Why it’s much easier for India to reach Mars rather than tackle its toilet issue

A majority of Indian households have access to mobile phones despite being unable to access other infrastructure. On a more systemic level, economists have pointed out that commercial and technical accessibility and the acceptance of consumers to the invention are the primary factors that drive its spread. Both are evidently a problem in India. For businesses, it makes sense for the company to offer mobile phones that come in a range of price ranges that are quality as the network infrastructure is built. The demand for this technology is guaranteed. However, they aren't looking to sell low-cost toilets to those in need since the...

US cities are more unequal than Mexico, in which both poor and rich live together

Whatever your location, it is difficult to measure inequality because of the rate and degree of change across different areas in the metropolis. Yes, some wealthy areas and neighborhoods are not: households with low and high incomes divide themselves into cities according to preferences (for local public goods as well as the composition of their neighborhoods) and their needs (according to the location of their jobs, budget and prices for housing). However, not every neighborhood is populated by households who earn the same amount. The distribution of income across spaces is typically "imperfect," meaning that wealthy and low-income families may...

The most disadvantaged can improve their lives. If you want to know more, inquire with Ecuador

In Ecuador, the BDH can be described as a money payment provided to families who are extremely poor every month, so the children attend school regularly and medical clinics. Since 2003, every family that is a beneficiary has been receiving $15 each month, regardless of size (Ecuador utilizes its version of the US dollar). The amount increased to US$30 by 2007, then US$35 in 2009, and then US$50 in 2013. In contrast to similar programs elsewhere in Latin American countries, including Mexico's Prospera and Brazil's Bolsa Familia, where supervision of student attendance and compliance with nutrition is very rigorous, In Ecuador, the conditionality...

Global Compact on Migration should be focused on maximizing its benefits for everyone

A deal to tackle refugees and migrants across the globe that the UN General Assembly adopted adopted in September was widely hailed by the United Nations as nothing short of a miraculous event. It is, however, threatened sometimes by today's shifting and ever-changing political environment. In the year, UN members are conducting discussions on the elements of international cooperation as well as governance of migration as part of the creation of the Global Compact for Secure, Regular, and Orderly Migration. Between May 22 and June 23, the delegates will be focusing their attention on the current state of information and best practices...

A world that longs for security is divided by lines of fearful liquids

The Conversation has a new series called Class in Australia to explore, debate, and highlight its various manifestations. In this article, Camilla Nelson looks at how movies, television, popular culture, and the media shape the perceptions of a threatening class. You only need to switch on the television at primetime to see who the "villains" are: asylum seekers who "throw children overboard", Aboriginal people who live in remote communities, petrol sniffers, Lebanese crime gangs and bikies, intergenerational welfare recipients and the long-term unemployed. The divide between classes has changed. No one is "working class" in the old sense anymore - you're not. It's personal. Goodbye, Jolly Swagman....

The need to support women who are informal workers is essential

   "Informal Economy" is an umbrella concept that includes wage workers (domestic workers, security guards, taxi drivers) and the unemployed (street merchants, trash recycling, educational services, garden mechanics). For those who didn't lose their jobs entirely, The data suggests that some informal workers weren't working in April. Around 31% of those working in casual jobs claimed to have been evicted from their position in comparison to 26% of people in formal work. Women who work in formal and informal work had a higher chance of being denied access than male employees. Calculations of the authors based on the NIDS-CRAM Wave...

What can you do to save money this holiday season

Think about it: whether bringing people up-to-date with the latest technologies is a step too far. Are they truly in want or need this radically new present? Incremental innovations What mom or dad really requires is incremental innovations. A camera that is a bit better or a television with a larger screen, not a brand new 3D 4K, HD screen with built-in digital assistants to respond to each demand. Sometimes, a present that is a small change that builds on what's already in place is what the person you love will most appreciate. There's evidence that smaller differences are more often needed and...

Of water used in the household goes to waste. We must get it back

The greatest barrier to the widespread use of recycled wastewater is community acceptance. Research from around the world found the best way to overcome reluctance is to embrace education and rigorously ensure the highest quality water treatment. In 2006, Toowoomba residents voted against the introduction of recycled water despite the severe drought that was ravaging the region. Allan Henderson/Flickr, CC BY Why would you not want to utilize stormwater? A lot of people are content to utilize recycled stormwater but are hesitant to cook, drink, or wash dishes using recycled household waste. However, there are a number of technical, financial, and supply...

Here’s how maths can make them more valuable

Humans have made use of the power of microbes for a long time, such as using yeast to create bread as well as yogurt, beer, and wine by fermentation. Living organisms are beneficial to us as they can perform chemical reactions in their daily lives. Glycolate-excreting bacteria from thermal hot springs in Yellowstone. Microbe Wiki Today, we are able to use microbes to make a wide range of chemical compounds, including biofuels (including methane and ethanol), as well as medical products (such in the form of antibiotics). Additionally, we can make use of microorganisms to purify the water we use by removing organic...

African technological innovators transform the value of plastic waste, But there are still holes.

A large proportion of the waste material that is disposed of on African beaches originates from industrialized, advanced countries. In 2010, the estimate was that around 4.4 million tonnes of plastic waste that was not properly managed was found in seas and oceans in the oceans of Africa each year. A 2022 forecast puts this figure at around 17 million tons. An increasing number of innovators and NGOs across the globe are taking on the challenge. They are working on innovative digital strategies to cut down on the amount of waste generated by plastic, as well as encouraging reuse and recycling of plastics. A growing number of African...
