WORLD MIGRATIONREPORT 2013


MigrantWell-being and developMent


Since the first-ever UN General Assembly High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development (HLD) in 2006, the international debate about how best to harness the benefits of migration for development has intensified significantly. Yet migration remains inadequately integrated into development frameworks at national and local levels, and public perceptions of migrants and migration are often very negative. In 2013, a second High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development will be held, presenting the international community with a critical opportunity to focus its attention on how to make migration work for development and poverty reduction. The HLD takes place at an important time, as the international community is seeking to formulate a new agenda for global development as we approach the target year of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015. The World Migration Report 2013 contributes to the global debate on migration and development in three ways: First, the focus of the report is on the migrant, and on how migration affects a person’s well-being. Many reports on migration and development focus on the impact of remittances: the money that migrants send back home. This report takes a different approach, exploring how migration affects a person’s quality of life and their human development across a broad range of dimensions. Second, the report draws upon the findings of a unique source of data – the Gallup World Poll surveys, conducted in more than 150 countries, to assess the well-being of migrants worldwide for the first time. Third, the report sheds new light on how migrants rate their lives, whether they live in a high-income country in the North, or a low or middle income country in the South. Traditionally the focus has been on those migrating from lower income countries to more affluent ones; this report considers movements in all four migration pathways and their implications for development i.e. migration from the South to North, between countries of the South or between countries of the North, as well as movements from the North to the South. The first three chapters of the World Migration Report 2013 provide an introduction to the chosen theme ‘Migrant Well-being and Development’, present the current global migration situation across four migration pathways and review existing research on the emerging field of happiness and subjective well-being. Chapter four presents original findings on migrant well-being from the Gallup World Poll, looking at outcomes on six core dimensions of well-being across the four migration pathways. The final part draws conclusions and makes recommendations for future initiatives to monitor migrant well-being and the impact of migration on development, with reference to the inclusion of migration in the post-2015 global development framework.

The World Drug Report presents a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in drug markets. It covers production, trafficking, consumption and the related health consequences. Chapter 1 of this year’s Report examines the global situation and the latest trends in the different drug markets and the extent of illicit drug use, as well as the related health impact. Chapter 2 addresses the issue of new psychoactive substances (substances of abuse that are not controlled by the Drug Conventions, but which may pose a public health threat), a phenomenon that can have deadly consequences for their users, but which is hard to control with its dynamic producers and fast-mutating “product lines” which have emerged over the last decade.

Global Environment Outlook 5 (GEO-5): Environment for the Future We WantUnited Nations Environment ProgrammeThe Global Environment Outlook (GEO) is a major publication for all those who are inter-ested in environmental issues. It has brought together thousands of scientists and hundreds of collaborating centres. Using the integrated environmental assessment (IEA) methodol-ogy, the United Nations Environment Pro-gramme has produced fi ve GEO reports thus far, which have analyzed environmental state and trends at the global and regional scales, described plausible outlooks for various time frames and formulated policy options. Each GEO report builds on the assessment fi ndings of its predecessor reports and draws upon les-sons learnt.

UNEP Year Book 2013: Emerging Issues in Our Global EnvironmentUnited Nations Environment ProgrammeThis series examines emerging environmental issues and policy-relevant events and develop-ments. It also presents the latest trends using key environmental indicators. This 2013 edition shows that changes in the Arctic will have con-sequences far beyond this fragile region and that they require an urgent international re-sponse. The volume of chemicals in the world continues to grow, with a shift in production from developed to developing countries. To meet the goal of producing and using chemi-cals in ways that minimize signifi cant impacts on health and the environment by 2020, eff orts must be made to reduce the use of toxic chem-icals, promote safer alternatives and build ca-pacity for sound chemicals management. Ad-equate information for minimizing chemical risks is essential to support these eff orts.

The Asia-Pacifi c Disaster Report 2012: Reducing Vulnerability and Exposure to DisastersUnited NationsThe main message of this publication is that exposure and vulnerability continue to be twin challenges for the region. Faced with growing economic losses and increas-ingly vulnerable populations, and inspired by good practices in reducing social vulner-ability, the publication analyzes the drivers of risks and the strategies that are in place to deal with these growing risks.

Integrating Environmental Sustainability and Disaster Resilience in Building CodesUnited NationsThe publication reports on a project carried out by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacifi c (ESCAP) in partnership with the Asian Insti-tute of Technology on the subject of building codes in the Asia-Pacifi c region. It presents the conclusions of an analysis on the current status of integration of environmental sus-tainability and disaster resilience in building codes. The report also summarizes the fi nd-ings of documenting six good practices for enforcing greener and more resilient build-ings. It concludes with recommendations on the subject.

