Abortion, reproductive rights and maternal mortality

After Equality: Inequality trends and policy responses in contemporary Russia

Languages: English, Russian

Keywords

Economic inequality in Russia – skewed income and wealth distribution – increased sharply in the transition from a state socialist system to a capitalist market economy.

01/08/2001

11 pages long

Free access through journal website

Keywords

Case studies demonstrate the breadth and richness in approaches to scaling up and lessons learned from them. A key lesson is that scaling up agroforestry innovations is far more complex than simply transferring information and planting material; it often entails building institutional capacity in the community for promoting and sustaining the innovation and adoption process.

7 pages long

Languages: English

Keywords

Overview

Oxfam believes that poverty, social exclusion and discrimination represent a denial of human rights, preventing people from exercising their full rights (e.g. to housing, adequate health care, education, to an adequate standard of living). In our view, there are also important connections between economic inequality, and inequality based on social divisions such as age, disability, […]
