    Abstract: In 2012, the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region continued its successful drive to reduce poverty and build the middle class. Poverty reduction was accompanied by strong income growth of the bottom 40 percent of the population, the World Bank's indicator of shared prosperity. However, the recent economic slowdown and stagnation in inequality decline suggest that future social gains may be more difficult to achieve. Given the modest prospects ahead, the region's poverty reduction strategy needs to focus on restoring growth and preserving macroeconomic stability, while reinforcing the ability of less advantaged groups to participate in and contribute to growth. This report assesses two relevant policy areas: equity of fiscal policy and equal access to basic goods and services for children that open the opportunity for them to lead lives of their choosing. Drawing on results from the Commitment to Equity project, the report shows that fiscal policy remains an underused instrument in terms of level and incidence of taxation and spending. The Human Opportunity Index underscores that opportunities are expanding for children in the region, but large gaps remain in access and quality

    Abstract: World Development Indicators 2015 provides a compilation of relevant, highquality, and internationally comparable statistics about global development and the fight against poverty. It is intended to help policymakers, students, analysts, professors, program managers, and citizens find and use data related to all aspects of development, including those that help monitor progress toward the World Bank Group's two goals of ending poverty and promoting shared prosperity. Six themes are used to organize indicators-world view, people, environment, economy, states and markets, and global links. As in past editions, World Development Indicators reviews global progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and provides key indicators related to poverty. WDI 2015 includes: * A selection of the most popular indicators across 214 economies and 14 country groups organized into six WDI themes * Thematic and regional highlights, providing an overview of global development trends * An in-depth review of the progress made toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals * A user guide describing resources available online and on mobile apps A complementary online data analysis tool is available this year to allow readers to further investigate global, regional, and country progress on the MDGs: data.worldbank.org/mdgs. Each of the remaining sections includes an introduction; six stories highlighting specific global, regional or country trends; and a table of the most relevant and popular indicators for that theme, together with a discussion of indicator compilation methodology. WDI DataFinder Mobile App Download the WDI DataFinder Mobile App and other Data Apps at data.worldbank.org/apps. WDI DataFinder is a mobile app for browsing the current WDI database on smartphones and tablets, using iOS, Android, and Blackberry, available in four languages: English, French, Spanish, and Chinese. Use the app to: * browse data using the structure of the WDI * visually compare countries and indicators * create, edit, and save customized tables, charts, and maps * share what you create on Twitter, Facebook, and via email

    Abstract: Les technologies de l'information et de la communication révolutionnent non seulement la vitesse de transmission des informations, mais aussi les modalités de diffusion et de réception de ces dernières. Les innovations technologiques modifient en profondeur les types de compétences requises à l'heure actuelle sur le marché du travail et les catégories d'emplois offrant le meilleur potentiel de croissance. La plupart de ces emplois nécessitent désormais une certaine familiarité avec la navigation sur support électronique, voire la maîtrise de cette dernière qui demande aux lecteurs de déterminer eux-mêmes la structure de ce qu'ils lisent au lieu de suivre simplement l'ordre pré-établi du texte, comme dans un livre…

Ce ne sont ni les pays qui réalisent les dépenses d'éducation les plus importantes, ni les pays les plus riches ; il s'agit plutôt des pays qui s'engagent à offrir à l'ensemble de leurs élèves une éducation de qualité, forts de la conviction que la réussite est à la portée de tous.

    Abstract: Cette publication présente le fondement théorique qui sous-tend l’élaboration de la dernière enquête PISA. Ce cadre retravaillé et étendu couvre non seulement l’évaluation des compétences en lecture et en compréhension de textes imprimés, mais aussi une composante innovante qui permet d’évaluer les compétences des élèves en lecture, navigation et compréhension de textes électroniques. Par ailleurs, cette publication fournit également la base d’évaluation des compétences en mathématiques et en sciences. Enfin, elle présente la théorie sur laquelle reposent les questionnaires utilisés pour rassembler des informations de la part des élèves, des établissements scolaires et des parents sur des sujets tels que le contexte familial et les approches des élèves vis-à-vis de l’apprentissage et des environnements scolaires.

    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Dans un contexte de concurrence féroce pour rentrer dans les bonnes universités et décrocher les bons emplois, les élèves de l’enseignement secondaire sont souvent encouragés à suivre des cours supplémentaires après la classe dans les matières déjà enseignées dans leur établissement afin d’améliorer leurs performances – même si cela suppose de renoncer à d’autres façons amusantes et intéressantes d’occuper leur temps libre après la classe, comme de faire du sport, de prendre des cours de musique ou de travailler bénévolement dans un centre ou hôpital de la communauté. Dans les pays de l’OCDE, les élèves passent, en moyenne, près de deux heures et demie par semaine dans des cours supplémentaires après la classe. En Corée, en Grèce, en Israël et en Turquie, et dans les pays partenaires, en Azerbaïdjan, au Kirghizistan, au Qatar et en Tunisie, ils y passent même plus de quatre heures et demie. Cet investissement dans les cours de soutien est-il rentable ? ...

    Abstract: Les élèves sont-ils bien préparés à relever les défis que l’avenir leur réserve ? Sont-ils capables d’analyser, de raisonner et de communiquer leurs idées de manière probante ? Ont-ils découvert la nature des objectifs qu’ils poursuivront leur vie durant en tant que membres productifs de l’économie et de la société ? Le Programme international de l’OCDE pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) cherche à répondre à ces questions au travers de l’évaluation internationale la plus complète et la plus rigoureuse des connaissances et compétences des élèves. Pris ensemble, les pays et économies participant au PISA représentent près de 90 % de l’économie mondiale. Les Résultats du PISA 2009 présentent les conclusions du dernier cycle d’évaluation PISA, dont le domaine principal d’évaluation était la compréhension de l’écrit, mais qui s’est également attaché aux compétences des élèves en mathématiques et en sciences. Ce rapport est publié en six volumes. Le volume I, Savoirs et savoir-faire des élèves : Performance des élèves en compréhension de l’écrit, en mathématiques et en sciences, compare le profil de connaissances et de compétences des élèves entre les différents pays et économies.

