Major industries are textiles, chemicals, and vehicles. Exports include iron, soybeans, and aircraft. Relations with India have grown, with two-way trade reaching $3.12 billion in 2007. Brazil's GDP was $1.993 trillion in 2008, with services making up 65.3% of the economy. The report analyzes Brazil's progress on basic requirements like education and healthcare, as well as efficiency and technological readiness.
The document discusses the issue of brain drain in the Philippines. It notes that while there are some economic benefits from skilled workers migrating abroad, such as remittances sent home, there are also significant social and economic problems caused by brain drain. Specifically, the shortage of doctors and closure of hospitals has negatively impacted healthcare access. Additionally, the loss of skilled professionals is hindering the country's overall development by reducing medical research and innovation. While workers gain higher wages, the government should take steps to reduce brain drain to minimize its problems and allow the Philippines to progress.
This document provides a summary and analysis of 39 national action plans on youth employment submitted by UN member states. It finds that while many plans focus on improving youth employability through education and training, an integrated approach addressing both supply and demand is needed. The document analyzes the policy orientations of the plans and the process by which they were developed. It concludes with recommendations for the UN Secretary-General's Youth Employment Network to better support national efforts through peer learning and review.
Graduation based social protection for cambodia extreme poorHang Sovannarith
This study explores activist approaches to social protection, through interventions that tackle poverty by addressing the multiple dimensions of economic exclusion of the rural extreme poor in Cambodia. It explores the potential of so-called graduation packages, which consist of a combination of transfers of productive assets, vocational training and cash payments.
The results confirm the efficiency of interventions that include a productive asset transfer on poverty reduction. The micro-simulations also indicate that these programmes are likely to promote the inclusion of beneficiary households in their local economies as a significant share of their new disposable income comes from producing activities fostered by the graduation scheme. In turn, this has the potential to boost growth in the wider local and national economies. Both poverty and economic growth impacts are likely to last beyond the programme implementation period, as the catalytic effects of productive assets and professional skills persist after programmes have ended. These latter effects are over and above the impact of a cash-only transfer.
1) The brain drain of skilled workers from the Philippines has both economic and social benefits but causes greater problems for the country's development.
2) While remittances from overseas Filipino workers contribute to GDP and decrease unemployment, their departure retards local entrepreneurship and makes the economy dependent on other nations.
3) The brain drain leaves a skills shortage in the Philippines, impairing healthcare, safety, and social balance as the most productive workers emigrate.
4) While the government has remained inactive, it should now take aggressive action to minimize brain drain and its negative effects on long-term economic growth and national development.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from developing countries to developed countries. This occurs because developing countries cannot match the higher wages and better opportunities available abroad. While migration benefits individual migrants and their new host countries, it negatively impacts the development of source countries. Specifically, brain drain results in a shortage of skilled workers like doctors, engineers and teachers needed for local industries, infrastructure projects and healthcare systems. It also increases national training and replacement costs as skilled migrants must be replaced. If not addressed, brain drain will hollow out developing countries and impair their economic growth by continuously depleting their human capital resources.
ITU contributed reports to the UN Conference on Least Developed Countries examining ICT progress in LDCs from 2000-2010.

This document provides an overview of the concepts of "brain drain" and "brain gain" in the context of international migration. It begins with introducing migration and defining key terms. It then discusses brain drain, defining it as the emigration of skilled professionals from one country to another, resulting in a loss of human capital. The effects of brain drain on the source country are outlined. The document also discusses brain gain, or how migration can potentially benefit source countries through remittances, return migration of skilled individuals, and other factors. Specific examples related to Africa are also mentioned. Overall, the document aims to analyze whether migration should be viewed as brain drain or brain gain from an economic development perspective.
Spain work tech 2050 scenarios and national workshopsJerome Glenn
Intro to The Millennium Project, inevitability of new economics, global study on future work/technology 2050, three global work/tech 2050 scenarios, and workshops to explore national long-range strategies to address issue raised in the scenarios.
