Avenue A Razorfish 2008 Digital Outlook Report
Avenue A Razorfish released the 2008 Digital Outlook Report yesterday. The purpose of the report is to help Avenue A's clients understand consumer behavior in the digital space. In the report experts cover topics such as media spending, mobile web usage, social influence marketing, the state of search, and behavior targeting. Here are some tidbits from the report:
Who's Gonna Pay For this Mess?
Cash for Clunkers. Universal Healthcare. Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. The list goes on and on. Meanwhile, the economy in the US is shrinking almost twice as fast as had been previously estimated.

Do You Even Need Life Insurance?
Does it seem like that every party you go to there is a guy there who sells insurance? This article will prepare you with the comeback lines for him to leave you alone for good.

100 Days of Sodom
Public Works Minister Thoka Didiza is considering importing an Indian employment model that will guarantee every household the right to 100 days of paid work per year. Didiza, as a representative of the state, is promising people the right to a job based on the premise that not having a job is sufficient reason to get one.
7.6 ILO Convention No. 142 and Recommendation No. 150
The International Labour Convention No.142 and Recommendation No. 150 concerning Human Resources Development, which deal with vocational guidance and vocational training in the development of human resources, are the key ILO policy statements on VET.

7.5.6 Women and disabled persons: Institutional design and capacity building
Increasing female enrolments in secondary and tertiary education is critically important, especially in subject areas that have been traditionally male dominated and where long-term occupational prospects are more promising.

7.3.3 Reconceptualising the role of training: Mainstreaming skills development for the poor
The whole concept of training should be reformulated more in terms of purposeful skills development based on a variety of modalities/interventions and not just conventional, formal training courses. Because 'training' frequently has pejorative connotations, serious thought should be given to replacing it with other terms. 'Skills development' is generally preferable with 'facilitators' (rather than trainers) in appropriate supporting roles.

5.1 Is there a poverty reduction crisis? Training outputs and impacts
To what extent are the disappointing outputs and impacts of training interventions in support of the poor symptomatic of a much wider problem, namely the failure of government and NGO efforts to reduce significantly the level of poverty in most countries?
2.1.2 Lack of provision and system reorientation
It is widely argued that training systems in developing countries should meet the training needs of the poor in an effective and equitable manner. "The bulk of new jobs are being created in micro and small enterprises. Consequently, the training system should prepare people to be productively employed in these sectors" (ILO, 1998:57). The continuing lack of training opportunities for the poor and disadvantaged is, therefore, a constant refrain in the VET literature.

Questions Posed: HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Has Privatisation Benefited the Poor?
Privatisation is often considered detrimental to the poor because it entails the elimination of subsidies and therefore the increase in prices of products and services needed by the poor, such as water, electricity and public transportation.