    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Les classes et les établissements d’enseignement qui déplorent davantage de problèmes de discipline sont moins propices à l’apprentissage, puisque les enseignants doivent passer plus de temps à faire régner le calme avant de pouvoir commencer la classe. Les interruptions de cours perturbent la concentration des élèves et leur engagement en classe. Les résultats du P ISA 2009 montrent que le climat de discipline est fortement corrélé à la performance des élèves ; ceux qui déclarent que leurs cours dans la langue d’instruction sont souvent interrompus obtiennent de moins bons résultats que ceux qui ne signalent que peu d’interruptions des cours, voire aucune...

    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: C’est une évidence : l’enseignement préprimaire est bénéfique pour les élèves. Les résultats de l’enquête PISA 2009 montrent que, dans la quasi-totalité des pays de l’OCDE, les élèves de 15 ans ayant suivi un enseignement préprimaire obtiennent de meilleurs résultats que les autres. Ainsi, l’écart de score entre les élèves ayant suivi un enseignement préprimaire pendant plus d’un an et ceux n’ayant pas du tout suivi ce type d’enseignement s’élève à 54 points sur l’échelle PISA de compréhension de l’écrit – soit plus d’une année d’études (qui équivaut à 39 points). Si la plupart des élèves ayant suivi un enseignement préprimaire sont issus de milieux favorisés, l’écart de performance persiste même lorsque l’on compare des élèves issus de milieux similaires. Après contrôle du milieu socio-économique, les élèves ayant suivi un enseignement préprimaire obtiennent un score supérieur de 33 points, en moyenne, à celui des élèves n’ayant pas suivi ce type d’enseignement...

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Improving Performance: Leading from the Bottom
    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Les cycles d’enquête PISA 2000 et PISA 2009 ayant tous deux pour domaine majeur d’évaluation la compréhension de l’écrit, il est possible de suivre de façon détaillée les évolutions de la performance des élèves dans ce domaine sur cette période. Sur les 26 pays présentant des résultats comparables aux deux évaluations, l’Allemagne, le Chili, la Corée, la Hongrie, Israël, le Pologne et le Portugal, et dans les pays partenaires, l’Albanie, le Brésil, l’Indonésie, la Lettonie, le Liechtenstein et le Pérou, ont tous enregistré une progression globale de leurs résultats en compréhension de l’écrit. Le caractère hétérogène de ce groupe de pays montre bien que les améliorations sont possibles, quel que soit le contexte culturel du pays ou le niveau initial de ses élèves. La Corée, par exemple, faisait déjà partie des pays les plus performants en 2000 et a poursuivi sa progression en 2009 ; la Pologne a évolué d’un niveau inférieur à un niveau supérieur à la moyenne de l’OCDE, tandis que le Chili est passé d’un rang de classement relativement bas à un rang beaucoup plus proche de celui des autres pays de l’OCDE...

    Abstract: Les systèmes d’éducation font face de différentes façons au défi de la diversité des effectifs scolarisés. Certains pays adoptent un système d’éducation global non sélectif qui vise à garantir l’égalité des chances dans l’apprentissage pour l’ensemble des élèves, laissant aux établissements et aux enseignants le soin de gérer la diversité des besoins des élèves. D’autres pays regroupent les élèves, que ce soit dans d’autres établissements ou d’autres classes au sein même des établissements, de façon à les prendre en charge selon leur potentiel académique, leurs intérêts et/ou leur comportement. Le redoublement des élèves peu performants ou le transfert vers un autre établissement des élèves présentant de faibles résultats ou des problèmes de discipline sont, à cet effet, deux pratiques courantes de regroupement...

Lors des enquêtes PISA 2006 et 2009, les élèves résilients ont affiché de bonnes performances malgré leur milieu d’origine défavorisé. Contre toute attente, ils ont obtenu de meilleurs résultats que leurs pairs issus du même milieu socio-économique pour se classer dans le quartile supérieur de performance au niveau international...

Au cours des prochaines décennies, la modernisation des moyens de transport et de communication, la mondialisation des marchés de l’emploi et le vieillissement des populations des pays de l’OCDE constitueront autant de facteurs déclencheurs de migrations. Le maintien de la cohésion sociale face à ces movements migratoires passera par l’intégration des immigrés et de leurs familles dans le pays d’adoption. À cet égard, l’éducation constitue un puissant moteur d’assimilation...

