Mexico is a nation with strengths like a stable economy, proximity to the US, tourism potential, and a young workforce, but also faces challenges such as uneven economic growth among states, lack of infrastructure, and high poverty levels. While Mexico has the 15th largest economy globally and potential to reach 8th by 2050, its competitiveness has not improved since 2005 due to low productivity and weak rule of law. The country produces many engineers but education quality lags behind international standards. Mexico also enjoys a strategic location and trade agreements but must address issues like insecurity, corruption and lack of opportunities that drive many to seek better lives abroad.
Mexico is a nation with both strengths and areas for improvement. It has a stable economy, a growing middle class, and proximity to the US market. However, it also faces challenges like inequality, violence, lack of infrastructure investment, and low productivity growth. Mexico has potential for the future due to its young population, skilled workforce, cultural attractions, and strategic geographic position between North and Latin America. Overall, Mexico remains a nation of contrasts with both opportunities and challenges to address.

This document is the second issue of the UNICEF Innocenti Report Card, which analyzes data on child well-being in industrialized nations. It finds that injury is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14 in all developed countries, accounting for around 20,000 deaths per year. The report ranks countries based on their child injury death rates, with Sweden having the lowest rate and the United States and Portugal having rates over twice as high as the top countries. Reducing injury deaths in all countries to Sweden's level could prevent around 12,000 child deaths annually.

This document discusses how demographic and social changes, as well as other megatrends like rapid urbanization and technological breakthroughs, are disrupting businesses globally and locally. It provides nine facts about each of these megatrends, showing how populations are growing and aging differently around the world. This is reshaping consumer markets and requiring governments and companies to adapt their policies and business models. Technological innovations in particular are transforming industries and blurring sector boundaries through new digital platforms and business models. Understanding these trends is crucial for organizations to engage customers and remain relevant in a fast-changing world.
The document discusses global population trends and their impact on demographics and marketing from 2010 to 2050. Some key points:
- World population is expected to peak at 8.9 billion in 2068 before declining as birth rates fall. However, populations will age differently in each country.
- The number of people aged 0-14 will decline in places like China and India but grow in African nations. Those aged 15-64, who make up the workforce, will shrink in China, Japan, and Russia but expand greatly in India, Nigeria, and other developing countries.
- These shifting demographic trends will influence each nation's social and economic success and require changes to marketing approaches to reach different generations over time.
STEM jobs (97 occupations that fall into the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields) are part of a critical cycle of economic growth. They are vital for national competitiveness, fueling the economy and creating more downstream jobs.
This document discusses the relationship between women's empowerment and economic development. It argues that empowering women can accelerate economic development in two ways: 1) Reducing poverty and inequality empowers women and improves economic outcomes for everyone, and 2) Continuing discrimination against women can hinder development. The document then reviews evidence showing how increasing women's income, education, and rights correlates with better child nutrition, health, and anthropometric outcomes. It also examines how women's empowerment relates to poverty reduction, labor force participation, and economic growth. The conclusion is that empowering women through education plays a major role in developing countries like India by reducing poverty and improving economic growth.
This document provides an overview and key statistics about Guatemala across various topics.

Poverty and inequality remain challenges with over 60% of the population living in poverty. Exports have grown with key partners being the US, El Salvador, and Honduras while imports primarily come from the US and Mexico.
Looking Beyond Education - Building a well formed mind vs. well informed mind...Yashraj Akashi
The document provides guidance on redefining education beyond traditional career-focused models. It suggests:
1. Education should focus on developing well-formed individuals, not just providing career training or information.
2. Students should look within themselves to discover their interests and strengths, rather than just following the paths of others or societal expectations.
3. One should view their career or purpose as part of a larger constellation, not just as a single star, and accept that failure and change are natural parts of growth and learning.

