Influencer Marketing for Small Businesses: Success Tips

By means of the previously mentioned research objectives—that of ascertaining the influence of influencers on purchasing interest in East Java cuisine—we hope to This is crucial so that consumers' purchasing intents are understood to be based on their impressions of the dependability or efficacy of influencer campaigns shown on social media. This study focuses especially on East Java's propensity to purchase culinary products based on videos influencers posted on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok. The gathered data in this work is analyzed and observed using a quantitative design. The study took place in East Java, particularly in the Regency area with much of culinary tourists. The choice of the province of East Java was based on the many gastronomic variations and significant population; hence, the probability of respondent selection is higher and many respondents spend their time on social media and observing influencers present promotions of different culinary pleasures in ...

Canada and the USA Wealth Analysis

After the global financial crisis of 2007–2009, the topic of inequality resurfaced as a focal point of public policy discussions, and interest has increased with the uneven economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak among laborers. A deeper level of anxiety has been stoked by the combination of the devastating loss of livelihoods for many people around the world and the increasing wealth of a select few. This issue focuses on the detrimental impacts of inequality on social cohesiveness, faith in the institutions that support a nation's population, and individual well-being.

The information regarding income disparity in Canada



By breaking down the data according to wage and demographic categories, this section examines trends in several metrics of wealth and income inequality with the goal of identifying the primary drivers of change. We make use of a variety of Statistics Canada publically available data sets, with sample lengths typically spanning from 1976 to 2019. Every income metric has been updated for inflation.
The largest spikes in inequality occurred more than 25 years ago.
The Gini coefficient, which depicts the distribution of income throughout the population, is the most widely used indicator of inequality. It has a scale from 0 to 1, where rises indicate that fewer people own a larger portion of the economy's overall revenue. We provide the Canadian Gini coefficient for three distinct measures of household income: adjusted after-tax income, total income (including government transfers to households), and market income.

based on data from the Canadian Income Survey of Statistics Canada

The Gini coefficient in 2019 is more than 10% higher than in 2018 when market income is taken into account.

even though there had been a minor decrease in the previous few years of observations in 1976. The main effects of the recessions in the 1980s and the early 1990s are reflected in this. The Gini coefficient increased significantly during these recessions, did not go back to pre-recession levels, and even when the crisis ended, it stayed relatively close to the new, higher level. It has mostly stabilized at the high level since the late 1990s.
When total income—which includes government subsidies to households—is taken into account in the computations, the Gini coefficient decreases significantly. The progressive nature of Canada's income tax system is reflected in the even smaller level of measured income disparity when after-tax income is taken into account. Moreover, during recessions, the growth in Gini coefficients based on after-tax and total income is less pronounced. This highlights the role that discretionary fiscal measures and automatic stabilizers play.

Real income declines for those in the lower percentiles



What factors led to the rise in inequality during the early 1990s?
To shed light on these changes, Chart 3 presents the market income of individuals (rather than households) as a percentage of the total income since the early 1980s.8 The Longitudinal Administrative Databank of Statistics Canada, which makes its data publicly available, focuses on high-income groups; as a result, little information about the lower tail of the income distribution is available. This dataset suggests that the income growth of the highest earners may have contributed to some of the Gini coefficient's increase in the 1980s, albeit this increase only begins close to the end of the recession. On the other hand, the decline in income of the 25th percentile of the distribution was the primary cause of the widening in the first part of the 1990s.9. The incomes of those in this percentile have not yet recovered in real terms due to this ongoing decline. According to Bowlus et al. (2021), the early 1990s recession had a negative impact on the labor earnings of young people with low incomes in particular.
This observation aligns with the findings of Guvenen et al. (2021) regarding lifetime wages in the United States, which show a decline in the median male worker's earnings over time for the cohort that began working in 1983 compared to the 1967 cohort.
All of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's member nations have reported stagnant middle-class income over the past few decades (OECD 2019).

