Answer:

B. compares the levels of indicators for females to those of males within a country.

Explanation:

Gender inequalities represent one of the main obstacles to human development. The Gender Inequality Index is a socioeconomic index that aims to compare the socioeconomic status of women relative to men. It is an indicator that enables a quantitative analysis of gender inequalities in the labor market, health and independence. This index is necessary to indicate distortions of income, employment, and access to health. Thus, public policies can be taken to equate gender.

Write an article on the topic "Nepal<br>crisis and its solution in Nepal."​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Nepal has huge natural potentials like many rivers running down from the Himalayas in high speed, nearly all-year long sunshine, making it an ideal place to utilize hydro- and solar power. But what Nepal lacks is expertise. So to utilize the potentials, Nepal has to employ Indian, Chinese and other experts and even companies. Due to not too transparent system and changing governments with differing decisions, foreign investment is not effective in Nepal. Projects are started, then stopped half the way…

There is also a kind of unbased “paranoia” when foreign companies offer help (in exchange for business opportunities) in these projects. This fear is based on outdated superstitions and xenophobia towards Indians or Western companie and charities (they might try to secretly overtake the land?). This era is but not an era of colonization anymore, history had changed. Also, in spite of the wide belief, most Western charities are not wishing to convert Nepalis to Christianity in exchange for offering help in any technical expertize, as the majority of the West now is secular and not Christian.

In my modest opinion, Nepali governments should lessen the fear from foreign investors and allow some of them to make a real change, even if it seems financially less beneficial in a short -term for the country. Nepali decision-makers should understand the long-term benefits of enabling foreign investments in a development of the whole country, infrastructure, life standard of Nepalis.

Next: the education system of Nepal is painfully outdated. If Nepal cared more about “brain-exchange” programs, cooperation between Nepali and Western universities, sooner or later Nepal could grow its own engineering experts. The talents are there, but they have no opportunities. Also, why should a developing country charge high fees for study at universities? This is blocking the development of Nepal. If higher study was free in Nepal as it is in Europe, in a single generation many energy experts would appear and Nepal would look like Europe!

Thus the problem is not real, but “psychological”. The resources are there, but the mentality is backward and everyone wants a piece of the cake for himself. For real changes human beings must learn to sacrifice, and this counts also for governments and politicians. First there is a need to change the way of thinking, and the development will come after it like its tail

¿Cuáles continentes están localizados al este del meridiano 0 o de Greenwich? ¿Cuáles están localizados al oeste del meridiano 0
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Los continentes que se encuentran ubicados enteramente al este del Meridiano de Greenwich son Asia y Oceania. Así el continente asiatico tiene sus limites entre los Montes Urales y el Oceano Pacífico, mientras que Oceanía se encuentra enteramente ubicada en el Oceano Pacífico al sur de Asia.

A su vez, Europa y Africa son continentes que se encuentran tanto al este como al oeste del Meridiano de Greenwich, dado que dicho meridiano los atraviesa. Así, la mayor parte de Europa se encuentra al este del meridiano, que atraviesa al Reino Unido, Francia y España, con lo que estos países se encuentran tanto al este como al oeste de dicha línea. A su vez, naciones como Portugal, Irlanda o Islandia se encuentran enteramente al oeste del Meridiano de Greenwich.

Por su parte, África se encuentra en la misma situación que Europa, con naciones como Argelia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo y Ghana siendo atravesadas por dicho meridiano, y naciones como Marruecos o Guinea Ecuatorial ubicadas totalmente al oeste de dicha linea, mientras la mayor parte del continente lo hace en su lado oriental.

En cambio, el continente americano en su conjunto se encuentra totalmente ubicado al oeste del Meridiano de Greenwich, formando el Hemisferio Occidental. Así, Colombia se encuentra ubicada al oeste del Meridiano de Greenwich, formando parte de América del Sur.

In 1 or 2 sentences, explain how quantity supplied and price are related.
nydimaria [60]
When there is more of a product, the price is lowered because the product is not in short supply. However, if there is very little of the product, the price will increase because it is harder to get one's hands on that product because of its scarcity.
