«Building the Future: Children and the Sustainable Development Goals in Rich Countries»

Disponível aqui.

«(New York/Florence, 15 June 2017) 1 in 5 children in high-income countries lives in relative income poverty and an average of 1 in 8 faces food insecurity, according to the latest Report Card issued by the UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti.
Building the Future: Children and the Sustainable Development Goals in Rich Countries is the first report to assess the status of children in 41 high-income countries in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified as most important for child well-being. It ranks countries based on their performance and details the challenges and opportunities that advanced economies face in achieving global commitments to children.
“Report Card 14 is a wake-up-call that even in high-income countries progress does not benefit all children,” said Sarah Cook, Director of UNICEF Innocenti. “Higher incomes do not automatically lead to improved outcomes for all children, and may indeed deepen inequalities. Governments in all countries need to take action to ensure the gaps are reduced and progress is made to reach the SDGs for children”.»

De um dos artigos - Os “naturais” salários inferiores das mulheres

por Catarina Gomes`:

«Eram amigos, Sofia e o colega. Entraram os dois na empresa com 25 anos, no mesmo dia 1 de Abril, jovens farmacêuticos, para ocupar cargos iguais de chefia intermédia na área do planeamento na mesma empresa farmacêutica. Porque eram amigos tinham à-vontade para, aos almoços, falarem de dinheiro – sabiam que tinham entrado a ganhar os mesmos 1500 euros.

Só que os almoços começaram a tornar-se desconfortáveis. “Então e o aumento?” ou “e o teu prémio?” O colega homem perguntava-lhe com a naturalidade de quem partia do pressuposto de que faria sentido receberem os dois os mesmos aumentos intercalares associados aos resultados da empresa, os mesmos bónus de produtividade. O mal-estar foi tal que deixaram de ir almoçar, na verdade, deixaram de ser amigos.

Houve um dia em que alguém afixou, em sítio visível, a lista dos funcionários e respectivos salários, como é de lei, mas pouco acontece. A revelação foi acidental, ao fim do dia já tinha sido retirada da parede. “Deve ter sido um novato dos Recursos Humanos”,justifica Sofia, 36 anos, que prefere contar a história sem usar o seu nome verdadeiro. “Durante 24 horas comparámos.” (...).

«CREATING SUSTAINABLE FUTURES FOR ALL»

Disponível aqui.

«In May 2015, the World Education Forum in Incheon (Republic of Korea), brought together 1,600 participants from 160 countries with a single goal in mind: how to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all by 2030?

 The Incheon Declaration for Education 2030 has been instrumental to shape the Sustainable Development Goal on Education to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.

 It entrusts UNESCO with the leadership, coordination and monitoring of the Education 2030 agenda. It also calls upon the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report to provide independent monitoring and reporting of the Sustainable Development Goal on education (SDG 4), and on education in the other SDGs, for the next fifteen years.

The ultimate goal of this agenda is to leave no one behind. This calls for robust data and sound monitoring. The 2016 edition of the GEM Report provides valuable insight for governments and policy makers to monitor and accelerate progress towards SDG 4, building on the indicators and targets we have, with equity and inclusion as measures of overall success.

This Report makes three messages starkly clear.

 Firstly, the urgent need for new approaches. On current trends only 70% of children in low income countries will complete primary school in 2030, a goal that should have been achieved in 2015. We need the political will, the policies, the innovation and the resources to buck this trend.

Secondly, if we are serious about SDG 4, we must act with a sense of heightened urgency, and with long-term commitment. Failure to do so will not only adversely affect education but will hamper progress towards each and every development goal: poverty reduction, hunger eradication, improved health, gender equality and women’s empowerment, sustainable production and consumption, resilient cities, and more equal and inclusive societies.

 Lastly, we must fundamentally change the way we think about education and its role in human well-being and global development. Now, more than ever, education has a responsibility to foster the right type of skills, attitudes and behavior that will lead to sustainable and inclusive growth.

 The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls on us to develop holistic and integrated responses to the many social, economic and environmental challenges we face. This means reaching out beyond traditional boundaries and creating effective, cross-sectoral partnerships.

A sustainable future for all is about human dignity, social inclusion and environmental protection. It is a future where economic growth does not exacerbate inequalities but builds prosperity for all; where urban areas and labour markets are designed to empower everyone and economic activities, communal and corporate, are green-oriented. Sustainable development is a belief that human development cannot happen without a healthy planet. Embarking upon the new SDG agenda requires all of us to reflect upon the ultimate purpose of learning throughout life. Because, if done right, education has the power like none else to nurture empowered, reflective, engaged and skilled citizens who can chart the way towards a safer, greener and fairer planet for all. This new report provides relevant evidence to enrich these discussions and craft the policies needed to make it a reality for all».

