Sectoral training programs have emerged as a promising driver of economic mobility for people with low incomes. These programs prepare people for quality jobs in specific industries where there's strong employer demand and an opportunity for career advancement. Studies find that sectoral programs can meaningfully improve participants' earnings, yet not all programs have the support they need to apply the best research evidence to improve their services.   In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with three guests: Jessa Valentine, Deputy Director of Learning and Impact at Ascendium Education Group, a collaborator and funder of MDRC's work;  Frieda Molina, Director of the MDRC's Economic Mobility, Housing, and Communities Policy Area; and Kelsey Schaberg, MDRC Research Associate. They discuss exciting initiatives like the Economic Mobility Lab at MDRC and the Sector Training Evidence-Building Project — efforts that aim to understand the most important components of sectoral programs and address some of the challenges these programs face.

Meanwhile, the Irish Exporters Association will meet the Tanaiste Simon Harris at today's Trade Forum. Chief Executive Simon McKeever says a calm response is needed to President Trump's US tariffs...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What do we really know about growth in LMICs? (Part 1: sectoral transformation), published by Karthik Tadepalli on December 3, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. To EAs, "development economics" evokes the image of RCTs on psychotherapy or deworming. That is, after all, the closest interaction between EA and development economists. However, this characterization has prompted some pushback, in the form of the argument that all global health interventions pale in comparison to the Holy Grail: increasing economic growth in poor countries. After all, growth increases basically every measure of wellbeing on a far larger scale than any charity intervention, so it's obviously more important than any micro-intervention. Even a tiny chance of boosting growth in a large developing country will have massive expected value, more than all the GiveWell charities you can fund. The argument is compelling[1] and well-received - so why haven't "growth interventions" gone anywhere? I think the EA understanding of growth is just too abstract to yield really useful interventions that EA organizations could lobby for or implement directly. We need specific interventions to evaluate, and "lobby for general economic liberalization" won't cut it. The good news is that a large and active group of "macro-development" economists have been enhancing our understanding of growth in developing countries. They (mostly) don't run RCTs, but they still have credible research designs that can tell us important things about the causes and constraints of growth. In this series of posts, I want to lay out some stylized facts about growth in developing countries. These are claims which are backed up by the best research on this topic, and which tell us something useful about the causes and constraints of growth in developing countries. My hope is not to pitch any specific interventions, but rather to give you the lay of the land, on which you can build the case for specific interventions. The way I hope for you to read this series is with an entrepreneurial eye. "This summary suggests that X is a key bottleneck to growth; I suspect Y could help solve X at scale. I should look more into Y as a potential intervention." or "This summary says that X process helps with growth; let me brainstorm ways we could accelerate X." As part of that, an important caveat is that I will not cover topics where I believe there's no prospect for an effective intervention. For example, a large body of work emphasizes the importance of good institutions for development; I don't believe that topic will yield any promising interventions, so I won't cover it. Sectoral Transformation In this post, I will start with the fundamental path of growth: sectoral transformation. Every country that has ever gotten rich has had the following transformation: first, most of the population works in agriculture. Then, people start to move from agriculture to manufacturing, coinciding with a large increase in the country's growth rate. Finally, people move out of manufacturing and into services, coinciding with the country's growth slowing down as it matures into a rich economy. This is the process of sectoral transformation, and it is basically a universal truth of development. So it's no surprise that a big focus of macro-development is how to catalyze sectoral transformation in developing countries. 1. Agricultural productivity growth can drive sectoral transformation... or hurt it. Every economy starts out as agrarian, because everyone needs food to survive. Agricultural productivity growth allows economies to produce enough food with fewer people, so that most people can move out of agriculture. This is why the US can produce more food per person than India, even though 2% of the US workforce in agriculture compared to 45% of India's workfor...

