The document summarizes the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on progress toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It notes that COVID-19 could push over 1 billion people into extreme poverty by 2030 (SDG 1). The pandemic has also disrupted food systems, increasing hunger and food insecurity (SDG 2). Interrupted healthcare and access to services may lead to hundreds of thousands of additional child and maternal deaths in 2020 (SDG 3). School closures mean 370 million children missing meals and risks to education gains like increased child labor (SDG 4). The crisis is also increasing economic insecurity, violence against women, and care burdens for women (SDG 5). Half
Maximising the economic opportunity of ageing - Future of Ageing 2019ILC- UK
In this introductory session at the ILC's fifth Future of Ageing Conference, ILC Director, David Sinclair, set the scene for the conference.
Delegates heard about the new ILC research on the longevity dividend, which sets out the huge economic contribution of older people today and projects potential future economic growth as a result of ageing.
David talked about ILC’s views on how we might realise an even greater longevity dividend for the UK economy, by unlocking the full potential of older adults as consumers and employees.

Intergovernmental relations and the covid-19 crisis: early lessonsOECDtax
Monetary and fiscal support from central governments successfully accelerated the economic recovery from COVID-19. While GDP growth slowed, revenues and expenditures at subnational government levels were stabilized due to central support and reliance on stable tax bases. Despite vaccination programs, COVID-19 death rates remain high, and the future outlook is uncertain as infections rise again in winter months. Central government fiscal positions are now more fragile, and inflation and potential interest rate hikes could increase debt burdens across levels of government.
Britain is facing a housing affordability crisis. Housing costs have risen significantly as a proportion of income over time, especially for low to middle income households. This has negative impacts on living standards and inequality. To address the crisis, reforms are needed to both boost housing supply and make housing more affordable. Key reforms proposed include establishing a national land bank to free up more land for development, reforming property taxes to reduce inefficiencies, boosting social housebuilding, incentivizing local authorities to support development, and revising planning rules to streamline the development process.
The document summarizes a proposed homestead exemption ordinance for the City of College Station. It provides background on homestead exemptions, outlines the timeline of researching and proposing the ordinance, and analyzes the potential revenue impacts of adopting different percentage exemptions. It recommends the City Council consider a 5% homestead exemption ordinance and offsetting 0.759 cent tax rate increase to reduce the impact on the average home.
Making inclusive growth a reality - event with Joseph StiglitzResolutionFoundation
This document discusses inequality in the UK and proposes ways to tackle the inequality crisis. It finds that inequality rose sharply in the 1980s but has been on a downward trend since the financial crisis. However, inequality is forecast to rise again over the next 5 years due to reductions in welfare generosity. The top 1% of earners have steadily increased their share of total income. While redistribution reduces inequality in the UK, market income inequality remains high compared to other developed countries. The document argues for policies to promote inclusive growth and reduce rising inequality.

1) The document discusses the enormous jobs challenge in the Philippines caused by decades of bad policies and extractive institutions. However, strong economic reforms over the past decades have helped create over 5 million direct jobs.
2) Growth is becoming more inclusive in the Philippines, translating to stronger job creation and faster poverty reduction. Sustained growth could potentially eradicate poverty within a generation if reforms are accelerated.
3) Meeting the government's 2016 poverty target of 18-20% is achievable if high growth continues. Sustained 6% growth per year could increase per capita income over 11 times in 3 decades. However, this requires raising tax revenues through tax policy and administration reforms to fund necessary investments.

The UK Office for National Statistics has launched a National Well-being Programme to measure national well-being beyond traditional economic indicators like GDP. The programme aims to establish an accepted set of national statistics on well-being across ten domains, including health, relationships, education, and the environment. So far, the programme has conducted public consultations, published initial annual reports, and added questions to household surveys on life satisfaction, feelings of worthwhileness, happiness and anxiety. Future work includes further developing measures, analyzing drivers of well-being, and providing local area well-being data. The goal is to better understand and monitor societal progress over time.
This document summarizes the state of inequality in the UK. It discusses how inequality increased significantly in the 1980s due to falls in earnings at the top. Inequality has changed little recently as incomes have risen slowly across income distributions. However, inequality and relative poverty are forecast to rise in the next 5 years. The share of income for the top 1% has been steadily growing. While UK market income inequality is high, typical levels of redistribution offset this. Global inequality is falling, but tackling inequality remains an ongoing challenge.

