  • Gender gaps in urban mobility

    Nature | Humanities and Social Sciences Communications

    Mobile phone data have been extensively used to study urban mobility. However, studies based on gender-disaggregated large-scale data are still lacking, limiting our understanding of gendered aspects of urban mobility and our ability to design policies for gender equality. Here we study urban mobility from a gendered perspective, combining commercial and open datasets for the city of Santiago, Chile. We analyze call detail records for a large cohort of anonymized mobile phone users and reveal a…

    Mobile phone data have been extensively used to study urban mobility. However, studies based on gender-disaggregated large-scale data are still lacking, limiting our understanding of gendered aspects of urban mobility and our ability to design policies for gender equality. Here we study urban mobility from a gendered perspective, combining commercial and open datasets for the city of Santiago, Chile. We analyze call detail records for a large cohort of anonymized mobile phone users and reveal a gender gap in mobility: women visit fewer unique locations than men, and distribute their time less equally among such locations. Mapping this mobility gap over administrative divisions, we observe that a wider gap is associated with lower income and lack of public and private transportation options. Our results uncover a complex interplay between gendered mobility patterns, socio-economic factors and urban affordances, calling for further research and providing insights for policymakers and urban planners.

  • Migrant mobility flows characterized with digital data

    PLUS ONE

    Monitoring migration flows is crucial to respond to humanitarian crisis and to design efficient policies. This information usually comes from surveys and border controls, but timely accessibility and methodological concerns reduce its usefulness. Here, we propose a method to detect migration flows worldwide using geolocated Twitter data. We focus on the migration crisis in Venezuela and show that the calculated flows are consistent with official statistics at country level. Our method is…

    Monitoring migration flows is crucial to respond to humanitarian crisis and to design efficient policies. This information usually comes from surveys and border controls, but timely accessibility and methodological concerns reduce its usefulness. Here, we propose a method to detect migration flows worldwide using geolocated Twitter data. We focus on the migration crisis in Venezuela and show that the calculated flows are consistent with official statistics at country level. Our method is versatile and far-reaching, as it can be used to study different features of migration as preferred routes, settlement areas, mobility through several countries, spatial integration in cities, etc. It provides finer geographical and temporal resolutions, allowing the exploration of issues not contemplated in official records. It is our hope that these new sources of information can complement official ones, helping authorities and humanitarian organizations to better assess when and where to intervene on the ground.

  • Monitoring of the Venezuelan exodus through Facebook’s advertising platform

    PLOS ONE

    Venezuela is going through the worst economical, political and social crisis in its modern history. Basic products like food or medicine are scarce and hyperinflation is combined with economic depression. This situation is creating an unprecedented refugee and migrant crisis in the region. Governments and international agencies have not been able to consistently leverage reliable information using traditional methods. Therefore, to organize and deploy any kind of humanitarian response, it is…

    Venezuela is going through the worst economical, political and social crisis in its modern history. Basic products like food or medicine are scarce and hyperinflation is combined with economic depression. This situation is creating an unprecedented refugee and migrant crisis in the region. Governments and international agencies have not been able to consistently leverage reliable information using traditional methods. Therefore, to organize and deploy any kind of humanitarian response, it is crucial to evaluate new methodologies to
    measure the number and location of Venezuelan refugees and migrants across Latin America. In this paper, we propose to use Facebook’s advertising platform as an additional data source for monitoring the ongoing crisis. We estimate and validate national and sub-national numbers of refugees and migrants and break-down their socio-economic profiles to further understand the complexity of the phenomenon. Although limitations exist, we believe that the presented methodology can be of value for real-time assessment of refugee and migrant
    crises world-wide

  • How Search Engine Data Enhance the Understanding of Determinants of Suicide in India and Inform Prevention: Observational Study

    Journal of Medical Internet Research

    This paper leverages private-sector search engine data toward gaining a fuller, more accurate picture of the suicide issue among young people in India. By combining official statistics on suicide with data generated through search queries, this paper seeks to: add an additional layer of information to more accurately represent the magnitude of the problem, determine whether search query data can serve as an effective proxy for factors contributing to suicide that are not represented in…

