It aligns with AI ethics guidelines set forth by UNESCO and Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT. The charter states: “LOTTE shall adhere to proper conduct and ethical values in all AI processes to contribute to a richer life for humanity.”</p><p>LOTTE is actively carrying out AI initiatives across the group to strengthen its core competitiveness. Key areas of focus include purchasing and production, sales, marketing, and customer management. Last year, LOTTE’s chemical affiliates worked on AI projects in procurement and production. For instance, LOTTE Chemical developed an AI-based color-matching simulation system for synthetic resins that improved daily productivity by 50%. LOTTE Fine Chemical established a system for analyzing raw material trends and predicting contract prices, enhancing efficiency in cost management and procurement.</p><p>The use of the Group’s AI platforms is also expanding. Aimember, a secure internal generative AI platform, is now used over 150,000 times per month, offering a secure alternative to public AI tools. Capitalizing on this demand, LOTTE Innovate launched an external version of the service and signed supply contracts with six IT solution companies in April. Key to the product’s success were features tailored for work tasks, such as automated meeting minutes and report generation, backed by usage data accumulated since its launch in October 2023. Other platforms like AIMS for marketing planning and SMARTLION for data integration are also being adopted by more affiliates.</p><p>Jong-nam Park, Head of LOTTE Corporation’s AI Innovation TF Team, stated, “As AI is being adopted more across the Group, potential risks such as misinformation, data leaks, and human rights violations may also increase.

3197192	无图 <p>How can women benefit from private sector development? The answers may not be as straightforward as you would think.</p><p>In many low-income countries, the expansion of the private sector has been an important driver for economic transformation. But it can also play a crucial role in improving women’s access to education, employment, and financial independence. </p><p>In a recent report commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, CMI researchers Viola Asri, Magnus Hatlebakk and Espen Villanger delve into the world of private sector development interventions. Their review of existing research explores how such interventions can benefit women in low-income countries, and how this is linked to reducing poverty and inequality. The report ends with a review of empirical evidence on the effectiveness of interventions.</p><p>Context matters</p>There is widespread agreement that private sector development interventions, like establishing industrial parks or microfinance programmes, can have the potential to support women in low-income countries. When reaching the intended target groups, such interventions—especially through government-supported initiatives—can improve access to capital, training, and employment opportunities for women. Big-push interventions that provide women with assets and skills, like farming equipment or training—also called the Ultra poor program or graduation approach—, have been successful in reducing poverty and increasing wages, particularly in rural areas. However, women face structural disadvantages: In many societies, they lack access to capital and decision-making and face restrictive social norms. In some cases, if the specific context is not taken into consideration, interventions may even backfire. The team of researchers behind the review emphasizes that interventions must be guided by a gendered and contextualised lens if they are to give women more and sustainable opportunities.</p><p>-Empowering women requires interventions that go beyond economic factors. For such interventions to be successful, they must also integrate social, cultural, and institutional dimensions in an effort to address gender inequalities in a holistic perspective, says Viola Asri, Senior Researcher at CMI. </p><p>In their report, the researchers take a close look at the importance and success of a wide range of different factors and interventions:</p>Intra-household relations and interventions: Intra-household power dynamicsplay acrucial role in shaping theoutcomes of interventions aimed atempowering women, but without strengthening women"s bargaining power within the household, there is a risk that economic support, like cash grants, will be appropriated by male family members. Intervention design must focus on building assets that women control, especially human capital like education, vocational skills, and self-confidence. These intangible assets are not easily seized by others hence they have a lasting impact on women"s autonomy and decision-making power.Job creation in labour-intensive industries: The establishment of industrial parks has become a popular policy to generate employment opportunities, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, this measure