The Role of Ecosystems in Disaster Risk ReductionUnited Nations UniversityThe increasing worldwide trend in disasters, aggravated by global environmental change, urges us to implement new approaches to hazard mitigation, as well as exposure and vulnerability reduction. Ecosystem manage-ment is a well-tested solution to sustainable development that is being revisited because of its inherent “win–win” and “no-regrets” appeal to address rising disaster and cli-mate change issues. It is one of the few ap-proaches that can impact all elements of the disaster risk equation – mitigating hazards, reducing exposure, reducing vulnerabilities and increasing the resilience of exposed communities. Yet, the uptake of ecosystem-based approaches for disaster risk reduction (DRR) is slow despite good examples of suc-cess stories. Reasons for this are explained in this publication.

2013 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction: From Shared Risk to Shared Value - The Business Case for Disaster Risk ReductionUnited NationsThis is the third biennial report coordinated by the United Nations Offi ce for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). The report explores why increasing disaster risks represent a growing problem for the economic and busi-ness community on diff erent scales. It exam-ines how paradoxically business investments that aimed to strengthen competitiveness and productivity may have inadvertently contributed to increasing risks. This report seeks to engage businesses in a dialogue on disaster risk management that goes beyond the current emphasis on response and pre-paredness and instead identifi es opportuni-ties for the creation of shared value for busi-ness and society.

Risk Management in Regulatory Frameworks: Towards a Better Management of RisksUnited NationsRecent years have been marked by many catastrophic events both natural and man-made. Close interconnections mean that the impact of these crises has been felt through-out the world. Although many tools have been developed to manage risks success-fully, there can be no doubt that many of the losses we have recently witnessed could have been prevented, or minimized, in the context of an eff ective and well-balanced regulatory system. The goal of this publication is to pro-vide insights and recommendations for poli-cymakers on designing regulatory systems that result in an effi cient, eff ective and trans-parent management of risks. This is a practi-cal book. It introduces a holistic model of a regulatory system, function by function and with real-life examples, which is based on the objective of managing risks eff ectively.

Inventory of Shared Water Resources in Western AsiaUnited NationsThis publication is the fi rst UN-led eff ort to make a comprehensive assessment of the state of transboundary surface and ground-water resources in the Middle East. It follows a standardized structure, with eight surface water chapters and 19 groundwater chap-ters that systematically address hydrology, hydrogeology, water resources development and use, international water agreements and transboundary water management eff orts. The chapters cover all rivers and groundwa-ter resources shared between Arab countries in the Middle East and include data on water resources that are shared with Iran, Israel and Turkey. Boasting over 50 new maps and 200 fi gures, tables and boxes with recent, compre-hensive data series, the Inventory provides an up-to-date view of the state and evolution of shared water resources in the region.

Measuring Vulnerability to Natural Hazards: Towards Disaster Resilient Societies (Second Edition)United Nations UniversityThis publication is a completely revised, sec-ond edition of the popular book of the same title. Aside from being fully updated, this new edition includes the dimension of adaptation to climate change and new risks resulting from climate change. The text provides and combines practical examples from Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe with theo-retical and conceptual frameworks. It is key reading for all those interested in improving risk reduction and adaptation strategies to extreme events and gradual changes in the context of climate change and natural haz-ards. Measuring vulnerability and evaluat-ing adaptation are essential prerequisites to strengthening the capacities of communities in building resilience through knowledge-based approaches.

“At the (…) Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012, world leaders pledged to adopt forward-looking macroeconomic policies that promote sustainable development and lead to sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth (…) The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2013 makes it clear that such investments are not only essential but also affordable.”

BAN Ki-moonSecretary-General of the United Nations

Half a decade since the onset of the Great Recession, the Asia-Pacific region continues to anchor the global economy, but its rate of economic growth remains subdued compared to the pre-global financial crisis period. It is also showing signs of strain, as uncertainty and crisis deepen in the United States and the euro zone. More importantly, the Asia-Pacific region’s growth path continues to leave behind hundreds of millions and to put unsustainable pressure on the natural resource base.

The 2013 edition of the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific argues that macroeconomic policies can play a key role not only in supporting the economies of the region in the short term, but also in reorienting the region towards a more inclusive and sustainable pattern of development. By carefully designing short-term support measures, it is possible to sustain growth as well as address long-term structural issues.

As an illustrative example, the Survey 2013 estimates, for a number of Asia-Pacific countries, the public investment needs required to deliver a package of policies to sustain growth and to promote inclusive and sustainable development. The policy package comprises a job guarantee programme, a universal pension scheme, disability benefits, increased public health spending, universal school enrolment and universal access to modern energy.

The Survey finds that most countries can finance such a package without jeopardizing macroeconomic stability, although least developed countries would also require global partnership and development cooperation. The analysis underlines the need to move forward the regional development agenda from a discussion on the future we want to the means of implementation to realize that future.

Preliminary Overview of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean 2012United NationsThe 2012 edition of the Preliminary Over-view of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean analyzes the impact of the global economic crisis in the region. In general terms, the region’s economy proved resilient, despite the global economic down-turn. The monetary policy was slightly ex-pansionary during 2012, the fi scal position deteriorated in most of the countries, but fi scal policies remained predominantly pru-dent, employment and wages rose, with unemployment falling more among women than among men. The economic outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean depends heavily on how the global economy will evolve in 2013.

