00:12
I live in Washington, D.C.,
0
12924
4188
Živim u Vašingtonu
00:17
but I grew up in Sindhekela, a village in Orissa, in India.
1
17112
7367
ali sam odrastao u Sindekelu, selu u Orisi, u Indiji.
00:24
My father was a government worker.
2
24479
4494
Moj otac je bio državni službenik.
00:28
My mother could not read or write, but she
3
28973
3886
Moja majka je bila nepismena,
00:32
would say to me, "A king is worshipped only in his
4
32859
5444
ali bi mi govorila: "Kralja poštuju samo u njegovom kraljevstvu.
00:38
own kingdom. A poet is respected everywhere."
5
38303
6138
Pesnika poštuju svuda."
00:44
So I wanted to be a poet when I grew up.
6
44441
3454
I tako sam ja želeo da kada porastem postanem pesnik,
00:47
But I almost didn't go to college
7
47895
4182
ali umalo da nisam išao na koledž
00:52
until an aunt offered financial help.
8
52077
4532
dok tetka nije ponudila finansijsku pomoć.
00:56
I went to study in Sambalpur,
9
56609
2185
Studirao sam u Sambalpuru,
00:58
the largest town in the region,
10
58794
4195
najvećem gradu u regionu,
01:02
where, already in college, I saw a television for the first time.
11
62989
6999
gde sam, već kao student, prvi put gledao televiziju.
01:09
I had dreams of going to the United States
12
69988
2160
Sanjao sam da studije nastavim
01:12
for higher studies.
13
72148
2600
u Sjedinjenim Državama.
01:14
When the opportunity came,
14
74748
2129
Kada mi se ukazala prilika,
01:16
I crossed two oceans, with borrowed money
15
76877
2335
prešao sam dva okeana, novcem pozajmljenim
01:19
for airfare and only a $20 bill in my pocket.
16
79212
6693
za avionsku kartu i samo 20 dolara u džepu.
01:25
In the U.S., I worked in a research center,
17
85905
4607
U Sjedinjenim Državama sam radio u istraživačkom centru,
01:30
part-time, while taking graduate classes in economics.
18
90512
4305
pola radnog vremena, dok sam pohađao postdiplomske studije iz ekonomije.
01:34
And with the little I earned, I would
19
94817
5334
I sa ono malo što sam zarađivao, ja bih
01:40
finance myself and then I would send
20
100151
2307
podmirivao sopstvene troškove a potom slao
01:42
money home to my brother and my father.
21
102458
4458
novac kući bratu i ocu.
01:46
My story is not unique.
22
106916
3369
Moja priča nije jedinstvena.
01:50
There are millions of people who migrate each year.
23
110285
4274
Milioni ljudi migriraju svake godine.
01:54
With the help of the family, they cross oceans,
24
114559
3781
Uz pomoć svojih porodica, prelaze okeane,
01:58
they cross deserts, they cross rivers, they cross mountains.
25
118340
6815
prelaze pustinje, reke, planine.
02:05
They risk their lives to realize a dream,
26
125155
4328
Rizikuju živote kako bi ostvarili san,
02:09
and that dream is as simple as having a
27
129483
2673
a taj san je samo da negde imaju
02:12
decent job somewhere so they can send money home
28
132156
3311
pristojan posao, tako da bi mogli da šalju novac kući
02:15
and help the family,
29
135467
1830
i pomognu porodici,
02:17
which has helped them before.
30
137297
4657
koja je prethodno pomogla njima.
02:21
There are 232 million international migrants in the world.
31
141954
5092
Ima 232 miliona međunarodnih migranata u svetu.
To su ljudi koji ne žive
02:27
These are people who live in a country
32
147046
1349
02:28
other than their country of birth.
33
148395
2656
u zemlji u kojoj su se rodili.
02:31
If there was a country made up of
34
151051
1709
Kada bi postojala zemlja sačinjena
02:32
only international migrants,
35
152760
1609
samo od međunarodnih migranata,
02:34
that would be larger, in population,
36
154369
2057
ona bi imala stanovništvo brojnije
02:36
than Brazil.
37
156426
1437
od Brazila.
02:37
That would be larger, in its size
38
157863
2005
Ona bi imala ekonomiju po veličini
02:39
of the economy, than France.
39
159868
3202
veću od ekonomije Francuske.
02:43
Some 180 million of them, from poor countries,
40
163070
4497
Od njih oko 180 miliona, koji potiču iz siromašnih zemalja
02:47
send money home regularly.