Sectoral rotation is usually caused by changes in sentiment – be it optimism or pessimism – from investors regarding the outlook for a sector in the future, usually within the next 6–12 months. If the outlook for a sector is considered to be less promising going forward, it will start to be abandoned and replaced with other sectors which are deemed to have a better outlook.

[...] In an era where costs of services and goods are rising, the amount of profit or money that you have is buying less of those goods and services. That causes inflation. ~Justin  You can't compensate for inflation that you've already suffered. You can only compensate for the inflation that you're going to suffer in the future. ~Augusto  The first thing you need to do when you're in high inflation is to protect your cash flow. If you don't protect your cash flow, you run the risk of disappearing as a business. ~Augusto  People don't look at paper profit—they look at cashflow to put a value on your company; so, if you want to build a valuable company, you have to build a healthy cash flow. ~Justin  The bad thing about inflation is that even when the causes for inflation stop, the prices never go back to where they were. ~Augusto  There are two ways to drive pricing. One is the price that the market will take. The other one is cost-up. ~Augusto

The coal power upsurge in 2021 may raise the concern that China faces more challenges on peaking its national carbon emissions before 2030. However the breakdown of electricity consumption may suggest that the downturn of economic growth, low urbanization and aging population will reduce the power demand in the near future. In addition, the slower infrastructure construction and the electrification of road transport sector may boost higher share of electricity in tertiary sector and residential area. REEI's researchers argue that peaking before 2030 might be not a big issue but achieving carbon neutral goal by the middle of this century could pose challenges.

Equity investors were caught on the wrong side of the markets last week as valuation concerns, coupled with persistent selling by FIIs, kept upside in check on the bourses. The BSE Sensex index and Nifty50 declined about a per cent each during the week to end at 60,822 and 18,115 levels, respectively, last Friday. While analysts remain cautious for the week ahead as well, they say the markets are likely to stabilize with sectoral rotation taking place. Markets saw profit booking post a sharp run-up ahead of results season Broader markets may stabilize this week Sectoral rotation to continue For Nischal Maheshwari, who is CEO – Institutional Equities at Centrum Broking, last week's correction had valuation and tapering concerns at play. Markets are preparing for Fed tapering FII selling is creating pressure. Going ahead, volatility may remain high due to corporate earnings and primary market action. The key driver for today's session will be Q2 results of Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank, which were  released post market hours on Friday and Saturday, respectively. During the rest of the week, investors' reaction to September quarter earnings of L&T, Maruti Suzuki, ITC, Axis Bank, Cipla, Adani Ports, and Titan will sway the indices. That apart, the initial public offer of India's biggest cosmetics etailer Nykaa may also catch investor fancy this week. FSN E-Commerce Ventures, the parent company of Nykaa, will launch its IPO on Thursday, October 28, to raise over Rs 5,355 crore at a price band of Rs 1,085-1,125 per share. Separately, Fino Payments Bank is also expected to launch its Rs 1,300-crore IPO on Friday, October. But will these primary share sales affect secondary market inflows?  Primary market issues may divert flows. There could be lesser action in secondary market. That said, analysts believe issue pricing and investor appetite will play an important role in trading activity. A lot will depend on IPOs' valuation. There's a lot of enthusiasm in the primary market. Pricing should be such that nothing is left on the table for investors As per tech charts, the 50-share index is likely to trade within a range of 17,750 and 18,375, while the Sensex may trade within a broad range of 59,700 and 61,900.

