ISBN: 9780821399712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Climate change and migration are major concerns in the MENA region, yet the empirical evidence on the impact of climate change and extreme weather events on migration remains limited. Information is broadly lacking on how households in vulnerable areas perceive changes in the climate, how they are affected by extreme weather events, whether they benefit from community and government programmes to help them cope with and adapt to a changing climate, and how these conditions influence the decision of household members to migrate, either temporarily or permanently. This introductory chapter...

Infrastructure and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa
ISBN: 9781137381491 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Infrastructure and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa analyzes the extent to which, how, and how fast the infrastructure needs of the poor have been met in Sub-Saharan Africa.

They focus on electricity, water, sanitation, and other services at the core of the day-to-day needs of the population, examining the extent to which reforms of the last 15-20 years have managed to reduce the infrastructure gap. They anchor their analysis...

Gender Disparities in Africa's Labor Market
ISBN: 9780821380666 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Women's earnings are a fraction of male's earnings in several African countries. It is tempting to conclude that this wage gap is a sign of discrimination against women in the labor market. Yet this book uses new datasets to show that the gap is not simply the result of discrimination in the labor markets, but rather the result of multiple factors, including access to education and credit, cultural values and household duties, and, above all, labor market conditions. It shows that gender disparities grow when economies are not functioning well and labor markets are tiny. More than the effect...
