Etats-Unis : comment seulement 158 familles financent la majorité de l’élection présidentielle. Elles sont quelques dizaines, ont fait fortune dans l’énergie ou la finance, sont inconnues du grand public et ont versé plus de la moitié des fonds levés jusqu’ici par les candidats à l’élection présidentielle : le New York Times a enquêté sur ces familles « à part », dont le portefeuille pèse sur la vie politique américaine.
Selon le décompte du quotidien américain, 158 familles ont donné 176 millions de dollars, soit près de la moitié des fonds levés jusqu’ici par les candidats : une concentration inédite depuis les années 1970. Ces familles sont évidemment loin d’être représentatives du foyer américain moyen et tirent majoritairement leur fortune de la finance, du secteur de l’énergie ou du divertissement.

In much of the world they still enjoy social and legal privileges simply because they have a Y chromosome. So it might seem odd to worry about the plight of men. Yet there is plenty of cause for concern.
One group in particular is suffering (see article). From nuclear families to fissile ones Those on the political left tend to focus on economics. Those on the right worry about the collapse of the family. Explicit cookie consent. FOR decades rich countries have sought to foster global development with aid.
But all too often there is little to show for their spending, now over $135 billion a year and rising. Success depends on political will in recipient countries, says Erik Solheim of the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries that includes the biggest donors. And that may well be lacking. What donors will pay for may not be what recipients deem a priority. So poor countries’ governments say what they must to get cash, and often fail to keep their side of the deal. Now donors are trying a new approach: handing over aid only if outcomes improve.
At the moment, donors fearful of theft or waste usually write detailed plans for how their money is to be spent and insist that they are followed to the letter. Obama to Limit Military-Style Equipment for Police Forces.
UAE´s population - by nationality. The ratio between expatriates and nationals in UAE is one of the highest in the world, with Emiratis accounting for about only 11% of the population in the country.
Similarly to its neighbors in the GCC, UAE is relying heavily on foreign labor to keep its projects and economy running. Alongside Qatar, the country has the highest percentage of immigrants in relation to its own citizens, with the later amounting to about only 10% of the total population.

Our decision to insist on Embassy data stems from the fact that we tried to attain as “official” information as possible and to create a common ground which equates all the sources.