Social Panorama of Latin America 2012United NationsTo cast new light on social inequality, the latest edition of Social Panorama of Latin America is devoted mainly to aspects of caregiving on which systematized informa-tion for the region has not been available hitherto: paid employment in care-related activities, household expenditure on care, and the situation and care needs of persons with disabilities. This edition aims, in fact, to generate knowledge on a link in the chain of social reproduction which has long been sidestepped by public policy, since the is-sue made little inroads into the discussion or the policy agendas of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean until a few years ago.

World Youth Report: Youth Employment - Youth Perspectives on the Pursuit of Decent Work in Changing TimesUnited NationsThis is a biennially recurring publication of the United Nations. This edition is largely based on an e-discussion with young people and representatives of youth-led organiza-tions on the transition from schools and training institutions into the world of work. It shares the participants’ views, experiences and recommendations on preparing for, en-tering, and remaining active in the labour force. Young people are crucial stakehold-ers in the pursuit of decent and productive work for all, often pioneers in their respective fi elds, yet, too frequently, their voices go un-heard particularly with decision-makers. This report brings young people’s voices into the forefront where youth issues are discussed and acted upon.

Economic Report on Africa 2013: Making the Most of Africa’s Commodities- Industrializing for Growth, Jobs and Economic TransformationUnited NationsAfrica’s growth plummeted during its ‘lost decades’ of the 1980s and 1990s while un-employment soared, and production and export bases became more concentrated. Africa boasts signifi cant human and natu-ral resources that can be used to promote industrialization and structural economic transformation through value-addition strat-egies in all sectors. This publication examines key constraints and opportunities for African countries to make the most of their com-modities by adding value through linkage development. It also addresses how African countries can design and implement policies to promote value addition and economic transformation, and reduce their depen-dence on producing and exporting unpro-cessed commodities.

African trade posed by non-implementation of regional trade agreements and provides new insights into how to enhance imple-mentation of existing regional agreements.

The report argues that for African countries to reap expected gains from intra-African trade and regional integration, they will need to place the building of productive capacities and domestic entrepreneur-ship at the heart of the policy agenda for boosting intra-African trade. In this con-text, the report recommends that African Governments should promote intra-Africantrade in the context of developmental regionalism. In particular, it stresses the need for a shift from a linear and process-based approach to integration, which focuses on elimination of trade barriers, to a more development-based approach to integration, which pays as much attention to the building of productive capacities and private sector develop-ment as to the elimination of trade barriers.

ntra-African trade presents oppor-tunities for sustained growth and development in Africa. It has the potential to reduce vulnerabilityto global shocks, contribute to economic diversification, enhance

export competitiveness and create em-ployment. African Governments havemade several attempts to exploit this po-tential of regional trade for development, the most recent being the decision by African leaders at the African Union sum-mit in January 2012 to boost intra-African trade and fast-track the establishment of a continental free trade area. Against this background, the Economic Development in Africa Report (EDAR) 2013, subtitled Intra-African Trade: Unlocking PrivateSector Dynamism focuses on how tostrengthen the private sector to boostintra-African trade. The report providessome facts on intra-African trade andhighlights distinctive features of Africa’s enterprise structure that have to be ad-dressed to promote intra-African trade. It also examines the challenges for intra-

International Cooperation for Sustainable DevelopmentUnited NationsThe report reviews trends in international development cooperation, including com-mitments and quality and impact of de-velopment assistance. It analyses a broad range of issues that aff ect the eff ectiveness of development cooperation. Building on the DCF’s work, special emphasis was placed on mutual accountability on development cooperation as well as South-South and tri-angular cooperation. The report also exam-ines the implications of putting sustainable development at the heart of a post 2015 UN development for the future of development cooperation. This second independent Inter-national Development Cooperation Report draws upon analysis produced in connection with the 2012 biennial Development Coop-eration Forum. Like the Forum itself, the re-port pays particular attention to the views of various stakeholders.

Development Financing and Economic InsecurityUnited NationsDespite the rise in recent decades in the av-erage income level, economic insecurity has also increased. True for both developing and developed countries, this increasing econom-ic insecurity is harmful for human welfare for several reasons. Job and income insecurity directly aff ect the material and psychological well-being of people. Economic volatility and high uncertainty also tend to exert negative infl uence on productive investment, thereby hurting long-term development. This book sheds light on the causes of economic inse-curity and how better functioning fi nancial systems, more eff ective macroeconomic poli-cies and extended micro-fi nancing schemes could mitigate the degree of economic inse-curity in developing countries and overcome many of its negative consequences.

Livelihoods and Economic Recovery in Crisis SituationsUnited Nations Development ProgrammeDisasters and violent confl icts claim lives, destroy livelihoods and undermine develop-ment. They heighten social and economic insecurity and endanger those already vul-nerable. This publication focuses on the res-toration of economic strength in the after-math of a confl ict or disaster with a view to foster long-term peace and stability, create resilience and set in motion an equitable and sustainable process of development. The UN approach to early stabilization and inclusive growth embraces nationally-owned, crisis and gender-sensitive interventions that are aligned with security, recovery, confl ict pre-vention and development programming. This publication highlights what is done to help sustain livelihoods and revitalise econo-mies in crisis and confl ict-aff ected countries.