    Keywords: Education ; Social Issues/Migration/Health
    Abstract: À l’heure actuelle, le climat politique mondial souligne la nécessité de s’intéresser davantage aux composantes non-économiques du bien-être et du progrès social telles que la santé, l’engagement social, l’intérêt pour la politique ou la criminalité. L’éducation contribue largement à façonner ces indicateurs de progrès social. Néanmoins, les liens et mécanismes de causalité, l’influence des contextes et l’impact relatif des différentes mesures éducatives sur ces indicateurs sont encore mal compris. Le présent rapport a pour objet d’apporter des éléments de réponse aux problèmes rencontrés dans l’évaluation des retombées sociales de l’éducation ; à cet effet, il présente une synthèse des données probantes disponibles, passe en revue un certain nombre d’analyses de données antérieures et examine les débats politiques. La conclusion de ce rapport est que l’éducation peut contribuer à améliorer la santé et l’engagement civique et social. Elle peut réduire les inégalités en développant les compétences cognitives, sociales et émotionnelles, mais aussi en favorisant l’adoption d’un mode de vie sain et de pratiques et de valeurs participatives. Les efforts menés en milieu scolaire sont plus susceptibles de porter leurs fruits s’ils sont complétés par ceux de la famille et de l’environnement social élargi – d’où la nécessité d’améliorer la cohérence entre les différentes politiques sectorielles, mais aussi entre les différents niveaux d’enseignement.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. The High Cost of Low Educational Performance: The Long-run Economic Impact of Improving PISA Outcomes
    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Malgré la volonté souvent réitérée d’améliorer la qualité de l’éducation, celle-ci se voit souvent reléguée derrière d’autres priorités de l’action publique. En effet, le nécessaire décalage temporel entre les investissements en matière d’éducation et leur rentabilisation peut conduire à sous-estimer la valeur et l’intérêt des améliorations apportées. Ce rapport fait appel à de récentes modélisations économiques pour établir une relation entre les compétences cognitives – telles que mesurées par le PISA et d’autres instruments internationaux – et la croissance économique, démontrant ainsi que des améliorations relativement modestes des compétences de la population active peuvent avoir de fortes incidences sur le bien-être futur d’une nation. Il montre aussi que c’est la qualité des acquis scolaires et non la durée de la scolarité qui fait la différence. Un objectif modeste, consistant à relever de 25 points le score moyen de l’ensemble des pays de l’OCDE au PISA dans les 20 prochaines années, impliquerait un gain total du produit intérieur brut de l’OCDE de 115 000 milliards USD sur la durée de vie de la génération née en 2010. Ce gain pourrait même avoisiner les 260 000 milliards USD si d’autres objectifs plus ambitieux étaient retenus. Même si ces projections comportent une part d’incertitude, les gains exprimés en produit intérieur brut courant dépassent largement la valeur de la gestion des cycles économiques à court terme. Il faut certes tenter d’agir sur les problèmes de récession économique, mais pas au détriment des considérations de long terme. POUR EN SAVOIR PLUS PISA 2006 : Les compétences en sciences, un atout pour réussir (OCDE, 2007) LE PROGRAMME INTERNATIONAL POUR LE SUIVI DES ACQUIS DES ÉLÈVES (PISA) DE L’OCDE PISA est le fruit d’un effort concerté entre 30 pays membres de l’OCDE et près de 30 pays et économies partenaires. Ce processus met en synergie l’expertise des pays participants. Il est dirigé par les gouvernements de ceux-ci et reflète leurs préoccupations communes en matière d’action publique. Parmi ses caractéristiques uniques, citons notamment : – Le concept de « culture » : PISA définit chaque domaine d’évaluation (la culture mathématique, la culture scientifique, la compréhension de l’écrit) non pas en termes d’assimilation du programme d’enseignement, mais en termes de connaissances et de compétences indispensables pour une pleine participation à la société. – L’engagement à long terme : PISA permet aux pays de suivre régulièrement leurs progrès sur la voie de l’accomplissement d’objectifs clés en matière d’enseignement. – La classe d’âge de la population évaluée : PISA évalue les connaissances et les compétences des élèves de 15 ans, c’est-à-dire des jeunes qui approchent du terme de leur scolarité obligatoire. Cette démarche permet de fournir des indications probantes sur les performances des systèmes d’enseignement. – La pertinence de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie : PISA ne se limite pas à évaluer les connaissances et les compétences des élèves, il demande également à ceux-ci de rendre compte de leur propre expérience : leur motivation à l’idée d’apprendre, l’image qu’ils ont d’eux-mêmes et les stratégies d’apprentissage qu’ils privilégient.

    Abstract: This report examines how the competencies acquired by young Canadians at age 15 influence their participation in post secondary studies. These competencies are measured through the PISA results which were obtained through a sample of Canadian students who took the PISA test in 2000 at age 15. The report seeks to answer the following questions: • How do the results of the PISA reading tests influence the choice to go on to post secondary studies? • How do the PISA results influence the choice to go to university or college? • How do the PISA results influence the choice to study different subjects at post secondary level? • How do the PISA results influence the choice to keep students on throughout post secondary studies? • How do the above factors vary between young immigrants and young Canadians by birth and between linguistic minorities (francophones outside of Québec and anglophones from Québec) and other young Canadians (francophones from Québec and anglophones from the rest of Canada).

    Abstract: "The relationship between wealth and child labor has been widely examined. This paper uses three rounds of time-series, cross-sectional data to examine the relationship between wealth and child labor and schooling. The paper finds that wealth is crucial in determining a child's activities, but that this factor is far from being a sufficient condition to enroll a child in school. This is particularly the case for rural girls. Nonparametric analysis shows a universal increase in school enrollment for rural girls from 1998 to 2006. This increase is independent of wealth (measured by per capita expenditure). Multinomial logit regression further shows that wealth is insignificant in determining rural girls' activity decisions. Thus, interventions to increase school enrollment should incorporate broad-targeted, demand-side interventions as well as supply-side interventions. "--World Bank web site

    Keywords: Income ; Poverty ; Income ; Poverty
    Abstract: "Seasonal poverty in Bangladesh, locally known as monga, refers to seasonal deprivation of food during the pre-harvest season of Aman rice. An analysis of household income and expenditure survey data shows that average household income and consumption are much lower during monga season than in other seasons, and that seasonal income greatly influences seasonal consumption. However, lack of income and consumption smoothing is more acute in greater Rangpur, the North West region, than in other regions, causing widespread seasonal deprivation. The analysis shows that agricultural income diversification accompanied by better access to micro-credit, irrigation, education, electrification, social safety net programs, and dynamic labor markets has helped reduce seasonality in income and poverty in regions other than Rangpur in the recent past. Hence, government policies should promote income diversification through infrastructure investments and provide income transfers to the targeted poor to contain income seasonality and poverty in this impoverished part of Bangladesh.

