The World Bank Year in Review: 2017 in 12 Charts

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Worldbank.org

How to sum up 2017? The global economy improved but there were plenty of unsettling and upsetting events and trends. Catastrophic storms and flooding wrecked homes and livelihoods from South Asia to the Caribbean. Education quality in many countries fell short even as much of the world raced into the digital age. Yet extreme poverty continues to decline. Innovation and technology are enhancing the quality of life. And human capital is now the biggest driver of wealth in the world today. Here’s what 2017 looked like in 12 charts.

1. Millions faced famine and required emergency aid

2. The world emitted historic amounts of carbon

3. Natural disasters dominated the news

4. Two-thirds of global wealth is human capital

5. There’s a crisis in learning

6. Nutrition affects learning, and millions of children remain stunted

7. Child marriage carried high personal and economic costs

8. The world’s population is young. And jobless.

9. Natural capital and biodiversity are undervalued

10. Globally, about half of elections are considered free and fair

11. Starting a business is getting easier

12. The power of renewables

The ceiling of Rai Tabusoro’s home was ripped away by catastrophic winds. The 43-year-old was able to save the life of his elderly mother by placing her in a concrete bathroom, as well as a pregnant woman who he carried to shelter.

In the same Fijian village, Asmita Kamal, a 24-year-old teacher, found shelter under a table with her grandmother while her family hid under a bed as Cyclone Winston blasted through their village. Despite their best efforts to secure their house, strong winds swept away just about everything. Tiếp tục đọc “Towards a Climate-Smart World: 12 Ways for a Resilient Future” →

World Bank report on Vietnam’s pork safety sparks concern, doubt

Consumers are seen at a pork stall at a small market in Ho Chi Minh City.
A recent World Bank report claiming that up to 40 percent of pork in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is potentially contaminated with the salmonella bacteria has raised concern and doubt as to whether the ratio is too high compared with Vietnam’s own statistics.

The World Bank data may not truly reflect the meat safety situation in those cities, according to local insiders.

The report, released on March 27, points out several alarming issues in Vietnam’s food safety risk management, such as the fact that 80 percent of pork is sold in wet markets, and 76 percent of meat is slaughtered in small and dirty facilities.

The World Bank also underlined that the most prevalent microbiological hazard in pork in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is salmonella, with the bacteria found in 30 percent of the pork samples taken at slaughterhouses, and 40 percent of the pork found on sale at local markets.