Presented at Refresher Course on Emerging Trends in Economics in Post Liberalised Era by Department of Economics, University of Mumbai, 11th Sept. 2008
Introduction
Nineties was a difficult decade for both the urban and rural poor women as women were rapidly losing their livelihood base due to structural adjustment programmes and macro economic stabilization policies. Reduction in budgetary allocation for social sector (privatization of education and health as well as dismantling of public distribution system) and privatization of essential survival needs made lives of poor women unbearable. Draught in several parts of India and liberalization of agrarian market added fuel to fire with increasing numbers of farmers’ suicides and starvation deaths. It was in this backdrop, that women’s leadership in microfinance thro’ Self Help Groups (SHGs) came to the fore to provide safety net to the poorest of the poor women initially in the four Southern States- Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamilnadu and during the 21st century all over the country.
Microfinance refers to small-scale financial services like credit and deposits provided to low-income individuals who lack access to traditional banking services. It aims to help the poor become self-sufficient through saving, borrowing, and insurance. While banks are reluctant to serve these clients due to high costs and lack of collateral, microfinance fills this gap by providing small, affordable loans. Groups like self-help groups and microfinance institutions have successfully delivered microcredit in countries like India and Bangladesh, achieving repayment rates over 95% and helping many escape poverty. However, some criticize that microfinance benefits the moderately poor more than the destitute and can lead to over-indebtedness if not implemented responsibly.
Mexico has both strengths and opportunities for improvement across its economy, society, and politics according to the key facts presented. It has a large, young workforce and a stable economy, but also high levels of poverty, violence, and uneven development across states. Mexico has a strategic location and trade relationships but faces challenges around competitiveness, education quality, and corruption. The document examines Mexico's current positioning and potential future trajectory across a wide range of social, economic, and political indicators.
1) Mexico has a population of over 111 million, with over 77% living in urban areas. It has a GDP of over $1.4 trillion, making it the 12th largest economy in the world.
2) Google currently has one office in Mexico City. It sees potential for growth in Mexico given the rising internet and smartphone usage. Nearly 23 million Mexicans now use the internet.
3) However, Mexico also faces major economic challenges like income inequality and poverty. The richest 10% of Mexicans control 41% of the country's wealth, while over 18% live below the poverty line. This presents obstacles for Google's continued expansion.
The document discusses how technology can drive sustainable and balanced global growth. It notes that the world is changing rapidly with massive economic shifts from Western to Eastern economies. It also highlights major demographic changes like rapid urbanization and aging populations. The document argues that future competition will be between cities and technology can play a role in sustainable growth by creating services that improve productivity, are environmentally friendly, and benefit areas like transportation, education, healthcare and more. It envisions a future where networked information allows communities to be run more efficiently and sustainably.

The document summarizes a presentation on evaluating the performance of the Texas economy and job growth. It discusses arguments for and against the idea of a "Texas Miracle" of economic growth. While Texas has led the nation in job creation, it ranks only 35th in jobs per capita. The presentation examines employment and population trends in depth and calls for more investment in developing workforce skills and regional economic development.
The document discusses Indonesia's economic growth and potential by 2030. It notes that Indonesia has experienced strong and consistent GDP growth in recent decades, but will need to boost productivity by 60% to achieve its 7% annual GDP growth target. Key opportunities for Indonesia's economy include growing domestic consumption as the middle class expands to 135 million, capitalizing on its young workforce, and developing industries like agriculture, energy, and education. However, Indonesia also faces challenges like improving infrastructure, distributing growth more evenly, and building technical skills in its workforce.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdfshruti1menon2
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
Every business, big or small, deals with outgoing payments. Whether it’s to suppliers for inventory, to employees for salaries, or to vendors for services rendered, keeping track of these expenses is crucial. This is where payment vouchers come in – the unsung heroes of the accounting world.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

“Do you consider the following Institutions corrupt?”

leading to generalized pessimism and demoralization
“Hey, if
you scratch
my back...”
“Help me

“One hand

“I leave it

“So, how do we get
