UNFPA - State of World Population 2009

2009

How do population dynamics affect greenhouse gases and climate change? Will urbanization and an ageing population help or hinder efforts to adapt to a warming world? And could better reproductive health care and improved relations between women and men make a difference in the fight against climate change? Find the answers in the State of World Population 2009.

The whole world has been talking about carbon credits, carbon trading and emissions targets. But not enough has been said about the people whose activities contribute to those emissions or about those who will be most affected by climate change, especially women.

The climate-change debate needs to be reframed, putting people at the centre. Unless climate policies take people into account, they will fail to mitigate climate change or to shield vulnerable populations from the potentially disastrous impacts. 

Corruption perception and the role of women in anti-corruption plans

2007

Is corruption a growing phenomenon?

66 % of the French believe corruption is widespread in their country (among which 53 % consider it to be rather widespread), this figure increases when we question Germans (74 %), Americans (82 %) or Italians (93 %).

In most cases (60 to 70 %), people consider that if there were more women holding posts with responsibility, there would be less corruption.

 

What are the drivers of the corruption?

Power first and foremost? Money?  Or power and money equally?

Have corruption perceptions evolved or become more subtle?

How do men or women position themselves in regards to corruption?

 

Are we witnessing the appearance of perception differences according to gender regarding corruption responsibility?

Who are the corrupters? Why are women more difficult to corrupt?

Do women perceive themselves as "weapons" against corruption?

These are some of the many questions investigated by Ricol, Lasteyrie & Associés within the framework of its partnership with The Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society, this year.

The main results of the quantitative study driven by the CSA in France, in Germany, in Italy and in the United States will be commented by French and foreign personalities from different backgrounds: politicians (men and women), writers, sociologists, psychoanalysts, advisors…