Social Protection, Growth and EmploymentUnited Nations Development ProgrammeThe currenrt global fi nancial and economic crisis has highlighted and reinforced the need for eff ective social protection mecha-nisms that prevent households from falling into poverty while also being sustainable, thus helping families to improve their earn-ings permanently. Meanwhile, social protec-tion policies must be consistent with labour market mechanisms and with employment policy in order for either or both to be as ben-efi cial as possible. This volume, using a broad defi nition of social protection, takes an in-depth look at selected programmes and their interaction with employment generation and growth in India, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, Peru and Tajikistan. It explores how social and eco-nomic policies can be better integrated to simultaneously advance social welfare, em-ployment outcomes and inclusive growth.

The Least Developed Countries Report 2013: Growth with Employment for Inclusive and Sustainable DevelopmentUnited NationsUN estimates show that Least Developed Countries (LDCs) population will grow rap-idly to 1,500 million by 2040 from today’s 880 million, and the labour force will almost double. Approximately 130 million people in LDCs will be entering the labour force un-til 2020, which makes creating employment opportunities a real challenge. The report aims to raise awareness and galvanize the attention of policy makers to the magnitude of the problem. It also reviews and analyses recent labour market performance of the LDCs, compares it with the future needs in relation to job creation, and elaborates con-crete policy recommendations for growth with employment.

Financing Human Development in Africa, Asia and the Middle EastUnited NationsThis book assesses feasible fi nancing strate-gies for policymakers to follow in pursuance of human development, taking as reference the United Nations’ Millennium Develop-ment Goals (MDGs) and their achievement by 2015. These strategies are analyzed in the context of broader concerns of economic development with special reference to nine countries from Africa, Asia and the Middle East; that is, how to make macroeconomic policies support more eff ectively sustained growth while reducing widespread poverty and inequalities and other human develop-ment gaps in low- and middle-income coun-tries, especially in times of global economic crises or external shocks. In this sense, this book adds new evidence regarding the so-cial defi cits in these countries and suggests policy options to overcome them.

Measuring and Analysing the Generational Economy: National Transfer Accounts ManualUnited NationsNational Transfer Accounts (NTA) provides a coherent accounting framework of economic fl ows from one age group or generation to another, typically for a national population in a given calendar year. This manual presents and consolidates concepts in a systematic fashion, together with methods and estima-tion procedures that measure these fl ows of resources across age. NTA estimates are use-ful to understand and analyse inter-genera-tional economic fl ows, and the implications of changing population age structures for the fi scal sustainability of social programmes, the accumulation of physical and human capital, macroeconomic growth, and familial sup-port for children, youth and older persons.

Survey of Economic and Social Developments in the Arab Region 2012-2013United NationsThis publication assesses the most recent economic and social developments in Arab countries, using the data that became avail-able by the 2nd quarter of 2013. The im-mediate policy challenge for most of Arab countries is to create employment without relying on an expansionary fi scal and mon-etary policy mix. The survey fi nds that several policy options are available for this policy challenge even in this highly uncertain situa-tion surrounding the region’s socioeconomic development. In parallel to the specifi c policy proposals, the survey emphasizes the importance of policy dialogue in the area of employment and more constructive regional integration framework on this subject.

Report of the World Social Situation 2013: Inequality MattersUnited NationsThe 2013 report examines the key drivers of inequality that have emerged in the recent past and the impact of rising inequality. It examines key trends in social, economic and spatial inequalities and assesses why in-equality matters in order to propose policy solutions to this persistent problem, paying particular attention to the potential role of empowerment and participation. The report highlights inequalities within and across countries and shows the cumulative, mutual-ly-reinforcing eff ects these inequalities have on the systematic lack of participation and disadvantage of some social groups and on the intergenerational transmission of pover-ty. The report discusses the role of economic and political institutions in promoting par-ticipation and empowerment.

Ageing, Solidarity and Social Protection in Latin America and the Caribbean: Time for Progress towards EqualityUnited NationsThis publication aims to contribute to the re-search, analysis and design of proposals for the social protection of older persons. It de-velops a new conceptual approach and uses various indicators for its assessment in the areas of social security, health and social ser-vices. All human beings must be able to avail themselves of equal rights, without discrimi-nation, and these rights must be enforced through serious, strategic and sustainable commitments which accommodate both present and long-term challenges. Only then will it be possible to develop an approach which includes each and every citizen and contributes to their well-being and security, so that they can make full use of their capaci-ties, regardless of their age or economic ac-tivity.

Conscientious Objection to Military ServiceUnited NationsThis publication addresses selective con-scientious objection to particular wars, for those who volunteered to serve in the armed forces and in the reserves. For those who are or may be conscripted into the armed forces, this book specifi es issues relating to their right to know their rights and applicable procedures, decision-making processes in dealing with applications, and the require-ments for fair and impartial procedure.