    Keywords: Education ; Reading ; Education ; Reading
    Abstract: "Based on analysis of reading performance data from 475 third-graders in Peru, this study makes recommendations on improving reading tests, choice of reading standards, and how to present the results at the school and individual levels. The paper reviews the literature on using reading skills measurement in the early grades to guide policymaking, strengthen accountability, and improve education quality. It uses data generated from the same students using two common approaches to measuring reading skills: an individually-administered oral fluency test, and a group-administered written comprehension test designed by the Ministry of Education for the 2006 universal standard test of second grade reading comprehension. These two approaches have sometimes been presented as competing alternatives, but the paper shows that it is better if they are used together, as complements. Based on psychometric analysis, the paper shows that both the oral and written tests adequately measured students' reading abilities. The results show that reading fluency and comprehension are correlated: fluent readers are more likely to understand what they read than non-fluent readers. The strength of the fluency-comprehension relationship depends on the level of fluency, the difficulty of the questions, and social characteristics of the school. The paper recommends using improved versions of both tests to evaluate early grade reading skills, as a central element of a system of accountability for results. It proposes a model for reporting test results desgned to highlight the importance of reading standards, mobilize the education community to reach them, track progress, and identify students in need of extra support.

    Keywords: Education ; Fertility, Human ; Teenage pregnancy ; Education ; Fertility, Human ; Teenage pregnancy
    Abstract: "Completing additional years of education necessarily entails spending more time in school. There is naturally a rather mechanical effect of schooling on fertility if women tend not to have children while continuing to attend high school or college, thus delaying the beginning of and shortening their reproductive life. This paper uses data from the Kenyan Demographic and Health Surveys of 1989, 1993, 1998, and 2003 to uncover the impact of staying one more year in school on teenage fertility. To get around the endogeneity issue between schooling and fertility preferences, the analysis uses the 1985 Kenyan education reform as an instrument for years of education. The authors find that adding one more year of education decreases by at least 10 percentage points the probability of giving birth when still a teenager. The probability of having one's first child before age 20, when having at least completed primary education, is about 65 percent; therefore, for this means a reduction of about 15 percent in teenage fertility rates for this group. One additional year of school curbs the probability of becoming a mother each year by 7.3 percent for women who have completed at least primary education, and 5.6 percent for women with at least a secondary degree. These results (robust to a wide array of specifications) are of crucial interest to policy and decision makers who set up health and educational policies. This paper shows that investing in education can have positive spillovers on health. "--World Bank web site

    Abstract: "The authors analyze five rounds of National Sample Survey data covering 1983, 1987/8, 1993/4, 1999/0, and 2004/5 to explore the relationship between rural diversification and poverty. Poverty in rural India declined at a modest rate during this period. The authors provide region-level estimates that illustrate considerable geographic heterogeneity in this progress. Poverty estimates correlate well with region-level data on changes in agricultural wage rates. Agricultural labor remains the preserve of the uneducated and also to a large extent of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Although agricultural labor grew as a share of total economic activity over the first four rounds, it had fallen back to the levels observed at the beginning of the survey period by 2004. This all-India trajectory masks widely varying trends across states. During this period, the rural non-farm sector grew modestly, mainly between the last two survey rounds. Regular non-farm employment remains largely associated with education levels and social status that are rare among the poor. However, casual labor and self-employment in the non-farm sector reveal greater involvement by disadvantaged groups in 2004 than in the preceding rounds. The implication for poverty is not immediately clear - the poor may be pushed into low-return casual non-farm activities due to lack of opportunities in the agricultural sector rather than being pulled by high returns offered by the non-farm sector. Econometric estimates reveal that expansion of the non-farm sector is associated with falling poverty via two routes: a direct impact on poverty that is likely due to a pro-poor marginal incidence of non-farm employment expansion; and an indirect impact attributable to the positive effect of non-farm employment growth on agricultural wages. The analysis also confirms the important contribution to rural poverty reduction from agricultural productivity, availability of land, and consumption levels in proximate urban areas.

    Abstract: "This paper examines the impacts of natural disasters on schooling investments with special focus on the roles of ex-ante actions and ex-post responses using panel data from Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Malawi. The importance of ex-ante actions depends on disaster risks and the likelihood of public assistance, which potentially creates substitution between the two actions. The findings show that higher future probabilities of disasters increase the likelihood of holding more human capital and/or livestock relative to land, and this asset-portfolio effect is significant in disaster prone areas. The empirical results support the roles of both ex-ante and ex-post responses (public assistance) in coping with disasters, but also show interesting variations across countries. In Ethiopia, public assistance plays a more important role than ex-ante actions to mitigate the impact of shocks on child schooling. In contrast, households in Malawi rely more on private ex-ante actions than public assistance. The Bangladesh example shows active roles of both ex-ante and ex-post actions. These observations are consistent with the finding on the relationship between ex-ante actions and disaster risks. The results also show that among ex-ante actions, human capital accumulated in the household prior to disasters helps mitigate the negative effects of disasters in both the short and long runs.