The document discusses brain drain, which is the emigration of skilled individuals from developing countries to developed countries. It provides historical context and discusses push factors like lack of opportunities in home countries and pull factors like better pay and facilities abroad. While brain drain has negatively impacted developing nations, some argue it can become "brain gain" if skilled emigrants return with new knowledge or if their success inspires others to remain. Larger countries experience less severe brain drain relative to their populations. Addressing factors that drive emigration like improving education and opportunities could help stem continuous losses of human capital.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled workers from developing countries to developed countries. By 2000, there were 180 million migrants worldwide, with skilled migrants coming primarily from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to OECD countries. Causes of brain drain include increased educational attainment creating more opportunities abroad, selective immigration policies in developed countries, and lack of opportunities in source countries. While brain drain provides some benefits like remittances, it also results in negative impacts such as reduced growth and human capital in source countries. Policies aimed at balancing flows include increasing retention through education and economic development investments in source countries.
This document discusses brain drain, which is the emigration of trained and talented individuals from developing countries to developed ones. It outlines the main characteristics of brain drain, including large flows of skilled workers like engineers and scientists from a small number of developing countries to developed countries. The document then covers the history of brain drain, reasons for it like lack of opportunities in home countries and better pay abroad, and case studies of brain drain from countries like India to the United States. Both positive and negative effects of brain drain are presented, with negatives including loss of human capital and investment for home countries.
Joint initiative on job creation for youth in africaDr Lendy Spires
This document proposes a joint initiative between the African Union, Economic Commission for Africa, African Development Bank, and International Labour Organization to address high youth unemployment in Africa. The initiative aims to increase coordination, build synergies, and maximize impact of existing youth employment programs. Each organization brings distinct expertise: the AU in political legitimacy; AfDB in development projects and financing; ECA in employment policy; and ILO in promoting decent work. The high rates of youth unemployment in Africa are constrained by factors on both the demand and supply side of the labor market.
This presentation describes about the outflow of professional people trained in low-income countries (developing-Third World) to higher-income countries (developed-advanced) which badly impacts our country's economy. For more details mail at mailtoparteek@gmail.com
The document discusses the phenomenon of brain drain from the Philippines, particularly regarding nurses. It notes that after World War II left the Philippines' economy devastated, the country encouraged nurse education to address health issues. In 1965, the US relaxed immigration laws and introduced a clause encouraging skilled labor migration, including nurses. Many Filipino nurses then took advantage of exchange programs to work abroad for higher pay and send money home. However, they often faced discrimination and lack of opportunities to advance, causing personal hardship. While brain drain exports human capital, the knowledge and wealth generated can benefit both origin and host countries. For many migrant workers, the prospects abroad outweigh the difficulties of emigrating.

This document discusses six revolutions shaping the future: technology, global economics, global power balances, demographics, climate change, and personal identity. For each revolution, the document outlines key trends and their implications for community colleges. Regarding technology, it notes that disruptive technologies are changing industries and education models. For global economics, it highlights the rise of emerging economies and a more multi-polar world. Regarding demographics, it discusses aging populations and lower birth rates in developed nations. The document advocates for colleges to prepare students for this changing world through strategies like international partnerships, language learning, and credential recognition.
This document discusses different types of volcanoes. It begins by defining a volcano as a mountain where molten rock, known as magma, rises up from below the earth's surface. Volcanoes form as a result of movement of tectonic plates, which causes fissures through which magma can escape from the asthenosphere onto the earth's crust through vents. The document then describes three types of volcanoes: active volcanoes that frequently erupt, such as Mount Etna; extinct volcanoes that were once active but will not erupt again, like Kilimanjaro; and dormant volcanoes that were active in the past but are not currently erupting, though could become active again in the
The document discusses various social problems that can be analyzed through social sciences like economics, anthropology, and politics. It outlines problems at the regional, national, and global levels. At the regional level, it discusses issues like crime, healthcare access, pollution, and land conversion. At the national level, it examines inflation, unemployment, poverty, and economic recession. Finally, at the global scale, some of the social problems mentioned include international trade imbalances, disease outbreaks, terrorism, climate change, and financial crises. The document aims to show how social sciences can provide insights into social issues at different levels of human organization and across the world.