41
167567
3151
redovno šalju novac kući.
02:50
Those sums of money are called remittances.
42
170718
5025
Te količine novca se zovu doznake.
02:55
Here is a fact that might surprise you:
43
175743
3987
Evo jedne činjenice koja vas može iznenaditi:
02:59
413 billion dollars, 413 billion dollars
44
179730
4723
413 milijadi dolara, 413 milijardi dolara
03:04
was the amount of remittances sent last year
45
184453
3033
je količina doznaka koje su prošle godine poslali
03:07
by migrants to developing countries.
46
187486
3036
migranti u zemlje u razvoju.
03:10
Migrants from developing countries,
47
190522
1284
Migranti iz zemalja u razvoju,
03:11
money sent to developing countries —
48
191806
2144
novac poslat u zemlje u razvoju:
03:13
413 billion dollars.
49
193950
2450
413 milijardi dolara.
03:16
That's a remarkable number because
50
196400
1720
Ovo je izuzetan broj jer je
03:18
that is three times the size of
51
198120
1865
tri puta veći od ukupne sume
03:19
the total of development aid money.
52
199985
3814
finansijske pomoći za razvoj.
03:23
And yet, you and I,
53
203799
3463
Ali ipak, vi i ja,
03:27
my colleagues in Washington,
54
207262
1506
moje kolege u Vašingtonu,
03:28
we endlessly debate and
55
208768
1997
neprestano raspravljamo i
03:30
discuss about development aid,
56
210765
2428
diskutujemo o pomoći za razvoj
03:33
while we ignore remittances as small change.
57
213193
4289
i ignorišemo doznake kao sitan novac.
03:37
True, people send 200 dollars per month,
58
217482
3153
Istina, ljudi mesečno šalju 200 dolara u proseku.
03:40
on average. But, repeated month after month,
59
220635
4071
Ali, kada to ponavljaju svakog meseca,
03:44
by millions of people,
60
224706
2038
milioni ljudi,
03:46
these sums of money add up to rivers of foreign currency.
61
226744
4067
te sume novca formiraju reke stranih valuta.
03:50
So India, last year, received 72 billion dollars, larger than
62
230811
5094
Tako je Indija prošle godine primila 72 milijarde dolara, što je više
03:55
its IT exports.
63
235905
2456
od njenog izvoza informacionih tehnologija.
03:58
In Egypt remittances are three times
64
238361
2984
U Egiptu su doznake tri puta veće
04:01
the size of revenues from the Suez Canal.
65
241345
3572
od prihoda ostvarenog od Sueckog kanala.
04:04
In Tajikistan, remittances are 42 percent of GDP.
66
244917
3812
U Tadžikistanu, doznake čine 42 procenata bruto domaćeg proizvoda.
04:08
And in poorer countries, smaller countries, fragile countries,
67
248729
2839
A u siromašnijim, manjim zemljama, krhkijim zemljama,
04:11
conflict-afflicted countries, remittances are a lifeline,
68
251568
5069
zemljama zahvaćenim sukobima, doznake su pojas za spasavanje,
04:16
as in Somalia or in Haiti.
69
256637
3376
kao u Somaliji ili na Haitiju.
Nije čudo što ovi tokovi imaju snažan
04:20
No wonder these flows have huge
70
260013
2003
04:22
impacts on economies and on poor people.
71
262016
4900
uticaj na ekonomije i siromašne ljude.
04:26
Remittances, unlike private investment money,
72
266916
3809
Doznake se, za razliku od privatnih investicija,
04:30
they don't flow back at the first
73
270725
3027
ne povlače na prvi znak
04:33
sign of trouble in the country.
74
273752
1791
problema u zemlji.
04:35
They actually act like an insurance.
75
275543
2885
One se zapravo ponašaju kao osiguranje.
04:38
When the family is in trouble,
76
278428
2420
Kada je porodica u problemu,
04:40
facing hardship, facing hard times,
77
280848
2605
kada se suočava sa teškoćama,
04:43
remittances increase, they act like an insurance.
78
283453
2067
doznake se povećavaju, one se ponašaju kao osiguranje.
04:45
Migrants send more money then.
79
285520
2559
Tada migranti šalju više novca.
04:48
Unlike development aid money,
80
288079
1595
Za razliku od pomoći razvoju,
04:49
that must go through official agencies,
81
289674
2577
koji mora da prođe kroz zvanične organe,
04:52
through governments, remittances
82
292251
3117
kroz vlade, doznake
04:55
directly reach the poor,
83
295368
1625
direktno dolaze do siromašnih,
04:56
reach the family,
84
296993
1318
do porodica,
04:58
and often with business advice.