Jacketed Women: Qualitative Research Methodologies on Sexualities and Gender in AfricaUnited Nations UniversityIn 2004, the African Gender Institute ran a continental research project, Mapping Sexu-alities, among the objectives of which was the development of a research methodology suited to carrying out in-depth case studies of the dynamics of gender and contemporary sexual cultures in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda. This book is the result of that research. The chapters cover broad-ranging issues and include questions about what it means to research topics that are unpopular or fraught with the sense of the taboo that underpins much work in sexualities and gen-der studies. Overall, the diverse pieces within the collection off er the opportunity to see qualitative research not as the ‘poor cousin’ of quantitative studies but as a zone which raises intellectual and political challenges.

Peacebuilding

EscapingVictimhood

Edited by Albrecht Schnabel & Anara Tabyshalieva

Realizing the Right to Development: Essays in Commemoration of 25 Years of the United Nations Declaration on the Right to DevelopmentUnited NationsThis book contains a collection of analyti-cal studies of various aspects of the right to development, which include the rule of law and good governance, aid, trade, debt, technology transfer, intellectual property, access to medicines and climate change in the context of an enabling environment at the local, regional and international levels. It also explores the issues of poverty, women and indigenous peoples within the theme of social justice and equity. The book consid-ers the strides that have been made over the years in measuring progress in implement-ing the right to development and possible ways forward to make the right to develop-ment a reality for all in an increasingly fragile, interdependent and ever-changing world.

Escaping Victimhood: Children, Youth and Post-Confl ict PeacebuildingUnited Nations UniversityThis publication draws on experiences from post-confl ict environments in diff erent parts of the world. The authors examine the pro-active roles of girls and boys in promoting security for themselves and their families. The publication focuses on children’s suff er-ing and their specifi c vulnerabilities during and after a war. It also looks into the inter-national legal frameworks created to protect and empower children and youth in post-confl ict environments, and gives examples of initiatives to help young people escape victimhood and voicelessness. As the young post-war generation will become the next leaders, parents and teachers, ensuring chil-dren and youth’s active role in post-confl ict peacebuilding today could be among the most eff ective means of building sustainable peace tomorrow.

Championing Children’s Rights: A Global Study of IndependentHuman Rights Institutions for ChildrenUNICEF Innocenti Research CentreIndependent institutions bring an explicit child focus to traditional adult-oriented gov-ernance systems. Acting as direct mecha-nisms for accountability, they fi ll gaps in checks and balances and make sure that the impact of policy and practice on chil-dren’s rights is understood and recognized. At a time of global economic uncertainty, a period in which inequities between rich and poor are widening, and a period of refl ection on progress towards achieving the Millenium Development Goals and in defi ning what sustainable and equitable goals should come after, these institutions are key players in pro-moting systems that are eff ective in deliver-ing results for children.

October 2011

Globally Harmonized System of Classifi cation and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS): Fifth Revised EditionUnited NationsThis publication addresses classifi cation and labelling of chemicals by types of hazards and provides the basis for worldwide harmoniza-tion of rules and regulations used in various sectors. It aims at enhancing the protection of human health and the environment dur-ing the handling, transport and use of these chemicals by ensuring that the information about their physical, chemical and environ-mental hazards is available. The fi fth revised edition includes a new test method for oxi-dizing solids, new miscellaneous changes to further clarify the criteria for the hazard classes skin corrosion/irritation, severe eye damage/irritation and aerosols; revised and simplifi ed classifi cation and labelling sum-mary tables; a new codifi cation system for pictograms and revised and further rational-ized precautionary statements.

Organized Crime and Instability in Central Africa: A Threat AssessmentUnited NationsNo area of the world faces a greater challenge with regard to resource-related confl ict than Central Africa. The violence and instability in the region has cost millions of lives, ranking among the most deadly in recent history. All those presently indicted by the Interna-tional Criminal Court come from Central Af-rica, broadly defi ned, and more children are exploited in armed confl ict in Central Africa than in any other part of the world. While the causes of the confl ict are complex, there can be little doubt that resource theft and smuggling have enabled armed groups and perpetuated an environment of lawlessness and impunity. This publication assesses the mechanics of how contraband and resource smuggling fuel confl ict, prolong instability and retard development.

Manufacture of Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances andtheir Precursors 2011United NationsThis publication lists national manufacturers authorized by governments to manufacture or convert specifi c narcotic drugs and psycho-tropic substances, as well as manufacturers of precursor chemicals, on a country-by-country basis.

THE IMPERATIVE OF GOOD LOCAL

GOVERNANCEChallenges for the Next

Decade of Decentralization

October 2013

The Imperative of Good Local Governance: Challenges for the Next Decade of DecentralizationUnited Nations UniversityThis state-of-the-art volume on local gover-nance, decentralization and local democracy summarizes original research conducted in the last decade. It is a future-looking volume with explicit policy relevance, that paves the way for innovative thinking (and acting) re-lated to development in the fi eld. From a the-oretical perspective it adjoins top–down and bottom–up rationalities, which are illustrated by a variety of case studies. The case studies are selected for their relevance to the current global evolution of decentralized policies and politics. This volume concludes that lo-cal politics have a huge potential that needs to be explored. It gives valuable insights into how this can be achieved.

