The richest quintile of the population in the region accounts for some 56 per cent national incomes, for instance.1 The COVID-19 pandemic has now widened the gap. In the wake of closing and suffering businesses, incomes have dropped and unemployment has risen with millions of households struggling to get by.2 Moreover, the digital divide -- notably the lack of high-speed broadband internet and appropriate digital skills -- have prevented many people, especially the most vulnerable, from working or studying from home during the crisis.3 In these unprecedented circumstances, 22 million more people have fallen below the poverty line in the region, returning to 2008 levels.4 The LAC region finds itself stuck in a dual “trap” of persistently high inequality and low productivity. This new report examines the different dynamics that create this trap. In particular, it highlights how inequalities that lead to the concentration of power in the hands of a few can distort public policies in ways that perpetuate existing patterns of inequality and stifle productivity -- leaving an increasing number of citizens frustrated with the status quo. This publication also highlights a number of solutions which have emerged and are being tested in the region -- most notably in the form of universal, inclusive, fiscally sustainable, and growth-friendly social protection systems. These can help prevent segmentation of the labour market, provide predictable and reliable risk protection to households, redistribute income towards lower-income groups, and help to allocate resources towards economic activities that increase productivity and long-term growth. The region will also play a key part in the global green recovery. Colombia, for instance, aims to reduce its Greenhouse Gas emissions by 51 per cent by 2030.5 Or consider Chile, which is committing at least $1.3 billion to environmentally friendly measures such as installing electric bus terminals and retrofitting public buildings.6 The challenge now is to ensure that all countries -- and people -- in the region reap the benefits of a green economy that creates new opportunities in the form of jobs and livelihoods. This transition will reduce poverty and inequality -- and stimulate human development growth. Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, these new green economies will also boost our collective ability to take decisive climate action as well as our efforts to protect and restore our natural world. As an intensive public dialogue takes place across the region on how countries can best realise this greener, more inclusive, and more sustainable future, we hope that this report will help to chart a bold new path forward for the entire region.

  • The Politics of Homophobia in Brazil: Congress and Social (Counter)Mobilization
    The Politics of Homophobia in Brazil: Congress and Social (counter)Mobilization by Robert Tyler Valiquette A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Political Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert Tyler Valiquette, June, 2017 ABSTRACT THE POLITICS OF HOMOPHOBIA IN BRAZIL: CONGRESS AND SOCAIL (COUNTER)MOBILIZATION Tyler Valiquette Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor J Díez In recent years, Latin America has seen significant progress in the expansion of LGBT rights such as the implementation of same-sex marriage and the creation of some of the world’s most advanced gender identity laws. Brazil was at the front of this progression and by the early 2000’s, scholars believed Brazil was poised to emerge as Latin America’s gay rights champion. Despite some advancements, the image of Brazil as a gay rights champion is nebulous. The Brazilian Congress has failed in passing federal legislation protecting sexual minorities from violence and discrimination and this thesis seeks to answer why. Qualitative interviews were conducted with LGBT activists, political aides, politicians and Evangelical Pastors. Ultimately this thesis argues that Brazil does not have LGBT anti- discrimination policy because of two factors: 1) a weakening LGBT social movement and 2) a strong countermovement to LGBT rights. iii Acknowledgements Thanks is offered to numerous people upon the completion of this thesis. First, my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Jordi Díez. I first contacted Dr. Díez in 2015 with a simple idea for research. From that moment on, Dr. Díez offered limitless support.

López-Calva, Nora Lustig2 Lead Authors: Augustin Fosu, Sripad Motiram, Flora Myamba, Andreas Peichl, Sanjay Reddy, Eldar Shafir, Ana Sojo, Ingrid Woolard3 Contributing Authors: Shai Davidai, Michael Förster, Rahul Lahoti, Judith Sutz, Rainer Thiele4 Abstract Inequality and its effects on societies have received increasing prominence in debates among economists and social scientists and in policy circles over the past thirty years. There are many, often interacting inequalities and different forms of inequality. Wide income and wealth inequality has harmful consequences for the economic welfare of societies, social cohesion, and other factors that intrinsically and instrumentally diminish social progress. While between- country income inequality has been falling recently, within-country inequality has been rising to varying degrees in most industrialized and many developing countries, though the experience of 1 Acknowledgments: Note that all authors have contributed to this chapter in their personal capacity and any views expressed here should not be attributed to the organizations the authors are affiliated to. 2 Affiliations: University of Florence, Florence; Ibero-American General Secretariat, Madrid; University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany; World Bank, Washington, DC; Tulane University, New Orleans. 3 Affiliations: University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana; University of Massachusetts, Boston, and Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, Mumbai; REPOA, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Center for European Economic Research, Mannheim, Germany; The New School, New York; Princeton University, Princeton, NJ; United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, Santiago, Chile; University of Cape Town, Cape Town.

