Since 1995, at least 67 countries carried out time use surveys. This includes 33 countries in the less developed regions

(c) Regions with many least developed countries

The work of UNU INTECH focuses on the industrially less developed regions of Europe to identify the similarities and differences in the appropriateness of technology policy and systems of innovation between these regions and the developing world.

Most countries in the less developed regions, excluding the least developed countries, also conducted a census during the same period. However, only about half reported vital statistics from civil registration systems with 90 per cent or better coverage.

Mortality decrease has been truly global, but life expectancy has risen more rapidly in the less developed regions than in the more developed regions, so that the gap between the two narrowed from 25.6 years in the early 1950s to 12.1 years in 1990 1995 (figure I). Today, their life expectancies are 62.1 years and 74.2 years, respectively.

Many of these industrial districts are located in labour surplus regions, employing less well trained labour.

Other regions ranged between 15 and 68 , possibly reflecting the presence of some well developed urban areas and some poorly developed rural areas.

Concise country guidebooks and rapid screening tools have been developed in some countries and regions.

55. The UNU INTECH project on National Systems of Innovation in Less Favoured European Regions is examining the development of technological capabilities in less favoured areas.

(f) Methodology for conducting the pilot in depth surveys and evaluation of potential units in different regions and subregions and their replication in other regions developed

The regional lists were originally developed independently without much concern about specifications used in other regions.

(c) Tests of the contents of heavy metals in foodstuffs in regions of intensively developed industries.

The less developed countries and their partners from the developed countries had a joint responsibility as key players in the development process.

Most of these developments had occurred in developed countries and the transfer of appropriate technology to less developed countries was considered desirable.

For example, less than 10 of people in the Caprivi and Ohangwena regions have access to toilet facilities, compared to over 80 of people in Erongo, Karas, and Khomas regions.

Furthermore, the growth rate in China s less developed eastern regions amounts to less than half of the national average. As a result, growth of industrial value added which contributes almost half of China s GDP is slowing even faster, from an average annual rate of 20 during China s boom years to less than 10 in 2010 2012 and just 7.8 in the first quarter of this year.

That included the necessary transfer of advanced space technology by the more developed countries to the less developed, to bridge the gap between them.

Comparing the trend across different regions, while all regions more or less followed the same path of switching from core to non core measures, the change was most dramatic in Africa.

Such responses have been received from all regions of the world, from the developed and developing countries alike.

Access how can electronic commerce be rendered accessible to all, and in particular to the less advanced regions of the world?

There is an outflow of capital from developing regions either to meet those rising costs or to be invested in the developed world, leaving those regions woefully short of capital for investment.
