A joint committee hearing on October the 11th and Monsanto's chairman was invited to attend and actually he was to be sitting right next to me and we were both to discuss these issues in front of Parliament as they try to determine what they should do my Santo refused to appear on so as to refuse to appear they refused to send anyone else and make Parliament so angry that they then banned all months and a lobbyist from that so now months Santo and the chemical industry player surrogates have been really on attack secularly in the last week since the book was officially released and in fact at one funny story over the last several days they launched an attack on my Amazon read a review site. Look at all 5 stars and they set about on Twitter laying out a plan we can track it on Twitter we took screenshots of their conversations and then they hit the Amazon site with so you know dozens of negative reviews attacking me attacking a book you know well that's all example of what they do you know months to to certify corporate outward I mean there have been people Very know who have challenged him to prudent debates with impartial moderators and they have no desire to do so they often will refer people to someone who talks their line at the Hoover Institution who gets into Wall Street Journal regularly but they will not confront in a democratic society their critics in fact they so intimidate scientists and threaten to assume and bankrupt them that there are very few scientists who willing to stand up here there is a group called Gene watch you can look it up Gene Watch dot org g.e. And eat Watch dot org It was originally started to raise the ethical issues and the safety issues of genetic engineering but I heard an mit scientists it puts out a good. I think quarterly publication called Gene watch but by and large there's very very few scientists willing to stand up against them and we saw that in the auto safety battle in engineering and science many years ago g.m. Played some of that game and engineering schools they used to care and the stick How would you describe the movement to challenge month sent Are there environmental groups standing tall Sierra Club Owner d.c. Environmental Defense Fund David or hours group in Berkeley What kind of allies do you have. Well there certainly are a number of people there are grassroots groups there are very large and Geos there are environmental groups consumer health and safety groups medical associations and doctors around the world and it again it's not just months and they are sort of the 'd biggest you know elephant in the room perhaps and you know a well known and they have the most widely used chemical but you see this as if you mention with other companies and you see this with Dow Chemical you see it with you Paula you see the big companies that have a lot of money and a lot of power and can bring to bear a lot of pressure on our regulators and lawmakers and it's very difficult for regular every day folk you know or independent scientists who don't have a lot of funding behind them to challenge the machine and you know that's why I'm hoping to raise awareness in the book if you make Monsanto go away tomorrow that doesn't mean we're all Ok you know this is a much larger problem a pesticide pervasiveness in our food and our water companies have told us that this is required to feed the world which is dated it's not back that up at all the only reason it's necessary is for their profits to continue to grow and we need to get our regulators and our policymakers to prioritize public safety and public health over corporate profits and that's that's the group that has told you just these poesy makers No wonder Trump are the very chemical lobbyists who put their people in charge into e.p.a. And other government agencies f.d.a. It's the trade so that's a corporate state taking over so let's explain that point you just made spoke English once you know why it's roundup necessary why do we have to have this very powerful herbicide and why use months into now running around trying to make their herbicides even more powerful because that resistance is developed like anybody out of Kristen's the mutations of the world. Plants has no back and they have to have more powerful herbicides in order to help the farmers by their generously engineered seeds to plant how do you persuade the phone numbers about to write well if it is as I lay this out in white washing No it's really a situation where too much of a good thing is not a good thing you know when they 1st introduced life to satan 1974 it was you know overwhelmingly welcomed by farmers it was much more directly safe to farmers there are other herbicides out there that are you know acutely toxic this was much safer for many farmers use it did kill weeds much more effectively and efficiently it was a good thing it was a good introduction for agriculture at that time but as Monsanto pushed it more and more and then when Monsanto introduced genetically engineered crops designed to encourage more use of life to save that's when things just exploded and went you know haywire and we've seen an explosion of life is it use across the United States in North America to a certain degree a little bit more in Europe but not really mostly tied to genetically engineer crop development over the last 20 years and this is why we now have weeds that are resistant to glyphosate so the farmers are using more and more and more life to sate or combining it with other more dangerous chemicals and you just well wash in these pesticides because of this push by Monsanto and the other chemical companies for this unrestricted almost unlimited 'd use of this chemical and that's just it makes a lot of money for industry but it's it's been ridiculously dangerous and destructive to the environment and to human health departments are tracked the super reads emerge and months into cities here we've got this