The Brazilian agro-industrial frontier in Mato Grosso rapidly expanded in total area of mechanized production and in total value of production in the last decade. This article shows the spatial pattern of that expansion from 2000 to 2010, based on novel analyses of satellite imagery. It then explores quantitatively and qualitatively the antecedents and correlates of intensification, the expansion of the area under two crops per year. Double cropping is most likely in areas with access to transportation networks, previous profitable agricultural production, and strong existing ties to national and international commodity markets. The article concludes with an exploration of the relationship between double cropping and socioeconomic development, showing that double cropping is strongly correlated with incomes of all residents of a community and with investments in education. We conclude that double cropping in Mato Grosso is very closely tied to multiple indicators of socioeconomic development.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically test whether enforceability mediates the relationship between property rights and investment in housing, using data from land formalization project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Design/methodology/approach The study was cross-sectional in design; data were collected from a sample of 210 households that benefited from the recent Addis Ababa city land and buildings formalization project. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the goodness-of-fit of the latent structures underlying the constructs. Mediation was tested using the Baron and Kenny steps, combined with bootstrapping technique. Robustness of results was checked. Findings The results indicate statistically significant mediation effect of contract enforcement. However, the mediation is partial, there is still a substantial direct effect of security of property rights on investment. Practical implications Any initiative to land formalization projects needs to consider contract enforcement environment, as presence and size of property rights effects largely depend on whether those rights are properly enforced. Originality/value This is the first study that conceptualizes the mediating effect of contract enforcement on the relationship between property rights and investment from an African country perspective.

China’s role as an emerging aid provider and the concept of a social plan in Africa has led to polarised responses in the West. Several say that this “productivist” strategy is much less determined by the concepts of citizenship, legal, social rights, and much more regarding building functions. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the welfare and social policy ideas that characterize Chinese aid in Africa are influencing traditional donors and becoming global. The article utilised a qualitative study that has two main components. First, a comprehensive content analysis of over 50 key Sino-African, Chinese and Western policy documents from 2000 (since cooperation between Beijing and African countries first became institutionalised). Second, there were semi-structured interviews with Chinese, African and Western stakeholders in Addis Ababa, (Ethiopia), who was directly involved in the relationship between China and Africa and related development issues. The result of documentation and interview analyses show that there are currently significant differences between Chinese and Western approaches. China has made much stronger and more explicit links between development aid and economic activity than most Western donors. The aid is usually implemented through specific projects rather than broader programs or policies.

Increasingly, the policy of the Russian Federation is aimed at the development of healthcare, and spending on the healthcare industry is becoming a serious problem for the financial stability of national health systems, even in highincome countries. Voluntary medical insurance, as one of the forms of medical insurance, contributes to the formation of all insurance premiums, thereby this form can be one of the indirect factors of socioeconomic development of Russia. The paper hypothesizes the existence of a relationship between the level of development of the welfare of the country and the volume of the premium fund of voluntary health insurance. A study was conducted on the relationship between voluntary health insurance and GDP, as one of the key indicators of the country's development, through correlation and regression analysis.

Domestic resource mobilization (DRM) has assumed increasing significance as a form of financing for sustainable development and economic growth in Africa. This chapter explores the present and future roles of international law concerning the regulation of this form of financing for sustainable development and economic growth in Africa, as well as the main obstacles and challenges of mobilising DRM in African developing and less developed countries. While there is a wide array of questions and issues related to this form of financing for development that international conferences and summits, in particular the Monterrey Consensus on Financing for Development and the Addis Ababa Agenda for Action, have addressed in various forms and with different emphasis and results, the chapter focuses exclusively on some substantial issues, such as the use of DRM for the financing of the new Sustainable Development Goals and the relationship between DRM and poverty alleviation actions and strategies.