«Your own house is a good place to start. Addressing wealth distribution within companies, especially the disparity between executives and the lowest paid employees sends a strong signal that a better balance is needed.

 Economic inequality has been largely absent from corporate transparency and sustainability reporting. Companies are beginning to recognise the need to understand and report on the disparities in the way in which the company values people and activities in the supply chain. The SDGs provide a common framework that will help companies communicate about their economic impact and contribution.

 There are some standout companies that are supporting the most vulnerable amongst us. IKEA and Adidas show business leadership on their work with refugees. BT is focusing its tech literacy efforts on some of the most disadvantaged in society to help them into jobs. 

Business has shown bold leadership on climate change. Now is the time for more ambition on one of the other great challenges of our time: inequality».

«Sendo heterogéneas e multiculturais, as sociedades contemporâneas vêem-se frequentemente confrontadas com desafios que destabilizam as instituições democráticas e a coesão social. É neste contexto que a educação deve funcionar como veículo promotor do diálogo entre os indivíduos e os grupos, levando-os a ultrapassar as suas diversidades e a coexistir pacificamente no seio de sociedades pluralistas.

Para alcançar esses fins, é necessário identificar as competências específicas aplicáveis em situações reais. Tendo por base os resultados de uma ampla consulta internacional, o Conselho da Europa criou um novo modelo conceptual de competências que integra os valores, os conhecimentos e as práticas em que se deve alicerçar a educação para a cidadania e cultura democrática».

«Une contribution inédite à la question du genre dans les pratiques culturelles | 

Supposés librement choisis, les loisirs culturels peuvent passer pour l'expression des intérêts, des goûts, des passions des individus, voire de leur personnalité. C'est que l'écheveau subtil des incitations et des interdictions de l'entourage - de l'enfance à l'âge adulte -, des stéréotypes de sexe, réduit la liberté de choix en dessinant des voies balisées. Comment les loisirs culturels contribuent-ils à la construction identitaire des filles et des garçons ? Comment les usages, pratiques et consommations culturels et les représentations qui en découlent participent-ils à façonner le genre ? Les différenciations de genre présentes dans le champ des loisirs culturels sont-elles le terreau d'inégalités, d'autant plus cachées qu'elles sont renvoyées au goût, naturel et électif ? Telles sont les questions que soulève cette étude, à travers différentes perspectives, selon l'âge des individus, les goûts et les pratiques : pratiques musicales en amateur, consommations médiatiques, culture scientifique et technique. Les cinq contributions réunies ici démêlent l'écheveau du genre et interrogent sa construction sociale, étroitement imbriquée à celle de l'âge, de la position sociale et de la couleur de la peau».

Abstract 

«Upon request by the FEMM Committee, these in-depth analyses highlight different aspects of female poverty. They complement two other Workshop contributions from a research project of the European Commission and from UNICEF. Wim van Lancker and his team examine the extent of women’s poverty in the EU and the impact of social exclusion through poverty on living and working conditions of women and their children. He concludes with a discussion of policy measures that have been taken in EU Member States for enabling paid employment and ensuring adequate income protection. Diane Perrons explores the impact of the crisis on female poverty. Multiple differences exist among European Union Member States but overall poverty has increased and women are still more likely than men to live in poverty, though until 2012 the increase for men was greater than that for women. Economic performance and economic policies seem to be associated with poverty. The paper recommends that macroeconomic policy be mainstreamed to identify gender specific outcomes. Maria Stratigaki focuses on European policies and activities and the role of the European Social Fund in the fight against female poverty. She emphasises the need for developing a holistic methodological approach to face gendered poverty, going beyond tackling poverty exclusively via active labour market policies».

«(...)

We know that reducing gender gaps in the world of work can yield broad development dividends: improving child health and education, enhancing poverty reduction, and catalyzing productivity. Empowering women and girls is vital in order to achieve our twin goals: ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity. The World Bank Group is fully committed to this agenda».

PREFACE

 «(...)

Linking gender equality with sustainable development is important for several reasons. It is a moral and ethical imperative. Efforts to achieve a just and sustainable future cannot ignore the rights, dignity and capabilities of half the world’s population. To be effective, policy actions for sustainability must redress the disproportionate impact on women and girls of economic, social and environmental shocks and stresses. Finally, women’s knowledge, agency and collective action has huge potential to improve resource productivity, enhance ecosystem conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, and to create more sustainable, low-carbon food, energy, water and health systems. Failure to capitalize on this would be a missed opportunity. Women should not be viewed as victims, but as central actors in moving towards sustainability. (...)».