The income of the 99.95th percentile has increased significantly during the mid-1990s, surpassing

that of the other bunches. It's interesting to note that increases in this and other higher-end income categories seem to occur before the global financial crisis of 2008–09 and the recession of the early 1990s. Although this group's income decreased during the 1990s recession, it recovered far more quickly than other categories.
This begs the question of why the Gini coefficients shown in the previous section do not reflect the diverse growth in earnings across income percentiles during the last few decades. Since the mid-1990s, the Gini coefficients have remained constant, although being at high levels. This is a result of the Gini coefficient measure's relative insensitivity to shifts at the highest and lowest ends of the income distribution.10

The median income for those under 44 has either



fallen or stalled
When examining trends in median total income by age group, the difference between individuals 65 and older and the rest of the population is the most noticeable finding. The age group of 65 and beyond has seen a considerably faster gain in income than other age groups (Chart 8). In the 1980s and first half of the 1990s, younger groups saw their salaries either stagnate or decline, coinciding with an increase in income disparity during that time. The 16–24 age group and, to a lesser extent, the 25–34 age group currently have lower real incomes than they had in 1976. It's possible that a greater number of young people are opting to delay entering the workforce by pursuing higher education, which is the reason for the slower growth in income among the younger generations (Galameau, Morissette and Usalcas 2013).12
Greater educational attainment acts as an equalizing factor against inequality, as was covered in section 4.

Brazil and the USA: A Comparative Look at Urban Life

  National economies are propelled by cities These spaces are attractive to the most productive firms and the most talented workers due to the agglomeration advantages they generate, which are the primary cause for their existence. This environment is conducive to growth and development. Cities promote economic advancement by facilitating the sharing, matching, and learning of individuals and businesses through their high density (DURANTON; PUGA, 2004). Furthermore, Marshall (1890) asserted that ideas are "in the air," which implies that the mere concentration of individuals could result in novel outcomes. The functional role of each city in an urban system is contingent upon its ability to provide more specialized products and services to the surrounding areas (LÖSCH, 1964; CHRISTALLER, 1966). Given that population development enhances the capacity to generate economies of agglomeration and market potential, the centrality level of cities is also correlated with population s...

The Biggest Brazilian Community in the USA: A Cultural Hub

To like, stop inflation, the policymakers of the first military government were like, "Yo, let's introduce this sick package that includes: a) cutting government deficits; b) controlling the money flow; and c) adjusting wages based on inflation and productivity. It's gonna be lit, fam! The plan totally flopped on its initial goals - only 10% in '66 - but it did manage to bring down inflation from a crazy 89.9% in '64 to 37.9% in '66 and 26.5% in '67. Furthermore, Figure 3 below flexes a steady drop in inflation rates throughout the economic miracle. By Brazilian standards, the period was like, totally lit in controlling price rises. Which parts of the anti-inflation policies actually stopped inflation tho? The Poli Econ of the Stabilisation Policy wage dropped steadily from 1964 up to 1968 and then kept almost constant throughout the "economic miracle." On the flip side, the "white collar" peeps were totally vibing with the economic bo...

The Top Profitable Business Trends in Brazil

OMG, like the private banks were all about reducing credit stuff and focusing on investing in things from the public sector. So lit, right? First, banks like totally shifted credit stuff from private sector to public entities (check out Table 38 below). Second, the foreign currency remunerated deposits in the BACEN (regulated by the Circular Letter 230) became hella popular amongst commercial banks. OMG, in 1978 those deposits were only like 1.6% of the banks' total assets. But then in December 1979 and February 1983, they went cray and increased like six times. By 1983, they were like 9.3% of all the commercial banks' assets. OMG, in 1979, public securities were only, like, 17% of the investments in shares and securities. But in 1983, they were, like, a whopping 80%! Yo, peep Figure 18 up there, it's all about the financialisation of the non-financial corporation market value. Like, a big chunk of those financial investments were totally tied to the value of public bonds c...