  • Trends in the Adoption of Corporate Child Labor Policies: An Analysis with Bloomberg Terminal ESG Data

    Bloomberg Data for Good Exchange Conference

    Over 150 million children worldwide are estimated to be engaged in some form of child labor, with nearly one in every four children between the ages of 5 and 14 engaged in potentially harmful work in the world’s poorest countries. Child labor compromises children’s physical, mental, social and educational development. It also reinforces cycles of poverty, negatively affecting the ecosystem necessary for business to thrive in a sustainable manner. Against a backdrop of multiple international and…

    Over 150 million children worldwide are estimated to be engaged in some form of child labor, with nearly one in every four children between the ages of 5 and 14 engaged in potentially harmful work in the world’s poorest countries. Child labor compromises children’s physical, mental, social and educational development. It also reinforces cycles of poverty, negatively affecting the ecosystem necessary for business to thrive in a sustainable manner. Against a backdrop of multiple international and national laws against child labor, corporations also adopt policies on child labor. However, new
    methods of globally dispersed production have made this commitment to sustainability issues across supply chains more challenging. In this work we examine, through the lens of Bloomberg’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) and financial data, trends in corporate child labor
    policies and their relationship to classic economic variables as a first step in understanding sustainability issues across global supply networks.

  • A Research Roadmap to Advance Data Collaboratives Practice as a Novel Research Direction

    International Journal of Electronic Government Research (IJEGR)

    An increasing number of initiatives have emerged around the world to help facilitate data sharing and collaborations to leverage different sources of data to address societal problems. They are called “data collaboratives”. Data collaboratives are seen as a novel way to match real life problems with relevant expertise and data from across the sectors. Despite its significance and growing experimentation by practitioners, there has been limited research in this field. In this article, the…

    An increasing number of initiatives have emerged around the world to help facilitate data sharing and collaborations to leverage different sources of data to address societal problems. They are called “data collaboratives”. Data collaboratives are seen as a novel way to match real life problems with relevant expertise and data from across the sectors. Despite its significance and growing experimentation by practitioners, there has been limited research in this field. In this article, the authors report on the outcomes of a panel discussing critical issues facing data collaboratives and develop a research and development agenda. The panel included participants from the government, academics, and practitioners and was held in June 2017 during the 18th International Conference on Digital Government Research at City University of New York (Staten Island, New York, USA). The article begins by discussing the concept of data collaboratives. Then the authors formulate research questions and topics for the research roadmap based on the panel discussions. The research roadmap poses questions across nine different topics: conceptualizing data collaboratives, value of data, matching data to problems, impact analysis, incentives, capabilities, governance, data management, and interoperability. Finally, the authors discuss how digital government research can contribute to answering some of the identified research questions.

  • Engaging in Public Finance Management: A system-wide approach to sustainable development (2011)

    UNICEF

    Working on Public Finance Management (PFM) system is a means to better understand how national institutions, administrative processes and financial systems operate. As such, it complements UNICEF’s work in social sectors by grounding them in a broader discussion of accountability, ownership and sustainability of development assistance. If national PFM systems are functional, social sectors also tend to perform well. If PFM systems fail, repercussions will be visible everywhere. The realization…

    Working on Public Finance Management (PFM) system is a means to better understand how national institutions, administrative processes and financial systems operate. As such, it complements UNICEF’s work in social sectors by grounding them in a broader discussion of accountability, ownership and sustainability of development assistance. If national PFM systems are functional, social sectors also tend to perform well. If PFM systems fail, repercussions will be visible everywhere. The realization of children’s right to health, for example, is contingent upon a complex decision-making process that determines how scarce productive resources are allocated and health services distributed in a particular society. Failure to understand this system-wide environment– and the trade-offs involved – may not only delay the achievement of results but make them unsustainable in the long term.

  • Designing for Children

    When creating products or services, designers have the habit of putting themselves in the shoes of the consumers they’re trying to target. This empathy allows for the creation of products that people need and value. Could this ‘design thinking’ be translated into the policy-making context? Could policy-makers put themselves in the shoes of the people they are trying to reach? Can this help them craft interventions that respond to the needs and aspirations of these people? If so, how does one…
