3.6 Securing incomes: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Societies at all levels of development face the challenge of organizing
systems to provide security against contingencies such as sickness, accident,
death of the main breadwinner, disability, old age, maternity and unemployment
that make individuals, families and communities vulnerable to poverty.
Through solidarity and fair burden sharing, social security systems contribute
to human security, dignity, equity and social justice. They are also a foundation
for political inclusion, empowerment and the development of
democracy. Half of the world’s population is excluded from any type of
social security protection, with the rate of coverage varying from almost
100 per cent in some industrialized countries to less than 10 per cent in the
poorest developing countries. |

The power of one – amongst all
| |
| “Inclusivity is recognising that my life, my fate, my future is inextricably linked to yours.” Sharif Abdullah.
I have just returned from the International Coach Federation Australasian Conference in Melbourne. The guest speaker was Sharif Abdullah who was truly inspirational. His philosophy mirrors a lot of what I do already, but I know I can do so much more.
The theme of the conference was Creating the Future Today. We were urged to “think BIG and to use our skills to address BIG issues such as sustainable resources, social inequalities and global disharmony.”

5.2 Is it factor accumulation or total factor productivity that drives growth in Africa?: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| To investigate the link between growth and diversification, it was important to
first quantify the contribution of TFP to economic growth. This section analyses
the sources of growth for African countries using the standard growth accounting
method, making it possible to disaggregate the shares of growth contributed by TFP,
capital and labour. Growth in output is the sum of the growth in capital, labour
and TFP. Capital accumulation is an essential element in the growth process, as it
enlarges the economy’s capacity to produce. Increases in labour or labour force have
traditionally been considered a positive factor in stimulating economic growth. |

| The object of the employment laws in India is social welfare legislation protecting the employees, protecting their contentment and regulates situation of crisis.

Latest findings from the world of Sales Transformation
| |
| I recently had the opportunity to MC and attend the Optimising the Sales Force Conference – OSF2010 which was the follow up to the inaugural OSF2009. Building on last year’s success, this year’s conference was attended by over 120 high level sales leaders across Australia. Once again I was privileged to be part of the panel of international and local experts presenting on this year’s topic, Sales Transformation.
This was the second time in Australia that we have had the opportunity to come together as a profession and share ideas and discuss important matters moving forward, and from the looks of it, we will be doing this again. The feedback from our international sales experts was that this was one of the best forums in the world. |
