I am delighted to share with my network an important update: the Observatório Social, a research group from the Department of Economics at UFSCar to which I am affiliated, is entering a new phase with the launch of its new official website: www.observatoriosocial.ufscar.br

Com essa presença nas redes, buscamos fortalecer o debate acadêmico e ampliar o diálogo com a sociedade sobre desenvolvimento e evidências em políticas públicas.

Em breve, teremos mais novidades e projetos para compartilhar!

Além do site, o grupo também passa a contar com novos canais institucionais:

🔹 Página no LinkedIn: Observatório Social (observatoriosocial-ufscar)
🔹 Perfil no Instagram: @observatoriosocial.ufscar

A chart showing how the share of the global population between different poverty lines has changed since 1990. Extreme poverty (defined as being below the International Poverty Line of $3 a day) has decreased from 43% in 1990 to 10% today. Poverty has also decreased at other thresholds. The data source is the World Bank. The chart is licensed CC BY to Our World in Data.

To track progress towards ending extreme poverty by 2030, the United Nations relies on the World Bank to estimate the share of people living below a certain threshold, called the International Poverty Line (IPL).

Hi Sara,
Do you know the deadline for applications? I couldn't find that information by reading the job description. Thank you

Very good to know that @iza.org has found a new institutional home

Maluco n sabe nem falar direito, e é Senador….

🗓️ Hoje, 1º de abril, relembramos o golpe de 1964, que instaurou uma ditadura militar de mais de 20 anos no Brasil. Regime de censura, repressão e violência.
2025 também é marco de 40 anos da eleição indireta de Tancredo Neves, o primeiro presidente civil a após o regime militar.

Por ser de primeira geração e acadêmico, eu sinto um desconforto enorme ainda. De como se eu sempre n tivesse capacidade igual a dos meus pares.
É um auto encolhimento mto ruim

Portal, o Thiaguinho rescindiu com o Sesi?

Dessa vez n foi culpa do SportTV não. Caiu uma tempestade no jogo do Inter q paralisou o jogo por 15 minutos, por isso pegou o horário da semi.

I remember the findings of this study in the Psychology of Poverty classes in the course “The Challenge of World Poverty” taught by the professor himself.

It was after these classes that I became very interested in the subject.

So I study but naturally there are more and less productive days.

Essa opção não é possível onde me encontro nesse período 😅

Hi everyone,

it's me here bringing another concern of a young student/researcher. How do/did you manage to study on Saturdays?

This reminded me of the study done in India by Dillon et al, 2016 on preschool mathematics.

In which the researchers used math games to test children’s math learning (showing results on learning) and how this is dispersed in later years due to the “traditional” curriculum.

🔊 What can history teach us about cash transfers? How have societies used cash transfers through the ages and what role have they played in countries’ development process?
