| Descripción: | The Annual World Bank Conference on
Development Economics is a forum for discussion, and debate
of important policy issues facing developing countries. This
report for 2001-2002 focuses on two main themes, based on
papers presented, and discussions that followed: 1)
globalization and inequality, drawing on historical trends,
through the human capital nexus, and the role of foreign
trade and investment, to the geographic and international
inequalities of globalization, and how the impact of
technological change affected the developing world; and, 2)
health and development, focused on the role of
nongovernmental organizations in the provision of health
care, with a special look at the patent policy proposal for
global diseases. Health, income, and economic development
are emphasized, so as to highlight the world inequality, and
the growing concerns on the rising longevity. |