The announcement of a month-long night curfew in the national capital city of Delhi capped gains on Dalal Street on Tuesday as investors decided to book profit, erasing gains clocked earlier in the day. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex had risen over 400 points while the broader Nifty50 index had surged 140 points in the early deals after a weak trading session on Monday. However, the indices pared gained and ended mildly higher soon after the Delhi government imposed night curfew in the city till April 30 with immediate effect in the wake of rising coronavirus cases. The city joins the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan to impose restrictions. Individually, the benchmark Sensex index settled at 49,201 levels, up 42 points, or 0.09 per cent, and the Nifty closed at 14,683 levels, up 46 points or 0.3 per cent. In the intra-day deals, the indices had hit a low of 48,936 and 14,574, respectively. Up to 2 per cent losses in heavyweight like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Power Grid, SBI, UltraTech Cement, Maruti Suzuki, and IndusInd Bank put a lid on gains even as stocks such as Asian Paints, HDFC, HUL, TCS, Sun Pharma, Infosys, and Bharti Airtel tried to support the markets. The broader markets, however, braved the volatility and settled higher. The S&P BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices added 1 per cent and 0.8 per cent, respectively by close. Sectoral trends depicted that the market mood was defensive as the Nifty Pharma (up 2 per cent), FMCG (1 per cent), and Metal (1.5 per cent) indices remained top gainers on the NSE today while the Nifty IT index was up 0.25 per cent. The Nifty Bank and Private Bank indices, meanwhile, skidded around 0.4 per cent each ahead of the RBI's monetary policy committee's outcome due tomorrow. Buzzing stocks >> Shares of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone surged 15 per cent to Rs 852, also its fresh record high, on the BSE in the intra-day trade today after the company reported a 41 per cent year on year jump in cargo volume business at 26 million metric tonnes in March. The stock of the Adani Group company surpassed its previous high of Rs 768.40, touched on March 8. It handled cargo volume of 73 MMT in Q4FY21 while for the full financial year, the company handled cargo volume of 247 MMT, registering a growth of 11 per cent on a YoY basis. >> Shares of Panacea Biotec were locked in the upper circuit of 20 per cent at Rs 220.85 on the BSE in today's session after the company and the Russian Direct Investment Fund agreed to produce 100 million doses of Sputnik V vaccine in India per year. >> On the downside, shares of Heranba Industries slipped 3 per cent to hit a new low of Rs 603 on the BSE in intra-day trade, falling below its issue price of Rs 627 per share. The stock of the agrochemicals company was trading at its lowest level since its listing on March 5. It has now corrected 36 per cent from its high of Rs 944.95 touched on its debut day. Global markets   World stocks hit record highs on Tuesday, supported by strong economic data from China and the United States, while currency and bond markets paused for breath after a month of rapid gains in the dollar and Treasury yields. MSCI All Country World Index hit an all-time high as did the European stocks. The pan-European STOXX 600 index hit a record high, up 0.8 per cent while the German DAX rose 1.1 per cent, France's CAC 40 was up 0.6 per cent, and the UK's FTSE 100 jumped 1.2 per cent. Profit-taking, meanwhile, pushed Japan’s Nikkei down 1 per cent and dragged on the Shanghai Composite. In the commodities segment, however, analysts believe that the recent resurgence in Covid-19 cases and sporadic lockdowns across the globe might do little to add the lost sheen in gold prices due to the aggressive vaccination programme and the bleak possibility of a prolonged lockdown in emerging market countries like India. That said, on a long-term basis, they are quite bul

Certain kinds of NGO-led development projects attract more funding and media attention than others. Child sponsorship or microcredit schemes, for instance, tend to be 'hotter' than rehabilitation projects. To what extent does this knowledge affect the fundraising agenda of NGOs? What causes NGOs to 'cluster' around specific causes in favour of others? And what can be done to diversify NGO (and donor) attention? In this VoxDevTalk, Thierry Verdier examines the motivations of NGO competition and its impact on the development sector, of which NGOs are a significant part. Competition for funding routinely induces NGOs to systemically undercover 'Cinderella projects', which remain chronically underfunded. Is the solution to this problem better coordination on fundraising activities between NGOs or is it government intervention? In a new research paper, he and his co-authors Gani Aldashev and Marco Marini look at aid data to analyse NGO clustering around certain sectors and geographic regions and propose possible mechanisms that influence such behaviour.

