I have been listening to many journalists and opposition parties talk about increasing inequality and that rich-poor divide is widening. I put two scenarios here. Scenario 1: Rich person grows by 40 units while a poor person grows by 30 units - in a certain time duration Scenario 2: In the same time duration, Rich person grows by 20 units while a poor person grows by 15 units Which one do you want to have? The third scenario is perhaps the desired if not impossible one - rich person grows by 20 units and the poor person grows by 30 units.

New paper alert! Here my former Honours student Hannah Goodman and her supervisors show that young males are the demographic group that is most likely to take risks in everyday situations (e.g. crossing the road, riding a bike). We also find that people in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas engage in risk-taking more frequently than people in areas of higher socioeconomic status. These findings have practical implications for risk intervention strategies. https://lnkd.in/gAWcAg2Z

We're always trying to make research easier and more insightful for you. Here are three things we're especially excited about: 1. Pulse surveys: quick surveys to get Manitobans' thoughts on issues - fast! 2. Fresh qualitative tools: new innovative methods to get to the "why" behind the numbers. 3. More political insights: frequents, detailed insights on local and national politics, including approval ratings and leader-specific data. In 2025, Probe's co-owners, Curtis and Mary Agnes, will be working with smart, thoughtful clients who need to understand the best way to help their communities, customers and members.

In essence, greed is the root cause of our economic crises. The desire for more wealth than can be managed has led to harmful actions. This confusion between wants and needs has distanced us from the wisdom and ability to manage our resources effectively. Mismanagement of priorities leads to the mismanagement of resources, and ultimately, to their loss. Often, we are the architects of our own economic crises. Wouldn't you agree?

As we begin 16 days of action on gender-based violence, we need real change. Tyneside Women’s Health has reported a staggering 400% increase in women reporting domestic abuse to their service this year compared to 2022. Urgent and effective action is needed to stop the rise in violence against women and girls in our communities. The government’s target to halve violence against women and girls is certainly welcome, but it is ambitious without innovation, proper support including adequate funding, considered policies and effective advocacy for the women and girls sector, and a localised approach. Erin Parker Leonard from Represent Women, Laura Seebohm from WWIN Specialist Domestic Abuse Services, and Nicole Westmarland, Director of Centre for Research into violence and abuse, shared their views with the BBC last week. You can hear from them on Politics North starting at minute 19:31. Watch here. https://lnkd.in/exNf-JYR Represent women will continue to work towards a better deal for women and girls organisations that are already working tirelessly carrying out vital support to women affected by violence against women and girls. What data will be used to measure success? Will there be a regional approach to take into account the vast disparities to?women of the North? How will the women and girls sector be listened to and valued as experts? What funding will be available to support and strengthen the sector? Thanks to Helen Richardson for the time and effort put into this important report.?

from 2003: Greenspan income gap. Rich-poor gap gaining attention - CSMonitor.com Interesting… social anxiety , angry divisive electorate, embracing demagoguery, homeless tent cities…. Wheres talk of the income gap? https://lnkd.in/eXnVfGYa Interesting… social anxiety , angry divisive electorate, embracing demagoguery, homeless tent cities…. Wheres talk of the income gap? The income gap between the rich and the rest of the US population has become so wide, and is growing so fast, that it might eventually threaten the stability of democratic capitalism itself. Is that a liberal's talking point? Sure. But it's also a line from the recent public testimony of a champion of the free market: Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. https://lnkd.in/eXnVfGYa
