Titre : Governance and Development Type de document : texte imprimé Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 1992 Importance : 61 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Développement économique Tags : Développement économique Secteur public Dette Développement social Développement Tiers monde Index. décimale : 06.01 Développement - Généralités Résumé : In this booklet, governance is defined as the manner in which power is exercised in the management of a country's economic and social resources for development. Good governance is synonymous with sound development management. The Bank's experience has shown that the programs and projects it helps finance may be technically sound, but fail to deliver anticipated results for reasons connected to the quality of government action. This booklet identifies four areas of governance that are consistent with the Bank's mandate: public sector management, accountability, the legal framework for development, and information and transparency. It focuses on the last three areas, analyzes issues of relevance to the Bank, and cites examples of Bank experience and best practice in the area.

Titre : International migration, economic development and policy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Caglar Özden, Auteur ; Maurice Schiff, Auteur Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 16 p Note générale : 05.01.OZD Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Migrations Tags : Emploi Travail Migration Développement économique Politique économique Index. décimale : 05.01 Travail - Généralités Résumé : This volume reflects the expansion of the World Bank Research Program on International Migration and Development into new substantive and geographic areas. It presents a new global migration database and includes studies of the determinants and impact of return and circular migration, the impact of the flow of ideas on fertility, host country policies and their impact on immigrants, and the impact of international migration and remittances on poverty and other development indicators. The studies cover countries from Latin America, North Africa, South Asia, the South Pacific, and Western Europe, and show that the impact of migration on education and health tends to benefit girls more than boys, that its impact on labor force participation tends to be stronger for women than men, that return migrants tend to do better than non-migrants, and that fertility has tended to decline in countries whose migration has been to the West and has failed to do so in countries whose migration has been to the Gulf. The purpose of the case studies is to illustrate and clarify many theoretical mechanisms and to advance understanding of the impact of different migration policies, given that introducing policy variables in econometric regressions is generally difficult. Each study in this volume aims to answer a variety of development- and policy-related questions using the most appropriate of these three methodologies. These empirical studies and analyses include exploration of some novel hypotheses; they are also new in terms of the topics selected and the regions/ countries examined.

Titre : Labor markets in an era of adjustment : an overview Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Susan Horton, Auteur ; Ravi Kanbur, Auteur ; Dipak Mazumdar Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : May 1991 Collection : Policy Research Working Paper num. WPS694 Importance : 86 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Travail Tags : Emploi Travail Marché du travail PAS Monde Résumé : The authors have written an overview of 19 papers in a symposium devoted to an examination of the interaction between labor markets and adjustment. The purpose of their commentary is to draw general conclusions and policy lessons and to identify areas for further research. The papers include 7 issue papers and 12 country studies (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand). The country studies bring together a wealth of information that will be useful to researchers. The evidence on real wages casts considerable doubt on theoretical concerns about aggregate real wage rigidity and labor market inflexibility as a hinderance to adjustment. Declines in real wages have been dramatic and often far greater than the fall in GDP. For some countries, the declines in real wages may have been large enough to have aggregated demand effects that inhibit recovery. The studies also discuss the consequences of labor market adjustment on income distribution, gender, and human capital. The conclusions here are less clear-cut. The issue papers highlight complexities that point to country-specific answers. While real wage declines will worsen poverty, improvement in the rural-urban terms of trade during adjustment will have the opposite effect. Similarly, while employment shrinkages are likely to affect women adversely, a high female-labor intensity of tradables can serve as a countervailing force.

Titre : Privatization and labor : what happens to workers when governments divest? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sunita Kikeri, Auteur Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 1998 Collection : World Bank Technical Paper num. 396 Importance : 46 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Libéralisation Tags : Emploi Travail Secteur public Privatisation Index. décimale : 04.05 Services publics Résumé : Many developing countries have launched ambitious privatization programs to improve. A universal concern in this process is that privatization will cause major job losses as new owners of privatized firms shed excess labor to improve efficiency and as divesting governments cut the workforce to prepare for privatization. Drawing on the experiences of mixed economies, this paper examines the effects privatization has on labor. It also attempts to find out the mechanisms that governments can use to minimize the political and social costs of labor adjustments and the conditions they work best. The paper finds that in cases where efficiency improvements require large scale labor force adjustments, privatization can proceed smoothly if governments take early steps to inform and involve labor unions and workers in the reform process, develop a menu of restructuring options, help workers on a targeted basis to reintegrate into the labor market, and eliminate obstacles to private job creation. The paper concludes with a brief review of World Bank support for labor adjustment in the context of enterprise restructuring and privatization.
