Sumatra W20

W20 Sumatra

Recover Together Recover Strong

July 19 – 21, 2022

Sumatra

From July 19 to 21, the Women 20 summit will meet in Sumatra, Indonesia. This is an Engagement Group of the G20, representing the world’s 20 most industrialized countries, organized around the slogan used by Indonesia for the G20: Recover Together, Recover Stronger.

Dr. Sveva Avveduto from the CNR will lead the Italian delegation. The W20 group, which addresses all G20 themes from a female perspective, will present the results of a year’s work in the form of a Communiqué. This will be delivered to the G20 at the end of the Summit so that world leaders can incorporate gender equality and female empowerment into the conclusions of the G20 to be held in November.

The W20 has identified five priority areas, the first concerning non-discrimination and equality in every sector—from education to work, entrepreneurship, health, technology, and energy—as well as in public and private life.

In particular, world leaders are asked to take concrete measures to close the gender pay gap. An important area is education for boys and girls, aimed at eliminating gender stereotypes and the difficulties girls face in pursuing scientific studies and careers.

Giuseppe-Ponzini-2

A farewell to Pino

It is with shock and sadness that we announce the passing of Giuseppe Ponzini, Senior Researcher at IRPPS. He was a point of reference for the Fisciano office, having been among the first to settle in the original Penta headquarters, and was esteemed by the entire Institute for his scientific and human qualities.

Pino carried out his research and lived for a long time in Fisciano, making a fundamental contribution to welfare studies that were included in the Annual Report on the Welfare State in Italy, until his transfer to the Brindisi branch.

He was a brilliant and versatile researcher. Curious and intuitive, he would delve into new topics, putting his extensive erudition to good use.

He was a kind and generous person toward his colleagues and friends.

He was an excellent teacher whom many had the opportunity to appreciate, both at the university and in various training courses.

He leaves behind a great void and deep regret. Our thoughts are with his family.

A final embrace from all of us

Landownership concentration and human capital accumulation in post-unification Italy

This is the title of the article published by Vitantonio Mariella in the June 2022 issue of the journal Journal of Population Economics published by Springer

“This paper contributes to the debate on institutions and economic development by assessing the relationship between landownership concentration and education. Using historical data at both the district and province levels in post-unification Italy from 1871 to 1921, I find evidence of an adverse effect of land inequality on literacy rates. Instrumental variable estimates using malaria pervasiveness as a source of exogenous variation rule out concerns regarding potential endogeneity. Exploration of the panel dimension of the data reveals that several shocks during this period affected the relationship between land inequality and literacy rates. In addition, this paper provides insights into the mechanism behind this relationship by analyzing the impact on intermediate outputs, such as enrollment rates in primary school, child-teacher ratio, school density, child labor, and municipality expenditures. Land inequality may have adversely affected literacy rates not only by influencing schooling supply through the political process but also through the private demand for education.”

Statistics at CNR in Service of the Country

The Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies of the National Research Council (CNR IMATI), in collaboration with the Italian Statistical Society, as part of the initiatives preceding the 2022 Statistics Festival, is organizing an event on July 5, 2022 entitled:

The event has two main objectives:

  • on one hand, it aims to demonstrate, especially to the national statistical community, how CNR develops and applies statistical methodologies that contribute not only to the advancement of knowledge but also, and perhaps above all, to addressing and solving problems and challenges facing our country;
  • on the other hand, the event aims to inform the CNR scientific community about the statistical work carried out by their colleagues, while also seeking to foster collaborations and knowledge exchange.

The twelve researchers, at different career levels, have diverse scientific backgrounds and work in different institutes but share in common the use and/or development of statistical methodologies in their research.

The event aims precisely to highlight this commonality of interests despite the diversity and, hopefully, to foster future collaborations as well as greater awareness of the activities carried out by CNR researchers (with the collaboration of all staff) in service of the country.
