Abstract: This section provides answers to basic questions about the ADA. Most of the answers come from formal and informal guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency that enforces the ADA. When available, links to the EEOC guidance are provided.

Abstract: The cover reflects human development progress over 1990–2017 in terms of Human Development Index (HDI) values and the number of people in the four human development categories. In the figure each slice’s innermost band represents the population in that human development category, and the height of the slice reflects its HDI value.

Abstract: The cover reflects the basic message that human development is for everyone—in the human development journey no one can be left out.

Abstract: Inequalities in human development are more profound. Consider two children born in 2000, one in a very high human development country, the other in a low human development country. Today the first has a more than 50-50 chance of being enrolled in higher

Abstract: That the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, is a very crude indicator of the economic achievements of a nation is not a secret. Mahbub ul Haq knew all about it when he was an undergraduate, and as fellow students in Cambridge, we often talked about the misdirecting power of GDP as a popular measure. We also discussed how easily we could improve GDP as an indicator by replacing the values of commodities

Abstract: South Asia has been among the fastest-growing regions in the world over the past decade. Yet intraregional trade is low and well below expected levels, suggesting that regional spillovers from individual country growth are muted. Given that trade is a conduit for growth, job creation, and poverty reduction, understanding and addressing the factors exacerbating the suboptimal levels of engagement is important.

Abstract: Home to a fifth of humankind, and to almost half of the people living in poverty, South Asia is also a region of marked contrasts: from conflict-affected areas to vibrant democracies, from demographic bulges to aging societies, from energy crises to global companies. This series explores the challenges faced by a region whose fate is critical to the success of global development in the early 21st century, and that can also make a difference for global peace. The vol

Abstract: A stylized fact of development economics

Abstract: The year 2008 was important for the field of economic geography: Paul Krugman won the Nobel Prize in Economics, partly for his work conceptualizing the spatial allocation of economic activity, and the World Bank published a World Development Report called Reshaping Economic Geography. While these and other efforts were influential in high-lighting long-standing issues of spatial inequity and missed regional growth opportunities, the financial crisis diverted policy