You will hear:
1. Nationally: How the two child limit to tax credits is set to drive child poverty up by 10% by 2020
2. Regionally: First wave results from our work tracking income, employment and poverty for over half a million low-income households across London
3. Locally: How Winchester City Council's data led strategy uncovered hidden pockets of poverty
Background
The post-2015 welfare reforms will take almost £13bn a year from claimants by 2020-21, bringing the cumulative loss since 2010 to £27bn a year. This is equivalent to £690 a year for every adult of working age, according to analysis by Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research.
Professor Christina Beatty said that the worst is yet to come for those who will be most severly hit, namely low income families with children. She urged local authorities to plan ahead for the impact.
Understanding exactly which low income households will be impacted by the welfare reforms, and how, is the challenge. Policy in Practice works with local authorities to do just that.
Our Low Income Family Tracker combines local authority data with a powerful modelling engine to show the aggregate and cumulative impact of reforms on each household so that local authorities can get the right support to those who need help the most, before crisis hits.

The document summarizes modeling done by IFPRI on the short and long-term economic impacts of COVID-19 in developing countries. Initial short-term modeling estimated large GDP losses but smaller impacts on agriculture. Household income losses were larger for urban and non-poor households. Longer-term modeling for Ethiopia estimated continued GDP losses until 2022 even with recovery, with larger impacts if future waves occur through 2025. Poverty was estimated to increase more in urban areas initially but recover faster, while absolute poverty increases were mostly in rural areas. Remaining questions concern the role of policy in recovery, private sector recovery dynamics, and potential crowding out of rural investment by urban COVID responses.
This document summarizes education funding trends in Hampton Roads, Virginia. It finds that per pupil K-12 education spending has declined in Hampton Roads and Virginia since the 2008 recession. State education funding fell 23% per pupil in Hampton Roads from 2009 to 2014. The economic and social importance of education is discussed. Charts show sources and changes over time in local, state, and federal education funding.
This document summarizes the Covid-19 situation in Bangladesh. It provides an aggregate view of the pandemic nationally, showing increasing infection rates with over 1.78 million total cases. Regionally, more densely populated and accessible areas have been more severely impacted. Insights from limited testing data suggest the situation is worsening daily. The pandemic has had major negative effects on society and the economy, including declines in GDP, exports, remittances and rising poverty levels. Positive environmental impacts have included reduced pollution. Moving forward, the conclusion discusses increasing digitalization, education technology, healthcare systems and addressing unemployment.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19 has turned into a global crisis, evolving at an unprecedented speed and scale. As governments take immediate actions to cope with the outbreak, businesses are rapidly adapting to the changing needs of people, consumers and suppliers while also trying to overcome the financial and operational challenges.
As the pandemic continues, more and more industries are feeling the strain. The financial industry is certainly one of them. Whilst, the current situation is challenging for the industry, we believe that if well-handled it can also bring opportunities for innovation and long-term customer loyalty. The crisis has already revealed us that, now, more than ever, the industry must invest in digital and key critical capabilities to thrive in a post-COVID-19 world.
COVID-19 Playbook for Financial Services includes the implications of COVID-19 on financial industry, and recommendations on how banks can enhance their capabilities to survive during these rough times.
Main topics covered in this playbook are as below:
1 The impact of COVID-19 - Global Overview
2 How Banks Should Face the Crisis: COVID-19 Playbook
3 How to Invest in Digital Capabilities: Digital Roadmap