has expanded female employment in labour-intensive industries dramatically. In some factories, women comprise up to 74% of workers. While these jobs have had positive effects on poverty reduction and created new income opportunities for women, the impact on women"s empowerment has been mixed. Research has shown that having one of these jobs did not give women more autonomy. It has also pointed to poor working conditions, low wages, occupational hazards, and quick turnover. In other words, for such policies to really empower women, more attention must be given to improved working conditions and workplace safety.Smallholder agriculture: Most people living in extreme poverty in rural Africa are small-scale farmers. Although women do less farm labour than men, they carry a heavy load of unpaid domestic work that is vital to household wellbeing. Interventions that reduce women"s domestic burdens, like improving access to clean water, can free up time for them to engage more in farming and other income-generating activities. Supporting crops and livestock traditionally managed by women, such as vegetables or small animals, can increase their influence in household decisions, improve family nutrition, and strengthen their economic position. To be effective, farming interventions must take the local context and gender dynamics into account.Financial inclusion and microfinance: Microfinance and financial services like loans, savings accounts, and mobile payments can empower women. Such interventions can help women manage money, invest in education, or start small businesses, boosting their independence and role in family decisions. But access and control are keys to success when it comes to empowering women: In some contexts, or situations, male relatives or husbands tend to take control of the money. Programs that include gender-focused training or give women more control over their income tend to be more successful in empowering women.Entrepreneurship development programs and job skills training: Lack of access to education and business experience is a crucial barrier to women’s empowerment and decision-making power in low-income countries. Tailored programmes that teach practical business practices or provide vocational training have shown promise, leading to better job access and higher incomes for women. Yet, the programs that are more successful are programs that go beyond mere technical skills by also including for example mentoring, support for childcare or transport, and help build entrepreneurial mindsets. Such programs are especially effective because they are designed with challenges like rigid gender roles or limited social networks in mind.Primary, secondary, and tertiary education: Despite global progress, gender gaps in education persist, especially in secondary and tertiary levels. Evidence shows that returns to education are often higher for women than men, particularly in Africa and Latin America, suggesting that investment in girls’ education can be especially impactful. Securing access to education for girls and young women in low-income countries is vital for both individual and societal development. Education equips women with basic skills necessary for employment and entrepreneurship, enabling them to earn higher incomes, improve working conditions, and contribute meaningfully to economic growth. Ensuring girls’ and young women’s access to education is crucial on a wide variety of levels. It delays early marriage and childbirth, improves women’s autonomy, and foster long-term development benefits for future generations. Some of the most effective strategies to improve girls’ access to education are to remove the financial barriers, and to make it easier to get to school and home from school. The review of existing research also shows that there is still a long way to go when it comes to the quality of education. <p>Big potential, but be aware of the pitfalls</p>Concluding the research review, the CMI researchers Viola Asri, Magnus Hatlebakk and Espen Villanger again stress that private sector development interventions have a big potential, but that multifaceted, context-specific interventions are required. While women are active in smallholder farming, informal sector businesses, and formal sector jobs, the challenges they face differ across these sectors. </p><p>-This wide range of occupations and challenges means that basically any development intervention may affect female employment and may or may not empower women. For example, any intervention that eases the burden of domestic work, such as access to electricity or drinking water, is likely to free up women’s time and increase female employment, says Magnus Hatlebakk, Senior Researcher at CMI.</p><p>The report also points to the importance of not straying from the ultimate goal of empowering poor women. Understanding the local context is essential for designing interventions that resonate with women’s experiences and challenges</p><p>-Experiences from the textile factories in Ethiopia, for example, or from providing women with equipment or money, show us that some of the measures originally thought to empower women can fail or even backfire. The final objective must be to empower women, and for that to happen, any measure that is to be successful must consider the norms, attitudes, and constraints that prevail in each different context, says Espen Villanger, Director at CMI. </p> Women and the private sector: Progress, pitfalls, and the importance of context	查看 8698	克里斯蒂安·米谢尔森研究所	2025-05-22 00:00:00 2025-07-04 03:57:07	word