new version of the service side they lie to the farmers to make the farmers sign agreements wavey and the ability for the farmers to hold months into a. Hon I've seen some of these one sided contracts and before you know it what's going on in the industrial agriculture in our country comes down to this amazing finding and I ran across it a few years ago that the percent of crops in this country last 2 Tests is high if not higher than the percent that was lost in 1940 before they were in effect size so you basically months into creates its own burgeoning market by the resistance of the pests the resistance of the plants they create an even greater need for more fun and more virulent forms of pesticides and herbicides it is a vicious circle of lethality and that's what our children don't learn about in grade school and I screw We didn't learn about it in college I didn't learn about it in law school we don't learn about corporate crimes we don't learn about what's in your wonderful book whitewash the story of a weed killer cancer and a corruption of science Terry Gilliam So what do you want to leave our listeners with in terms of something they can do if they buy organic food do they scape some of this round what can he do is citizens how can they get to town meetings are going to get discussion groups underway around your book right well 1st read the book a number of grassroots organizations around the country are you know concerned moms and dads and citizens are you know by need to gather and talking in their city council members their 'd municipal leaders and their you know school district parks and officials and say hey we don't want this where our kids play we don't want this on our school grounds in our hearts and they're being successful people are listening you know talk to your lawmakers if you think that there's a chance there maybe if you are concerned maybe you don't buy roundup anymore maybe you look for other options and yes or. Gannicus does reduce your exposure to pesticide residues in food it's not a perfect system roundup is aggressive status found in organic honey by the f.d.a. For instance it's hard to escape it but I think if you're educated informed you can take steps to protect your family as you see fit right I mean that's what it's all about is education so that people can make informed decisions before we close Tell us a story of just McCall and Terry McAuliffe right so this is how I open my book with their story a really wonderful love story a beautiful farm and cambric California where they grew you know fruits and avocados and things and Terry is suffering now because Jack used rather that you didn't use any other pesticides but use Roundup extensively because he believed it to be so safe and came down with non Hodgkin lymphoma and died a pretty sudden and really painful death the day after Christmas and 2015 and so Terri is shared her story with me I spent time with our farm and it's it's it's really moving that she's only one of you know more than thousands of people who are now doing months and know for hiding the dangers of Roundup and life to say you say in your book that Jack didn't use pesticides you know or used roundup So you write cards just basically misled about a slow car to city but a month sent that was not right that is what all of these plaintiffs are alleging yes these thousands of people are alleging that Monsanto knew of these dangers and HIPAA dangers and they say the documents and if you look at them you know they seem to support that there are documents in which Montana's internal scientists say we can't say round up the safe we haven't done the tests we we can't say that and yet of course they have over and over and over for years and years and years and decades. Well we need to start by being aggressively discriminating consumers and then citizens and then buttonhole your town officials and don't give up when you see roundup being used near your homes the stuff you float it spreads it doesn't recognize boundaries talk to your public health officials it's to protect the children who are exceptionally sensitive to toxic exposures thank you very much Gary Gillum How can people reach you my website is a good resource that has my contacts Debbie Debbie Debbie Kerry go on dot com ca r u y j a l l a m dot com about e-mailing and phone numbers or you could also go to us right to know where I am research director that we did that us r t k dot org We have a newsletter and we update people on all the information and we have a great website where we put all the court documents like this the book is whitewash the story of a weed killer cancer in the corruption of science by Carey Gillam thoroughly documented and thoroughly in need of being read by all people who want to safe environment thank you very much Kerry go thank you thank you so much Ralph next year there was going to be an Obama regulation put into effect that would agree that that's the right to sue our credit card companies and financial institutions and on Tuesday Mike Pence cast the deciding vote that overturn this new regulation . Now I was done under the Congressional Review Act and it was a 5050 tie unfortunately as Senator John McCain Senator Susan Collins who should have voted against this override voted for it and now it's going to go to President Trump to son what it comes down to is it's going to block you from connecting with other people who are cheated in the same way by banks and credit card companies from having your full day in court right a trial by jury in other words they're slamming the courtroom door closed against you so these banks can continue their predatory practices when I asked some senator's aides recently why did Senator McCain and Senator Collins and other leaning Republican opponents Fuld and obey Senator McConnell It's because they were told the Republicans have to say they did something in 2017 did she need something if that something was worth even calling an achievement it was the destruction of the constitutional rights of people to have their day in court Jeff Flake and Bob Corker the firebrand standing up to trump folded to they folded to even know both of them are not running for reelection it's quite a remarkable inside story that is yet to be revealed but you heard it here on the Ralph Nader Radio Hour and that is our show I want to thank our guests again former f.c.c.