Equity markets ended a volatile trading session in the positive territory on Monday supported by buying in blue-chip stocks such as HDFC, Reliance Industries, Maruti Suzuki India, and Axis Bank. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex settled 42.28 points, or 0.1 per cent, higher at 40,487.43 level. Axis Bank (up over 2 per cent) topped the 30-share index as the top gainer, while TCS (down 3 per cent) was the top loser. On the NSE, the Nifty50 settled at 11,937.50-mark, up 16 points, or 0.13 per cent.  Sectoral indices ended the session mixed on the NSE. At close, Nifty Realty Index closed with a cut of 1.15 per cent, while Nifty Auto index closed 0.73 per cent higher. In the broader market, the S&P mid-cap index settled 0.09 per cent higher at 14,680.92, while the S&P NSE small-cap index slipped 0.48 per cent to 13,275.41. BUZZING STOCKS Shares of Century Textiles & Industries hit a fresh 52-week high of Rs 515, up 5 per cent on Monday, having surged 9 per cent in the past two trading days, in an otherwise range-bound market on the BSE on expectation of a healthy financial performance going forward.  Shares of automobile companies gained on Monday after Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) increased its production in November. At 10:30 AM, the S&P BSE Auto index climbed 1.5 per cent as compared to a flat benchmark S&P BSE Sensex and was the top gainer among BSE sectoral indices.  Shares of Dish TV India surged 15 per cent to Rs 14.44 on the BSE on Monday after the company said the default in debt repayment was on account of a temporary cash shortfall due to peak payment commitments to suppliers. The company issued the statement after rating agency Care Ratings downgraded the rating of the company's short-term bank facilities to ‘CARE D’ from ‘CARE A4+’ GLOBAL CUES Asian stocks edged up on Monday, catching some of Wall Street’s momentum after surprisingly strong US.jobs data, although regional gains were capped by concerns about China’s economic slowdown due to the prolonged Sino-US trade war. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei added 0.33 per cent while MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.27 per cent. China’s Shanghai Composite stood flat and so did Hong Kong’s Hang Seng. European shares are expected to give up some of the gains made on Friday after the U.S. payrolls data, with pan-European Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.14 per cent, German DAX futures slipping 0.04 per cent and FTSE futures losing 0.35 per cent.

 REVERBERATIONS OF INEQUALITY  Interviewer: MATTHEW BERKMAN. Union membership in the United States has experienced a long decline. From a peak of over 30 percent of the labor force in 1945, it now hovers around 11 percent. Legal scholar BRISHEN ROGERS (Temple University and a Visiting Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, Georgetown Law) argues that, more than the ineluctable forces of automation and globalization, it is this decline that is responsible for the high levels of income inequality in the U.S. While these processes are intertwined, Rogers uses a comparative approach to tease them apart. To redress inequality, he advocates that we adopt systems of sectoral bargaining that have succeeded in other countries to keep more income in the hands of working people. His discussion with Matthew Berkman, Visiting Assistant Professor at Oberlin College, followed his presentation at the Mitchell Center’s REVERBERATIONS OF INEQUALITY Opening Conference.

This 2017 interview features a younger Steve Grumbine speaking with a younger-still Brad Voracek. Brad was in the first graduating class of the masters’ program at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College. His real-world experience as a teacher and mentor in Arizona is vastly different from Steve’s, a father of nine in Pennsylvania, who has had to cope with the medical challenges and expenses faced by his late father -- and now, his own.   It’s refreshing to hear a young person explain how MMT makes sense based on his own observations and point of view. Rather than engaging in arguments about politics and economics, Brad tells us that he approaches each issue with simple questions: what is our purpose/what do we want? In his view, rather than battling over a basic income, let’s determine how to meet people’s basic needs -- after all, we already know how to pay for it.   Steve and Brad take the discussion of a job guarantee away from the usual talk of a transitional buffer stock of labor and delve instead into a broader range of human values. In redefining work we can find a kind of fulfillment that we don’t always associate with minimum wage jobs. Whether we find that fulfillment in creative fields, caring for the vulnerable, or public service in general, the possibilities are endless.   Brad is less riled by anti-MMT cynics than some of our older colleagues. This may be because of his early exposure to the concept of sectoral balances. It boils down to basic double-entry accounting; a debit on one side is a credit on the other. It’s always a two-sided transaction between humans. A government deficit means a private surplus.   Join us for this intergenerational conversation. You might see something in a whole new light!   Brad Voracek got his master’s degree at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College. In 2017 he worked in AmeriCorps VISTA, observing how direct job creation programs work in practice. Now he is a high school teacher at Phoenix Coding Academy and lead mentor for the robotics team. @bradvoracek on Twitter

