Urban Land policy as an employment policy
Dr. Solomon Benjamin
Our research experience on livelihoods and clustering economies in various parts of India, and preliminary evidence from other parts of the world suggest land policy can be an important employment policy. This is specifically important as a key issue of urbanization. Governments are no longer able to provide public sector employment to the extent they used to. Second, cities face increasing segregations between rich and poor groups. Third, conventional poverty programs are still framed in the conventional top-down and non-contextualized fashion – which often miss out local level initiatives and opportunities. Poor groups are often perceived as passive "beneficiaries" or "Targets." It is certainly true that there are some circumstances where "targets" do help as an organizing feature of a poverty program. However, in taking a more rooted perspective of urban economies, we find a significant role played by local economies in generating employment. Local groups (including poor ones) take a more pro-active role and a key feature in many of these economies is one of the partnerships possible with local governments. Significantly, land policy has an effect on the efficacy of these economies in providing employment. A focus on the institutional aspect of these economies suggests that working with municipal government turns out to be an important entry point to promote employment. This is because local economy stakeholders have easy access to public decision making via elected councils as compared to higher levels of governments. Also, upgrading efforts by local governments turn out to be effective ways to support and promote the local economy. In return, some local governments have attempted to use this as a strategy to raise revenues. | Translation - Spanish
La Política territorial urbana como política para generar empleo
Dr. Solomon Benjamin
Nuestra experiencia, resultante de la investigación sobre la forma de ganarse el sustento y las economías agrupadas en la India, así como la evidencia preliminar obtenida de otras partes del mundo, sugiere que la política territorial puede ser importante para generar empleo. Esto es de importancia específica como elemento clave de la urbanización. Los gobiernos ya no están en condiciones de ofrecer empleos en el sector público en las cantidades a las que estaban acostumbrados. En segundo lugar, las ciudades enfrentan una segregación cada vez mayor entre los grupos ricos y los pobres. Tercero, los programas convencionales para erradicar la pobreza aun están enmarcados en el estilo convencional descendente y fuera de contexto – con lo que a menudo se pierden las iniciativas y oportunidades que se presentan en el ámbito local. Los grupos pobres se perciben con frecuencia como “beneficiarios” pasivos u “Objetivos”. Ciertamente es verdad que hay algunas circunstancias en que los “objetivos” ayudan como una característica para la organización de un programa contra la pobreza. Sin embargo, al analizar las economías urbanas desde una perspectiva más profunda, encontramos que las economías locales juegan un papel importante en la generación de empleo. Los grupos locales (incluidos los pobres) asumen un papel más proactivo y un factor clave en muchas de esas economías, es el de las posibles asociaciones con los gobiernos locales. La política territorial tiene un efecto significativo sobre la eficacia de estas economías para proporcionar empleo. Un enfoque sobre el aspecto institucional de estas economías sugiere que trabajar con los gobiernos municipales resulta ser un punto de inicio importante para promover el empleo. Esto se debe a que los inversores económicos locales acceden fácilmente a la toma de decisiones públicas a través de los consejos electos, comparados con los niveles de gobierno más altos. Además, los esfuerzos por mejorar llevados a cabo por los gobiernos locales, resultan ser formas eficaces de apoyar y promover la economía local. A cambio, algunos gobiernos locales han intentado utilizar esto como una estrategia para aumentar sus ingresos. | | German to Spanish: Technical translation | Source text - German