And you are listening to something's happening on. Featuring dynamite radio for night people Monday through Thursday night midnight to 6 am And coming up we're starting a mini series from 2 u.c. Radio with renegade economists. Kate Rae worth and Eleanor. And. A to u.c. Radio mini series on how to resist the demands of permanent economic growth and protect the earth Indigenous communities local agriculture and women it's in 6 parts and here in 6 parts of a half hour each and here are parts $12.00 and $3.00. Economists Marilyn Waring way worth and Alan Oster this is the beginning of 80 you see medio many theories on how to resist the demands of permanent economic growth and protect the earth and Digitas communities local agriculture and when he 1st is the archive edition County Maryland wearing on Sex Lies and global economics the. T.v. You see video time of useful consciousness. The more you smoke cigarettes all the more want to give automobile accidents the moral ground of increases. Now I be feeling unlikely having smashed my cat to come home and say doubting don't worry about it we've just contributed to the National Endowment. That's the voice of Marilyn Waring author off a book on women in the world economy and tattled if women counted to this day a press wastes of and vivid argument against and less economic growth at age 22 Marilyn wearing became the youngest member of the New Zealand parliament in her 2nd term she was appointed chair of the prestigious public expenditures committee there she became familiar with the gross domestic product system and decided to disclose its pathologies in a film her teachings at a university in Auckland and really her life as a feminist Economist After 9 years and Parliament wearing precipitated the 984 elections by threatening to vote for the opposition sponsored nuclear for a New Zealand legislation prime minister said that Waring's feminist anti-nuclear stance threatened his ability to govern men in the wearing resigned from Parliament and began traveling the world to explore how the fate of women and off the earth are irrevocably tied with the deadly pursuit of economic growth much of for quest as we counted in the 94 minute documentary by the Canadian filmmaker Terry Nash. This way Dio program presents over half of the soundtrack of the movie because in addition to being a beautiful film it is a compelling intriguing and they're intelligent explanation of the g.d.p. System and possible alternatives. Since released in 1906 the film had minimal exposure because the distributor charged so much However now it has finally become accessible online from the National Film Board of Canada us website w w w dot and f. The b. Dot c. a Marilyn wearing speaking at a public meeting in Canada but more to give automobile accident the more growth increases I want to run my household like that and I can't think like that I would consider that a loss you know I would kind of consider that a day but. A cost not a benefit. National Income accounting doesn't have a deal but side as long as the activity passes through the market it's good for growth Let me give you a very easy example. The Voyage of the exam that is. That exam l.d. Is is most likely the most productive or won't take a voyage even now on the face of the planet. Now it wouldn't simply loaded up its oil in Alaska and made its way down the East Coast and discharged into a bank it would have been a more moderate productive age in economic. But if you want to have fantastic right. It's a very good idea to Raimi a tank into an iceberg. And meet me there at the insurance cost and then you take this is right. Then there are the civil legal proceedings and the criminal legal sea. Immediately and this is a payment for the cleanup operation. Been down the way a little bit there around the compensations to fishing people. And compensations to the tourist industry. And of course there is the film the television rights the book the various newspaper and media exercises that go on a fantastically. Well take. It all added to growth nobody stood the air in seed deary me just last night will take a bit of Subtract that from the national income but you know. I think most economists place of affirmative value on being in comprehensible there's some exceptions to that John Kenneth Galbraith for instance writes comprehensibly But Marilyn because her goal is to be understood she understands very well that if people don't have the information they can't act on it and counter we've signed a free trade agreement with United States and Mexico we hear that it's a question of productivity this is going to be good for economies this is going to boost our g.n.p. We look across to Europe the same thing is happening in Europe the master treaty has signed and all these countries are saying well you know this will be great for be coming together this will be good for our economy it's how does someone like you react to that well it might change g.d.p. Figures but you're starting from the wrong premise I mean all of these decisions. Well based on the wrong figures in the 1st place the teen 20 years we've had these cliches we hit this rhetoric you know inside or outside discussions on free trade you tell us things are getting better it's perfectly obvious to us as ear is getting with us and our education systems are failing the poorest people there is more poverty there is more homeless as there are more housing crises and I suspect