Making sense of the gulf between young men and women

By KESLS RAM
Some policies that might work without harming their female classmates include hiring more male teachers (who are exceptionally scarce at primary schools in rich countries), and allowing boys to start school a year later than girls, to reflect the fact that they mature later.

India’s diaspora

Many of the anti-colonial movement's leading lights, including Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohandas Gandhi, spent years studying in Britain. Trained as lawyers, they used the ideas they had absorbed to argue for freedom back home. Some of the most notable post-independence prime ministers, including Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, also spent long periods abroad. Since then, India's diaspora has grown in size and influence. Some 18m Indians who retain their nationality live abroad, according to the  un . That makes them the largest diaspora in the world, followed well behind by Mexicans (11.2m) and Russians (10.8m).

Can Big Oil run in reverse?

By KESLS RAM
Can Big Oil run in reverse? https://www.economist.com/special-report/2024/03/11/can-big-oil-run-in-reverse from The Economist Last July ExxonMobil paid $5bn to acquire Denbury, which owns a large pipeline network for getting carbon dioxide to wells that need their recovery enhanced. In August Occidental Petroleum, which is something of an eor specialist, paid $1.1bn for Carbon Engineering, a Canadian startup which has developed technologies to extract carbon dioxide from thin air, a process called direct-air capture (dac). Vicki Hollub, the chief executive of Oxy, as the company is known, has grand plans for this dac technology. Oxy has received a grant from the American government worth up to $600m towards the $1bn-or-more required to build a commercial-scale dac facility in Texas—one capable of removing 1m tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year.