85
298311
2554
često uz poslovni savet.
05:00
So in Nepal, the share of poor
86
300865
3180
Tako je u Nepalu udeo siromašnog stanovništva
05:04
people was 42 percent in 1995,
87
304045
2828
1995. godine činio
05:06
the share of poor people in the population.
88
306873
2187
42 procenata ukupnog stanovništva.
05:09
By 2005, a decade later, at a
89
309060
3602
Do 2005. godine, deceniju kasnije,
05:12
time of political crisis, economic crisis,
90
312662
2808
u vreme političke i ekonomske krize,
05:15
the share of poor people went down to 31 percent.
91
315470
4369
učešće siromašnih je opalo na 31 procenat.
05:19
That decline in poverty, most of it,
92
319839
3276
Ovaj pad siromaštva, u većem delu,
05:23
about half of it, is believed to be
93
323115
1899
oko polovine, je kako se veruje,
05:25
because of remittances from India,
94
325014
2727
posledica doznaka iz Indije,
05:27
another poor country.
95
327741
2139
druge siromašne zemlje.
05:29
In El Salvador, the school dropout
96
329880
4163
U El Salvadoru, stopa napuštanja školovanja
05:34
rate among children is lower
97
334043
3238
je manja među decom
05:37
in families that receive remittances.
98
337281
1806
čije porodice primaju doznake.
05:39
In Mexico and Sri Lanka,
99
339087
1969
U Meksiku i Šri Lanki,
05:41
the birth weight of children is higher
100
341056
4399
porođajna težina je veća kod dece
05:45
among families that receive remittances.
101
345455
5414
onih porodica koje dobijaju doznake.
05:50
Remittances are dollars wrapped with care.
102
350869
3699
Doznake su brižljivo upakovani dolari.
05:54
Migrants send money home for food,
103
354568
2721
Migranti kući šalju novac za hranu,
05:57
for buying necessities, for building houses,
104
357289
2252
kupovinu potrepština, zidanje kuća,
05:59
for funding education, for funding
105
359541
2388
finansiranje školovanja,
06:01
healthcare for the elderly, for business
106
361929
2729
zdravstvene nege starijih, za poslovne investicije,
06:04
investments for friends and family.
107
364658
2258
prijateljima i porodici.
06:06
Migrants send even more money home
108
366916
2339
Migranti šalju kući još više novca
06:09
for special occasions like a surgery
109
369255
2748
za specijalne prilike poput operacije
06:12
or a wedding. And migrants also send
110
372003
3764
ili venčanja. A migranti još šalju novac,
06:15
money, perhaps far too many times,
111
375767
2940
možda prečesto,
06:18
for unexpected funerals that
112
378707
2396
za neočekivane sahrane
06:21
they cannot attend.
113
381103
3898
kojima ne mogu da prisustvuju.
06:25
Much as these flows do all that good,
114
385001
2678
I pored toga što ovi tokovi čine toliko dobra,
06:27
there are barriers to these
115
387679
1398
postoje prepreke ovim
06:29
flows of remittances, these
116
389077
1910
tokovima doznaka, ovim
06:30
400 billion dollars of remittances.
117
390987
2522
doznakama vrednim 400 milijardi dolara .
06:33
Foremost among them is
118
393509
1981
Najznačajnija među njima je
06:35
the exorbitant cost of sending money home.
119
395490
4306
previsoka cena slanja novca kući.
06:39
Money transfer companies structure
120
399796
1997
Kompanije za transfer novca formiraju
06:41
their fees to milk the poor.
121
401793
3774
svoje provizije kako bi muzli siromašne.
06:45
They will say, "Up to 500 dollars
122
405567
3002
Oni kažu: "Ako hoćete da pošaljete
06:48
if you want to send, we will charge you
123
408569
1675
do 500 USD naplatićemo vam
06:50
30 dollars fixed."
124
410244
2294
fiksnih 30 dolara."
06:52
If you are poor and if you have only 200 dollars to send,
125
412538
3096
Ukoliko ste siromašni i možete da pošaljete samo 200 dolara,
06:55
you have to pay that $30 fee.
126
415634
3242
morate da platite proviziju od 30 dolara.
06:58
The global average cost of sending
127
418876
2035
Prosečna globalna cena slanja novca
07:00
money is eight percent.