The safety measures imposed by the governments of almost all countries to protect their citizens will most probably trigger a period of economic turmoil much bigger than the 2008 crisis. This means that while protecting our health, we need to also start thinking about the future. To make this situation at least a little easier, we have decided to compile the most important knowledge we possess in terms of the potential future implications of the pandemic; and we have set out ways to navigate this difficult situation. We hope the will prove useful to you in terms of making all necessary business decisions.
This analysis compares some data areas - Economy, Crime, Aviation, Energy, Transport, Health, Mortality. Housing and Construction - for Ireland for the years 2019 and 2020, illustrating the changes that have occurred between the two years. It shows some of the impacts of COVID-19 and of actions taken in response to it, such as the various lockdowns and other restrictions.
The first lockdown clearly had major changes on many aspects of Irish society. The third lockdown which began at the end of the period analysed will have as great an impact as the first lockdown.
The consequences of the events and actions that have causes these impacts could be felt for some time into the future.
The document provides an overview of the Global Fund's work in 2022. It summarizes that after setbacks from COVID-19, the Global Fund partnership regained momentum against HIV, TB, and malaria in 2022, exceeding pre-pandemic results for treatment and prevention. However, extraordinary steps are still needed to achieve global targets for ending the diseases by 2030, as multiple crises like climate change, conflict, and economic issues are making progress more difficult. The Global Fund partnership has helped save 59 million lives over 20 years but continued investment and efforts to address inequities are required to save more lives and meet 2030 goals.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of covid-19 on economic growth in SADC. Covid19 has been a challenge and still a challenge in many parts of the world across the globe. As a result of covid-19 many people from all walk of life lost their businesses, their belongings, their jobs, including friends and relatives due the deadly pandemic and Africa was no exemption from all these. As consequences of covid-19 particularly in SADC and beyond many people lost their lives, the unemployment rate has augmented and trading relationship between SADC countries has been limping since the pandemic occurred in March 2020. Therefore, the present study recommends a SADC mitigation covid -19 measure strategies that would enable SADC countries to improve on the spread of covid-19 and strengthen the trading relationship among SADC countries
Globalization involves the integration of trade, capital flows, digital connectivity, and mobility among countries worldwide. While the COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted these flows, the document finds that trade, capital, and digital connectivity have rebounded strongly, though international travel remains depressed. Several trade agreements were also signed in 2020, and public opinion polls show continued support for global cooperation and open markets. Overall, the pandemic has not fundamentally reduced globalization, and international opportunities and competition remain important for business strategy.
The Impact of Covid 19 Pandemic on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises’ SMEs P...YogeshIJTSRD
The objective of this study is threefold to investigate the performance of SMEs prior the cases of COVID 19 in Yobe State to examine the performance of SMEs during COVID 19 in Yobe State and to suggest measures for the resilience of the SMEs’ performance after the COVID 19 in Yobe State. The study adopted a survey research design and the sample size was 301 respondents which were selected through multi stage cluster sampling in which the State will be divided into three clusters, based on senatorial districts Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C . Simple random sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. The instruments of data collection were questionnaire and one focus group discussion FGD , thus mixed method quantitative and qualitative was employed to analyse the data for the questionnaire and the FGD, respectively. The study found out that COVID 19 has negatively affected the performance of SMEs in Yobe State. For example, many businesses have demised in Yobe State due to the closure of workplaces many SMEs have stopped operating for many months. The study concluded that SMEs have been performing greatly and they were important to the Yobe State economy before COVID 19 in State Yobe, but the incidence of the COVID 19 has brought setback to the commercial activities in the State. COVID 19 affected the performance of SMEs through closure of all firms, including SMEs due to total lockdown SMEs owners also experienced distraction and widespread panic due to the epidemic lack of raw materials because of less movement of goods and services during the pandemic. There was also the death of some owners of the SMEs especially the old ones, and expiration of some products due to lock down, and downfall of some merchants that operate SMEs in Yobe State. The study therefore recommended that government and development partners should provide soft loans and free grants for affected indigenous SMEs to get resuscitated deliberate effort at making the SMEs very strong to resist the ripple effect of the COVID 19 and save the SMEs from collapsing by operating during all forms of pandemics through online marketing.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given the biggest blow to the world economy after the great depression
1930s.Around 60% of the world population is either under severe or partial lockdown without having medical
solution to the coronavirus and affected the industrial sector severely.The impact is severe on
trade,manufacturing and MSMEs.Manufacturing sector may shrink from 5.5%to 20%,exports from 13.7% to
20.8%,imports from 17.3% to25%and MSMEs net value added (NVA) from 2.1%to5.7% in 2020
The presentation summarizes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses globally. It led to an unprecedented shock worldwide, stopping global progress. There were massive revenue losses, business closures, layoffs and liquidity issues. The negative impact on sales was large and persistent across firms. Most businesses adjusted employment through reducing hours and wages rather than layoffs. There was significant heterogeneity in the effects across countries, with smaller firms facing more financial constraints.
In Gambia 15 new cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases have been registered - the highest reported in a single day - bringing to 93 the total number of COVID-19 cases ever confirmed in the country.

The effect of COVID-19 has negative consequence which has been an invisible enemy raging the entire world populace leading to a global economic crisis. Business across the globe are feeling the negative outcome of the COVID 19 pandemic threatening their ongoing economic daily activities. SMEs in Nigeria are not left out in the share of this negative pandemic, limiting their survival existence. The shutdown of economic activities has greatly affected SMEs in Nigeria. This has led to employees under SMEs lose their jobs. It was concluded that adequate measures needs to be taken by government to cushion the negative effect of COVID 19 in collapsing the existence of SMEs. by Aribisala, and Oluwadamilare Olufolarin 2020.