3197190	无图 Abstract<p>Ensuring compliance with the Value Added Tax (VAT) is a major challenge for tax administrations in many low- and lower-middle income countries (LLMICs). The selfenforcing nature of the VAT often breaks down at the point of sale to the final consumer. Receipt lotteries have been introduced as a tool to incentivize customers to request formal receipts for their purchases, thereby strenghtening enforcement. However, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of such lotteries remains limited. In collaboration with the Tanzania Revenue Authority, we implemented a receipt lottery and evaluated its effects using a combination of administrative tax data and original survey data. The administrative data show that the lottery led to significant increases in recorded sales and VAT liability among VAT registered firms. The survey data reveals that the customers are well aware of the lottery and respond by requesting receipts more frequently. However, firms often counter this increased demand by printing fewer receipts when customers do not explicitly request them, partially mitigating the lottery’s effects.</p> Improving VAT compliance by incentivizing customers: Evidence from Tanzania	查看 1125	克里斯蒂安·米谢尔森研究所	2025-01-01 00:00:00 2025-07-04 03:57:07	word
3197189	无图 <p>by Datuk Dr Pamela Yong</p><p>Chairman of Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (INSAP)</p><p>The N48 Ayer Kuning by-election on April 26 is more than a race to fill a vacant state seat, it is a reflection of Malaysia’s political undercurrents and a gauge of shifting sentiments among the Malay majority, the Chinese electorate, and the national coalition landscape. Though affecting only one constituency in Perak, its impact is national in scope.</p><p>Local Contest, National Symbolism</p><p>What may seem like a local affair is, in fact, a symbolic battleground for competing national narratives. UMNO, representing Barisan Nasional (BN), seeks to hold its ground, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) and its PAS candidate aim to capture more Malay support. The decision by Pakatan Harapan (PH) to back the BN candidate under the Unity Government framework further reinforces the national relevance of this by-election.</p><p>This by-election will test the Perak BN’s grassroots cohesion. Can BN and PH supporters work together on the ground? A win would suggest a functioning alliance; a loss, especially to PN, would boost the opposition’s momentum and raise questions about the coalition’s durability.</p><p>The Shifting Malay Ground</p><p>One of the most closely watched aspects is the mood among Malay voters. Ayer Kuning is a predominantly Malay constituency, making the contest over the Malay vote especially crucial. Election data in recent elections suggest that PAS has made inroads in Ayer Kuning, gaining traction with conservative and younger Malay voters. With the by-election held shortly after Hari Raya, turnout will be critical. Mobilisation efforts by each coalition may determine the outcome.</p><p>Plus, youth sentiment is leaning toward PAS’s moral and anti-establishment narrative. BN and PH must not ignore this generational shift. Young voters want clarity, consistency, and leaders who engage with them meaningfully, not recycled slogans. This coming by-election is a moment to recalibrate political outreach to youth through policy relevance and rebuild authentic and meaningful connections.</p><p>Equally important, this by-election must transcend the usual 3R (race, religion, royalty) rhetoric. While both the government and opposition may be tempted to exploit these sentiments for short-term gain, especially on Malay ground, doing so risks further polarising society and stalling national progress. Ayer Kuning voters deserve a forward-looking, inclusive campaign that focuses on governance, development, and genuine leadership, not identity politics.</p><p>Navigating the Chinese Support</p><p>Much like the post-Raya turnout dip among Malay voters, Chinese voters may also hesitate to return for polling day due to the Qing Ming Festival on April 4. Many outstation Chinese, particularly young salaried workers, would have made their trip home in late March or early April, making a return for the by-election at the end of April seem inconvenient. By-elections, which usually draw less interest, may further dampen turnout.