Small Business Loans for Women
| |
| Not only are the number of small businesses on the rise throughout North America, but so too are the number of women-owned small businesses. Female entrepreneurs are rapidly becoming a major playing force in the world economy. In the United States alone, it’s estimated that women-owned small businesses employ more than 27 million people and generate over three and a half trillion dollars for the country’s economy. Taking that into account, one has to then wonder why small business loans for women are still in short supply. |

1.13 Working safely out of poverty: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| The poorest workers are the least protected. More often than not, prevention
of occupational accidents and diseases is missing from the agenda
where they work. Hazardous work takes its toll on the health of workers and
on productivity. It is unacceptable that the poor must be resigned to facing
disproportionate risks to their safety and health because they are poor.
South Asian countries are tackling hazards to workers, communities and the
environment in the ship-breaking industry, and the ILO is working with
them and other international partners to do so. We are showing that improvements
can be made in working conditions and the environment in
micro and small informal enterprises by low-cost investments that also raise
productivity. |

Work Life Balance
| |
| Balance is better understood as flow. For instance, I'm building my business right now. It's been my full-time occupation for about six months, and I've spent a disproportionate amount of time during that six months on my business.

The Holy Grail of providing Shareholder Value
| |
| In the world of the listed companies, that is those listed on various stock exchanges, the term shareholder value tends to take on disproportionate significance. All eyes are constantly focused on ensuring that shareholders are kept smiling.
It doesn’t take much to realise that this means that the company is gutted and robbed of all value to ensure that shareholders receive their return and more. If one doubted the validity of this statement it shouldn’t take long to cast ones eyes around and see how many large companies went belly-up or close to it in this recession. Whole industries took a nose dive. |

Dunbar's Number V/S Satyam's Number
| |
| Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.