that the n.a.s. That is in Canada and in the United States and let me tell you in Mexico about NAFTA has to do with the fact that it doesn't matter what I say g.d.p. Might go up but you did pay is actually unrelated to the well being of the community it tells you nothing about liberals of poverty it tells you nothing about the distribution of poverty it tells you nothing about primary health care educational standards environmental cleanly ness and folks have realized that this was uni dimensional economic fabrication just doesn't bear any relationship to the lives. It's $975.00. International Women's here I was 22 years old and I put my name in sort of 6 weeks later with some hard. Is that I had just been chosen a candidate for a safe seat but I couldn't lose. On the board members of the House of Representatives you may hear today as members of the 38. Marilynn wearing his no nonsense approach to parliamentary politics being to respect early in just a 2nd term she was appointed chippers of the press to just public expenditure committee position for which she is criticism of the effectiveness of controls on government spending accountability of politicians and the did hand of bureaucracy. In a small country like New Zealand this is the so budget appropriations public accounts committee of a parliament so we review everything of into the whole $45.00 government ministries and departments and trading divisions. And I can still recall you know into changes when they were briefing me in my office and I they would teach me something and I would say but that's preposterous Well it's crazy or that's ludicrous and they would say to me already as it is but those are the rules and I couldn't believe that these enormous paradoxes pathologies that I was to governing were part of an international economic system I thought you know maybe it's just we make bad policy in New Zealand. Other countries started to invite me here is the geese and when you wouldn't be you could ask to see the Achaean people of Public Accounts Committee the treaty. The budget appropriations committee and I began to realise it's nothing to do with me the rules in the way. I developed very. Kind of bit was a personal technique which was in any community that I went into. I was introduced to a woman my. Tender I was a 14 year old who lived in the live in Zimbabwe and I'm interested in the the work days of young women because of the International Labor Organization that under 14 year olds don't work we're speaking a 16 to 18 hour day every day of the week and all of the activities that they are involved in and this time the cord they called nonproductive they called an economic These women are apparently. During these enormously filled days. I don't know what it is. But I'm doing. Stupid. Things for the children. In school and for the rest of the day and I got together and he's. Come back. Around 6 o'clock and. About how to get my name. Until sunset now one mosque. And the translator. And what do the men do. A man in the crowd. A man stands. To decide who were the cattle for the day and then he worries about how to get really bad I want to ensure that like. He it's perfectly obvious that the people who are visible to you as contributors to the economy other people who would be visible when you make policy and if you are not visible as a producer in a nation's economy then you're going to be invisible in the distribution of benefits and wherever I board was this was. The world situation. And that the so-called end of their working life because they didn't stop working. But at that point the government then says well not only have you been invisible but now you are wealthy now. Now you are a dependent on the state now you are one of our obligations I say you cut this extraordinary choice you go from being nobody to being a problem in spite of the fact that of all the people in the population you just worked at it than anybody else for all those who use except you probably didn't get paid for it. It's becoming part of a global situation I mean I'm able to make analogies between the unpaid rule women in good be sure in the Philippines and the woman bacon in my constituency whose work is also in principle. She too is economically inactive and economists record as an occupied bin is a highly trained member of the us military. His regular duty is to dissin to an underground facility where he waits with a colleague when I write this it was a collie but now due to drug abuse in the us military it's with 2 colleagues. I was at the time ordered to fire the sa. So skilled and effective has been if his colleague were to attempt to subvert it in order to fire bin would if all else failed big speak to to kill him to ensure a successful Messiah. Were trained so early in our recruiting freedom we take every month that simulators like this so that we actually do it it would be an almost automatic that. There would be time for any requests to return. Then isn't paid work. He is economically active. His work has been due and contributes as patent the new clean machine to the nation's. Wealth and product to pity. Since. The. New Zealanders had began to demonstrate against the visit of nuclear power would one u.k. Weapons building ships to sea. With a nuclear ships issue wasn't just a matter of not having nuclear weapons in New Zealand there's a whole question of sovereignty here on the open Wellington by treaty was prohibited to store disease transport. Nuclear weapons. This seem to me to be treated with at most contempt by so-called allies the United States who would draw ships up alongside. You know that with nuclear power or that would have nuclear arms. And so if we were to do anything the least and the only thing we could do was to ban them from. New Zealand from our territorial waters from design this. New Zealanders focus we keenly they didn't just feel it came as a peace issue they felt very strongly