World Bank Doing Business As Usual - Making a Mockery of Poverty - TopicsExpress



          

World Bank Doing Business As Usual - Making a Mockery of Poverty Reduction - excellent analysis from Bangalore on the Doing Business report. The report considers taxes paid for waste collection, roads, or social contributions all to be a burden on business. Heaven forbid people should have pensions, or job security, or a clean environment. Côte dIvoire loses points for having increased the employers contribution rate for social security related to retirement; Kenya is marked down for raising taxes to pay for social security; Brazil is penalised for imposing restrictions on fixed-term contracts for permanent work; and Kazakhstan is criticised for levying an environmental tax.
