If they're slightly skewed, we'll see a different image.

It has critically hobbled and skewed Africa apos s development.

We are concerned at the increasingly skewed institutional balance within the Organization.

Distribution by country is highly skewed, Turkish nationals accounting for nearly 32 per cent of the arrested heroin traffickers (see figure 3).

The current skewed power structures in the world body cannot be condoned on any conceivable grounds of democracy.

Two late tries may have skewed the final result somewhat, but there is no doubt Ayr deserved to triumph in this wonderfully entertaining Tennent's Premiership match of the day.

The regional picture of trafficking derived from seizure data, shown in figure 7, has been consistently highly skewed towards the Americas.

Economic justice providing people with a fair reward for their economic activity, without exploitation or excessively skewed income and wealth distribution

So, think about it this way if you've got an artificial constraint, artificial constraints lead to arbitrary distinctions and a skewed worldview.

The distribution of gains from increases in both trade and foreign direct investment remains very skewed, with a few getting the most.

The right place to start to address it is by creating a better balance between education and commercial disinformation. But food is so addictive, and the environment so skewed toward unhealthy outcomes, that it is time to think about broader government intervention.

The ceiling skewed the principle of capacity to pay by conferring a benefit on the wealthiest contributor, the burden of which was borne by the others.

If Japan s status quo is to change, the country s oddly skewed relationship with the US is one key factor. Too much dependence on American power has warped the development of Japanese democracy in ways that are not always sufficiently recognized by the US.

However, that situation, which was irregular in any case, violated the provisions of the Charter and skewed the Department apos s orientation in favour of developed countries.

But at the margin, economic growth is heavily skewed toward exports and fixed investment as the primary means of absorbing surplus labor and spreading prosperity. In a post crisis world impaired by America s zombie consumers export led Asia is in serious need of a pro consumption rebalancing.

While globalization offers new opportunities, it also causes new global problems and deepens the inequalities embedded in the world order. It is no longer possible to sustain the current world order, which, based as it is on a skewed notion of center periphery relations, merely produces injustice and inequality.

The MTR results in the health and education sectors referred only to UNICEF interventions without linkages to national initiatives, giving a somewhat skewed picture of the overall impact of the programme.

Put differently, in a winner take all world, raising the average level of skills or education does nothing to alter the skewed distribution of income. So, will anything prevent inequality from widening?

VI.14 Concerning imbalances in the geographical distribution of OHCHR staff, which is heavily skewed towards one group of contributing Member States, the Advisory Committee was informed that OHCHR is committed to correcting this imbalance and to ensuring that the staff composition reflects the cultural diversity of the population it serves.

If African products are forced to compete in markets skewed toward European and American producers, Africans do not have a fair chance to develop. The issue of trade barriers speaks directly to the question of whether there is a genuine international commitment to Africa s development.

Unfortunately, Greece resembles Argentina in two key respects. Both countries have only a small export sector, which makes external adjustment much more difficult and both have an export structure that is skewed toward commodities, the supply of which is unlikely to change much, even as structural reforms are pursued or wages decline.

While tens of millions of Chinese young people display impressive innate abilities, the country s system of higher education does an abysmal job cultivating their talents. For most, the curriculum is largely obsolete, and skewed toward rote learning of theory at the expense of basic analytical and critical thinking skills.

China is aging very rapidly, and its working age population will begin to shrink within a few years. Relaxing the one child policy might have some positive impact in the very long run, but China is already past the tipping point, pushed there by the combined effect of gender imbalance and a very skewed age structure.

If resource allocation is skewed toward physical capital at the expense of accumulating human capital for which adequate consumption is indispensable economic growth would be more likely to slow than rise. So China should reduce the growth rate of investment and increase that of consumption, allowing the investment rate to settle at a more sustainable level.

By demanding quantifiable results, donors may force program managers to choose easily achieved targets over less measurable actions that accord with sound humanitarian principles. Or reporting about aid programs may be skewed to keep donor funds flowing.

It must be pointed out, however, that tabulating the nationality of consultants and institutions only on the basis of whether they come from a developing or developed country provides a skewed view of participation in UNU activities.

Even if the imbalances were sustainable, or could be adjusted in a smooth manner, the magnitude and skewed distribution of the imbalances suggest a less than efficient and equitable allocation of global resources between developed and developing countries.

