This document discusses gender inequality and lack of empowerment for women in Italy. It provides statistics showing Italy ranking poorly (76th out of 153 countries) in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, with significant gaps in women's economic participation and opportunities. While more women are pursuing higher education, they still earn less than men with the same degrees. Networks like Young Women Network and its mentoring programs aim to empower women and girls by helping them develop skills and ambitions outside traditional roles. Initiatives in STEM fields are especially important to prepare women for future jobs and address the lack of women in these areas. More comprehensive policies are still needed to achieve true gender equality across political, education, labor and family domains in Italy.

The experts discussed the best and worst aspects of globalization. While globalization has lifted economic growth and living standards around much of the developing world, it has also increased inequality within and between countries. The spreading of wealth is seen as the key benefit of globalization. However, the disconnect between the need for global regulation and the inability of national political systems to agree on global governance is viewed as problematic. Technology and global infrastructure are seen as improving individuals' ability to hold those in power accountable. Overall, advancing globalization is expected to have a positive impact in Asia but more mixed views in other regions. Managing inequality remains a key challenge to ensure the benefits of globalization are widely shared.

MDG's Tutorial Essay - Samarth Chaddha

Samarth Chaddha

The document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which were established in 2000 as a global agreement to reduce extreme poverty by 2015. The MDGs aimed to address the root causes of poverty through collaborative multi-lateral action and helped foster new partnerships between countries and organizations. While the MDGs had some limitations and critics who argued they did not substantially reduce poverty, they demonstrated the potential of global goal-setting by inspiring national policy changes. The progress made on the MDGs, such as halving extreme poverty rates, shows they were not merely rhetoric. The establishment of the new Sustainable Development Goals building on the MDGs shows their positive impact and the continued commitment to reducing poverty through international cooperation.

This document provides a summary of the World Employment and Social Outlook Trends 2017 report published by the International Labour Organization. The summary includes: 1) Global unemployment is projected to increase by 3.4 million people in 2017 as growth remains below potential and deficits in decent work persist worldwide. 2) Vulnerable employment, consisting of own-account and contributing family workers, remains high at 1.4 billion people or 42% of global employment. Progress in reducing vulnerable employment is slowing. 3) Working poverty is declining but the rate of decline is slowing, threatening prospects for eradicating poverty by 2030 as outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The number of working poor is projected to

This document discusses the transition from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It notes that while progress was made on the MDGs, many targets will not be fully met by 2015. The 17 SDGs are more ambitious in scope and ownership than the MDGs. They are also meant to be achieved by all countries, not just developing nations. The World Bank played a key role in developing the MDG framework and its goals are aligned with the SDGs. This document shares lessons from independent evaluations of World Bank projects related to education, health, and other sectors to help inform implementation of the new 2030 development agenda.

How is the World Bank Group Supporting Environmental Sustainability?

Sustainable development — particularly environmental sustainability — is a central tenet of the World Bank Group’s strategy. IEG’s new report Results and Performance of the World Bank Group (RAP) provides a timely review of the Bank Group portfolio performance and examines how the Bank Group has mainstreamed and measured projects with potential environmental benefits. Between FY08-10 and FY15-17, the overall share of projects or components with potential environmental benefits has increased 4 percentage points for the World Bank and IFC. However, projects with "Clean" and "Resilient" components, such as climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation, have risen, while support for "Green" project components has decreased, including in some traditional areas of environmental sustainability.
