The term open government is often used to describe initiatives of putting government information on the Internet. This conceptualization is too restricted since open government is not only about openness in informational terms (vision) but also about openness in interactive terms (voice). On the basis of an analysis of... | sdg16 |
In the United States this is largely explained by the failure of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to keep pace with inflation and earnings. However, a second reason for lower NRRs among this group is that increased inwork support in the form of the EITC has largely benefited families with children. Except... | sdg10 |
As shown in figure IV.3, despite the fact that most countries display a considerable increase in life expectancy at birth, each person spends an average of 10 years in poor health (lost health expectancy (LHE)). Lost health expectancy is the difference between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at birth and is... | sdg3 |
A downstream country, for instance, may be more vulnerable because it has no possibility of influencing water management upstream, but in other cases upstream countries may be more vulnerable because of climatic or economic conditions. Transboundary consultation and cooperation is consequently imperative in analysing a... | sdg6 |
It is clear, as pointed by one of the referees, that investing more resources in a search of the literature would likely yield an even greater number of linkages than are documented here. This has to be kept in mind when reading the paper. The dimensions that SDG 17 encompasses (finance, capacity building, trade, infor... | sdg14 |
As a possible consequence demand for public transport is higher in Rome. The other differences are relatively more congested roads, less bicycle use and relatively higher fares in Riga versusTallinn. While the congestion should speak in favor of Riga in attracting demand for public transport, the already mentioned ITS ... | sdg11 |
It contributes to the policy dialogue on inclusive growth through two key findings. This negative influence appears stronger in low-income countries and seems to affect growth by lowering both female human capital acquisition and labour force participation, as well as total factor productivity. At the same time, it sho... | sdg5 |
While Universiti Sains Malaysia strives to become a globally competitive research university serving “billions”, there is limited targeted attention to the needs of the population within its region.

One of the targets of Goal 8 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the reduction in the number of young people in this situation, which means there is a need for information that explains the barriers to their integration into the labour market and the education system. The time-use data for this age group ... | sdg5 |
Global fixed-and mobile-broadband penetration had reached 9.8 and 32 per cent, respectively, by the end of 20141. While fixed broadband showed only cautious growth between 2013 and 2014, mobile-broadband subscriptions were three times higher than wire-line broadband connections worldwide and are growing fastest in the ... | sdg9 |
Tariff reductions, and the liberalisation of domestic markets, coupled with important technological and structural shifts in the agro-food sector, created a new incentive structure in Brazilian agriculture. Currently, agricultural and food commodities imported to Brazil are subject to ad valorem tariffs, and no specifi... | sdg2 |
Classically, polychaete worms predominate in the macrobenthos, followed by crustaceans, molluscs and echi-noderms (Gray and Elliott 2009). The benthic infauna, be they deposit-feeders from sediments or suspension-feed-ers from the water column, or those which are capable of both, provide an important link to higher tro... | sdg14 |
Their uncertainties increased recently as a result of a gradual change in the mechanisms of financing NGO operations. Previously, NGOs were entitled to 2% of businesses’ tax liabilities. However, from 2011, the amount is to be gradually reduced to 0.5% by 2019 (USAID, 2010). This change will probably result in a decrea... | sdg6 |
Failure to account for land quality, for example, may lead researchers to misattribute the associated differences in production to differences in the use of other inputs (Fulginiti and Perrin, 1997). Note: Sectoral production measured by value added. Given the strong concentration of the LDC labour force in agriculture... | sdg2 |
