@Wesamqaid was more than my husband; he was my best friend, my soulmate, and the greatest inspiration of my life. He lived as a rare example of honesty and unwavering commitment.

I always get asked why I stayed in #Yemen When the Yemen conflict started most of my friends and family left the country. When I meet people like Azeeza I know I made the right decision to stay. I feel so blessed and honoured to have contributed a little in making a difference. twitter.com/SMEPSYEMEN/sta…

@faizahsulimani @Wesamqaid My deepest condolences to you, Faizah

You said once, " will work for development from the bottom of our heart to the end." we didn't expect that ya @Wesamqaid
I am still in shock and can't believe that he is gone 😢

I’ve always wondered why people like him choose to stay on in places and jobs that pose such credible dangers. “Commitment” doesn’t even begin to describe why.
I found an answer in Wesam’s pinned tweet.
Rest in peace, my friend. We will miss you. 🇾🇪

On a personal level, I always found Wesam kind, encouraging, and curious, never shy to engage the big questions, and never one to give up in the face of the biggest challenges.

In some horrific, and tragic news from Yemen today, I learned that my friend and former World Bank counterpart at the Yemen Social Fund for Development, @Wesamqaid was abducted and later found dead in Aden.

• If research ethics evolve over time and some practices are deemed inappropriate, is it still ok to keep using such data?
Keen to hear what you think.

• Are there other, better ways of assessing a conventional sense of attractiveness that don’t impose an adult’s (sexualised?) gaze on minors? Can photos be used to have other, distantly located adolescents assess such “attractiveness” based on their own (peer) standards?
English
🧵 1/n
I recently came across a paper linking (adolescent) “attractiveness” to sexual violence perpetration. It led me down a path I didn’t expect.

What do workers at the margin of informality value at work?
We surveyed 700 residents of Brazil's largest favela complex to find out, using open-ended questions and discrete choice experiments. Joint work with Beatriz Marcoje, @iedarm, and @rodmclara.
Here's what we learned. A thread 👇:

What happens when aspirations outpace opportunity? 🇲🇲📊
Our new report shows Myanmar’s high-skilled youth aiming high despite declining job prospects, underemployment. Nearly half are considering migration. The real risk: losing a generation’s potential.

@UsmanAl30087480 @ShekharGupta Somewhat later "neck and neck" when using GDP per capita at constant prices, but acceleration since the 2000s unmissable. Also visible catch-up and overtaking in labour productivity.

@ShekharGupta Staggering Per Capita data, Shekhar ji In 1990, India & Pakistan were neck-and-neck at ~$370. Today, India (~$2700) is nearly 70% ahead of Pakistan (~$1600)
A powerful testament to how the synergy of Democracy & Open Markets is the ultimate game-changer. Great viz, Christopher

Very interesting... thank you for posting this..
is this in a published paper it article? Or are you doing one?
Will be fascinating if one is also done on per capita basis.

I've tried to visualize this data several different ways over the years, but I think this version does an especially good job of showing the transition that took place with the twin economic liberalizations of first Rajiv Gandhi and then (more enduringly) Narasimha Rao.

@ShekharGupta Plotted a quick chart using World Development Indicators data for GDP per capita PPP (i.e., adjusting $ for what it can buy in the two countries) . Original data downloadable at databank.worldbank.org/source/world-d…
