English

Subject field(s)
  • National and International Economics

DEF

The way in which total national income is divided among households in the economy.

CONT

A characteristic of the income distribution of virtually all economies is that a high proportion of households have incomes falling within the lower-size classes, while a very small proportion of households fall within the high-income classes. This feature remains remarkably stable over time, the main changes being a general upward shift in the whole distribution, rather than a greater compression of it.

Record 4 2015-12-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Co-operation and Development
CONT

The global development architecture is rapidly going through major transformations and simple dichotomies-North/South or developed/developing countries-are now obsolete. There has been a shift in the geography of poverty with the majority of poor populations now living in middle‐income while the poorest countries that have no geostrategic relevance are forgotten in their vulnerabilities.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Coopération et développement économiques
CONT

L’architecture internationale de développement est définie comme les agences, les institutions et les systèmes du monde qui contrôlent le transfert des ressources financières et humaines (finances et expertise pour le développement des pays à faible revenu).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cooperación y desarrollo económicos
CONT

[…] para lograr la aceleración del desarrollo y la reducción de la pobreza en los PMA [países menos adelantados], es menester no solo mejorar los mecanismos de apoyo internacional específicamente destinados a los PMA, sino también establecer una nueva arquitectura internacional del desarrollo en favor de los PMA. Esa nueva arquitectura se define como un nuevo conjunto de instituciones, reglas y normas oficiales y no oficiales, incluidos incentivos, principios y procesos, que configurarían las relaciones económicas internacionales de una manera tendiente a lograr un desarrollo sostenido e incluyente en los PMA.
