Now, we propose moving for- ward on several levels so that new insights can be gained in the medium and long term. Firstly, to get a better picture of genuine savings, additional natural resources and envi- ronmental damages should be included. In what refers to human capital creation, profes- sional training expenditures should be considered without dis- regarding education and training outcomes. Secondly, to improve the basic GNI measure, non-salaried time activities such as housework, vol- unteer work and leisure time need to be valued and included. Thirdly, to ensure that we are not following paths that are just weakly sustainable, a set of environmental quality indica- tors, namely for critical envi- ronmental services, should be established for international com- parisons. Indicators that refl ect ecosystem resilience, such as biodiversity, require particular precaution as the context is of huge uncertainty. 19 & 20 November 2007 167 Workshop 168 Beyond GDP: Measuring progress, true wealth, and the well-being of nations Session 3 – Panel 1 Breakout session: Key needs and ways forward Thais Corral Executive Director, Rede de Desenvolvimento Humano (REDEH), Brazil Workshop I will address the three discussion questions1 by mentality and culture, so that we can really be offering some examples, because conceptually protective of the forest.

Georges Menahem 1 Director of research at CNRS-CEPN, Paris 13 University and IRDES With a view to better assessment of the roles played by social security and social policy in determining well‐being, this presentation introduces the ”decommodified security ratio“ (DSR), an instrument for evaluating an important duty of the social State, namely to maintain and improve peopleʹs economic security. To that end we describe the conventions for its use and analyse its main components in 24 countries in 1999‐2001, by using the wave V of Luxembourg Income Survey database. From an analysis of the sources of economic security we then distinguish five different rationales. What will tomorrowʹs social protection look like? What tools can assist us in shaping it? We may have to rethink social security when we consider the social shifts which we are currently experiencing: changing patterns of work, breakdown in the wage structure, developments associated with unemployment, precarious employment and exclusion, family instability and countless other factors which jeopardize the individualʹs security. In such context, we are more and more allowed to refer to Articles 22 and 25 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights emphasizing the need for the individual within a society to have ”economic security”, ”social security” and, very specifically (Article 25), ”security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control”.

    Sociologie du travail 48 (2006) e22–e38 http://france.elsevier.com/direct/SOCTRA/ Factory “Homers”: Understanding a Highly Elusive, Marginal, and Illegal Practice1 ☆ Michel Anteby a,b,c a Management & Organizations Department, New York University, 44 West 4th Street, Suite 7-152 New York, NY 10012, USA b Centre de Sociologie des Organisations (CSO-FNSP/CNRS), 19, rue Amelie, 75007 Paris, France c Laboratoire de Sciences Sociales (LSS-ENS-EHESS), 48, boulevard Jourdan 75014 Paris, France Abstract A “homer” is an artifact that a worker produces using company tools and materials outside normal production plans but at the workplace and during workhours. Despite legal, artistic and ethnographic evi- dence of their existence, silence surrounds homers. Along with this evidence, interviews conducted mostly with retirees from a French aeronautics plant are used to show that this silence is not linked just to the marginal and illegal quality of these artifacts. Homers shed light on a high degree of “complicity” between employees regardless of their position in the hierarchy. Since the factory’s institutional frame- work has little room for this complicity, the silence surrounding homers is a sign probably of an inability to talk about them rather than of their marginality or illegality. © 2006 Elsevier SAS.

    International statement of solidarity with UNCTAD 21 April 2012 The undernamed organisations and individuals are appalled and dismayed by proposals to remove from UNCTAD’s mandate its distinctive central element of research and advice on the relationship between developing countries and the international economy, especially but not only in the areas of trade and finance. We therefore express our full support for the Statement by Former Staff Members of UNCTAD, made in Geneva on 11 April 2012, which is reproduced below. We call on all member countries of UNCTAD to accept the distinguished former staff members’ recommendations in full; to withdraw ahead of the UNCTAD-XIII conference in Doha all proposals which would disrupt this traditional focus of UNCTAD; and accept the new mandate originally proposed in the draft text for the Doha conference.