The document provides information about demographics, economy, culture, religion, and technology landscape in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines has a population of over 90 million people, with Filipino and English as the main languages. The family is highly valued in Filipino culture. Most Filipinos are Catholic. Mobile phone use is widespread, with over 1 billion SMS sent daily, while internet penetration is around 21.5%. Social media like Facebook have grown in popularity, surpassing earlier leaders like Friendster. The government has engaged with citizens through social media platforms as well.
This document provides an introduction to social science, outlining several key points:
1. It defines social science as fields that study human society, including anthropology, archaeology, economics, political science, sociology, and others.
2. It discusses the connection between social science and social problems, using poverty and economics as an example.
3. It outlines several important approaches to research in social science, including functionalist theory, conflict theory, exchange theory, and symbolic interaction theory.
This document discusses several social problems and issues in the Philippines. It outlines how social disorganization, economic conditions like poverty, and dysfunction can disrupt society. Poverty is defined as having insufficient resources to meet basic needs. Several theories of poverty are presented. Juvenile crime and delinquency in different forms are also examined. Other issues covered include prostitution, unemployment, gambling, sexual harassment, housing issues, and mail-order brides. The document provides an overview of key social problems in the Philippines.
This document discusses several social problems including drug addiction, alcoholism, sexually transmitted diseases, juvenile delinquency, and prostitution. It provides details on the behavioral and social factors that contribute to these issues, such as peer pressure, poverty, family dysfunction, and lack of education. The document also outlines government policies and programs aimed at preventing and managing social health problems in India. These include acts related to dowry prohibition, narcotics control, and rehabilitation of vulnerable groups like the handicapped.
Corruption is a major social problem in the Philippines. According to Transparency International, the Philippines ranked 139th out of 180 countries in their 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index, showing a slightly improved ranking but still a serious level of corruption. As of 2011, the Philippines ranked 129th, higher than its 2010 ranking of 134th, but still indicating a perceived level of corruption above the midpoint. Poverty is also a significant problem, with over 26% of the population living below the poverty line in 2009, a slow decline from 33.1% in 1991. High population growth, income inequality, unemployment, and a weak investment climate have limited poverty reduction despite average GDP growth of 3.2% annually from 2000 to 2009
This document discusses research and innovation in India. It notes that India has historically struggled in research compared to other countries. It proposes several recommendations to promote research in India including importing latest equipment, making admission to research institutions more flexible, providing more support for top researchers, only funding projects making progress, and increasing government funding for research. It emphasizes the need for government, researchers, and youth to work together to improve the research situation in India.

Over the last two centuries technological innovation has played a fundamental role in economic development, wealth creation and social progress. Spain has not played and do not play today a leading role in the field. Since the advent of democracy in 1978, the country has undergone a remarkable economic and social transformation. However, it has not been enough to substantially reduce the income gap it maintains with the most advanced economies in the world. We wonder why and we briefly explore some historical clues.
More fundamentally, we question what changes would be necessary and whether this situation might even change in the future. Two documents presented by the Spanish government in 2021, “Spain 2050” and ‘Spain Entrepreneurial Nation,” look forward to an entrepreneurial nation by 2030. They are based on rigorous state-of-the-art policy and economic analysis. However, we are facing a world systemic change of paradigm, a (Great?) socio technical transition, and successful models that worked in the previous system might not work in a new one. Furthermore, macroeconomic projections do not consider the strategic interaction among different players in a conflicting world. It is necessary to review some accepted premises and dive under the superficial “litany.”
Our objective is to understand the key forces driving change, and the most important factors and levers available to a meaningful player in the game. We use a country, Spain, as a test and showcase, but our objective is to outline a high level, holistic model inspired by scenario planning and game theory to study future adaptive strategies for a country, corporation or even a global organization in the evolving socio techno economic system of the next 25-50 years.