SummaryDemographic transition theory states that fertility declines in response to development, thus wealth and fertility are negatively correlated. Evolutionary theory, however, suggests a positive relationship between wealth and fertility. Fertility transition as a result of industrialization and economic development started in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Western Europe; and it extended to some of the Asian and Latin American countries later on. However, economic crises since the 1980s have been co-incident with fertility decline in sub-Sahara Africa and other developing countries like Thailand, Nepal and Bangladesh in the last decade of the 20th century. A very low level of fertility is observed in Addis Ababa (TFR=1·9) where contraceptive prevalence rate is modest and recurrent famine as well as drought have been major causes of economic crisis in the country for more than three consecutive decades, which is surprising given the high rural fertility. Detailed socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of 2976 women of reproductive age (i.e. 15–49 years) residing in Addis Ababa were collected during the first quarter of 2003 using an event history calendar and individual women questionnaire. Controlling for the confounding effects of maternal birth cohort, education, marital status and accessible income level, the poor (those who have access to less than a dollar per day or 250 birr a month) were observed to elongate the timing of having first and second births, while relatively better-off women were found to have shorter birth intervals. Results were also the same among the ever-married women only model. More than 50% of women currently in their 20s are also predicted to fail to reproduce as most of the unmarried men and women are ‘retreating from marriage’ due to economic stress. Qualitative information collected through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews also supports the statistical findings that poverty is at the root of this collapse in fertility. Whilst across countries wealth and fertility have been negatively correlated, this study shows that within one uniform population the relationship is clearly positive.

RESUMENLa necesidad de una educación humanista, inclusiva y solidaria responde a los retos del siglo XXI y considera las capacidades a partir de los criterios sobre competencias profesionales y transformaciones gerenciales en el sistema educacional de la sociedad ecuatoriana actual. El objetivo de este trabajo se relaciona con actualizar los elementos de la productividad laboral en las unidades educativas, como ente transformador de la sociedad ecuatoriana. En una revisión literaria se explica el papel que desempeñan los centros educativos en la transformación del modelo de desarrollo ecuatoriano, el cual tiene en sus políticas de estado, fortalecer al ciudadano en todos sus ámbitos. Para el trabajo se tomó como base teórica y metodológica a la Economía Política Marxista, aplicando el método científico. Con tales propósitos, se estructuró en tres epígrafes: el primero, aborda la relación entre educación y desarrollo; el segundo, la educación en Ecuador y el tercero describe a las unidades educativas ecuatorianas, punto central del estudio. Se reafirma, que la educación es importante para el desarrollo socioeconómico, y los gobiernos destinan recursos, pero no son suficientes para alcanzar la calidad académica, sin embargo, se aprecia que el estado ecuatoriano en la última etapa, implementó un trabajo que beneficia a las masas y no a la minoría oligárquica. Se concluye que sin educación los países no avanzan y sin ella siempre serán subdesarrollados, consumistas y dependientes, los que en un momento determinado serán absorbidos en su totalidad por las potencias mundiales y se convertirán en mano de obra barata. PALABRAS CLAVE: comunidad, educación, personal, rendimiento, trabajoLABOR PRODUCTIVITY IN THE EDUCATIONAL UNITS OF ZONE 4, AS A TRANSFORMING ENTITY OF THE ECUADORIAN SOCIETYABSTRACTThe need for a humanistic, inclusive and solidary education responds to the challenges of the 21st century and considers the capacities based on the criteria on professional competences and managerial transformations in the educational system of the current Ecuadorian society. The objective of this work is related to updating the elements of labor productivity in educational units, as a transforming entity of Ecuadorian society. In a literary review explains the role played by schools in the transformation of the model of Ecuadorian development, which has in its state policies, strengthen the citizen in all areas. For the work was taken as a theoretical and methodological basis to the Marxist Political Economy, applying the scientific method. With such purposes, it was structured in three epigraphs; the first deals with the relationship between education and development; the second, education in Ecuador and the third; describes the Ecuadorian educational units, central point of the study. It reaffirms that education is important for socioeconomic development, and that governments allocate resources, but not enough, to achieve academic quality. However, it is appreciated that the Ecuadorian state in the last stage, implemented a work that benefits the masses and not the oligarchic minority. It is concluded that without education the countries do not advance and without this they will always be underdeveloped, consumerist and dependent, which at a certain moment will be absorbed in their totality by the world powers and will become cheap labor. KEYWORDS: community, education, staff, performance, work