Fighting for the working class.  A strategy to rebuild the power of labor unions.  Why Democrats need to take a stand for blue collar voters in 2020. Plus, the political ambitions of Michael Pence.   Why the time has come for sectoral bargaining. Bill Press on how Democrats can win back working class voters. And a conversation with Tom LoBianco on his new biography of Vice President Mike Pence.   Bill Press One of the most pivotal issues for Democrats heading into 2020 is how to win back working class voters. For Bill Press, there’s a clear path that begins with economic justice and refuses to accept making a choice between race and class.   David Madland Against the backdrop of declining membership, a different way of organizing workers is gaining support. Sectoral bargaining not only has the potential to rebuild union membership.  David Madland says it can lead to better working conditions for all workers and reduce economic inequality.   Tom LoBianco Why Donald Trump and Michael Pence are joined at the hip.  Bill Press talks with Tom LoBianco, author of Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House, his new biography of the enigmatic Vice President.    If you'd like to hear the entire interview, visit BillPressshow.com.   Jim Hightower The Gloppy mess of merger mania.

Michelle Nelson in an interview with Ross Upshur discusses the importance of intra- and inter-sectoral collaboration in healthcare and explains how the voluntary sector could be engaged to support improved patient and family experiences and the outcomes. In a recent interview with Ross Upshur, Michelle Nelson, a Research Scientist at Research Collaboratory, Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, explained about her research, the importance of intra- and inter-sectoral collaboration in health care, engagement of the voluntary sector to support improved patient and family experience and the patient outcomes. Michelle has been actively pursuing development of a complexity and stroke rehabilitation research network. Her tireless efforts recently led to holding a meeting attended by 43 researchers, policy-makers and clinicians. The meeting initially generated 120 potential research questions, from which 16 high-priority questions were identified focusing on complexity characteristics including multimorbidity, social determinants, patient characteristics, social support and system factors (1). In this recent work, Michelle and her colleagues put the emphasis on expanding the kind of research that focuses beyond the single disease approach, and try to help understand complex patients and their care needs. This approach, as they put it, will not only help stakeholders to better understand and provide integrated stroke rehab care for complex patients but it will also help improve patient outcomes that would ultimately lead to a more developed and advanced health care system. Dr. Nelson is a Research Scientist within the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto, Canada. She also holds academic appointments in the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto, and Ryerson University in the School of Nursing. Her research is concentrated on patient complexity (the intersection of health conditions and social determinants); specifically examining issues related to the management of patient complexity, health profession education/collaborative practice, and community reintegration. From 2005 – 2009 she was the Research Director for a Health Canada funded Interprofessional Education program within geriatrics. She was the Principal Investigator for two Canadian Institutes of Health Research grants focused on patient complexity and rehabilitation. As a result, she convened national rehabilitation experts and stakeholders to develop a multidisciplinary, multisectoral research agenda specific to patient complexity in stroke rehabilitation. In 2014, Dr. Nelson received a $600,000 grant to examine how the voluntary sector could be engaged to support improved patient/family experiences and outcomes. So far, she has published over 40 articles and reports specific to issues of complexity, clinical practice, rehabilitation, collaboration, and the role of the voluntary sector in meeting patient needs. She is a sought after committee member for rehabilitation strategic planning, clinical guideline development and knowledge translation. In 2017, she was a visiting professor at the Queensland University of Technology, engaging colleagues in collaborative work related to patient complexity. Michelle was elected to the Board of Governors for the World Stroke Organization and nominated to the Executive in August 2018.