as an environmental issue. They should be no nuclear weapons inside the territory. Those were the woods of an impi they wouldn't take down and that was the conviction that led to the prime minister admitting he couldn't count on. Close to midnight and in high spirits the prime minister with the announcement that shocks the nation. By. Bringing the. Parliament by now just withdrew from the. Legislation and forced an election poster Nugent election. Guaranteeing her support. To the dissolution of parliament quite frankly I didn't agree with it. But it happened and you know you've got to respect their. Beliefs and democracy way that's a problem but you know one person like that can bring the government she had the majority of people. Were saying things. And that she had a reputation for being fearless and speaking her mind which I think was. Ordinary people appreciate that there's very much the election was put on nuclear free New Zealand and it was a resoundingly tree 72 percent of New Zealanders voted for it. When you walked across the floor you knew. That the government that was in power you were a member of could could for sure. It always amazed me that that's not what members of parliament realise I mean. The people thinking. It seemed to me I mean if you're elected to go represent the people you want to be really at any minute. To go on principle it's not a job for life. It a good. Time for. Me Everyone kept saying. Well. And if you want to. So I think. All. The beginning of a whole new. United Nations. By. The United States. Will. I mean. In a situation where. You know. The paragraph. Subsistence production and the consumption of their own produce by non-primary produces is a little important. So. You. Can. Take that to believe it's like a store that you know leaving things. To just explain what is in the role and what is real life. Chain that I keep thinking I'm still missing something. Again I say. To. Me right. Now just right. I'm very proud of that I have quite a few visits so now all are strong in my memory but I certainly remember her coming through a series where you have a long talk. About the role of women and economic system with a whole tendency in economics is to take the monetary accommodate the pick your inner ear. Not only as the basic thing to be measured if there isn't money involved if there isn't a place you don't measure it that leaves women's work in the household and a great deal of childcare so for out of the national accounts. It is a normal street productive work force for going to draw a month for the welfare of their economy a member growth of their economy the government. Are concerned with as indeed I would like to think I have. The system was developed by John Maynard Keynes and Richard Stone based on a pamphlet they wrote called literally the British national income and how to pay for the war. And this became the basis if national income accounting standing was thing recruited by the new United Nations Organization. To take the roles that he had. To. For something. He didn't really he just translated what was a system that suited the British. Into a neo colonial exercise for the whole world. By 953 a. Bit of roles. Including all the. Pain and. It's the United Nations system of national accounts and to a significant extent. All Masons must conform to these rules of economic nation and. The United Nations they cannot borrow from the World Bank security loans from the International Monetary Fund. Important decisions are made with these figures decisions which will determine whose need to make. Decisions on how to spend your take. Decisions on killing the planet. Decisions on how it will live or die. These measurements are highly selective. So what is included and excluded in the system. The system includes That was the voice of Marilyn Waring in a documentary film about her and her life entitled who's counting Sex Lies and global economics you heard pride. Wady a program based on that film directed by Terry Nash you can see this film online at the website off the National Film Board off Canada w w w dot and f b dot ca look for Marilyn wearing Marilyn Waring is an author from a member of the New Zealand Parliament and goat farmer since the film was released in the us and 1996 she has become professor of public policy at a u.t.

The Gross Domestic Product that and legit Lee measures well being with in the country however war and catastrophes deforestation and mining show up as beneficial for the economy under the g.d.p. . Then wearing form a New Zealand and p. Now Professor goat farmer explained this in her book counting for nothing she gave a 30 day at the University of Alberta Canada in Nov 26th teen Maryland wearing began by honoring the ancestors of the 1st Nations Peoples of New Zealand where she lives and Canada where she spoke did not kowtow here at the top cutoff let me begin by acknowledging the 1st Nations Peoples who have been the success of Guardians of the land of it Minton and the time to figure out here or New Zealand where I'm standing 30 years ago I was working on the final draft of my book counting to nothing in this I analyzed how gross domestic product g.d.p. Derived from something called the United Nations system of national accounts imposed an ideology of Applied patriarchy all the measurement of economic progress . While I was cheering the public expenditure Committee of the New Zealand Parliament I discovered that the system had a set of rules that excluded women's unpaid work of all kinds but all in train community work unpaid productive work reproductive quick subsistence work and household were from these accounts and these rules also excluded Eb you different ecosystem except of course when natural resources were Meindl forested or harvested the later depleted expected exploited at the same time this accounting framework it seemed to have no idea but side so as long as they were legal or