Caminhos para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável

A Organização das Nações Unidas prevê um crescimento da população mundial para 9,6 bilhões de pessoas no ano de 2050, muitas das quais viverão em países que já enfrentam insegurança alimentar. Esse cenário populacional traz consigo uma maior evidenciação das preocupações acerca da urgência em conciliar desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade, visto que, para alimentar tal população, a produção agrícola terá de aumentar aproximadamente em 50%, situação difícil devido aos efeitos das alterações climáticas sobre os cultivos agrícolas. Esta coletânea reúne três artigos com relevância acerca deste assunto, visto que o planejamento de culturas agrícolas devido a muda...

Feminist Global Health Security

"Global health security, focused on a firefighting short-term response efforts fail to consider the differential impacts of outbreaks on women. For example, the policy response to the Zika outbreak centred on limiting the spread of the vector through civic participation and asking women to defer pregnancy. Both actions are inherently gendered and reveal a distinct lack of consideration of the everyday lives of women. These policies placed women in a position whereby were blamed if they had a child born with Congenital Zika Syndrome, and at the same time governments required women to undertake invisible labour for vector control. What does this tell us about the role of women in global health...

Jobs and Growth

Brazil approaches its 2018 election with an economy that is gradually recovering from the deepest recession in its recent economic history. However, for many Brazilians, the recovery has not yet translated into new and better jobs, or rising incomes. This book explores the drivers of future employment and income growth. Its key finding: Brazil needs to dramatically improve its performance across all industries in terms of productivity if the country is to provide better jobs for its citizens and generate lasting gains in incomes growth for all. This is particularly important as Brazil is aging rapidly and the boost the country has enjoyed thanks to its young and growing labor force in the pa...
