Knowledge economy and social inequality Knowledge economy and social inequality Despite the objectives of the EU-Lisbon strategy, the present political focus on the development of a knowledge economy is diverting to some extent attention of policy makers to the problem of social inequality. There is evidence that this is not justified because social inequality hasn't vanished as a social problem in society. On the contrary, in the context of a knowledge economy social inequality not only gets a new topicality, also new social risks appear that are related with a knowledge economy. These new risks easily contribute to a further increase of social inequality of some social groups. They manifest themselves in the areas of labour market, demography and the perception of social safety. More in particular, with respect to the Netherlands, the inequality of incomes has increased since 1994. Earlier, the long lasting post-war trend towards more incomes equality came to a stand still. Another trend is privatisation of social security provisions. This trend is also reinforced by the new, knowledge economy related, social risks.

Drawing from the EU-funded DomEQUAL research project across nine countries in Europe, South America and Asia, this comparative study explores the conditions of domestic workers around the world and the campaigns they are conducting to improve their labour rights. The book showcases how domestic workers’ movements put ‘intersectionality in action’ in repre-senting the interest of various marginalized social groups from migrants and low-income groups to racialized and rural girls and women. This will be an invaluable for scholars, policy makers and activists alike.

Knowledge Economy is an education related to the declaration and contents of the Lisbon Strategy – The Perfect Europe and a follow up strategy of the competitiveness of member states of the EU by the year 2010. The term knowledge economy can be defined as “an education about problems of upbringing and educating students, a professional education of managers and population, an education about strategies of being competitive as well as an education about reality and contents of innovating an information society”. The application of the Knowledge Economy in the content of education into research and workplace consulting enriches economic theories as well as gradation of agrarian economic in the field of competitiveness and information technology. The Knowledge Economy means a world repute and maximalisation of international relations and at the same time a vision of catching up with the leaders of world economies. Present educational systems, a general and specific education of new member states, is short-sightedly oriented at regional and local education with the effort to educate “an euroengineer, an eurodoctor, etc.”, into the expansion of new faculties and their entitling as “European studies, integration studies, some subjects are also innovatived with a modified agrarian and business union politics”, which I myself consider to be an “educational lag behind” which is the antithesis to the attributes of catching up with the more developed.

This paper comparatively examined the valuation methodologies put forward and accepted in four recent FRAND cases adjudicated in the US in 2013-14 and found a link to the business models (i.e. value logics) employed by the actors and the type of standards involved. This indicates that the value of standard essential patents (SEPs) may be dependent on the market structure under which standards are developed. Additionally, valuation models based on prior license agreements seem to currently produce higher valuations of SEPs, everything else equal. However, a lack of agreement by the different courts regarding similar valuation methods indicates the value of SEPs still lacks consensus on both legal and economic grounds, especially in relation to new knowledge-based business models and norms. This suggests that policy makers (both within SSOs and government) should take pause in further defining IPR policies and adopting new patent regulations without a deeper understanding of the potential impact to both dynamic and static economic efficiency in respect to an emerging new division of innovation labor and knowledge-based business models. This is particularly relevant as the studied cases confirm that lack of empirical evidence that perceived problems such as patent holdup and royalty stacking are more than a merely contractual/transactional phenomenon that can't well be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the courts.

Eco-innovation and green technologies are the key to Europe´s future and they are at the heart of the EU policies. To step towards the sustainable economic growth, there is a need for much more eco-innovation. The aim of the paper is to use the eco-innovation index as an instrument to measure the eco-innovation performance of a country in the global knowledge economy, to analyse and assess the components and indicators of eco-innovation index for Slovakia in the year 2017 and to compare them with those of EU 28. Identified and discussed will be the areas in which the main strengths and weaknesses are evident, formulated will be the main implications for managers and policy makers in Slovakia to improve the state in mentioned area. Following the aim of the paper a set of research questions will be formulated. Our study is based on secondary sources of data coming from the Eurostat and Eco-Innovation Observatory. The methods used in the paper are the method of casual analysis, deduction, abstraction, comparison as well as the synthesis.

The Ideal

The construction of conditions for the establishment of relationships between different knowledge is one of the pillars of the ideal of Education for Rural Areas. The work discusses how this panorama was expressed in the experience of the degree course of Education for Rural Areas from the Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys. The result of a case study, built from a cross-sectional approach, of a descriptive nature, with qualitative data treatment, is presented. The focus is directed to the discussion around four dynamics present in the course: Community Time Meeting, Cultural Night, Mystics and Projects coordinated by teachers. From the presentation of these experiences, reflections are outlined structured in three argumentative axes: the place of science in the relations between knowledge; the relationships between knowledge as encounters of ways of life; the counterpoint between “contextualization” and “perspective” in the relations between knowledge. Concluding that the relations between social groups define conditions for the establishment of relations between knowledge, the results of the work point out the imperative to collaborate with the creation of a new knowledge economy more just and appropriate for rural populations.

Public debates tend to see social inequality as resulting from individual decisions people make, for instance with respect to their education or lifestyle. Solutions are often sought in supporting individuals to make better choices. This neglects the importance of social groups and communities in determining individual outcomes. A moral perspective on social inequality questions the fairness of insisting on individual responsibilities, when members of some groups systematically receive fewer opportunities than others. The essays in this book have been prepared by experts from different disciplines, ranging from philosophy to engineering, and from economics to epidemiology. On the basis of recent scientific insights, World of Difference examines how group memberships impact on individual outcomes in four key domains: health, education and work, migration, and the environment. This offers a new moral perspective on social inequality, which policy makers tend to neglect.

2009 Monash University European and EU Centre Young Researchers Conference - ‘East and West Together: Twenty years after the fall of communism in Europe’As national economies become increasingly knowledge-based, the education sector is witnessing an evolution of its goals and methods. The European Commission’s Lisbon Strategy, initially vaguely aimed at making the European Union’s economy more dynamic and competitive when it was first laid out at the March 2000 Lisbon Summit, was redefined in Spring 2005 and now revolves around the concepts of growth and jobs. The Commission recommends investment in the knowledge economy by investing in R&D, innovation, and education and lifelong learning. As Bulgaria has the lowest GDP per capita of all the EU-27 MS, an examination of its current situation regarding the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy can serve as an example of the problems facing the poorer countries of the EU. Problems may not be as obvious or pressing in the richer Member States, but may be more so in the poorer Member States.