128
420911
2537
je osam procenata.
07:03
That means you send 100 dollars,
129
423448
1551
To znači da će, ako šaljete 100 dolara,
07:04
the family on the other side receives only
130
424999
1673
porodica sa druge strane primiti
07:06
92 dollars.
131
426672
1557
samo 92 dolara.
07:08
To send money to Africa,
132
428229
1784
Slanje novca u Afriku
07:10
the cost is even higher:
133
430013
1583
košta još više:
07:11
12 percent.
134
431596
1346
12 procenata.
07:12
To send money within Africa,
135
432942
1974
Za slanje novca u okviru Afrike,
07:14
the cost is even higher:
136
434916
1484
cena je još viša:
07:16
over 20 percent.
137
436400
1319
preko 20 procenata.
07:17
For example, sending money from Benin to Nigeria.
138
437719
3869
Na primer, ukoliko šaljete novac iz Benina u Nigeriju.
07:21
And then there is the case of Venezuela, where,
139
441588
4252
A tu je i slučaj Venecuele,
07:25
because of exchange controls,
140
445840
1481
gde zbog kontrole deviznog kursa
07:27
you send 100 dollars and you
141
447321
2000
imate sreće ukoliko
07:29
are lucky if the family on the other side
142
449321
2018
kada pošaljete 100 dolara
07:31
receives even 10 dollars.
143
451339
3410
vaša porodice sa druge strane primi čak i 10 dolara.
07:34
Of course, nobody sends money to Venezuela
144
454749
2944
Naravno, u Venecuelu niko ne šalje
07:37
through the official channel.
145
457693
1623
novac zvaničnim kanalima.
07:39
It all goes in suitcases.
146
459316
2124
Stavlja se u kofere.
07:41
Whereever costs are high,
147
461440
2070
Kad god su troškovi visoki,
07:43
money goes underground.
148
463510
2383
novac putuje tajnim kanalima.
07:45
And what is worse,
149
465893
1936
I što je najgore,
07:47
many developing countries actually
150
467829
2331
mnoge zemlje u razvoju
07:50
have a blanket ban on sending money
151
470160
2247
u potpunosti brane slanje novca
07:52
out of the country.
152
472407
1703
van zemlje.
07:54
Many rich nations also have a
153
474110
2137
Mnoge bogate nacije imaju
07:56
blanket ban on sending money to specific countries.
154
476247
5496
potpunu zabranu slanja novca u pojedine zemlje.
08:01
So, is it that there are no options,
155
481743
2111
Pa, da li nema drugih mogućnosti,
08:03
no better options, cheaper options, to send money?
156
483854
2633
boljih, jeftinijih opcija za slanje novca?
08:06
There are.
157
486487
791
Ima ih.
08:07
M-Pesa in Kenya enables people to send money
158
487278
3720
M-Pesa u Keniji omogućava ljudima da šalju
08:10
and receive money at a fixed cost of only
159
490998
2641
i primaju novac po fiksnoj ceni od samo
08:13
60 cents per transaction.
160
493639
2897
60 centi po transakciji.
08:16
U.S. Fed started a program with Mexico
161
496536
2866
Centralna banka SAD-a je započela program sa Meksikom
08:19
to enable money service businesses
162
499402
1639
kojim se firmama za transfer novca
08:21
to send money to Mexico
163
501041
1578
omogućuje da šalju novac u Meksiko
08:22
for a fixed cost of only 67 cents per transaction.
164
502619
5233
za fiksnu cenu od samo 67 centi po transakciji.
08:27
And yet, these faster, cheaper, better options
165
507852
2955
Ali ipak, ove brže, jeftinije, bolje opcije
08:30
can't be applied internationally
166
510807
2987
ne mogu da budu primenjene internacionalno
08:33
because of the fear of money laundering,
167
513794
2841
zbog straha od pranja novca,
08:36
even though there is little data
168
516635
2851
iako ima malo podataka
08:39
to support any connection, any significant
169
519486
2725
koji bi podržavali njihovu povezanost, bilo kakvu
08:42
connection between money laundering
170
522211
1672
značajnu vezu između pranja novca
08:43
and these small remittance transactions.
171
523883
5390
i ovih malih transakcija doznakama.
Danas mnoge međunarodne banke
08:49
Many international banks now
172
529273
1427
08:50
are wary of hosting bank accounts
173
530700
2889
nerado drže bankarske račune
08:53
of money service businesses, especially
174
533589
3401
firmama koje se bave novčanim uslugama, naročito
08:56
those serving Somalia.
