«María Laura Sánchez Puerta ha escrito un testimonio transparente sobre una de esas resoluciones amorosas que se toman un día en la vida sin saber que la cambiarán para siempre. En él asoma, sin aduanas, la respuesta a esa inquietud que nos acecha a posteriori: ¿habría decidido amar como lo hice sabiendo cómo fue el desenlace?».

Accounting for Mismatch in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
To stimulate economic advancement, low- and middle-income countries need well-educated and trained workforces to fill the types of skilled jobs that drive economic growth. Improving educational quality and attainment and providing better training are all rightly put forth as policy recommendations to leverage economic growth and job creation.

The results of this study suggest that countries may not reap as much ...

Globalization, Wages, and the Quality of Jobs
Since the early 1990s, most developing economies have become more integrated with the world s economy. Trade and foreign investment barriers have been progressively lifted and international trade agreements signed. These reforms have led to important changes in the structures of these economies. The labor markets have adjusted to these major changes, and workers were required to adapt to them in one way or another. In 2006, the Social Protection Unit of the World Bank launched an important research program to understand the impact that these profound structural changes have had on workers in developing countries. 'Globalization, Wages, and the Quality of Jobs: Five Country Studies' presents ...