</p><p>On top of that, recent political and socioeconomic developments may influence the overall mood within the Chinese community. While there are rising expectations of the Unity Government after slightly over two years in power, some Chinese voters may feel that more could be done to address their expectations. It is no surprise that this sentiment would be reflected or manifested to some extent in the local Chinese community. The key would be navigating through the sentiment, which should be acknowledged and addressed thoughtfully by BN and fellow campaign partners through strategic and responsive engagement.</p><p>Chinese voters, who comprise 21.1% of the Ayer Kuning electorate, could play a decisive role or kingmaker, especially when tense competitions are expected in Malay ground. While this presents a challenge, it also offers an opportunity. If BN, alongside the Unity Government, can provide credible assurances, genuine policy engagement, and a respectful stance toward their concerns, Chinese voters may be swayed. BN’s groundwork, paired with MCA’s grassroots presence, could be pivotal in securing the necessary support in the upcoming by-election.</p><p>BN’s Model of Harmony in Action</p><p>Ayer Kuning, a state constituency contested by UMNO, alongside Chenderiang which is currently represented by MCA Assemblyman YB Choong Shin Heng, falls under the Tapah parliamentary constituency, which is held by MIC Deputy President YB Datuk Seri M. Saravanan. This unique composition of one parliamentary and two state seats represented by three different BN component parties—UMNO, MCA, and MIC, embodies the spirit of political unity, harmony, mutual understanding, and effective governance.</p><p>It serves as a good example of the multiracial and moderate political model that BN has long championed. With sincere commitment and strategic groundwork, Ayer Kuning holds the potential to become a national model of political moderation and cross-cultural cooperation.</p><p>Battling Political Apathy</p><p>Another key challenge is rising political apathy. While the electoral roll has grown, turnout has not matched this increase. Disillusionment and fatigue, especially among urban and swing voters, pose a serious threat to voter engagement.</p><p>Mobilisation will be a deciding factor in this tight contest. Traditional campaign tactics alone may no longer suffice. Voters must be reached where they are, physically and emotionally. Emphasising good governance, stability, and future-focused messaging will likely resonate more than old-style politicking.</p><p>A Microcosm of National Politics</p><p>Ayer Kuning by-election encapsulates Malaysia’s broader political evolution. The contest raises important questions: What kind of leadership do Malaysians want? Are we still bound to ethnic champions, or can we move toward inclusive statesmanship?</p><p>It is time for politicians to rise above communalism. Representing Malaysians as a whole, not just specific racial groups, this must be the next chapter of our democratic journey. Only through this shift can we overcome the divisions that have long hindered national progress.</p><p>Beyond the Ballot Box</p><p>Ultimately, the Ayer Kuning by-election is not just about who wins. It is a moment for voters to reflect on the kind of Malaysia they envision, one anchored in democratic values, inclusivity, and effective governance.

But in doing so, it risks overlooking deeper vulnerabilities in our economic structure, especially in the realm of food imports and household food access.</p><p>For a country that imported over RM75.6 billion in food in 2022, according to Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), this new tax regime could be a costly misstep.</p><p>20250612-INSAP-Commentary-Taxing-What-We-Cannot-Grow-FINAL-1Download</p> INSAP COMMENTARY: TAXING WHAT WE CANNOT GROW – WHY THE SST EXPANSION THREATENS FOOD SECURITY & TRADE CREDIBILITY - Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (INSAP)	查看 881	战略分析与政策研究所	2025-06-12 15:02:49 2025-07-04 03:46:48	word

That is why the public backlash to recent revelations about the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) mobile data request has been swift and entirely justified.</p><p>According to local and international media reports, such as The Edge Malaysia and South China Morning Post, MCMC issued directives to five major telcos requesting mobile phone metadata for the first quarter of 2025. The fields listed include anonymised user IDs (MSISDN), precise date and time stamps, base station identifiers, GPS coordinates, data type (calls or internet), service type (2G – 5G) and mobile country code. On paper, names or Identity Card (IC) numbers were excluded but in practice, metadata is never truly anonymous.</p><p>20250617-INSAP-Commentary-Mobile-Data-Grab-Not-Harmless-FINALDownload</p> INSAP Commentary: GOVERNMENT’S MOBILE PHONE DATA GRAB IS NOT HARMLESS AND MALAYSIANS DESERVE A SAY - Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (INSAP)	查看 975	战略分析与政策研究所	2025-06-19 16:20:38 2025-07-04 03:46:48	word
