In the first quarter of 2018, the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 2%, a slower pace than previously thought, but growth is expected to rebound in the current quarter. Growth was held back by the slowdown in consumer spending, which grew only 0.9% in the first quarter, after a 4% growth in the fourth quarter of last year. U.S. employers added 1,287,000 jobs during the first half of 2018. Unemployment rate was at 4% at the end of June. Compared with its pace before the 2008 recession, productivity growth is disappointingly slow. On a year-ago basis, unit labor costs were up 1.1% in th…
The lack of income from a contributory pension system in more than half of all men, and above all in women, aged 60 or over in Latin America, is the main factor for remaining active in the labor market, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) sustain in a new joint publication released today.
In edition No. 18 of the Employment Situation in Latin America and the Caribbean (May 2018), both United Nations organizations stress that according to their projections, the proportion of people aged 60 or older in the workf…

Three out of four Latin Americans today show little or no confidence in their national governments. Around 80% think corruption is widespread. These levels are both up from 55% and 67% respectively in 2010. Mistrust is rising as in most regions of the world and risks deepening the disconnect between people and public institutions, harming social cohesion and weakening the social contract. Reconnecting public institutions with citizens by better responding to their demands is thus critical for strengthening growth and sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and for the …
Tres de cada cuatro ciudadanos de América Latina tienen poca o ninguna confianza en sus gobiernos. Y alrededor de un 80% creen que la corrupción está extendida en las instituciones públicas. Estas cifras se han deteriorado desde niveles del 55% y 67% en 2010, respectivamente.

Perspectivas Económicas de América Latina 2018 “Repensando las Instituciones para el Desarrollo” plantea que es necesario reconectar a las i…
