Submitted by massetti on

 allAfrica.com (14.09.2017) With the commodities crisis crippling the economies of countries like South Africa and Nigeria, it's become more important than ever that Africans develop the blueprint for their own start-up nations. While industrialization is an appealing path to growth for countries like Ethiopia, more nations should value the developmental potential sitting in front of them: Africa's large informal sector.

Finnish citizens given universal basic income report lower stress levels and greater incentive to work | The Independent

Submitted by -treichel on

Finland has been giving 2,000 of its citizens an unconditional income for the last five months and some are already seeing the benefits, reporting decreased stress, greater incentives to find work and more time to pursue business ideas. The scheme is the first of its kind in Europe and sees participants receive €560 (£473) every month for two years. Recipients do not have to demonstrate that they are seeking employment and they are not required to regularly report to authorities to prove they still need the payment, as is the case with standard unemployment benefits.

Increasingly onerous emissions standards as well as the promotion of ride-sharing and electric cars risks benefiting the wealthy and those in big cities at the expense of the poor and those in rural areas, according to a new report.
