Main features of the labour market and economic activity in the native timber sector in the Ecuadorian Amazon
The study aims to understand the economic aspects of timber harvesting (volumes, type of wood extracted, income generated and prices) and the main labor features of the native timber sector of the Ecuadorian Amazon. The literature describes the economic aspects of this activity, but little is known about the labor market. The survey results reveal that around 90% of workers in the Simplified Harvesting plan (PMFSI) are temporarily employed and more than two-thirds work part-time, indicating job insecurity. On the contrary, 75% of the workers in the Sustainable Harvesting plan (PMFSU) are permanent employees. Salaries in the sector are above the national average and minimum wage. However, the wage gap between workers in the two plans was up to 50%, depending on the task, with a gender pay gap of up to 40%. Understanding these aspects is essential for poli-cymaking and could contribute to the growth of the sector while generating more employment equity .

A bottom-up approach to estimating cost elements of REDD+ pilot projects in Tanzania
Several previous global REDD+ cost studies have been conducted, demonstrating that payments for maintaining forest carbon stocks have significant potential to be a cost-effective mechanism for climate change mitigation. These studies have mostly followed highly aggregated top-down approaches without estimating the full range of REDD+ costs elements, thus underestimating the actual costs of REDD+. Based on three REDD+ pilot projects in Tanzania, representing an area of 327,825 ha, this study explicitly adopts a bottom-up approach to data assessment. By estimating opportunity, implementation, transaction and institutional costs of REDD+ we develop a practical and replicable methodological framework to consistently assess REDD+ cost elements.
