This is especially true for low-income countries that face multiple challenges, such as informal employment, inequality in earnings, and lack of opportunities, among others, when it comes to creating jobs. Tackling these multiple challenges requires a multipronged approach, including engaging with the private sector. Since 2014, the World Bank's fund for the poorest countries, the International Development Association (IDA) has made jobs a particular focus in its projects.   In this episode, host, Birgit Hansl, Manager in the economic management and country program unit in IEG, speaks with Oscar Calvo-Gonzalez, Regional Director of the World Bank's Economic Policy Global Practice in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, and Rashmi Shankar, Lead Economist in IEG.

Financial literacy has been found to be a strong predictor of future financial outcomes. A better understanding of fundamental financial concepts tends to lead to better decision making. Yet, the grim reality is that financial literacy among the global population is quite low. Past studies estimated that only about a third of the world are considered financially literate. But what can we learn from the latest academic research on this topic? What has the academic community found that might help to drive progress? And how do the observations and findings from real-world financial advice compare? On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, host Hal Hershfield speaks with renowned financial literacy expert and Stanford University Professor Annamaria Lusardi along with Tom Cock, Partner and Regional Director at financial advisory firm Apella Wealth, to shed light on the current state of financial literacy, why it bears our attention today more than you may realize, and what these two perspectives can offer as a guide to better outcomes for ourselves, our clients, and society at large.

We are delighted to welcome Fr. Alberto Ares, SJ, who is the regional director of Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) in Europe. JRS is an international Catholic organization with a mission to accompany, serve, and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. With the US perspective on immigration so tied to the southern border, Alberto offers us a different perspective by sharing the dynamics across Europe, which can vary greatly by country. He reflects on the uncertainties of the moment as development aid is being drastically cut by the United States. He shares how a lifetime of ministry accompanying poor and marginalized communities has inspired his faith and gives him hope.Brian and Joe also share stories of the ways the migrants they accompany have evangelized by sharing the Good News of the Gospel. Joe shares the story of Milagro, a three-year-old girl from Honduras, who would fold her hands and gently bow her head as he prayed over her. After the prayer, she would raise her head up as a big smile spread across her face, showing the joy that comes from our faith. It is a joy reflected in Milagros, and in countless other children who have regularly participated in our Masses. Brian reflects on the catechism classes the Jesuits started offering in one of the shelters, since people are stuck on the border that is completely closed to vulnerable migrants. Catalina, the mother of four kids who are now preparing for baptism, sat on the edge of her seat during the first catechism class. She made the point clear to Brian, “I am here to learn!” May we all have such an enthusiasm for learning more about our faith and growing closer to God.

Welcome to Part One of our deep dive into Disability Insurance (DI) on the ShiftShapers Podcast! In this two-part series. In this episode, host David Saltzman converses with Don Schamay, Regional Director of Executive Benefits at The Principal, about the often-overlooked importance of disability insurance in a comprehensive health insurance strategy. Don shares his journey from military service to a seasoned expert in disability insurance, emphasizing the critical need for both individual and group disability insurance to protect one's income. The discussion covers the prevalence of disability, how group and individual disability insurances differ, and the significance of educating clients about income protection and insurance options.Key Takeaways from the Episode:✅ Importance of DI – Disability insurance (DI) is an often-overlooked but crucial component of a comprehensive health insurance strategy. It provides financial protection if one is unable to work due to illness or injury.✅ Group vs. Individual DI – Group disability insurance often covers basic salary and is a cost-effective, foundational benefit for businesses. Individual DI can supplement group coverage by filling in gaps and covering additional forms of income.✅ Coverage and Income Protection – Properly structured DI ensures that individuals have a safety net that covers up to 80% of their income, considering both salary and other compensations like bonuses and K1 distributions.✅ Market Trends – The DI market has become more competitive and robust, improving the quality and affordability of coverage. Newer carriers have entered the marketplace, stabilizing and enhancing the options available.✅ Advisor's Role – Advisors must educate clients on the significance of DI, ensuring that they understand the risks and the options for mitigating them. This includes both group and individual solutions tailored to the client's specific needs.Episode Timestamps:⏳ 00:00 Introduction to Disability Insurance
