Child labor, schooling and household wealth in African rural area

ceps.lu –

This work uses MVPROBIT model and MICS surveys from rural areas of 8 sub- Saharan African countries to highlight the link between household wealth and child labor. It opposes “wealth paradox” approach of Bhalotra and Heady (2003) to “luxury axiom” approach of Basu and Van (1998). This analysis is based on the assumption of differences in the wealth’s effect according to the gender and the type of labor. The results suggest that heterogeneity among children (gender) and labor activities leads to more...

Swedish-African Forest Relations

sifi.se –

It was felt that it would be useful to try to record as much as possible of what Swedish individuals and institutions have been doing in the wide field of forestry in collaboration with colleagues and counterpart institutions in Africa before this knowledge is lost. After all, the development of sustainable forest management, and industries based on this, has contributed very significantly to the economic and social well-being of Sweden, and it can only be hoped that there will be a reawakened more...

WTO Decision-Making for the Future

wto.org –

Decision making in the WTO has become ever more difficult as the number of members increases and the range of issues tackled broadens. This paper looks at reasons why aspects of decision-making might be changed and discusses a number of potential pitfalls that change would have to avoid, such as a dilution of commitments and fragmentation of the multilateral trading system. It then takes a detailed look at the notion of ‘critical mass’ decision-making. It argues for this approach under certain more...

The Economic Value of the Willingness-to-Pay for a Community-Based Prepayment Scheme in Rural Cameroon

csae.ox.ac.uk –

In rural areas of Cameroon, many poor people do not have access to health care services and this has been largely attributed to lack of private out-of-pocket payment to finance health care services. A Community-based prepayment scheme as a strategy to increase access to health care has not received considerable interest by rural households in Cameroon. Hence, this study seeks to assess the economic value of a community-based prepayment health care system by the rural households in Cameroon. To more...

Attacks on the Press in 2010

cpj.org –

Technology has made the life of journalists so much easier and yet so much more difficult. Reporting is hard to manipulate when the information can be on television, radio, and the Web before anyone else can get their hands on the message. So what are the options if this reporting is to be stopped? More and more, intimidation has become the tool of choice. NESCO is the primary entity within the United Nations dedicated to the defense of press freedom. Yet in 2010, journalism and human rights more...
