- 'In November 2013, the World Economic Forum released its ‘Outlook on the Global Agenda 2014’, in which it ranked widening income disparities as the second greatest worldwide risk in the coming 12 to 18 months. Based on those surveyed, inequality is ‘impacting social stability within countries and threatening security on a global scale.’ Oxfam shares its analysis, and wants to see the 2014 World Economic Forum make the commitments needed to counter the growing tide of inequality.'

- Description
- 'Authors seeks to address some of the issues with regard to gender equality, equity and poverty in education in post-conflict countries. The chapters in this book are a product of a five year collaborative North-South-South .project between Norway, South Africa and Sudan. Accordingly, the book is an attempt to understand the key issues related to gender and education as part of the larger research project entitled Gender Equality, Education and Poverty (GEEP), funded by the Norwegian Programme for Development, Research and Education (NUFU). The project encompasses critical questions surrounding gender equality,equity, and education within a context of poverty in post-conflict South Africa and Sudan. The understanding is that the social production of gender is .inseparable from that of race, sexuality, class, nationality, ability and other categories of difference. The project places feminist concerns within a transnational context, while respecting the need for geographic and historical .specificity. While it is important to understand that these two countries represent each end of the spectrum in terms of development on the African continent, the GEEP project also believes that gender equality in education is a challenging issue in both countries and as such our focus is on both the similarities and differences in these two contexts.'

- Description
- 'This report shows that routes into and out of poverty or social exclusion differ for women and men. Due to existing gender inequalities in public and private life, women are continually at a higher risk of poverty across the EU. Gender roles, stereotypes and structural inequalities weaken women’s opportunities in the labour market and devalue their work. These obstacles mean that women, especially lone mothers, struggle between work and private life much more than men. Almost every second lone mother across the EU is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. In general, women’s economic independence shrinks with the arrival of each child. This is not only harming societies, families or mothers, but there is also a high risk that children will grow up in poverty and have poorer chances for education and success in their own future life.'

- Description
- 'At the beginning of the new millennium, world leaders gathered at the United Nations to shape a broad vision to .fight poverty in its many dimensions. That vision, which was translated into eight Millennium Development Goals .(MDGs), has remained the overarching development framework for the world for the past 15 years. Thanks to concerted global, regional, national and local efforts, the MDGs have saved the lives of millions and improved conditions for many more. The data and analysis presented in this report prove that, with targeted interventions, sound strategies, adequate resources and political will, even the poorest countries can make dramatic and unprecedented progress. The report also acknowledges uneven achievements and shortfalls in many areas.'