illegal market transactions for example trafficking in people or drugs this was all good for growth Well I thought based its in a well to their base in a Rolls sounded very strange and I asked Trish free to get a copy of them for me after a week with sight they advised me that they didn't appear to be either the 953 or the 968 This isn't of the rules in New Zealand well in those years I labored under a little inferiority complex ways of being a stranger and I see it then please get them from a term Kendra and send the reply came back there's not a copy in Australia ita I had no idea I was asking for encyclopedic podiums telling many shelves of those of you who same Terry Nation movie who's counting Well remember when I can get into the library and confront those shelves but I did know there was something very odd abet an international city of rolls governing such a central aspect of economic decision making when nobody needed to read them. Well I retired from the New Zealand Parliament and interesting cecum stances a 984 and I decided I would go to New York to read Diggs volumes and I had no idea what lay ahead. I discovered a system which claimed that quote prime reproduction and the consumption of their own produce but I know one primary producers is of little or no importance in part. Well every woman I knew was classified as a non-primary producer in a war or some of your life wow is of little or no importance so these rolls a step Mr Bender your production to determine what was and what was not to be counted in the gross domestic product the g.d. Pay for that reason convenience the wrongs explained no one primary producers were described as a negative and unoccupied there was some sick has we've known minute trip production was recognized in the 1953 rules for example in every culture far astray hunting mining quarrying fishing rather obviously mostly stereotypical male with and the $968.00 revision this was expanded to include building and construction the Percy thing a primate product such as well better than. But the revision continued to exclude the carriage of water weighting of primary productive land crops which wasn't waste womens' with the collection of why or where or the manufacture done Petty's for fuel subsistence crop production and household activities. Well it was clear by 996 as I would on the bow was that moving the boundary of production was not reflected in the new construction of national income accounts to many races. The United Nations system of national accounts claimed its outstanding use has been in connection with public policy it also claimed that capita g.d.p. Was the very best indicator of economic well being as a parliamentarian I've represented a rural constituency in a so-called developed country budgetary investment in the agricultural sector was frequently justified on the basis of pig capital increases in production I knew none of this was accurate women and children were very had in my bro area and the pic kept her assumptions attributed only to the men of the household on the phone were seriously overstated and this data was sadly astray there was a 3rd of the Chinese in the Bantry production and 993. The production boundary was now pushed out to include the carriage of cup storage repairs to buildings if they were made by the. Wood carrying weaving baskets and Metz making clay pots and plates weaving kick start making furniture and dressmaking. Subsistence. And funeral services were excluded because they could not be resolved. The 9093 edition no longer boasted that the it's a NY and a right were crucial indicator of wellbeing I could tell my book had been influential but the wit to keeps the book turning was not counted the main categories of domestic services were excluded where in the we've had sanctions will be the people's are no may take for example among Golyer where they are out or have been wars some of which for example in Afghanistan I counted in my proto log 30 years ago where they have been made jet natural disasters such as Quake or with a resume or says to needed to conduct a valid and reliable data collection have never been available in the nation states of most of the Pacific we do not have g.d.p. Data that means anything experts from the Will Bank writing in 2015 describe the challenge of improving every cultural statistics will guide is daunting but when does the 6 continue to miss more hold or agricultural productivity we miss a k d to reducing poverty and enhancing food security. Well now we're all in the realm of the sustainable development goals the estate G's. And Target height of the estate js is quote to sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances and in particular at least 7 percent gross domestic product growth to enum in the least developed countries where I could flippantly say but I'm sure I'd be right if you measured the infirm and 61 given the difficulty achieving that but nothing would have changed you'll just have started seeing all the other half of the population doing the. The 1st indicator is a new growth rate of real g.d.p. Per capita the 2nd target is to achieve higher levels of economic productivity. The next indicator is Enya growth rate of real g.d.p. Employed person the commentry notes that quote The employment is to mature sensitive to under coverage of informal or underground activities the I alone has data on the share of informal employment for only $62.00 of at least $178.00 member countries of the aisle. What does all this nonsense about why doesn't someone tell the truth about the data that will be used to measure these goals recent work and the per by Action Aid has shown women working 15 and a half ounce a day and paid were subsistence farming collecting fuel and water housework food preparation cleaning and caring for children and adults in the same activities men with date has any spent more time than women sleeping and unself here.