    Abstract: "This paper studies how liberalization affects productivity growth using micro-level plant data. While previous studies have already shown the existence of a positive relationship between competition and economic performance, the novelty of this paper is that it analyzes not only the average impact of liberalization, but also goes "beyond the average" and shows how the liberalization can affect dissimilar plants in a different way. The author first develops a model which predicts that, while the impact of liberalization on productivity growth is positive "on average", more advanced firms tend to benefit more. In fact, liberalization generates two competing effects: on one side it spurs more innovative efforts because of the increased entry threat by foreign competitors, on the other side, enhanced competition curtails expected profits and reduces the funds available to finance innovative activities. The pro-competitive effect is weaker for less advanced firms as for them it is harder to catch-up with the "technology frontier". These predictions are then tested focusing on Mexican plants during the NAFTA liberalization. The results show that a 1 percent reduction in tariffs spurred productivity growth between 4 and 8 percent on average. However, for backward firms this effect is much weaker if not close to zero, otherwise for more advanced ones this effect is stronger with productivity growing between 11 and 13 percent. Consistent with the theoretical model the results are stronger in those sectors where the scope for innovative activities is more pronounced. These results are particularly important for policy makers because they suggest that while increasing competition may be good in spurring average productivity, it is also true that this effect does not hold for all type of firms, in particular more backward firms may need some complementary support policy to upgrade their capacities and keep up with the more competitive environment.

    Parallel Title: Ravallion, Martin Weakly relative poverty
    Keywords: Poverty ; Poverty
    Abstract: "Prevailing measures of relative poverty put an implausibly high weight on relative deprivation, such that measured poverty does not fall when all incomes grow at the same rate. This stems from the (implicit) assumption in past measures that very poor people incur a negligible cost of social inclusion. That assumption is inconsistent with evidence on the social roles of certain private expenditures in poor settings and with data on national poverty lines. The authors propose a new schedule of "weakly relative" lines that relax this assumption and estimate the implied poverty measures for 116 developing countries. The authors find that there is more relative poverty than past estimates have suggested. In 2005, one half of the population of the developing world lived in relative poverty, half of whom were absolutely poor. The total number of relatively poor rose over 1981-2005, despite falling numbers of absolutely poor. With sustained economic growth, the incidence of relative poverty becomes less responsive to further growth. Slower progress against relative poverty can thus be seen as the "other side of the coin" to success against absolute poverty. "--World Bank web site

    Abstract: "The spike in food prices between 2005 and the first half of 2008 has highlighted the vulnerabilities of poor consumers to higher prices of agricultural goods and generated calls for massive policy action. This paper provides a formal assessment of the direct and indirect impacts of higher prices on global poverty using a representative sample of 63 to 93 percent of the population of the developing world. To assess the direct effects, the paper uses domestic food consumer price data between January 2005 and December 2007--when the relative price of food rose by an average of 5.6 percent --to find that the implied increase in the extreme poverty headcount at the global level is 1.7 percentage points, with significant regional variation. To take the second-order effects into account, the paper links household survey data with a global general equilibrium model, finding that a 5.5 percent increase in agricultural prices (due to rising demand for first-generation biofuels) could raise global poverty in 2010 by 0.6 percentage points at the extreme poverty line and 0.9 percentage points at the moderate poverty line. Poverty increases at the regional level vary substantially, with nearly all of the increase in extreme poverty occurring in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. "--World Bank web site

    Abstract: "Expanding and improving basic education in developing countries requires, at a minimum, teachers who are present in the classroom and motivated to teach, but this essential input is often missing. This paper describes the findings of a series of recent World Bank and other studies on teacher absence and incentives for performance. Surprise school visits reveal that teachers are absent at high rates in countries such as India, Indonesia, Uganda, Ecuador, and Zambia, reducing the quality of schooling for children, especially in rural, remote, and poor areas. More broadly, poor teacher management and low levels of teacher accountability afflict many developing-country education systems. The paper presents evidence on these shortcomings, but also on the types of incentives, management, and support structures that can improve motivation and performance and reduce avoidable absenteeism. It concludes with policy options for developing countries to explore as they work to meet Education for All goals and improve quality. "--World Bank web site

    Keywords: Food prices ; Poverty ; Food prices ; Poverty
    Abstract: "Telling a policy maker that poverty will increase due to the recent increase in food prices is not very useful; telling the policy makers where the impact is likely to be larger is better, so that measures to cope with the impact of the crisis can be targeted to areas that need them the most. This paper shows how to use poverty mapping techniques to assess where higher food prices are likely to hurt the most using Guinea census and survey data as a case study. The results suggest that in the case of a rice price increase, the poorest areas of the country will not be the hardest hit, especially if the potential positive impact of higher food prices on rice producers is taken into account, in which case poverty may decline in some of these areas even if for the country as a whole poverty will increase significantly due to the large share of rice in the household consumption budget.

    Abstract: PISA 2006 : Les compétences en sciences, un atout pour réussir présente, en deux volumes, les premiers résultats du cycle d’enquête PISA le plus récent, dont le domaine d’évaluation majeur était la culture scientifique mais qui s’est également penché sur la culture mathématique et la compréhension de l’écrit. Volume I : Analyse des résultats fournit la vue d’ensemble internationale sur l’apprentissage des sciences la plus complète à l’heure actuelle, explorant non seulement les performances des élèves, mais aussi leur attitude envers les sciences, leur conscience des débouchés pour l’avenir que peuvent leur apporter des compétences en sciences, ainsi que l’environnement proposé par les établissements pour l’enseignement des sciences. Il replace les performances des élèves, des établissements et des pays dans leur contexte social et identifie les politiques et pratiques d’éducation de premier plan qui sont gage de succès éducatif. En montrant le succès de certains pays dans la fourniture d’un enseignement de qualité autant que de résultats d’apprentissage équitables, PISA pose un défi ambitieux à tous les autres pays.

