No Poverty

New evidence in SOFI 2018 confirms a rise in world hunger: the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to levels from almost a decade ago. Multiple forms of malnutrition are evident in many countries: adult obesity is growing even as forms of undernutrition persist. The report says that climate variability and extremes are key drivers behind this rise, together with conflict and economic downturns, and are threatening to erode and reverse gains made in ending hunger and malnutrition. SOFI 2018 reveals new challenges on the road to Zero Hunger, while setting out urgent actions needed to achieve the goal by 2030.

Today’s young people are the best educated generation of youth in history. However, the World Youth Report 2007 argues that for many young people, the transition to adulthood is slowed down by poverty and their inability to find decent work. The Report provides an in-depth look at key issues of concern to youth in the major regions of the world and points out that because of social and cultural constraints, many young people are excluded from accessing quality education, decent employment, health and other resources and services. The Report emphasizes that policymakers must focus not only on developing young people’s capacities through greater investment in areas such as education, health and skills training, but they must also provide and protect opportunities for young people to participate in development as a matter of priority. For the first time, the Report introduces a statistical annex that provides data on youth development indicators.

The World Youth Report 2013 focuses on the topic of youth and migration. It delivers a synopsis of the basic facts on youth migration and development discussing who is migrating, where they are coming from, where they are going to and why. The Report looks at the entire process involved in migration including the planning and preparations and the drivers behind the decisions that young people make. It examines the impact migration has on young people – those on the move as well as those who have been left behind - their experiences in transit and the lives of migrants in their destination countries and the challenges they face. First-hand experiences of youth are woven into the Report, adding another dimension to the material covered.

No country today—even those considered the wealthiest and most developed—can claim to be fully inclusive, where all people have equal opportunities and protections, and fully enjoy their human rights. In many developing countries, women who are poor, in the bottom 20 per cent of the income scale, and particularly those who are in rural areas, are far less likely to have access to contraceptives, and care during pregnancy and birth than their wealthier urban counterparts.

L’état de la population mondiale 2000 expose les raisons pour lesquelles il faut mettre en pleine lumière l’inégalité entre les sexes et la considérer comme un problème de haute urgence, qui retentit tant sur les droits de la personne que sur les priorités du développement. Le rapport examine les questions suivantes : sexe et santé ; violence à l’égard des femmes et des filles ; droits en matière de reproduction et égalité des sexes ; coût de l’inégalité des sexes ; droits de la femme ; rôle des gouvernements.

Le Dialogue de haut niveau sur la migration internationale et le développement 2006 offre une occasion cruciale de faire en sorte que les voix des femmes migrantes soient entendues. La reconnaissance explicite des droits humains des femmes et la nécessité d’instaurer l’égalité entre les sexes sont une condition préalable fondamentale de toute politique saine, équitable et efficace qui vise à gérer la migration en évitant tout désordre ou manque d’humanité. Ce rapport aborde la migration au XXIe siècle, les femmes et la migration, la traite des femmes, les femmes réfugiées et conclut sur les droits humains des migrants.

En este Report Card se describen las desigualdades en el bienestar infantil en 41 países de la Unión Europea (UE) y la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE). Se examina la desigualdad en el extremo inferior de la distribución, es decir, la brecha entre los niños que se sitúan en la parte baja y los que ocupan la posición media. Al mismo tiempo, se estudia hasta qué punto se deja que los niños se queden atrás en términos de ingresos, educación, salud y satisfacción en la vida.
