Bangladesh's ambition is to build on its very solid growth and poverty reduction achievements, and accelerate growth to become a middle income country by 2021, and share prosperity more widely amongst its citizens. This includes one of its greatest development challenges: to provide gainful employment to the over 2 million people that will join the labor force each year over the next decade. Moreover, only 54.1 million of its 94 million working age people are employed. Bangladesh needs to use its labor endowment even more intensively to increase growth and, in turn, to absorb the incoming labor. The Diagnostic Trade Integration Study identifies the following actions centered around four pillars to sustain and accelerate export growth: (1) breaking into new markets through a) better trade logistics to reduce delivery lags ; as world markets become more competitive and newer products demand shorter lead times, to generate new sources of competitiveness and thereby enable market diversification; and b) better exploitation of regional trading opportunities in nearby growing and dynamic markets, especially East and South Asia; (2) breaking into new products through a) more neutral and rational trade policy and taxation and bonded warehouse schemes; b) concerted efforts to spur domestic investment and attract foreign direct investment, to contribute to export promotion and diversification, including by easing the energy and land constraints; and c) strategic development and promotion of services trade; (3) improving worker and consumer welfare by a) improving skills and literacy; b) implementing labor and work safety guidelines; and c) making safety nets more effective in dealing with trade shocks; and (4) building a supportive environment, including a) sustaining sound macroeconomic fundamentals; and b) strengthening the institutional capacity for strategic policy making aimed at the objective of international competitiveness to help bring focus and coherence to the government's reform efforts. This second volume provides in-depth analysis across seven cross-cutting themes that underpin most of the findings of pillars 1 and 2 above. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aInternational economic relations 607 $aBangladesh$xCommerce 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 676 $a337 700 $aKathuria$b Sanjay$01465152 702 $aKathuria$b Sanjay 702 $aMalouche$b Mariem Mezghenni 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798779303321 996 $aStrengthening Competitiveness In Bangladesh-Thematic Assessment$93768577 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03959nam 2200589 a 450 001 9910781619503321 005 20230725051439.0 010 $a1-283-63716-2 010 $a0-8263-4852-1 035 $a(CKB)2550000000051088 035 $a(EBL)1119044 035 $a(OCoLC)817819572 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000542034 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11391174 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000542034 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10509548 035 $a(PQKB)10677780 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1119044 035 $a(OCoLC)759158351 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse4742 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1119044 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10492210 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL394962 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000051088 100 $a20090827d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aTraditions of the Osage$b[electronic resource] $estories collected and translated by Francis la Flesche /$fedited and introduced by Garrick Bailey 210 $aAlbuquerque $cUniversity of New Mexico Press$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (194 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8263-4850-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aAllegorical story of tribal organziation -- Origin story of the Wolf Clan (Pah-nee-wah-with-ta) -- Origin story of the Black Bear Clan (Bacon Rind) -- Creation of the house of mystery (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- Earth names and sky names (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- Origin story of the Sho'-ka (Saucy Calf) -- The tattooing custom (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- Haircut of the gentle sky clan (Shun-kah-mo-lah) -- Finding of the four colors (Hlu-ah-wah-tah) -- What to dream of (Saucy Calf) -- Instructions to the mother (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- Instructions to the wife of a priest (Saucy Calf) -- Instructions in the painting of the sacred robes (Hlu-ah-wah-tah) -- Counting the O'don (Shun-kah-mo-lah) -- Tradition of the Omaha departure form the Osage (Pah-nee-wah-with-tah) -- Making the Buffalo come (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- Deer-hunting stories -- The vision of a war leader (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- Death of an old warrior -- Origin of the hair bundle (Me-ke-wah-ti-an-kah) -- Origin of the whistle bundle -- Origin of the mourning dance (Black Dog) -- The lost warrior (Saucy Calf) -- Captive of the Pawnee -- The boy driven from home -- The woman war leader (Tho'-xi Zhin-ga) -- The youngest wife -- The unfaithful wife (Pah-nee-wah-with-tah) -- Mourning dance for yellow ears (Saucy Calf) -- The two young men who mourned their living fater (Andrew Jackson) -- The wa-kon'-da-gi, or medicine men -- Strange medicine man -- The death of Village Maker -- Big Bear and Runs-to-meet-men -- The cruel medicine man and the orphan -- Wah-ti-an-kah (Bacon Rind) -- Dreamers (Shun-kah-mo-lah) -- The woman dreamer -- Spirit woman (Hlu-ah-wah-tah) -- The flute ghost story (Ben Wheeler) -- The young warrier and his dead wife -- Return of the dead (Charles Wah-hre-she) -- The little people (Tho'-xi Zhin-ga) -- The demon animal (Ben Wheeler) -- The squirrel maidens -- The hawk and the horned owl (Tho'-xi Zhin-ga) -- The four coyotes and the persimmons (Tho'-xi Zhin-ga) -- The coyote and the woodpecker -- The coyote and the fawn. 330 $aSacred teachings, folk stories, and animal stories collected in their original language, Osage, between 1910 and 1923. 606 $aOsage Indians$vFolklore 606 $aOsage Indians$xRites and ceremonies 615 0$aOsage Indians 615 0$aOsage Indians$xRites and ceremonies. 676 $a398.0897/5254 701 $aLa Flesche$b Francis$f1857-1932.$01577735 701 $aBailey$b Garrick Alan$01577736 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781619503321 996 $aTraditions of the Osage$93856588 997 $aUNINA
