                                               LEARNING AND EARNING

New data demonstrate how graduates can expect earn much more than non-graduates, by sex and by country.

A SPELL at university offers more than the chance to indulge in a few years of debauchery. But precisely how rewarding, financially, is completing your degree? A new report from the OECD, a rich-country think-tank, attempts to measure how much more graduates can expect to earn compared with those who seek jobs without similar qualifications. In America the lifetime gross earnings of male graduates are, on average, nearly $370,000 higher than those of non-graduates, comfortably repaying the pricey investment in a university education. Female graduates earn an extra $229,000, the lower rate perhaps because women are more likely to drop out of the workforce to look after children.

On average it pays well to study: across the OECD countries studied a man can expect to make an additional $186,500 in his lifetime if he has a degree. In som places , such as South Korea and Spain, the data show that female graduates pull in more than their male counterparts. In turkey, graduates' additional wages are more modest and the financial advantages of men over women are less pronounced.

                                  RIO FAVELAS CRIME CLAMPDOWN

            Brazilian security forces occupied one of the biggest slums in Rio on Sunday. The operation was part of a major clampdown on organized crime ahead of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

            Authorities in Rio launched a fresh attack on organised crime by taking over the Mangueira slum close to the city's famous Maracana Stadium.

            Around 800 police and Special Forces occupied the slum without firing any shots. The vast majority of residents co-operated fully with the authorities; they want their community pacified and free of drug dealers.

            The police had pre-announced the raid, a strategy that gives criminals the chance to leave the area rather than being confronted in densely populated areas. Rio's authorities are making an effort to win the trust of those living in the slums who after decades of abuse have got used to seeing the police as their enemy.

            The Mangueira is the 18th slum in Rio to be reclaimed by the authorities. But there is still a lot to be done. With hundreds of slums known as "favelas" still in the hands of organised criminals, drug dealers have vast areas in which to hide and thrive.

            SPANISH DEMONSTRATION AGAINST BULLFIGHTING

            A small demonstration of about 1,000 people has taken place in Madrid to call for an end to bullfighting in Spain. Many see bullfighting as extremely cruel, while others see it as an important part of Spanish culture.

            Carrying banners reading ‘Abolish bullfighting’ and comments disparaging bullfighters, the coalitionof animal rights activists and ecologists gathered in Madrid’s central Puerta del Sol square. The Madrid regional government’s decision to officially declare the sport part of Spain’s cultural heritage has intensified opposition:

 

Male protestor:

            “I feel very ashamed. I feel ashamed of being Spanish when I hear of these crimes, and people say this torture is culture. For me it is savage, more appropriate to other centuries.”

            The centuries-old spectacle, whose ritual includes implanting barbed sticks into the bull before amatador kills it with a sword, draws thousands to the country’s bullrings and matadors receive celebrity media coverage. Many Spaniards reject accusations of cruelty.

            A Madrid resident insists those who want to watch bullfighting should be allowed to continue doing so as it’s part of the nation’s culture.

            But support for bullfighting varies across the country, with parliament in the autonomous Catalan region recently debating a possible ban, and a vote there on the issue is expected soon.

            In Spain’s Canary Islands, the sport is already outlawed.
