Dear W4S Community,
This month we want to share with all of you this amazing investigation about the importance of Trust for Social Cohesion and Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean published by IDB.
"Trust is the most pressing and yet least discussed problem confronting Latin America and the Caribbean. Whether in others, in government, or in firms, trust is lower in the region than anywhere else in the world. The economic and political consequences of mistrust ripple through society. It suppresses growth and innovation: investment, entrepreneurship, and employment all flourish when firms and government, workers and employers, banks and borrowers, and consumers and producers trust each other. Trust inside private and public sector organizations is essential for collaboration and innovation".
Here´s the link to the full version with specific information about each country and some ideas to solve this problem mainly based in the public access to information.
