Para ello se analizan los efectos de la incorporación de la mujer en el último periodo expansivo en términos de actividad y ocupación, los efectos de la reciente crisis económica en la actividad femenina y una cuantificación del valor económico de la participación de la mujer en actividades remuneradas. [...] Mujer y economía sostenible: balance y perspectivas 11 DT 01 2 La actividad y la ocupación en el último periodo expansivo: efectos de la incorporación de la mujer Uno de los fenómenos más destacables de la última etapa de crecimiento que ha experimentado España entre los años 1995-2007 ha sido la incorporación de la mujer al mercado de trabajo, hecho que ha llevado al conjunto de nuestra sociedad. [...] En el caso de los hombres este aumento ha obedecido casi exclusivamente a la destrucción de empleo, mientras que en el caso de las mujeres el aumento de la tasa de paro se encuentra tanto en la destrucción de empleo como en el incremento de su disposición a buscar trabajo, lo que incrementa su tasa de actividad. [...] Esta estimación es una cota inferior de la contribución de la mujer al PIB y probablemente estemos infraestimando la contribución de la mujer a la economía española debido a que no estamos contemplando la producción en la economía informal, ni el valor económico de la aportación de las mujeres a la "producción doméstica" de bienes y servicios para los demás miembros de sus familias. [...] Sobre la base de los resultados expuestos en este documento, planteamos una serie de propuestas para avanzar en la igualdad efectiva de género de forma que contribuyan a lograr los siguientes objetivos: Garantizar la igualdad de acceso y la plena participación de las mujeres en las estructuras de poder y en la adopción de decisiones 1.

"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999.

For pathways to be truly sustainable and advance gender equality and the rights and capabilities of women and girls, those whose lives and well-being are at stake must be involved in leading the way. Gender Equality and Sustainable Development calls for policies, investments and initiatives in sustainable development that recognize women’s knowledge, agency and decision-making as fundamental. Four key sets of issues - work and industrial production; population and reproduction; food and agriculture, and water, sanitation and energy provide focal lenses through which these challenges are considered. Perspectives from new feminist political ecology and economy are integrated, alongside issues of rights, relations and power. The book untangles the complex interactions between different dimensions of gender relations and of sustainability, and explores how policy and activism can build synergies between them. Finally, this book demonstrates how plural pathways are possible; underpinned by different narratives about gender and sustainability, and how the choices between these are ultimately political. This timely book will be of great interest to students, scholars, practitioners and policy makers working on gender, sustainable development, development studies and ecological economics.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.
