (2) International migration to the US and Canada was preferred over regional migration when households had the assets to cover migration costs; and (3) Remittance flows from abroad were an effective long-term recovery strategy, particularly for improving the asset base of agricultural households.
Social networks, dreams and risks: Ethiopian irregular migrants into South Af...Migrating out of Poverty
The document summarizes research on irregular Ethiopian migrants to South Africa. It finds that financial and material success stories shared through social media and wedding videos stimulate migration dreams in Ethiopia despite risks. Interviews revealed dangerous smuggling journeys and poor treatment in South Africa due to xenophobia. While technology connects migrants to home, physical separation remains. The research implies migration will continue due to pulls and pushes despite risks, and cracking down on smugglers may worsen the situation rather than addressing root causes. Managing dreams and expanding legal migration options could help address the issue.

The document summarizes a study on the life circumstances of sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco under the country's new 2013 migration policy. Key findings of the study include:
1) Migrants live with extreme vulnerability and in precarious conditions, often begging in the streets, living in overcrowded rooms without basic amenities.
2) While the 2013 policy aimed to improve migrants' rights, in reality migrants still lack formal job opportunities and access to healthcare, education, and face exploitation and racism.
3) Migrants depend heavily on social networks and NGO assistance to access services and support due to lack of protection from authorities. Many remain in illegality, invisibility, and neglect.
This document discusses precarious employment in the UK and efforts to address it through the Immigration Act of 2016. It analyzes provisions in the Act relating to illegal working offenses, restricted access to services, and labor market enforcement. It also examines ensuring economic security for migrant workers, including securing back pay and minimum wages as well as access to redress mechanisms. Finally, it calls for reducing precarity and upholding migrant workers' right to non-exploitative work through cooperation between enforcement bodies and raising awareness.

INCOME AND REMITTANCES RESEARCH THEME
ASMELASH HAILE
2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
• To understand whether and to what extent migrant-
sending households benefit from migration by explicitly
identifying the counterfactual scenario;
• The welfare level that might have been enjoyed by the
household if they had not experienced any migration
3. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
• How much does household welfare improve as a
result of members migrating?
• How important are remittances in ensuring
migration benefits migrant-sending households?
• What are the important drivers of migrant
intentions?
4. METHODOLOGY
• The methodology will draw largely on quantitative analysis of longitudinal household survey
data, specifically a two wave panel data set from four regions of the country. First round was
collected in 2004
• We will follow up same households and track if there is any moved households.
• Focus will be made only on quantitative analysis (econometric analysis). However we are
planning to complement this with qualitative analysis (interview with migrants at destination).
• Cross country comparison and supplementary research (South Africa, Zimbabwe and Ghana)
• We would seek to test alternative econometric methodologies to show the stability of results to
choices around how we control for non-random selection of migrants. In addition the data
would allow us to provide a richer description of the dynamics of migration patterns, remittance
flows, technologies and behaviour in each country.
5. DATA
• Panel household data from 1200 randomly selected
households
• Ethiopia labour force survey was used to select
enumerations areas stratified as high migrant and non
migrant areas woredas
• First data was collected in 2004
• Secondary data will be used to supplement our data
(Ethiopia labour force survey and WB Migration survey)
6. EXPECTED OUTPUTS
•Academic research papers
•Policy briefs
•Fill research gap on migration in Ethiopia
•Fill data gap in the country
•Public data to policy makers and
researchers