175
536990
2660
onima koje posluju sa Somalijom.
08:59
Somalia, a country where the
176
539650
2697
Somalija, zemlja u kojoj je
09:02
per capita income is only 250 dollars per year.
177
542347
7144
prihod po glavi stanovnika samo 250 USD godišnje.
09:09
Monthly remittances, on average, to Somalia
178
549491
2416
Prosečne mesečne doznake Somaliji
09:11
is larger than that amount.
179
551907
2312
veće su od te sume.
09:14
Remittances are the lifeblood of Somalia.
180
554219
2634
Doznake su žila kucavica Somalije.
09:16
And yet, this is an example of
181
556853
3721
Ali opet, ovo je primer kako
09:20
the right hand giving a lot of aid,
182
560574
1871
desna ruka pruža mnogo pomoći,
09:22
while the left hand is cutting the lifeblood
183
562445
4018
dok leva seče žilu kucavicu
09:26
to that economy, through regulations.
184
566463
5601
ovoj ekonomiji, kroz propise.
09:32
Then there is the case of poor people from villages, like me.
185
572064
4908
Tu je i slučaj siromašnih ljudi iz sela, poput mene.
09:36
In the villages, the only place where you can
186
576972
2016
U selima je jedino mesto
09:38
get money is through the post office.
187
578988
2732
na kome možete podići novac pošta.
09:41
Most of the governments in the world
188
581720
1993
Većina vlada u svetu
09:43
have allowed their post offices to have
189
583713
3016
je dozvolila poštama posedovanje
09:46
exclusive partnerships with money transfer companies.
190
586729
3236
isključivog partnerstva sa kompanijama za transfer novca.
09:49
So, if I have to send money to my
191
589965
2822
Tako da, ukoliko želim da pošaljem novac
09:52
father in the village, I must send money
192
592787
2683
ocu u selo, moram da ga pošaljem
09:55
through that particular money transfer company,
193
595470
2303
preko te određene kompanije za transfer novca,
09:57
even if the cost is high.
194
597773
1240
čak iako imaju visoku cenu.
09:59
I cannot go to a cheaper option.
195
599013
4312
Ne mogu ići na jeftiniju opciju.
10:03
This has to go.
196
603325
2009
To mora da se promeni.
10:05
So, what can international organizations and
197
605334
2251
Dakle, šta internacionalne organizacije i
10:07
social entrepreneurs do to reduce the cost
198
607585
2017
socijalni preduzetnici mogu da smanje cenu
10:09
of sending money home?
199
609602
1629
slanja novca kući?
10:11
First, relax regulations on small remittances under 1,000 dollars.
200
611231
6308
Prvo, ublažiti propise za male doznake ispod 1000 USD.
10:17
Governments should recognize that
201
617539
2422
Vlade treba da prepoznaju da
10:19
small remittances are not money laundering.
202
619961
4247
male doznake nisu pranje novca.
10:24
Second, governments should abolish exclusive partnerships
203
624208
4439
Drugo, vlade treba da ukinu isključivo partnerstvo
10:28
between their post office and the money transfer company.
204
628647
2994
izmeđe pošta i kompanija za transfer novca.
10:31
For that matter, between the post office
205
631641
1589
Štaviše, i između pošte i
10:33
and any national banking system that
206
633230
2027
bilo kog nacionalnog bankarskog sistema
10:35
has a large network that serves the poor.
207
635257
3080
koji ima široku mrežu koja opslužuje siromašne.
10:38
In fact, they should promote competition,
208
638337
3284
Zapravo, one treba da podstiču konkurenciju,
10:41
open up the partnership so that
209
641621
3029
da otvore partnerstvo tako
10:44
we will bring down costs like we did,
210
644650
3149
da spustimo cene, kao što smo,
10:47
like they did, in the telecommunications industry.
211
647799
3476
kao što su oni učinili u telekomunikacionoj industriji.
10:51
You have seen what has happened there.
212
651275
2997
Videli ste šta se tamo dogodilo.
10:54
Third, large nonprofit philanthropic organizations
213
654272
4803
Treće, velike neprofitne dobrotvorne organizacije
treba da sačine platformu za doznake
10:59
should create a remittance platform
214
659075
2210
na neprofitnim osnovama.
11:01
on a nonprofit basis.
