Título : Statistical Methods for Human Rights Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Jana Asher ; David Banks ; Scheuren, Fritz J Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2008 Número de páginas: XXI, 339 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-387-72837-7 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Statistics Science Public health Human rights Social sciences Demography for Science, Behavorial Education, Policy, and Law Rights general Methodology of the Sciences Health Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: Human rights issues are shaping the modern world. They define the expectations by which nations are judged and affect the policy of governments, corporations, and foundations. They have set the agenda in prosecutions at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, funding decisions by the International Monetary Fund, and corporate expansion programs by multinationals. Statistics is central to the modern perspective on human rights. It allows researchers to measure the effect of health care policies, the penetration of educational opportunity, and progress towards gender equality. The new wave of entrepreneurial charities demands impact assessments and documentation of milestone achievement. Non-governmental organizations need statistics to build cases, conduct surveys, and target their efforts. This book describes the statistics that underlie the social science research in human rights. It includes case studies, methodology, and research papers that discuss the fundamental measurement issues. It is intended as an introduction to applied human rights research. The editors of the book are Jana Asher, David Banks, and Fritz Scheuren. Jana Asher led the first national human rights survey in Sierra Leone and provided statistical support for surveys in Iraq, Kosovo, East Timor and Peru. She is the former Senior Program Associate in the Science and Human Rights Program at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. David Banks is a professor of statistics at Duke University, Fellow of the American Statistical Association, recipient of the Roger Herriott Award, and currently editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association. Fritz Scheuren is the past-president of the American Statistical Association, a Fellow of the ASA, and Vice-President of Statistics at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.

Título : Social Protection and Social Development : International Initiatives Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Julie L. Drolet ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: SpringerBriefs in Population Studies, ISSN 2211-3215 Número de páginas: X, 163 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-94-007-7878-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Human rights Climate change Sustainable development Social policy work Economics Policy Work Change Rights Development Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: The Social Protection Floor Initiative promotes universal access to essential social transfers and services. Presently 80% of the global population does not enjoy a set of social guarantees that allows them to deal with life’s risks such as unemployment, ill health, and natural disasters. This book explores the importance and necessity of social protection, including key concepts, universal principles and human rights, the need for context-specific policies, the role of adaptive climate change, and country examples. Social protection refers to a set of essential transfers, services and facilities that all citizens everywhere should enjoy to ensure the realization of the rights embodied in human rights treaties. The Social Protection Floor aims to facilitate and accelerate the introduction or strengthening of sustainable context-specific social protection systems. Experiences from countries around the world that have implemented components of the Social Protection Floor provide evidence of its feasibility, affordability, and impact. The promise and success of social protection is important for transformative change, social inclusion, and alliance building, and raises critical questions about current neoliberal austerity measures. This book calls for a comprehensive, multi-dimensional, integrated and innovative policy mix that recognizes the interdependency between demographic shifts, employment, labour migration, social protection, economic development, and the environment Nota de contenido: Background to the Social Protection Initiative -- International Instruments -- Definition of the Social Protection Floor -- Adaptive Social Protection -- Country Developments and Initiatives -- Appendices En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7878-8 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36342 Social Protection and Social Development : International Initiatives [documento electrónico] / Julie L.
