Segunda Encuesta Demografica Nacional de Honduras: descripcion del procesamiento y bases para la explotacion de los datos; informe preliminar

El trabajo describe las actividades desarrolladas desde la recepcion de la cinta con los datos de la encuesta demografica nacional de Honduras hasta la generacion de una base de datos RAPID. La encuesta se levanto entre julio de 1983 y enero de 1984 en un total de 11.106 hogares en 10.896 viviendas que albergaban a 62.496 personas (p3). En cuanto a la cinta recibida (MC801) la informacion venia en 21 archivos utilizandose 4 archivos para el procesamiento de la informacion: el 1, referido al total del pais excluyendo la parte urbana del distrito federal y San Pedro Sula; el archivo 3, referido a la parte urbana del Distrito Central; el archivo 4, correspondiente a la parte urbana de San Pedro Sula y La Lima; el archivo 5 con los datos del formulario adicional de segmentos.

The impact of climate change on the water sector in the Caribbean

This study econometrically analyses the projected impact of climate change on the water sector of nine Caribbean countries to 2100: Aruba, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Montserrat, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago. Overall, all countries, with the exception of Trinidad and Tobago, are expected to suffer aggregate losses as result of climate change in the early periods ca. 2020 under one or more scenarios. Over time, some countries experience declining negative impacts, as in the case of Guyana under the B2 scenario. Some countries, such as the Dominican Republic, is projected to suffer increasing losses under the B2 scenario and, for others, the impacts do not follow a defined trend. The A2 scenario offers the best outcome for all countries, except Jamaica (where BAU is most desirable), Montserrat (which performs most poorly under the A2 scenario), and the Netherlands Antilles, which does best under the B2 case. Overall, relative to 2006, the total demand for water in the Caribbean is expected to fall by 2030 by 11.3% to approximately 12,967 million cubic meters. This is due to the expected fall in agricultural water demand by approximately 36% in that period. However, by 2050, total water demand for the Caribbean will again exceed the 2006 level by approximately 4% to 14,896.33 106 m3. By 2100, water demand will increase almost fivefold to approximately 69,233.69 106 m3. Climate change is expected to affect all countries in the Caribbean. In some cases, there will be positive impacts that may continue to increase over time and, in other cases, the impact will be negative and worsen over time. Overall, the agricultural sector is expected to suffer the worst losses over any scenario, whilst growth in the industrial sectors is expected to be significant and contribute the most to increasing water demand over time.
