I looked to the National Bureau of Economic Research, who recently published Globalization and Poverty. Here’s what I found out:
Some studies show that globalization has been associated with rising inequality, because the poor do not always share in the gains from trade. An example of this is the coffee trade. Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world, yet most of its growers only make 10% of what it eventually sells for. However, when farmers have access to credit, technical know-how, and social safety nets such as income support, trade can benefit the world’s poor.
The book argues that export growth and incoming foreign investment have proven to reduce poverty. But, at the same time, trade and foreign investment alone are not enough to alleviate poverty. Increasing access to education and credit, as well as improved infrastructure, are necessary in order to see real progress. Echoing that idea, Harrison concludes that globalization can benefit people living in extreme poverty, but only if the appropriate complementary policies and institutions are in place.
We can actually infer here that as a hydrologist who happen to be in charge of the inspection of the Laguna de Bay and Manila Bay, the water distribution on these areas in terms of freshwater and salt-water can be quantified according to their degree of salinity. Laguna de Bay is a fresh water lake whose degree of salinity is lower than that of the Manila Bay.
<h3>What is
Laguna de Bay?</h3>
The Laguna de Bay is actually known as the third largest inland body of water. It is located in Southeast Asia. It is found in the heart of Luzon Island.
The Manila Bay is known as the natural harbor which is known to serve the Port of Manila (on Luzon). It is located in the Philippines; the capital city of the Philippines.
