dc.description.abstract	In his final address to the Board of Directors, President Robert S. McNamara discusses the future role of the Bank during a time in which surging oil prices threaten critical development tasks. He examines four themes: the prospects for economic growth and social advance in oil-importing developing countries; a program of structural adjustment that developing countries, industrialized nations, and OPEC countries can take to maximize growth; the need to accelerate the attack on absolute poverty; and the role the World Bank ought to play in the decade ahead.	en

Employment in Crisis : The Path to Better Jobs in a Post-COVID-19 Latin America

Silva, Joana; Sousa, Liliana D.; Packard, Truman G.; Robertson, Raymond (2021-06-17)

A region known for its volatility, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has suffered severe economic and social setbacks from crises—including the COVID-19 pandemic. These crises have taken their toll on careers, wage growth, and productivity. Employment in Crisis: The Path to Better Jobs in a Post-COVID-19 Latin America provides new evidence on the effects of crises on the region’s workers and firms and suggests several policy responses that can bolster long-term and inclusive economic growth. This report has three key findings. First, crises lead to persistent employment losses and accelerate structural changes away from the formal sector. This change occurs more through reductions in the creation of formal jobs than through job destruction. Second, some workers recover from crises, while others are permanently scarred by them. Low-skilled workers can suffer up to a decade of lower earnings caused by crises, while high-skilled workers rebound fast, exacerbating the LAC region’s high level of inequality. Formal workers suffer smaller employment and wage losses in ...

Bringing Variable Renewable Energy Up to Scale : Options for Grid Integration Using Natural Gas and Energy Storage

Martinez Romero, Silvia; Hughes, Wendy (2015-02)

By the end of 2013, 144 countries both developed and developing had established plans for the expansion of power generation from renewable energy (REN 21). In setting these goals, countries are driven by a number of strategic considerations, including energy security, reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, the need to expand and improve energy services for growing populations, and industrialization and job creation. Among renewable energy sources, solar and wind resources stand out as having high inherent resource variability and limited predictability. To achieve a reliable, stable power supply, power system operators must continuously balance supply and demand. Power systems are designed to handle a certain amount of variability and uncertainty to accommodate fluctuations in demand and unexpected equipment outages. This report looks at the nature of Variable Renewable Energy ...

Confiance, voix au chapitre et mesures incitatives : Tirer des leçons du succès dans la prestation de services au niveau local au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord

Brixi, Hana; Lust, Ellen; Woolcock, Michael (2015-04)

La région du Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord (MENA) passe dans un état de changement volatile. Cette période de changement impose des difficultés sur les gens de la région, et les foyers de conflit et de violence représentent un danger évident non seulement sur le plan régional, mais aussi global. Dans ces circonstances, il est essentiel de se concentrer sur le bien-être de la jeunesse de la région et leur santé économique et institutionnelle afin de jeter les bases pour une stabilité durable et une prospérité partagée. Les institutions et les services publics sont au coeur de cet effort. En particulier, il est crucial d’exploiter la capacité des institutions publiques à aligner leurs mesures incitatives sur les besoins de la population; la capacité des systèmes d’éducation et la capacité des systèmes de santé. Au lendemain de l’indépendance, les dirigeants des pays de la région MENA ont promis à leurs citoyens l’industrialisation et de meilleures conditions de vie grâce à l’intervention de l’Etat. Toutefois, ce rapport documente qu’au Moyen Orient et en Afrique du Nord, beaucoup des ...