COVID19 - Risks and opportunities in Telecom Sectoreveris
The COVID-19 health crisis has produced the biggest economic crisis in the recent history.
By the moment, the Telecommunications Sector is one of the least affected sectors. The real impact that could be achieved is still unknown and the threat of a future resurgence puts all sectors of activity in check.
It is necessary to take measures that prevent future risks and help us to find opportunities for growth in a new reality. The current context is also an accelerator and stimulator of transformations and latent changes in the Telecom Sector
The document discusses predictions for the world in 2025, including that the second digital revolution will occur driven by new technologies. By 2025, the digital economy is predicted to be worth $4.8 trillion, with enterprise technology contributing $1.5 trillion. While new opportunities will exist, competition will intensify for all players. Digital transformation will be necessary for companies rather than optional by that time.
The document discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. It describes how the pandemic led to economic contraction as lockdowns reduced economic activity and consumer spending. This caused millions of job losses and rising unemployment. Governments implemented fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize economies and support businesses and workers. The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains and accelerated digital transformation across industries. Overall, the pandemic has posed major challenges for the global economy but also opportunities for innovation in areas like telehealth, e-commerce, and sustainable technologies.
The document discusses the economic challenges facing Africa, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes Africa's population and urbanization are increasing rapidly, putting stress on inadequate infrastructure while rising costs of power and resources are issues. The document proposes adopting a digital economy blueprint to address challenges through industries not requiring smokestacks (iWOSS), leveraging technologies to boost traditionally low-value industries and create jobs. If successful, iWOSS could contribute $1 trillion to African GDP by 2030 by establishing a digital single market and regulatory frameworks to attract investment across ECOWAS countries.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

long-term health conditions for thousandsmore; and
disruption for all 370k residents.
3. Social and economicupheaval associated with the

Our GDP per head figure in 2019 was
£29,600 per head – a small decrease
from 2018. The gap with England
(£33,809) has grown – and WMCA
(£26,809) and WM Region (£27,574)
is catching up.
The challenging economic climate
has resulted in fewer active
enterprises per 10,000 residents (338
per 10,000; or 10,120 enterprises in
2020, down from 341 in 2019) –
behind the WMCA average of 396, or
526 in Warwickshire.
There has been an increase in
unemployment from 4.6% in 2019
to 5.9% in 2020 – that is, 2,500
more people. Male unemployment
up 2.1%pts; female unemployment
down 1.2%pts; no evidence of
women leaving the workforce.
Improvements in qualification
levels (38% NVQ4+), fewer NEETs
(5%, down 0.4%), median pay of
residents increased (£24,537),
and Council tax collection rates
down only 1.1%pts despite

Fly-tipping has increased by 62% –
from 6,955 to 10,727. While we have
investigated many more fly-tips
(1,505 more) this massive increase
puts pressure on our ability to
respond.
There has been a 9.5% increase in
crime – with 31,309 crimes recorded.
This compares to an increase in 0.8%
last year. There are increases in
common assault and harassment
(both up 900+ offences), and
domestic abuse (10,203 reports, up
37%).
Lockdown and restrictions
associated with the pandemic
have shifted physical activity –
household survey suggested 75%
of residents spent time on active
recreation; and 50% spent at least
an hour a week.
The city saw a sustained and
considerable increase in the
number of looked after children
after the first lockdown, from 701
in March 2020, peaking at 754 in
December 2020. A total of 304
new looked after children started
in 2020/21.
Covid-19 killed 605 people in
the city in 2020/21 – that is
more than on the night of the
Coventry Blitz on 14-15
November 1940, when 554
people were killed.

Self-service transactions has
increased from 121,391 transactions
to 352,751 transactions. A major
reason for the increase is the new
system for booking a tip visit which
accounted for 160,999 (45% of the
352751) transactions.
Overall carbon emissions as a result of local authority
operations has decreased by 21%. There have been
reduced streetlighting and office electricity consumption.
The one exception is fleet – up 25% – because we have
new vehicles added to provide Covid-19 support, new
home to school transport, and increased waste
collections.
At the end of March 2021, there were
4,076 full-time equivalent staff in the
city – an increase of 123 fte. Some of
this is due to employing new people
to support our pandemic response.
Staff sickness absence decreased
from 12.71 to 10.47 days per year.