The document provides a rationale for developing a youth strategy for the Centre for Technical Cooperation (CTA). It notes that many African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries have large youth populations and face challenges like food insecurity, weak economies, and climate change impacts. If supported properly, youth could help drive economic transformation in these regions, especially in agriculture. However, agriculture is often seen as unattractive to youth. The document proposes that CTA develop a youth strategy to encourage youth involvement in agriculture, strengthen their participation in value chains and policymaking, build their skills, and leverage ICTs. It provides an overview of a planned workshop to gather input on priority issues and initiatives to help finalize the youth strategy. The workshop will

Future trends in technology business incubation_Rustam Lalkaka_2007Vasily Ryzhonkov
1) The keynote discusses future trends in technology business incubation, focusing on how incubation can help address global issues of poverty, unemployment, and development.
2) It notes that half of the world's business incubators are located in developing countries, but many are concentrated in only a few nations. Emerging models emphasize public-private partnerships and serving low-income populations.
3) Looking ahead, the keynote predicts convergence of smart incubation services, stronger university links, more emphasis on social innovation, and the need to prepare developing economies for globalization through business incubation.
Enhancing science-based development in Africa: Where does Ethiopia stand?ILRI
Presented by Professor Gebisa Ejeta (Purdue University and World Food Laureate) at the 'Dialogue on Ethiopia’s Agricultural Development', 12 November, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Investors, both local and international, prefer to invest in productive economies where they ultimately would have good returns for their money. A productive economy (competitive, if you like) which guarantees safe investments and promises good returns has some basic requirements that are inherent in the system of operation in those countries. Most times, the people have a say in who and how they are governed (Democracy).
Innovation for Inclusive Development Program Prospectus for 2011-2016iBoP Asia
This document outlines a program called Innovation for Inclusive Development (IID) that aims to study innovation in informal sectors in developing countries. The program goals are to understand how innovation in the informal sector can improve livelihoods and contribute to inclusive development. It will focus on the role of women and intermediaries between informal and formal sectors in activities like natural resources, services, and cultural industries. The intended outcomes are for universities in low- and middle-income countries to conduct research on innovation for inclusive development, for science granting councils to fund this research, and for governments to develop policies that encourage and support innovation for inclusive development.
Talk during CIAT’s 50th Anniversary: Sustainable food systems encompass agricultural production systems, market linkages, wholesale and retail food distribution and provide the underpinning for key Sustainable Development Goals.

Speaker: Eugenio Díaz-Bonilla, Head of the Latin American and Caribbean Program, International Food Policy Research Institute, IFPRI
Cali, Colombia. 8-9 November 2017
Africa has experienced strong economic growth over the past decade. Several factors are driving this success, including improving macroeconomic conditions, business reforms, a growing middle class and urbanization, and increasing trade and investment links with emerging economies like China and India. However, for growth to be sustainable, African countries will need to undergo economic transformation by moving labor and capital from low-productivity activities like agriculture and raw materials to higher productivity sectors like manufacturing and services. The document discusses frameworks for transformation and the policy enablers needed, including infrastructure, education and skills development.
Three key constraints on growth and development facing many emerging countries are: 1) weak infrastructure like inadequate power, transport, and water systems that increase business costs and hinder exports; 2) dependence on volatile primary commodity exports that leaves economies vulnerable to price fluctuations; and 3) macroeconomic instability, conflicts, corruption, and poor governance that damage investor confidence and deter investment.

Further discussion on how to make upper-middle income county out of middle-income trap. And how to synchronize different aspect on developmental policy in modern era.
This document contains the full text of a presentation given by Nicole Hoo-Fatt to the Rotary Club of Downtown Kingston on sustainable development challenges facing small island developing states (SIDS). The presentation defines SIDS and sustainable development, noting the new challenges facing developing countries around issues like energy security, climate change, and technology access. It argues that international perceptions of SIDS often overlook the serious economic vulnerabilities they face. While SIDS have made progress in influencing international organizations to consider their needs, more work remains to be done to address challenges like debt relief and promote new opportunities in areas like financial services, training, and retirement communities.