Good Practices and Innovations in Public Governance: United Nations Public Service Awards Winners 2012-2013United NationsThis publication provides an overview of successful innovations in governance and public administration from countries that received the United Nations Public Service Awards, which is the most prestigious inter-national recognition of excellence in public service.

Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing

United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing CountriesUnited NationsThis publication responds to the need ex-pressed by developing countries for clearer guidance on the policy and administrative aspects of applying transfer pricing analysis to some of the transactions of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in particular. Such guid-ance should not only assist policy makers and administrators in dealing with complex transfer pricing issues, but should also assist taxpayers in their dealings with tax admin-istrations. Without an eff ective response to transfer pricing issues, profi ts earned in one jurisdiction might appear to be shifted to another jurisdiction. This may have the net eff ect of minimizing tax revenues in a coun-try where economic activity of the MNE takes place, and therefore the ability to fi nance the country’s development.

Technology and Innovation Report 2012: Innovation, Technology and South-South CollaborationUnited NationsThis Technology and Innovation Report argues that with the growing importance of develop-ing countries globally, the time is ripe to move beyond analyzing current trends in South-South trade and investment to begin concep-tualizing how and to what extent South-South cooperation can help address specifi c devel-opmental goals in the developing world. One such goal is bridging the technological divide and promoting industrialization and inclusive globalization within the developing world as a whole. The Report seeks to contribute to new policy insights through relevant data and analysis on south-south technology and inno-vation issues.

India: A New Player in Asian Production Networks?United NationsWhile the international production networks (IPN) phenomenon has accelerated trade and investment linkages between countries in East and South-East Asia, the remainder of the re-gion has not matched those countries in this process. The objective of this study is to ex-plore the reasons for this by using India’s per-formance in the Asian IPNs as a case study for other countries that are trailing behind in this area. The study seeks to identify the reasons why India has performed below its potential in this new form of international division of labour, even though that country possess sev-eral supportive factors including: (a) the sheer size of the economy and population; (b) a large pool of engineers; (c) relatively sound intellec-tual property protection; and (d) an increasing-ly open trade and investment climate resulting from progressive economic reforms.

World Investment Report 2013: Global Value Chains - Investment and Trade for DevelopmentUnited NationsThis publication presents the latest data and analysis of trends in foreign direct invest-ment (FDI) and related policies. The report analyses the sharp decline in global FDI fl ows in 2012, which was particularly marked among developed countries. As a conse-quence, developing economies received more FDI than developed countries for the fi rst time ever. Moreover, developing coun-tries were the source of almost one third of global FDI fl ows. Over the period 2013–2014, FDI fl ows are projected to rise moderately. However, a number of potentially destabiliz-ing factors may add to the uncertain outlook for the global economy and thus constrain the pace of FDI recovery.

Asia-Pacifi c Trade and Investment Report 2012: Recent Trends and DevelopmentsUnited NationsThis report focuses on trends and devel-opments in the economies of Asia and the Pacifi c in their post-recovery from the 2008-2009 crisis and trade collapse. The report fi nds that after the initial promising signals of a recovery in 2010, exports from Asia and the Pacifi c are again facing a risk of deceleration. Pressure in the euro zone and the rising threat from a slowdown in the emerging economies have raised the fear of trade and investment contractions. The growth of goods exports in develop-ing Asia and the Pacifi c countries, in real terms, was expected to drop in 2012, while import growth was projected to fall. Export opportunities continues to de-pend on the growth of intraregional de-mand and the ability of developing coun-tries to deal with various external shocks.

Adjusting to the changing dynamics

of the world economy


TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT, 2013

Trade and Development Report 2013: Adjusting to the Changing Dynamics of the World EconomyUnited NationsThe shape of the world economy has changed signifi cantly over the last two de-cades, with a rising importance of several developing countries and regions driving global economic growth. The main objective of this report is to assess the systemic chang-es in the underlying structure of the world economy and to analyse the resulting policy challenges. The report’s main message is that in order to achieve high, sustained and inclusive growth, developing and transition economies need to move towards a new form of development, away from seeking net-export advantages on the back of global imbalances. Strengthening domestic income and demand and reinvigorating regional co-ordination are needed.

This report presents the 2010 Revision of the population estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. The 2010 Revision constitutes the twenty second round of the global population esti-mates and projections produced by the Population Division since 1951 and it breaks new ground in the production of population projections. For the first time, projections are carried out up to 2100, instead of 2050 as previously. In order to extend the projection period to 2100, a new method for the projection of fertility was developed. The method used in the 2010 Revision is based on the advances made in projecting fertility since the 2000 Revision, advances that have been combined with a probabilistic approach to yield the future paths of fertility used in producing the medium variant of the 2010 Revi-sion. The full results of the 2010 Revision are presented in two volumes. The first volume provides comprehensive tables displaying key demographic indicators for each develop-ment group, major area, region and country for selected periods or dates within 1950-2100. The second volume contains demographic profiles presenting time series and plots covering the period from 1950 to 2100 for selected indicators for each country with at least 100,000 inhabitants in 2010 as well as for development groups, major areas and regions.

