To do so, it analyzes the experiences of Mauritius and Singapore and links foundational political economy theories, particularly developmental ...

Factory closures in China at the beginning of 2020, lockdowns in many countries and, subsequently, congestion in logistics networks for transporting goods, capacity constraints in the face of sudden increases in demand, and labor shortages, have combined to negatively affect the availability of inputs and products worldwide. Higher freight ...

    We explore whether improved export sophistication increases women’s participation in wage employment. Using panel data from a large group of developing and emerging economies, and Fixed-effects and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimators, we find that export sophistication has significant and mostly positive effects on women’s participation in paid employment in all regions, but these effects are nonlinear, since they become positive only after a threshold level of sophistica ...

    La crise sanitaire de la Covid-19 a mis en exergue les limites de la société-monde. En effet, sans la femme on ne peut faire face aux défis du millénaire et l’on ne peut surpasser les impacts de la pandémie et les bouleversements révolutionnaires qu’elle génère et qu’elle continuera à générer. Dans le contexte de la Journée des droits de la femme, on ne peut s’empêcher de s’arrêter devant le rôle central que joue la femme marocaine en tant qu’acteur moteur du développement économiqu ...

    For the last 70 years, the social order in Europe has been based on the concept and practice of inter-generational solidarity. The welfare state granted every citizen, in addition to education and universal health services (and dependency care when needed in the most advanced welfare states), an old-age pension, which ensures that older generations do not suffer a huge income loss when retiring from work and are protected against insecurity. Population aging means that now, accordin ...

    Dès les premiers cas du Coronavirus relevés en Afrique, les prédictions les plus sombres ont été faites sur la catastrophe sanitaire à venir sur le continent, en raison d’un certain nombre de caractéristiques supposées favoriser la propagation de l’épidémie. Ces prévisions ont été démenties par la rapidité des ripostes des Etats et par divers autres facteurs. La progression de la Covid-19 en Afrique n’est pas le fait d’une dynamique unique mais plutôt de multiples profils de risques ...

    Par ces temps de Coronavirus, l’éducation, au Maroc, comme partout ailleurs à travers le monde, est amenée à se tourner vers des alternatives à distance. Certains voient en ce changement un risque de creusement des inégalités déjà existantes en matière d’accès, de qualité et de rétention. D’autres, saisissent cette nouvelle expérience pour ouvrir les voies de l’innovation et de la massification d’une éducation de qualité pour tous. Or, ces opportunités offertes, et ses souhaits expr ...