    Abstract: L’Écosse obtient régulièrement d’excellents résultats au Programme international de l’OCDE pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) et son système scolaire est un des plus équitables de l’OCDE. Cet ouvrage analyse les forces des écoles écossaises et les difficultés qui s’opposent à la réussite de tous les enfants. La première de ces difficultés réside dans l’écart de résultats qui apparaît dans les dernières années de l’enseignement primaire et se creuse au début du secondaire : les enfants de milieux défavorisés sont plus exposés que les autres à l’échec scolaire. La deuxième concerne le besoin d’accroître le taux de scolarisation et de réussite dans le deuxième cycle du secondaire et d’améliorer l’équité dans l’enseignement supérieur. Cet examen analyse les performances des établissements scolaires écossais à partir des conclusions du PISA et des résultats aux tests et examens nationaux, et étudie les réformes éducatives entreprises en Écosse à la lumière de celles qui ont été engagées dans des pays rencontrant des difficultés comparables.

Extreme poverty-as judged by what "poverty" means in the world's poorest countries-is found to be more pervasive than we thought. Yet the data also provide robust evidence of continually declining poverty incidence and depth since the early 1980s. For 2005 we estimate that 1.4 billion people, or one quarter of the population of the developing world, lived below our international line of

    Abstract: "The increase in the international price of rice is likely to have substantial negative impacts on the poor in countries such as Mali which are net importers of rice. This paper relies on a dynamic CGE model to estimate the likely impact of the recent increase in rice prices on poverty with and without policy responses. Two sets of policy responses are considered: import tax cuts on rice and measures to increase productivity of domestic rice production. The results suggest that an increase in productivity would have a much larger positive impact than a reduction in taxes. "--World Bank web site

    Abstract: "This paper identifies and estimates the strength of the reduction in poverty linked to improved opportunities for women in the expanding maquila sector. A simulation exercise shows that, at a given point in time, poverty in Honduras would have been 1.5 percentage points higher had the maquila sector not existed. Of this increase in poverty, 0.35 percentage points is attributable to the wage premium paid to maquila workers, 0.1 percentage points to the wage premium received by women in the maquila sector, and 1 percentage point to employment creation. Given that female maquila workers represent only 1.1 percent of the active population in Honduras, this contribution to poverty reduction is significant. "--World Bank web site

    Abstract: "Concerns have been raised about the impact of rising food prices worldwide on the poor. To assess the (short term) impact of rising food prices in any particular country it is necessary to look at both the impact on food producers (who benefit from an increase in prices) and food consumers (who loose out when the price increases), with a focus on poor producers and consumers. In Ghana, the impact of a change in the price of rice is not ambiguous because a large share of the rice consumed is imported, so that the negative impact for consumers is much larger than the positive impact for producers. For maize by contrast, the impact is ambiguous since much of the consumption is locally produced. Using a recent and comprehensive household survey, this paper provides an assessment of the potential impact of higher food prices on the poor in Ghana using both simple statistical analysis and non-parametric methods. The paper finds that rising food prices for rice, maize, and other cereals would together lead to an increase in poverty, but that by contrast to a number of other countries, this increase, while not negligible, may not be as large as feared.

    Abstract: "This paper briefly reviews new indices of trade restrictiveness and trade facilitation that have been developed at the World Bank. The paper also compares the trade impact of different types of trade restrictions applied at the border with the effects of domestic policies that affect trade costs. Based on a gravity regression framework, the analysis suggests that tariffs and non-tariff measures continue to be a significant source of trade restrictiveness for low-income countries despite preferential access programs. This is because the value of trade preferences is quite limited: a new measure of the relative preference margin developed in the paper reveals that this is very low for most country-pairs. Most countries with very good (duty-free) access to a market generally have competitors that have the same degree of access. The empirical analysis suggests that measures to improve logistics performance and facilitate trade are likely to have the greatest positive effects in expanding developing country trade, increasing the trade impacts of lowering remaining border barriers by a factor of two or more.

    Keywords: Dumping (International trade) ; Free trade ; Dumping (International trade) ; Free trade
    Abstract: "The binding of tariff rates and adoption of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade/World Trade Organization-sanctioned safeguards and antidumping mechanisms provided the basis to remove a multitude of instruments of protection in the Latin American countries discussed in this paper. At the same time, they helped in maintaining centralized control over the management of pressures for protection in agencies with economy-wide accountabilities. The World Trade Organization's procedural requirements (for example, to follow published criteria, or participation by interested parties) helped leaders to change the culture of decision-making from one based on relationships to one based on objective criteria. However, when Latin American governments attempted to introduce economic sense - such as base price comparisons on an economically sensible measure of long-run international price rather than the more generous constructed cost concept that is the core of WTO rules - protection-seekers used the rules against them. They pointed out that World Trade Organization rules do not require the use of such criteria, nor do procedures in leading users (industrial countries) include such criteria. In sum, the administrative content of the rules supported liberalization; the economic content did not. "--World Bank web site

    Abstract: "South Asia has attracted global attention because it has experienced rapid GDP growth over the last two decades. What is not so well known is that South Asia is the least integrated region in the world. South Asia has opened its door to the rest of the world but it remains closed to its neighbors. Poor market integration, weak connectivity, and a history of friction and conflict have resulted in two South Asias. The first South Asia is dynamic, growing rapidly, highly urbanized, and is benefiting from global integration. The second South Asia is rural, land locked, full of poverty, and lagging. The divergence between the two South Asias is on the rise. Policy makers in South Asia have realized that countries and regions can not grow in isolation. The unique geography of South Asia-distance and density--has the potential to raise growth through increased flow of labor, capital, ideas, technology, goods and services within the region and with the rest of the world. Most lagging regions, in terms of both per capita income and poverty incidence, in South Asia are either land-locked or located in the border areas. Regional cooperation and market integration will unlock the development of these lagging regions in South Asia. "--World Bank web site