Children on the MoveInternational Organization for MigrationMillions of children are on the move, both within and between countries, with or without their parents. The conditions un-der which movement takes place are of-ten treacherous, putting migrant children, especially unaccompanied and separated children, at an increased risk of economic or sexual exploitation, abuse, neglect and vio-lence. Policy responses to protect and sup-port these migrant children are often frag-mented and inconsistent and while children on the move have become a recognised part of today’s global and mixed migration fl ows they are still largely invisible in debates on both child protection and migration.

Youth Exclusion in the ESCWA Region:Demographic, Economic, Educational and Cultural Factors

Millions of young people in the ESCWA member countries suffer multifaceted exclusion. Aspects of this exclusion vary from country to country; ranging from rising unemployment, low qualifications, exacerbated illiteracy, to decline of social and political participation.

Given their wide capabilities, these conditions impede life progress of young people and reduce their integration in society; thus preventing the countries concerned from benefiting from the demographic window they have and impeding national and even regional development. These resources cannot be utilized, now or in the future, without expeditious short and medium term interventions, within declared powerful youth policies covering broad areas, based on specific goals and targets that mobilize all the necessary capabilities. Such policies would be guided by the World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond and best international practices.

Since the first-ever UN General Assembly High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development (HLD) in 2006, the international debate about how best to harness the benefits of migration for development has intensified significantly. Yet migration remains inadequately integrated into development frameworks at national and local levels, and public perceptions of migrants and migration are often very negative. In 2013, a second High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development will be held, presenting the international community with a critical opportunity to focus its attention on how to make migration work for development and poverty reduction. The HLD takes place at an important time, as the international community is seeking to formulate a new agenda for global development as we approach the target year of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015. The World Migration Report 2013 contributes to the global debate on migration and development in three ways: First, the focus of the report is on the migrant, and on how migration affects a person’s well-being. Many reports on migration and development focus on the impact of remittances: the money that migrants send back home. This report takes a different approach, exploring how migration affects a person’s quality of life and their human development across a broad range of dimensions. Second, the report draws upon the findings of a unique source of data – the Gallup World Poll surveys, conducted in more than 150 countries, to assess the well-being of migrants worldwide for the first time. Third, the report sheds new light on how migrants rate their lives, whether they live in a high-income country in the North, or a low or middle income country in the South. Traditionally the focus has been on those migrating from lower income countries to more affluent ones; this report considers movements in all four migration pathways and their implications for development i.e. migration from the South to North, between countries of the South or between countries of the North, as well as movements from the North to the South. The first three chapters of the World Migration Report 2013 provide an introduction to the chosen theme ‘Migrant Well-being and Development’, present the current global migration situation across four migration pathways and review existing research on the emerging field of happiness and subjective well-being. Chapter four presents original findings on migrant well-being from the Gallup World Poll, looking at outcomes on six core dimensions of well-being across the four migration pathways. The final part draws conclusions and makes recommendations for future initiatives to monitor migrant well-being and the impact of migration on development, with reference to the inclusion of migration in the post-2015 global development framework.

It is published amidst a growing debate on how the benefi ts of migration can best be harnessed for development. This re-port contributes to the global debate on mi-gration and development in three ways, spe-cifi cally, by presenting a more holistic picture of development, by assessing the well-being of migrants worldwide for the fi rst time using fi ndings of the Gallup World Poll conducted in more than 150 countries, and by analysing how migration outcomes diff er depending on the origin and destination of migrants.

Guidelines for Producing Statistics on Violence against Women: Statistical SurveysUnited NationsViolence against women is an obstacle to achieve equality, development and peace. It violates human rights and fundamental freedoms. In all societies, women and girls are subjected to abuse that cuts across lines of income, class and culture. Data on various forms of violence against women, the causes and consequences of violence, are the start-ing point for developing eff ective mecha-nisms at policy levels to eradicate this phe-nomenon. Properly designed and executed, surveys produce the most reliable data on the prevalence of violence and shed light on the scope, nature and consequences of such violence. Surveys also collect information on circumstances surrounding violence, health consequences and the actions women took to seek help.

Year in Review 2012: United Nations Peace OperationsUnited NationsNo day is quite the same in the life of a peacekeeper and working in the fi eld has its demands and rewards. Peace operations con-tinue to evolve with more robust and multi-dimensional mandates requiring expertise in human rights, justice, rule of law, security and political diplomacy, to name a few. The Year in Review features the activities of the UN Peacekeeping Missions in 2012, highlighting the successes and challenges that emerge throughout the year. It looks at how these challenges-- many times unforeseen, always under diffi cult conditions --are met by the peacekeepers on the ground as they work towards maintaining peace and security, protecting civilians, and providing support to fragile societies and governments in post-confl ict settings.

