In the current world context, the countries of the Caribbean must focus on closing the structural gaps they still have, particularly with regard to gender equality, financial and fiscal sustainability (due to their high debt level), and mitigating the effects of climate change, in order to meet the commitments adopted under the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and its 17 Goals (SDGs). This was pointed out by Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary for the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) during an event held in New York.
The international senior official was the k…
En el actual contexto mundial, los países del Caribe deben enfocarse en cerrar las brechas estructurales que aún mantienen, en especial sobre la igualdad de género, la sostenibilidad financiera y fiscal (debido a su alta deuda), y la mitigación de los efectos del cambio climático, con el fin de cumplir los compromisos adoptados en la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y sus 17 objetivos (ODS).

Secondly, in light of the recent incremental changes in the politica…
En 2014, la riqueza total de México ascendió a 76,7 billones de pesos. El 37% de ella estaba en manos de los hogares; el gobierno administraba el 23%, las empresas privadas el 19%, las empresas públicas el 9%, el resto del mundo poseía el 7% y las instituciones financieras el 5%. En promedio cada hogar tendría, si hubiera una distribución equitativa, 900.000 pesos en activos físicos y financieros, monto que sería más que suficiente para que las personas tuvieran una vida holgada. Lamentablemente la repartición es muy desigual. Dos terceras partes de la riqueza están en manos del 10% más rico d…