    Keywords: Poverty ; Rice Prices ; Poverty ; Rice Prices
    Abstract: "When assessing the impact of changes in food prices on poverty, it is important to consider food producers (who may benefit from an increase in prices) as well as consumers (who loose out when the price increases), with a focus on poor consumers and producers. In the case of rice in Liberia however, the impact of a change in price is not ambiguous because a large share of the rice consumed is imported, while the rice locally produced is used mostly for auto-consumption. An increase in the price of rice will result in higher poverty in the country as a whole (even if some local producers will gain from this increase), while a reduction in price will reduce poverty. Furthermore, because rice represents a large share of food consumption, any change in its price is likely to have a large impact on poverty. Using data from the 2007 CWIQ survey, the paper finds that an increase or decrease of 20 percent in the price of rice could lead to an increase or decrease of three to four percentage points in the share of the population in poverty.

    Abstract: "Concerns have been raised about the impact of rising food prices worldwide on the poor. To assess the impact of rising food prices in any particular country it is necessary to look at both the impact on food producers who are poor or near-poor and could benefit from an increase in prices and food consumers who are poor or near-poor and would loose out when the price increases. In most West and Central African countries, the sign (positive or negative) of the impact is not ambiguous because a substantial share of food consumption is imported, so that the negative impact for consumers is larger than the positive impact for net sellers of locally produced foods. Yet even if the sign of the impact is clear, its magnitude is not. Using a set of recent and comprehensive household surveys, this paper summarizes findings from an assessment of the potential impact of higher food prices on the poor in a dozen countries. Rising food prices for rice, wheat, maize, and other cereals as well as for milk, sugar and vegetable oils could lead to a substantial increase in poverty in many of the countries. At the same time, the data suggest that the magnitude of the increase in poverty between different countries is likely to be different. Finally, the data suggest that a large share of the increase in poverty will consist of deeper levels of poverty among households who are already poor, even if there will also be a larger number of poor households in the various countries.

    Abstract: "This paper provides new estimates of the global gains from multilateral trade reform and their distribution among developing countries in the presence of trade preferences. Particular attention is given to agriculture, as farmers constitute the poorest households in developing countries but are the most assisted in rich countries. The latest GTAP database (Version 6.05) and the LINKAGE model of the global economy are used to examine the impact first of current merchandise trade barriers and agricultural subsidies, and then of possible reform outcomes from the WTO's Doha Development Agenda. The results suggest moving to free global merchandise trade would boost real incomes in Sub-Saharan Africa proportionately more than in other developing countries or high-income countries, despite a terms of trade loss in parts of that region. Net farm incomes would rise substantially in that and other developing country regions, thereby alleviating rural poverty. A Doha partial liberalization could move the world some way toward those desirable outcomes, but more so the more developing countries themselves cut applied tariffs, particularly on agricultural imports.

    Abstract: "This paper assesses the impact that a potential liberalization of sugar regimes in OECD countries could have on household labor income and poverty in Brazil. The authors first estimate the extent of price transmission from world markets to 11 Brazilian states to capture the fact that some local markets may be relatively more isolated from changes in world prices. They then simultaneously estimate the impact that changes in domestic sugar prices have on regional wages and employment depending on worker characteristics. Finally, they measure the impact on household income of a 10 percent increase in world sugar prices. Results suggest that workers in the sugar sector and in sugar-producing regions have better employment opportunities and experience larger wage increases. More interestingly, households at the top of the income distribution experience larger income gains due to higher wages, whereas households at the bottom of the distribution experience larger income gains due to movements out of unemployment.

    Abstract: "Vietnam's integration with the international economy has increased significantly over the past decade, aided by substantial liberalization of trade, and appears set to increase further as trade-expanding measures take full effect. This dramatic shift in Vietnam's trading patterns has important implications for the environment and use of natural resources. This paper offers a systematic analysis of the trading and investment patterns to give a broader understanding of the environmental implications of greater openness of the economy during the past decade. The results suggest increasing manufacturing and export activity in water and toxic pollution-intensive sectors compared with the less pollution-intensive sectors. The story is, on the surface, consistent with the changing composition of Vietnamese production and exports away from traditional sectors and toward pollution-intensive manufacturing (especially leather and textiles). The paper also highlights the need to consider strengthening environmental policies while further trade liberalization is being contemplated through Vietnam's joining of the World Trade Organization.

    Keywords: Income distribution ; Inflation (Finance) ; Poverty ; Income distribution ; Inflation (Finance) ; Poverty
    Abstract: "Measured by the Gini coefficient, income inequality in Brazil rose from 0.57 in 1981 to 0.63 in 1989, before falling back to 0.56 in 2004. This latest figure would lower Brazil's world inequality rank from 2nd (in 1989) to 10th (in 2004). Poverty incidence also followed an inverted U-curve over the past quarter century, rising from 0.30 in 1981 to 0.33 in 1993, before falling to 0.22 in 2004. Using standard decomposition techniques, this paper presents a preliminary investigation of the determinants of Brazil's distributional reversal over this period. The rise in inequality in the 1980s appears to have been driven by increases in the educational attainment of the population in a context of convex returns, and by high and accelerating inflation. While the secular decline in inequality, which began in 1993, is associated with declining inflation, it also appears to have been driven by four structural and policy changes which have so far not attracted sufficient attention in the literature, namely sharp declines in the returns to education; pronounced rural-urban convergence; increases in social assistance transfers targeted to the poor; and a possible decline in racial inequality. Although poverty dynamics since the Real Plan of 1994 have been driven primarily by economic growth, the decline in inequality has also made a substantial contribution to poverty reduction.

