In the Human Development Report‚ the country ranks 82 of 187 countries (UNDP 2014)‚ and there remains a great difference in income levels across the population‚ reflected in a Gini coefficient of 0.48 (1 indicating complete inequality). The amount of the population not having enough calories differs greatly between rural and urban homes (FAO 2010b). The food expenditure of households in Peru is still a significant share of total expenditure

price-quantity relationships in the form of demand curves. Nevertheless‚ it is analytically convenient to segregate demand determinants into two groups: (1) the selling price of the product and (2) all other demand determinants. Using this dichotomization‚ variations in the purchases of a product associated solely with changes in product price are customarily termed changes in the quantity demanded and are represented graphically by movements along a given demand curve. In Figure 5-1(a)‚ a decrease in the price

It is now difficult to read a newspaper or a book‚ watch the television‚ surf the Internet‚ or participate in a demonstration without coming across references to how ’globalization ’ is affecting our lives. One of the crucial challenges facing many developing and transitional economies is balancing the benefits of globalisation with the risks and costs. According to Sheila L (2004) : ’Globalization can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society

Hong Kong? A psychologist said that stress is a joint result of weak knowledge base plus and in sufficient support. In a highly competitive society like Hong Kong‚ everyone must work very hard for keeping a foothold. Moreover‚ Hong Kong’s Gini Coefficient has consistently at the world’s top rank‚ which implies the city’s income gap have a great disparity‚ despite a high living standard. That is how the stress comes up and let us take a close look at the issues. First of all‚ stress can be avoided

Introduction Spectrophotometer is an optical instrument that measures and shows how much light energy is transmitted by a substance in solution at different wavelengths of radiant energy. Light passes into a monochromator where only a very narrow range of wavelengths can pass through. From there‚ light is transmitted through a sample solution‚ and on to a phototube where the light energy is converted to an electric current that is registered on a meter. To measure the amount of light absorbed

the data is skewed as the rich become richer and the poor stay poor. This happened to Laos‚ and can be seen by looking at the income inequality in Laos as shown by the Gini coefficient. From 1992-93 the coefficient was 28.6. Five years later from 1997-98 the coefficient was 35.7. This is a 4.4 percent growth rate in the coefficient‚ caused from the first four quintiles losing their portion of the income‚ and the top quintile experiencing a 2.9 percent growth (Lengsavad‚ 2000).