Unintended consequences from climate interventions are often the result of not understanding decision-making at a granular enough level, says Ed Carr this week’s “Backdraft” episode. How people construct their identities and their perception of how the world works can make or break an intervention, says Carr, professor and director of the Humanitarian Response and Development Lab at Clark University and former AAAS policy fellow at the U.S. Agency for International Development. “That sounds all fuzzy and soft, but if you don’t have that information you really can’t understand how people are making decisions, and if you don’t understand how they’re making decisions…and who gets to make the decisions…you have no idea how the interventions are interacting with that.” For example, in research conducted for USAID in southern Mali, Carr found that climate-smart agriculture projects could have unforeseen effects on gender dynamics. Farming staple grains is largely considered the responsibility of men in the region, so a project focused on increasing yields among these crops could widen income gaps between men and women. Conversely, if the project took steps to promote production by female farmers, it could undermine men’s status and cultural identities in a significant way, potentially leading to increased rates of domestic violence. Carr stressed the importance of ethnographic research to help policymakers understand differences in context from place to place that could affect results. How projects are monitored and evaluated, or “M&E” in development parlance, can also hide inadvertent consequences. “What gets measured gets managed,” says Carr. If a climate project has a significant impact that was unintended, it may not get recorded or addressed because the M&E plan was written to look for specific results only. The opportunity to build on or mitigate unexpected results – good or bad – is lost in such an inflexible system. These challenges are not unique to climate responses, but symptoms of how development is carried out generally, Carr says, often in a targeted manner, sector by sector. “Sectoral development focuses on particular issues as if they’re not parts of complex systems, and as a result it narrows our monitoring and evaluation, it narrows our understanding of the world, it narrows our understanding of the problems we’re addressing.” Carr stresses the need for more flexibility generally. “We need innovative contract and funding mechanisms for work that allow people to pivot really hard when we learn something new or when a project starts doing something bad or good that we didn’t expect.” He admits there are challenges to scaling up the kind of household and sub-household research he and colleagues have been doing in West Africa, but says they are working on it. It might be possible to bring lessons learned from their experience to other ethnically and “agro-ecologically” similar communities, he says. “We, the qualitative research community [and] interpretive social science community, have not worked as much to think about generalization and how to get to generalization as we could have, so I’m actually excited to try and do that.” The “Backdraft” podcast series is hosted and co-produced by Lauren Herzer Risi and Sean Peoples, a freelance multimedia producer based in Washington, DC.

The vocation of public service remains a cornerstone of Australian democracy. Yet its traditional virtues are under pressure. Too often exciting innovations have remained at the periphery, failing to deliver on their promise. New approaches to the designing, commissioning and funding of government services have yet to transform the centre of public administration. Bureaucratic structures, regulatory compliance systems and a culture of risk aversion have narrowed the manner in which public accountability and stewardship have been perceived. Yet, with political authority, governance can become more participatory and inclusive. Businesses, social enterprises and research institutions can partner with government agencies to become co-producers of public benefit. Sectoral boundaries can become porous and relationships collaborative. A new public service can emerge, based upon principles of flexibility, experimentation, facilitative leadership and organisational agility. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Professor Peter Shergold AC is Chancellor of Western Sydney University. He has had a distinguished career in the Australian Public Service. Peter headed a range of Commonwealth agencies and was Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet for five years from 2003. He now has a portfolio career serving on the Boards of AMP, Corrs Chambers Westgarth and QuintessenceLabs. He chairs Opal Aged Care. He remains active in public administration, having been appointed as the Coordinator General of Refugee Resettlement in NSW.
