  World of Work Report 2008: World of Work Report 2008 - Global income inequality gap is vast and grow

World of Work Report 2008 World of Work Report 2008 - Global income inequality gap is vast and growing Despite strong economic growth that produced millions of new jobs since the early 1990s, income inequality grew dramatically in most regions of the world and is expected to increase due to the current global financial crisis, according to a new study published today by the research arm of the International Labour Organization. (...) What’s more, compared with earlier expansionary periods, workers obtained a smaller share of the fruits of economic growth as the share of wages in national income declined in the vast majority of countries for which data was available. (...) “This development comes after a long expansionary phase where income inequality was already on the rise in the majority of countries.” Among its other conclusions, the report says: - Employment growth has also occurred alongside a redistribution of income away from labour.

  Affordable Land and Housing in Asia | UN-Habitat

While in different countries and regions the specificities of the challenge vary, the universal truism is that it is becoming increasing difficult for the vast majority of urban residents to obtain and retain adequate and affordable land and housing. This series canvases the state of affordable land and housing in four regions facing major affordability difficulties: Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and Europe and North America (member countries of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe). Each volume firstly explores the major trends in housing conditions, availability, quality and tenure modalities.

  Did you know?: Izmir and the Silk Roads | Silk Roads Programme

Knowledge and appreciation of these subjects helps to preserve, diffuse, and promote elements of our common heritage of the Silk Roads. The Silk Roads is a vast region that include complex networks of maritime and land routes. (...) Moreover, the cities along this vast region were capable to establish connections and form links thanks to the strategic position of their major cities such as Sana’a , Baghdad , or Izmir in Western Anatolia. (...) Nevertheless, from the seventeenth century, Izmir took over Bursa through the port of Phocaea, and became one of the major international trade centre for silk, as well as for goods, from East to West and conversely.