Income distribution has skewed in favor of the rich for too long, and the government has failed to provide decent public goods. With the contrast between the opulent lifestyle of the rich and the slow improvement of living conditions for the poor fomenting social tension, a serious backlash is in the making.

Expressing its concern also that the prevalence of project personnel has skewed the geographical distribution of the staff of the Office towards Western Europe and North America, compared to the Secretariat wide pattern, as has the geographical distribution of consultants,

However, the Committee points out that the vacancy rates may be skewed favourably to some extent as a result of the transfer of large numbers of General Service staff to the Department of Safety and Security during the 2004 2005 biennium.

In addition to frequently imposing unfavourable terms of trade, economic activities that were strongly skewed towards extractive industries and primary commodities for export stimulated little demand for steady and widespread improvements in the skills and educational levels of the workforce.

LONDON Most economists have a reason to be worried about China s economy whether it be low consumption and large external surpluses, industrial overcapacity, environmental degradation, or government interventions like capital controls or financial repression. What many fail to recognize is that these are merely the symptoms of a single underlying problem China s skewed growth model.

Across the board upgrading of human capital will improve income distribution both directly and indirectly (by reducing the supply of lower skill workers relative to demand). It will also (partly) mitigate the concentration of wealth that results from a highly skewed income distribution.

That is, the markets have been more vulnerable to sudden large drops than they have been to sudden large increases. Daily stock price changes for the 100 business day period ending August 3 were unusually negatively skewed in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the United States and the United Kingdom.

A number of social problems such as overcrowding, housing shortages and an increase in the number of female headed households have resulted from this skewed pattern of development.7 Information on social conditions in the Territory is contained in previous working papers prepared by the Secretariat (see A AC.109 1185, paras. 57 72, and A AC.109 2015, paras. 28 32).

In 2010, the IMF made a play for resurrection, presenting itself as central to solving the euro crisis beginning with its role in financing the Greek bailout. But here, too, a secret history has been revealed one that highlights just how skewed global monetary governance has become.

In a democracy like India s, the politically well connected benefit from skewed growth, thus increasing the resentment of those left behind. The opportunity to throw the rascals out in each election cycle helps to let off some steam, but it does not resolve the problems that are generating it.

Specifically, in the view of the United States, the 1975 mandate establishing the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the 1977 mandate establishing the Division for Palestinian Rights within the Secretariat perpetuate a skewed and biased approach to the Middle East conflict.

The comparable figures for Shi ites were 10 and 14 , respectively, but were just 4 and 5 , respectively, for Sunnis. The results for extreme pessimism were skewed in the opposite direction 14 of Sunnis thought things were as bad as could be, while only 2 of Kurds and 3 of Shi ites shared this opinion.

Worse, this portrayal implies that little can be done to mitigate, or even prevent, such occurrences. But the longer term trends driving such tragedies including demographic shifts, inadequate legal routes to Europe, poor governance and economic prospects in origin countries, and skewed public perceptions of refugees and migrants can, to various degrees, be addressed.

Another consequence of China s skewed growth model has been a decline in household income as a share of GDP, from 70 in 1990 to 60 in 2009, whereas in the US, for example, the ratio has remained stable, at around 80 of GDP. In other words, Chinese households are missing out on the benefits of economic growth.

If things are left as they are, writes Watanabe, a skewed perception of history without knowledge of the horrors of the war will be handed down to future generations. It would be an immensely encouraging sign of China s growing maturity if its leaders used this moment to look beyond the bitter past toward a new future with Japan.

But, more broadly, as Dennis Lockhart, President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, said last week at a public conference organized by his institution, we should not seek to operate a system based on the principle of private gains and public losses. And these losses are massively skewed in ways that are grossly inefficient, in addition to being completely unfair.

China s income distribution has become highly skewed at 0.438, the Gini coefficient, which measures income inequality, puts the country closer to the United States than to northern Europe s egalitarian societies (with the exception of the United Kingdom). And the unjust allocation of resources, which has enriched so many politically well connected individuals and families, has become more difficult to bear.

As China shifts its economic model away from heavy infrastructure investment and bulk manufacturing, many of these small industrial cities will lose their core industry. This will happen at a time when the country s skewed demographics causes the workforce to shrink and the flow of migration from rural areas to cities to slow (the rural population now disproportionately comprises the elderly).
