Right to Internet: Bringing Information to the Citizens

Right to Internet: Bringing Information to the Citizens

internetrights.in –

The best way to characterise human rights is to identify the outcomes that we are trying to ensure. These include critical freedoms like freedom of speech and freedom of access to information - and those are not necessarily bound to any particular technology at any particular time. Citizens must always check that they aren’t getting incomplete or biased data. Open Data are almost always data that should surely be open, and that almost never contain any personal information. Right now, India is more...

Civic Engagement of Youth in the Middle East and North Africa

mercycorps.org –

In the wake of the Arab Awakening, Mercy Corps and other agencies are grappling with the question: How can the recent surge of self-assertion and of political activism by Arab youth be harnessed to promote more participatory governance and equitable development within the region? To help answer this question, Mercy Corps recently undertook research into what works to promote youth civic engagement in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and what benefits can be expected for the youth who more...

Laws of Attrition: Crackdown on Russia’s Civil Society after Putin’s Return to the Presidency

This 78-page report describes some of the changes since Putin returned to the presidency in May 2012. The authorities have introduced a series of restrictive laws, begun a nationwide campaign of invasive inspections of nongovernmental organizations, harassed, intimidated, and in a number of cases imprisoned political activists, and sought to cast government critics as clandestine enemies. The report analyzes the new laws, including the so-called “foreign agents” law, the treason law, and the more...

Violence against women and Post MDG Framework

Violence against women and Post MDG Framework

There should be a clear indicator or target on reducing violence against women and girls. In addition to being a violation of rights, violence against women and girls significantly undermines progress towards all the development goals, making them impossible to achieve.

RECURSOS LABORALES – COMPARATIVO HISTÓRICO DE ÍNDICES DE HOMOLOGACIÓN DE SALARIO DIGNO DE LÍNEA DE PRODUCCIÓN VERSUS TODOS LOS EMPLEADOS EN MANUFACTURA 1996-2009

jussemper.org –

La Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales (BLS) del Departamento del Trabajo de EUA emitía informes anuales de costos de compensación por hora para trabajadores de línea de producción (TLPs) en manufactura con datos desde 1975. Empero, a partir de 2010, el informe anual incorpora a todos los empleados en el sector manufacturero (TEMs), y la BLS ya no publicará informes sólo para los trabajadores de producción. Por esta razón, Jus Semper ha preparado la valoración comparativa de los costos de more...

LABOUR RESOURCES – HISTORICAL COMPARISON OF PRODUCTION-LINE VERSUS ALL EMPLOYED IN MANUFACTURING LIVING-WAGE EQUALISATION INDICES 1996-2009

LABOUR RESOURCES – HISTORICAL COMPARISON OF PRODUCTION-LINE VERSUS ALL EMPLOYED IN MANUFACTURING LIVING-WAGE EQUALISATION INDICES 1996-2009

jussemper.org –

The Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labour issued annual reports of hourly compensation costs for production-line workers (PLWs) in manufacturing all the way back to 1975. However, beginning with the 2010 data, the annual report incorporates all employed in the manufacturing (AEM) sector, and the BLS will no longer publish reports for production workers only. For this reason, Jus Semper has prepared the comparative assessment of production workers’ compensation more...

AEQUUS ÍNDICE – HOMOLOGACIÓN DE SALARIOS DIGNOS EN EL SECTOR MANUFACTURERO

AEQUUS ÍNDICE – HOMOLOGACIÓN DE SALARIOS DIGNOS EN EL SECTOR MANUFACTURERO

jussemper.org –

Desde un principio, LISDINYS desarrolló su índice de homologación de salarios dignos, que mide lo cerca que los salarios reales de los trabajadores manufactureros, en un país específico, están de los de los trabajadores equivalentes en EUA, en términos de paridades de poder de compra. El índice expone ya sea el tamaño de la brecha o, en algunos países, la verdadera ventaja en compensación que los salarios reales tienen sobre los salarios de trabajadores equivalentes en EUA. Dado que en 2011 more...

AEQUUS INDEX – LIVING-WAGE EQUALISATION IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR

AEQUUS INDEX – LIVING-WAGE EQUALISATION IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR

jussemper.org –

From inception, TLWNSI developed its living-wage equalisation index, which measures how close the real wages of manufacturing workers in a specific country are to those of equivalent workers in the U.S. in purchasing-power-parity terms. The index exposes either the size of the gap or, in some countries, the true compensation advantage that real wages have over the wages of equivalent U.S. workers. Given that in 2011 we expanded our list of 13 economies included in our living-wage assessments to more...

jussemper.org –

Los índices de homologación de los salarios por hora para todos los empleados en el sector manufacturero (AEM) registró una poderosa mejora en Argentina en 2011, mientras que en Canadá, Brasil y México no hay cambio significativo de que hablar. Empero, desde ’96 se observan claras tendencias en todos los países respecto a los tipos salariales equivalentes de los trabajadores estadounidenses. Mientras que Argentina aumentó su índice de homologación (Idx-Hm) una octava parte (12,5%) en more...

TABLE T5: NEW 1996-2011 REAL WAGE GAP RATES FOR THE FOUR LARGEST ECONOMIES IN THE AMERICAS (CANADA, BRAZIL, MEXICO AND ARGENTINA), IN PURCHASING POWER PARITY (PPP) TERMS, FOR ALL EMPLOYED IN MANUFACTURING

jussemper.org –

The equalisation indices of hourly wage rates for all employed in the manufacturing sector (AEM) recorded a rather powerful improvement in Argentina in 2011 whereas in Canada, Brazil and Mexico there is no meaningful change to talk about. Yet, since 1996, there are clear trends observed for all countries vis-à-vis the wage rates for equivalent U.S. workers. While Argentina increased its equalisation index (Eq-Idx) by one-eight (12,5%) in just one year (2011) and it has more than more...

Desde 2010 la comparación de costos de compensación por hora (tipo salarial por hora) entre EUA y mercados desarrollados y "emergentes" selectos se refiere a todos los empleados en el sector manufacturero y ya no estará disponible sólo para los trabajadores de producción. Los tipos salariales de producción fueron en promedio 20% inferiores a los tipos de todos los empleados en manufactura, incluyendo a los trabajadores de producción, para el período 1996-2009, para todos los países incluidos en more...

TABLE T5-ASIA AND OCEANIA: 1996-2011 REAL-WAGE GAP RATES FOR ASIA AND OCEANIA, IN PURCHASING POWER PARITY (PPP) TERMS, FOR ALL EMPLOYED IN MANUFACTURING.

jussemper.org –

Since 2010 the international comparison of hourly compensation costs (hourly wage rates) between the U.S. and selected developed and "emerging" markets refers to all employed in the manufacturing sector and no longer will be available for production workers only. Production-line wage rates are on average 20% below wage rates for all employed in manufacturing, including production workers, for the 1996-2009 period, for all countries included in the assessment.
