The Global Competitiveness Report 2019

Globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have created new opportunities but also disruption and polarization within and between economies and societies. In this context, the World Economic Forum introduced last year the new Global Competitiveness Index 4.0, a much-needed new economic compass, building on 40 years of experience of benchmarking the drivers of long-term competitiveness.

World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2020

The enormous challenges in the world of work – including persistent inequalities and exclusion – make it more vital than ever to establish a clear picture of global employment and social trends. This requires critical reflection on the adequacy of our methods and concepts, with innovations where needed, to address today’s policy challenges. We need to question, for example, whether the unemployment rate provides the most reliable measure of labour market underperformance. We need to understand whether or not people of working age can realize their full potential in work.

Human Development Report 2019: Beyond income, beyond averages, beyond today: Inequalities in human development in the 21st century

In every country many people have little prospect for a better future. Lacking hope, purpose or dignity, they watch from society’s sidelines as they see others pull ahead to ever greater prosperity.

Far too often gender, ethnicity or parents’ wealth still determines a person’s place in society.

As Cambodia continues its transition to a higher level of development, it faces a historic opportunity to manage its natural resources for the benefit of both people and the environment.

Smoke on the Water

Since 2004, the ING City project has been progressively destroying the Tompoun/Cheung Ek wetlands in Phnom Penh, threatening the livelihoods and homes of more than a thousand families, devastating the wetlands ecosystem, placing more than a million people at increased risk of flooding, worsening food insecurity, and polluting the Mekong and Bassac rivers with untreated sewage and harmful pollutants. The wetlands are a vital flood protection area for Phnom Penh, as well as the city’s only wastewater treatment system. ING City, and other proponents, are currently infilling the wetlands with sand and dirt to create land for real estate.

Listening to Leaders Survey 2018: Is development cooperation turn-in or tone-deaf?

Do leaders, citizens and donors agree on the most important development challenges that need to be solved in the countries where they work? Whose support and what conditions make progress more or less likely? Which international donors do leaders consider to be their preferred development partners? To answer these questions, the Listening to Leaders 2018 report draws upon the unique experiences and perspectives of government officials, civil society leaders, private sector representatives, and development partners working on the ground in developing countries. Nearly 3,500 leaders working in 22 sectors of development policy in 126 low- and middle-income countries shared their insights via AidData’s 2017 Listening to Leaders Survey.