Transforming the United Nations System: Designs for a Workable WorldUnited Nations UniversityIn this publication it is argued that one na-tion–one vote decision-making in most United Nations agencies fails to refl ect the distribution of power in the world at large. Hence, nations are reluctant to endow the UN with the authority and the resources it needs. It is proposed that systemic improve-ments, largely through weighted voting for-mulae that balance the needs of stakehold-ers in diverse UN agencies be introduced. It indicates ways by which the interests of regions can supplement those of nations. It also proposes that NGOs and ordinary citi-zens be given a greater voice. The aim is not to create an unrealistic utopia, but rather to establish a workable world where law sup-plants force and where sustainable develop-ment prevails.

Millennium Development Goals Gap Task Force Report 2013United NationsThe present report reveals backsliding on a number of commitments covered by Millen-nium Development Goal (MDG) 8 in the past year, and some progress in others. Offi cial de-velopment assistance has fallen for a second year in a row and the multilateral trade nego-tiations remain at an impasse, but duty free access for exports from developing countries has improved. While the use of information and communication technologies increas-es, the costs remain higher in developing countries and essential medicines remain insuffi ciently accessible. Thus, there are some signs that political momentum for advanc-ing international development cooperation has weakened. However, some governments have consistently pursued their commit-ments despite domestic austerity policies.

Post-confl ict Reconstruction and Development in Africa: Concepts, Role-players, Policy and PracticeUnited Nations UniversityDuring the 1990s, nine out of ten of the bloodiest confl icts occurred in Africa. Despite some twenty peacebuilding operations in Africa in the last 25 years there is still a sig-nifi cant lack of cohesive strategy to target key areas in the regeneration of a confl ict-ridden country. An Afrocentric perspective is there-fore a suitable starting point for researching strategies for post-confl ict peacebuilding. This book explores South Africa’s policy im-peratives to integrate development projects and peace missions, involving the military as well as civilian organizations. It intends to fos-ter understanding of the particular processes required to develop a sustainable and co-hesive post-confl ict peacebuilding strategy within the African environment.

Primordial Leadership: Peacebuilding and National Ownership in Timor-LesteUnited Nations UniversityThis publication shows that in post-confl ict Timor-Leste, leadership was key in building sustainable peace. Helping leaders turn re-cent security crises into opportunities to fos-ter democratic governance was primordial. While democratic principles are necessary in the long term, it is not suffi cient for building sustainable peace in a post-confl ict period. Timor-Leste succeeded due to its leaders’ commitment to national interest, identity and unity; the ability to harmonize universal ideals and principles of governance with lo-cal values and customs; the empowerment of others and the capability to transform the mindset and mentality of its people.

United Nations publicationApril 2013 - 3,110

“At the (…) Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012, world leaders pledged to adopt forward-looking macroeconomic policies that promote sustainable development and lead to sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth (…) The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2013 makes it clear that such investments are not only essential but also affordable.”

BAN Ki-moonSecretary-General of the United Nations

Half a decade since the onset of the Great Recession, the Asia-Pacific region continues to anchor the global economy, but its rate of economic growth remains subdued compared to the pre-global financial crisis period. It is also showing signs of strain, as uncertainty and crisis deepen in the United States and the euro zone. More importantly, the Asia-Pacific region’s growth path continues to leave behind hundreds of millions and to put unsustainable pressure on the natural resource base.

The 2013 edition of the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific argues that macroeconomic policies can play a key role not only in supporting the economies of the region in the short term, but also in reorienting the region towards a more inclusive and sustainable pattern of development. By carefully designing short-term support measures, it is possible to sustain growth as well as address long-term structural issues.

As an illustrative example, the Survey 2013 estimates, for a number of Asia-Pacific countries, the public investment needs required to deliver a package of policies to sustain growth and to promote inclusive and sustainable development. The policy package comprises a job guarantee programme, a universal pension scheme, disability benefits, increased public health spending, universal school enrolment and universal access to modern energy.

The Survey finds that most countries can finance such a package without jeopardizing macroeconomic stability, although least developed countries would also require global partnership and development cooperation. The analysis underlines the need to move forward the regional development agenda from a discussion on the future we want to the means of implementation to realize that future.

This report presents the 2010 Revision of the population estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. The 2010 Revision constitutes the twenty second round of the global population esti-mates and projections produced by the Population Division since 1951 and it breaks new ground in the production of population projections. For the first time, projections are carried out up to 2100, instead of 2050 as previously. In order to extend the projection period to 2100, a new method for the projection of fertility was developed. The method used in the 2010 Revision is based on the advances made in projecting fertility since the 2000 Revision, advances that have been combined with a probabilistic approach to yield the future paths of fertility used in producing the medium variant of the 2010 Revi-sion. The full results of the 2010 Revision are presented in two volumes. The first volume provides comprehensive tables displaying key demographic indicators for each develop-ment group, major area, region and country for selected periods or dates within 1950-2100. The second volume contains demographic profiles presenting time series and plots covering the period from 1950 to 2100 for selected indicators for each country with at least 100,000 inhabitants in 2010 as well as for development groups, major areas and regions.