  • The Levy Institute Generates Effective Public Policy Responses to Economic Problems That Profoundly Affect the Quality of Life in the United States and Abroad
    Biennial Report 2004–2005 The Levy Economics Institute of Bard College was founded in 1986, through the generous support of Bard College Trustee Leon Levy, as a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. It is independent of any political or other affiliation and encourages diversity of opinion in the examination of economic issues. The purpose of all Levy Institute research and activities is to enable scholars and leaders in business, labor, and government to work together on problems of common interest. Levy Institute findings are disseminated—via publications, conferences, workshops, seminars, congressional testimony, and other activities—to an international audience of public officials, private sector executives, academics, and the general public. Through this process of scholarship, analysis, and informed debate, the Levy Institute generates effective public policy responses to economic problems that profoundly affect the quality of life in the United States and abroad. The Levy Institute’s main conference and research facility is Blithewood Manor, on the campus of Bard College, located 90 miles north of New York City. The Levy Institute is housed in Blithewood Manor at Bard College. 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 4 NEW INITIATIVE 6 RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS : .. , : , - () : : : , , 26 CONFERENCES 36 THE LEVY INSTITUTE BOOK SERIES 37 BIOGRAPHIES OF INSTITUTE SCHOLARS 44 BOARD, ADMINISTRATION, AND RESEARCH STAFF MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT In the biennial reports of previous years, I described how the Levy Institute draws inspiration and guid- ance not only from its founders and scholars but from a world facing many new and daunting chal- lenges. Our efforts to redefine economics and public policy continue to attract notice and exert influ- ence, nationally and internationally.

  • LETTER to G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS
    LETTER TO G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS We write to call for urgent action to address the global education emergency triggered by Covid-19. With over 1 billion children still out of school because of the lockdown, there is now a real and present danger that the public health crisis will create a COVID generation who lose out on schooling and whose opportunities are permanently damaged. While the more fortunate have had access to alternatives, the world’s poorest children have been locked out of learning, denied internet access, and with the loss of free school meals - once a lifeline for 300 million boys and girls – hunger has grown. An immediate concern, as we bring the lockdown to an end, is the fate of an estimated 30 million children who according to UNESCO may never return to school. For these, the world’s least advantaged children, education is often the only escape from poverty - a route that is in danger of closing. Many of these children are adolescent girls for whom being in school is the best defence against forced marriage and the best hope for a life of expanded opportunity. Many more are young children who risk being forced into exploitative and dangerous labour. And because education is linked to progress in virtually every area of human development – from child survival to maternal health, gender equality, job creation and inclusive economic growth – the education emergency will undermine the prospects for achieving all our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and potentially set back progress on gender equity by years.

We will not achieve the Sustainable Development Goals if there is no accelerated action to empower women economically. We know that women’s participation in all spheres of life, including in the economy, is essential to sustainable and durable peace and to the realization of human rights”. Despite progress achieved in the last years, the COVID-19 pandemic poses a threat for gender equality, as it has deepened pre-existing inequalities and structural barriers that limits equal access and distribution of opportunities in the marketplace (unemployment, low wages, vulnerable jobs), as well as at home (burden of unpaid care work, violence against women).

  • Womenand Global Leadership
    Women and Global Leadership Report of the Women’s Leadership Conference of the Americas April 2004 Women and Global Leadership Report of the Women’s Leadership Conference of the Americas April 2004 Foreword he numbers of women occupying senior leadership positions in foreign and economic policy making Tin the Western Hemisphere have dramatically increased in the past two decades. In increasing numbers, women occupy top posts in international organizations and in foreign, fi nance, trade, and defense ministries in national governments. These impressive gains, however, have been uneven across countries and institu- tions—and still lag behind women’s educational achievement and their participation in the workforce. As with politics in general, the highest circles of power still remain largely male-dominated. Women are often held back by pervasive, subtle, and sometimes unacknowledged attitudes about their proper place and role in society. Nonetheless, women’s numbers and infl uence are growing. These are the major conclusions of a report commissioned by the Women’s Leadership Conference of the Americas (WLCA)—a joint initiative of the Inter-American Dialogue and the International Center for Research on Women. The report concludes with measures that leaders can implement to foster continued progress. Inter- national organizations and national governments should systematize and maintain gender-disaggregated statistics, and make them accessible to the public; they should be held accountable for setting goals and implementing policies and practices that promote gender equity at the highest levels; they should analyze the reasons for gender inequity at the upper levels, and come up with timetables and plans to remedy the situation; and international organizations and national governments should create infrastructures to provide families with adequate childcare options.