This document discusses building knowledge economies and measuring their success. It notes that knowledge is now the principal source of wealth, unlike in the past when natural resources were most important. While GDP growth is needed, it does not ensure broader societal benefits like trust, security and happiness. Alternative metrics try to capture these, like the UN's Human Development Index. Linking investments in knowledge to economic and social returns is challenging due to variability in impacts and benefits over different timescales. The EU is making some progress through comparisons across its 27 countries.
Inclusive growth is not a pipedream. The Department of Science and Technology is earnest in enabling the benefits of progress to be felt by more and more Filipinos through its umbrella S&T program, Smarter Philippines.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

13. But why do Filipinos law abiding when in foreign land?
15. Poverty, corruption, ineptness, political dynasty, pollution, hunger, drug problem, and hosts of societal ill continue to exist because we ACCEPT THEM and BELIEVED THAT THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THEM.
17. Given the resources and opportunities, we could move forward as a nation.If our leaders seriously invest in EDUCATION especially in math and science. Let us learn from SINGAPORE
18. What is Teach Less, Learn More? Teach Less, Learn More is about teaching better, to engage our learners and prepare them for life, rather than teaching more, for tests and examinations.
19. If, at a very young age, the habit of discovery and inquiry is inculcated in every Filipino. If a Filipino learner is taught to be critical and analytical.
26. Research is having the raw power to convince people about the TRUTH you have discovered.
27. “All developed countries recognize the importance of science in reducing poverty, raising income levels, and economic transformation.” ---------------FlorLacanilaoRetired professor of Marine Science InstituteUniversity of the Philippines, Quezon City
28. Research is having the power to make people see that you are BIG when you are really small!
29. Research is weighing evidences to address a vexing problem in life. Face-Off: Botox Vs. Dysport. Which Works Better?
30. “And the poor state of Philippine science is the main reason why an increasing number of neighbor countries have been leaving us behind.”
32. “R&D and S&T are commonly used acronyms. But many hardly know their relation with each other -- research to science to technology to development.”
33. National progress of five ASEAN countries as measured by their Human Development Index. Note the slower growth rate of the Philippines compared with the other our countries.
34. UNDP’s Human Development Reports show a nation’s development compared with those of other countries -- ranking. Among 177 countries and territories, the Philippines’ ranking has been going down in the last 10 years. In 1997 and 1998, the Philippines ranked 77, but this dropped to 83-85 in 2000-2004, and to 102 in 2006.
35. “Philippines has lagged behind in research and development, and is the second to the last in Southeast Asia.” Agham Party-list Rep. Angelo Palmones
36. Publications of five ASEAN countries (A) and close up of the last three, Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam (B). Note that the Philippines was ahead of Indonesia and Vietnam from 1980, but was last in 2006. (Figures by courtesy of Katherine Bagarinao.)
37. • Insufficient R&D funds provided to the science community;• Inadequate infrastructure for R&D;• Need for better R&D and extension program coordination;• Outdated financial management for R&D;High taxes on the importation of research tools and equipment; and• Low number of trained R&D personnel;
41. Competitiveness ------- the set of institutions, policies, and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country
42. The level of productivity, in turn, sets the sustainable level of prosperity that can be earned by an economy. In other words, more competitive economies tend to be able to produce higher levels of income for their citizens. The productivity level also determines the rates of return obtained by investments (physical, human, and technological) in an economy. In other words: Productivity---Sustainable Prosperity/Good economy---Higher income-----Better quality of Life
44. The 12 pillars of competitiveness are not independent: they tend to reinforce each other, and a weakness in one area often has a negative impact on other areas.
45. For example, innovation (pillar 12) will be very difficult without a well-educated and trained workforce (pillars 4 and 5) that are adept at absorbing new technologies (pillar 9), and without sufficient financing (pillar 8) for R&D or an efficient goods market that makes it possible to take new innovations to market (pillar 6).
46. Gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic income (GDI) is a measure of a country's overall economic output. It is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year. It is often positively correlated with the standard of living,[1] alternative measures to GDP for that purpose.
