A United Nations report says the world’s poorest countries should re-examine their economic policies. PLAY
It says these countries are failing to create jobs for their citizens. PLAY
The report says the policies will not reduce poverty because so few jobs are being created. PLAY
And it warns of social unrest and growing numbers of immigrants if the situation does not improve. PLAY
Taffere Tesfachew is with the UN Conference on Trade and Development. He says a new way of thinking is needed. PLAY
He says economic growth needs to create jobs. PLAY
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund have called for economic stability and liberalization policies in poor and undeveloped countries. PLAY
But such policies have failed to create many jobs, even during the economic expansion from 2002 to 2008. PLAY
During that period, the economies of many least developed countries grew 8% or more each year. PLAY
The UN has identified 49 ‘least developed countries.’ PLAY
They were defined as nations where personal income was less than $992 on a three year average. PLAY
The report also considered the economic problems each nation faced, and its rating on the Human Assets Index. PLAY
The index measures health, school attendance and the ability to read. PLAY
Thirty-four of the ‘least developed countries’ are in Africa. The are 9 others in Asia, five in the Pacific and one in the Caribbean. PLAY
Taffere Tesfachew says countries should invest in labor intensive industries to create jobs for the millions of unemployed. PLAY
He predicts problems in areas that move directly from agriculture to a service- based economy, while ignoring manufacturing. PLAY
