On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the OECD Development Centre launched Wikigender, the Organisation’s first wiki for sharing and exchanging information on gender equity. The site is freely accessible to the public, who are invited to actively use this new on-line resource. Finding information, creating an account and contributing a new article are just a couple of clicks away.

| 2 Days-2 Countries: International Workshop on Migration |
The Policy Coherence group presented its flagship publication on “Migration and Developing Countries” in a 2-day/2-country workshop at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte (Tijuana/Mexico) and the University of California (San Diego/USA). The impact of international labour mobility on economic progress is particularly relevant in the US/Mexican context. Close to 12 million Mexicans currently live in the United States, representing more than 10% of the Mexican population.

Does polygamy matter for savings? Do family ties make it easier or harder to invest? This paper uses data from China, Indonesia, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana to study how cultural practices (polygamy, extended families, child fostering) change the geometry of households and their incentives to save and invest.
