    Living with Duality: Fiscal Policy and Informality in Latin America (2008)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 2 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Development Centre Policy Insights no.81
    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Vivre avec la dualité : la politique budgétaire et le secteur informel en Amérique latine
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: Although hard to measure, informality is by all accounts high in Latin America: about half of the region’s working population can be considered informal. In Mexico, the only Latin American country that belongs to the OECD, up to 60 per cent of non-agricultural workers – almost 22 million people – are employed informally or self-employed. These working people have opted out or have been shut out of the formal system of taxes and social protection. In that sense, they bear witness to a broken social contract between citizens and the state.

    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: L’économie informelle est difficile à quantifier, mais, quel que soit l’indicateur retenu, elle est très répandue en Amérique latine : elle concernerait environ la moitié de la population active de cette région. Au Mexique, seul pays latino-américain membre de l’OCDE, quelque 60 pour cent de la main-d’oeuvre non agricole, soit près de 22 millions d’individus, ont un emploi informel ou travaillent à leur compte. Ces travailleurs se retrouvent, par choix ou non, en dehors du système fiscal et de protection sociale associé à l’économie organisée, ce qui témoigne de la rupture du contrat social entre les citoyens et l’État.

    Household Structures and Savings : Evidence from Household Surveys (2008)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 71 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Development Centre Working Papers no.267
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between household structures, the institutions that shape them and physical and human capital accumulation using household and individual data from China, Indonesia, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. Household structures differ greatly across countries and are very diverse within countries. In the two African countries studied a large share of the population live in extended households and/or polygamous ones. Such household structures are the exception or even absent in the Asian cases, where nuclear monogamous households prevail. This paper finds that polygamy is negatively related to capital accumulation. Wealth per capita is significantly lower in polygamous households even after controlling for income, age and literacy of the household head. A first analysis of the possible channels suggests that the larger size of polygamous households plays an important role. A similar result is found for education: enrolment rates are never higher but frequently lower in these households. The diversity across countries demonstrates that polygamy has very different meanings across societies...

    Telecommunications in Latin America : Can Multinationals Fill the Gaps? (2007)

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Télécommunications en Amérique latine : les multinationales en renfort ?
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: Foreign investment in telecommunications in Latin America has amounted to over $110 billion since 1990, more than for all other developing countries combined. Only one in four of the poorest Latin Americans has a telephone line; competitive markets and policies promoting access can help narrow the connectivity gap between rich and poor.

    Abstract: En Amérique latine, l’investissement étranger dans les télécommunications se chiffre à plus de 110 milliards de dollars depuis 1990. Seuls des marchés concurrentiels et des politiques favorisant l’accès aux télécommunications peuvent réduire l’écart de connectivité entre riches et pauvres.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Les institutions entravent-elles le développement agricole de l'Afrique ?
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: A coherent institutional framework that supports investment, exchange and representation mechanisms is a key precondition for agricultural development. The importance of customs and traditions for the process of agrarian transformation has been overlooked. Changes in formal institutions must be complementary to cultural norms and accommodate or foster the evolution of customary practices.

    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: Different cultures entail both a great diversity of household structures and different saving patterns. The diversity of family relations and saving patterns creates different incentives for physical and human capital accumulation. Policies can alter saving incentives and create the conditions for household structures themselves to change.

    Institutional Bottlenecks for Agricultural Development : A Stock-Taking Exercise Based on Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa (2006)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 73 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Development Centre Working Papers no.248
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: High quality institutions lower transaction costs, encourage trust, reinforce property rights and avoid the exclusion of sections of the population. Overcoming institutional bottlenecks that constrain entrepreneurial activities and the development of the private sector is a prerequisite for achieving pro-poor growth, in particular in Africa. As part of the Development Centre’s Work Programme 2005/2006 on institutional requirements for advancing peace and development in sub-Saharan-Africa, this explorative study sets the stage for forthcoming indepth case studies in Ghana and Cameroon.

    Abstract: La diversité des cultures se reflète dans celle des structures de ménage et des formes d’épargne. Ces relations familiales et ces formes d’épargne créent des incitations différentes pour l’accumulation de capital matériel et humain Les politiques publiques peuvent changer ces incitations et produire les conditions pour que les structures de ménage elles-mêmes changent.