    Keywords: Free trade ; Structural adjustment (Economic policy) ; Tariff ; Free trade ; Structural adjustment (Economic policy) ; Tariff
    Abstract: "The authors use a panel of manufacturing firms to analyze the adjustment process in capital blue collar and white collar employment in Uruguay during a period of trade liberalization when average tariff protection fell from 43 to 14 percent. They calculate the desired factor levels arising from a counterfactual profit maximization in the absence of adjustment costs, generating a measure of factor shortages or surpluses. The average estimated output gap for 1982-95 is 2 percent. The authors' policy analysis shows that trade openness affected the adjustment functions of all three factors of production. Highly protected sectors adjust less when creating jobs (reducing labor shortages) than sectors with low protection. This may be due to fears of policy reversal in highly protected sectors. Also, highly protected sectors adjust more easily (than low protection sectors) when destroying jobs (reducing labor surpluses), especially in the case of blue collar labor. This suggests that trade protection may in fact destroy rather than create jobs within industries, as firms in highly protected sectors are more reluctant to hire and more ready to fire than firms in sectors with low protection. The results for capital are qualitatively similar but quantitatively smaller, suggesting that trade protection plays less of a role in explaining adjustment costs for capital. Interestingly, export-oriented sectors have lower adjustment costs for blue collar labor but not for white collar employment or capital, suggesting that export-led growth may be particularly successful in reducing blue collar unemployment.

    Keywords: European Union ; World Trade Organization ; European Union ; World Trade Organization ; Free trade ; Service industries ; Free trade ; Service industries
    Abstract: "The authors analyze the extent to which the EU-15 and 16 transition economies used the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) to commit to service sector policy reforms. They compare GATS commitments with the evolution of actual policy stances over time. While there is substantial variance across transition economies on both actual policies and GATS commitments, the authors find an inverse relationship between the depth of GATS commitments and the "quality" of actual services policies as assessed by the private sector. In part this can be explained by the fact that the prospect of EU accession makes GATS less relevant as a commitment device for a subset of transition economies. But for many of the non-EU accession candidates, the WTO seems to be a weak commitment device. One explanation is that the small size of the markets concerned generates weak external enforcement incentives. The authors' findings suggest greater collective investment by WTO members in monitoring and the need for transparency to increase the benefits of WTO membership to small countries.

    Keywords: Agricultural productivity ; Free trade ; Poverty ; Agricultural productivity ; Free trade ; Poverty ; Bangladesh Rural conditions ; Bangladesh Rural conditions
    Abstract: "This paper analyzes the distributional impacts of trade reforms in rural areas of Bangladesh. The liberalization of trade in irrigation equipment and fertilizer markets during the early 1990s has led to structural changes in the agricultural sector and a significant increase in rice productivity. A resulting increase in output has been associated with a decline in producer and consumer rice prices of approximately 25 percent. Using a combination of ex-post and ex-ante approaches, the authors investigate the implications of the changes in rice productivity and prices for the welfare of households. They find that the net effects of increased rice productivity and lower rice prices have benefited the poor. Regardless of the particular category analyzed, the poorest households emerged as being particularly positively affected by reforms in the 1990s. This mainly reflects the fact that they are predominantly net rice buyers in both urban and rural markets. In contrast, large net sellers of rice, among the better-off households in the rural areas, were the main losers. Since net buyers in rural areas tend to be poorer than net sellers, trade liberalization has benefited the poor. Although the authors are not able to test empirically what has happened to the welfare level of agricultural wage earners, secondary evidence suggests that they have gained from trade liberalization.

    Keywords: Equality ; Free trade ; Income distribution ; Equality ; Free trade ; Income distribution
    Abstract: "Using tariffs as a measure of openness, the authors find consistent evidence that the conditional effects of trade liberalization on inequality are correlated with relative factor endowments. Trade liberalization is associated with increases in inequality in countries well-endowed in highly skilled workers and capital or with workers that have very low education levels and in countries relatively well-endowed in mining and fuels. Trade liberalization is associated with decreases in inequality in countries that are well-endowed with primary-educated labor. Similar results are also apparent when decile data are used instead of the usual Gini coefficient. The results are strongly supportive of the factor-proportions theory of trade and suggest that trade liberalization in poor countries where the share of the labor force with very low education levels (likely employed in nontradable activities) is high raises inequality. In the sample, countries with low education levels also have relatively scarce endowments of capital. Quantitatively capital scarcity is the dominating effect so that trade liberalization is accompanied by reduced income inequality in low-income countries. Within-country inequality is also positively correlated with measures of macroeconomic instability. Simulation results suggest that relatively small changes in inequality as measured by aggregate measures of inequality like the Gini coefficient are magnified when estimates are carried out using decile data.

    Abstract: En décembre 2005, le Royaume-Uni a adopté un dispositif pour évaluer la qualité de la conception des établissements primaires et secondaires. L’indicateur de la qualité de la conception (DQI) des établissements scolaires est un outil susceptible d’aider les acteurs concernés – enseignants, parents, administrateurs d’école, élèves, citoyens, autorités locales clientes et professionnels du bâtiment – à atteindre l’excellence dans la conception des établissements scolaires et des terrains, qu’il s’agisse d’espaces nouveaux ou réaménagés. La grille d’évaluation DQI a été établie par le ministère de l’Éducation et le Conseil de l’industrie de la construction (Construction Industry Council).
