The MDG Gap Task Force Report 2009

Strengthening the Global Partnership for Development in a Time of Crisis Further progress has been made towards fulfilling the promises embodied in the Millennium Development Goal 8 (MDG 8). However, the Global Partnership for Development has suffered important setbacks, most of which have arisen from the current state of the world economy which is experiencing its severest downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Important gaps remain in delivering on the global commitments in the areas of aid, trade, debt relief, and access to new technologies and to affordable essential medicines.

World Economic and Social Survey 2009

World Economic and Social Survey 2007

Development in an Ageing World The World Economic and Social Survey 2007 analyses the implications of ageing for social and economic development around the world. The ageing of the population offers both challenges and opportunities. Among the most pressing issues is the prospect of a smaller labour force having to support and increasingly larger older population. Paralleling increased longevity, changes in intergenerational relationships may affect the provision of care and income security for older persons particularly in developing countries where family transfers play a major role. Thus, societies must also ensure seeing to the particular needs of older populations in terms of the… World Economic and Social Survey 2007
