31.03.2004 La pobreza y la indigencia descendieron en el segundo semestre de 2003, acompañando la baja del desempleo y la recuperación de la economía. Ahora es pobre el 47,8% de la población urbana de la Argentina. En octubre de 2002 los pobres ascendían al 57,5%. La indigencia también se redujo, aunque aún es del 20,5%.

31.03.2004 La tasa de desocupación no ha dejado de caer desde octubre de 2002. En el último trimestre de 2003 fue de 14,5%. La creación de empleos acompaña el fuerte rebote de la economía, que el año pasado creció 8,7%. Pero los nuevos puestos son, en su mayoría, precarios. El 30,8% de la población económicamente activa tiene problemas de empleo y, si no fuera por el plan Jefes de Hogar, la desocupación aún sería de 19,7%.

31.03.2004 Investing $100 per person over the next seven years in the rebuilding of Afghanistan could bring the country close to where it might have been without 20 years of conflict--which probably cost 10 times more than the $27.5 billion donors meeting today in Berlin are being asked to pledge for reconstruction, according to World Bank calculations.

31.03.2004 At the end of a two-day meeting in Berlin, Afghan civil society groups concluded that the key to building lasting peace lies in the acronym DDR: Disarmament, Demobilization, Reintegration.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu hears testimony about crimes committed during South Africa's apartheid era.
31.03.2004 Prosecuting human rights abusers is now a familiar phase in a society's passage from conflict to peaceful development. But punitive justice is only one side of transition. Just as important - to heal lives and mend societies - is reparative justice for victims. Policy options for reparations remain sketchy, however, and the need for supporting research is profound.

30.03.2004 Les médicaments de première ligne utilisés aujourd'hui pour traiter la tuberculose ont été mis au point entre les années 1940 et 1960. Les médecins soignant les patients atteints de TB sont contraints de recourir à des tests diagnostiques et des médicaments obsolètes. Cependant, l'industrie pharmaceutique semble peu disposée à développer et commercialiser un nouveau médicament contre la TB destiné à un marché constitué essentiellement de patients à faible pouvoir d'achat. MSF appelle donc les gouvernements et l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à intervenir.

29.03.2004 Kehitysmaiden kannattaa ryhtyä tukkimaan aivovuotoa, jotta ne saisivat koulutuksen hyödyt näkymään taloudessaan, YK:ssa viime viikolla koolla olleet väestö- ja siirtolaisasiantuntijat painottavat. Toimeen on asiantuntijoiden mukaan tartuttava heti. Muuten kehitysmaat itse tarvitsevat vierastyövoimaa, kun hyvin koulutetut kansalaiset lähtevät leveämmän leivään perään ulkomaille.