215
661285
1583
11:02
They should create a nonprofit
216
662868
1072
Oni bi trebalo da kreiraju neprofitnu
11:03
remittance platform to serve the money transfer
217
663940
2200
platformu za doznake koja bi služila kompanijama
11:06
companies so that they can send money at a low cost,
218
666140
3729
za transfer novca, tako da mogu da šalju novac za nisku cenu,
11:09
while complying with all the complex
219
669869
2151
poslujući u skladu sa svim složenim
11:12
regulations all over the world.
220
672020
4712
propisima širom sveta.
Zemlje u razvoju treba da
11:16
The development community should
221
676732
1402
11:18
set a goal of reducing remittance costs
222
678134
2277
sebi za cilj postave smanjenje troškova doznaka
11:20
to one percent from the current eight percent.
223
680411
3253
na jedan procenat sa sadašnjih osam procenata.
11:23
If we reduce costs to one percent,
224
683664
2260
Ukoliko smanjimo troškove na jedan procenat,
11:25
that would release a saving of 30 billion dollars per year.
225
685924
4269
to bi donelo uštedu od 30 milijardi dolara godišnje.
11:30
Thirty billion dollars, that's larger than the entire
226
690193
4401
Trideset milijardi dolara, to je više od celokupnog bilateralnog
11:34
bilateral aid budget going to Africa per year.
227
694594
3149
budžeta za pomoć koja ide Africi godišnje.
11:37
That is larger than, or almost similar to,
228
697743
3016
To je više, ili gotovo jednako
11:40
the total aid budget of the United States government,
229
700759
3169
ukupnom budžetu za pomoć vlade SAD-a,
11:43
the largest donor on the planet.
230
703928
2856
najvećeg donatora na planeti.
11:46
Actually, the savings would be larger
231
706784
1625
Zapravo, uštede bi bile veće
11:48
than that 30 billion because remittance channels
232
708409
2123
od 30 milijardi jer se kanali kojima se kreću doznake
11:50
are also used for aid, trade and investment purposes.
233
710532
5407
koriste i za pomoć, trgovinu i investicije.
11:55
Another major impediment to the
234
715939
2471
Druga velika prepreka
11:58
flow of remittances reaching the family
235
718410
2254
kretanju doznaka ka familijama
12:00
is the large and exorbitant
236
720664
2565
je znatan i neumeren
12:03
and illegal cost of recruitment,
237
723229
2978
i ilegalan trošak regrutovanja,
12:06
fees that migrants pay, migrant workers
238
726207
2938
provizije koju migranti radnici
12:09
pay to laborers who found them the job.
239
729145
3264
plaćaju radnicima koji su im pronašli posao.
12:12
I was in Dubai a few years ago.
240
732409
3606
Pre nekoliko godina sam bio u Dubaiju.
12:16
I visited a camp for workers.
241
736015
2275
Posetio sam radnički kamp.
12:18
It was 8 in the evening, dark, hot, humid.
242
738290
5313
Bilo je osam sati uveče, mračno, vruće, puno vlage.
12:23
Workers were coming back from
243
743603
1812
Radnici su se vraćali nakon
12:25
their grueling day of work,
244
745415
2471
iscrpljujućeg radnog dana,
12:27
and I struck a conversation
245
747886
1784
i zapodenuo sam razgovor
12:29
with a Bangladeshi construction worker.
246
749670
2860
sa građevinskim radnikom iz Bangladeša.
12:32
He was preoccupied that he is sending
247
752530
2909
Bio je zabrinut što je kući
12:35
money home, he has been
248
755439
1517
slao novac, do tada već
12:36
sending money home for a few months now,
249
756956
2910
tokom nekoliko meseci,
12:39
and the money is mostly going
250
759866
1503
a novac je u najvećem delu išao
12:41
to the recruitment agent, to the labor agent
251
761369
2652
agentu za zapošljavanje
12:44
who found him that job.
252
764021
1643
koji mu je pronašao taj posao.
12:45
And in my mind, I could picture
253
765664
3744
I mogao sam sebi da predstavim
12:49
the wife waiting for
254
769408
1181
njegovu ženu koja čeka
12:50
the monthly remittance.
255
770589
1726
mesečnu doznaku.
12:52
The remittance arrives.
256
772315
1765
Doznaka stiže.
12:54
She takes the money and hands
257
774080
1729
Ona je prima i predaje
12:55
it over to the recruitment agent,
258
775809
3570
agentu za zapošljavanje,
12:59
while the children are looking on.
259
779379
2996
dok deca to posmatraju.
13:02
This has to stop.
260
782375
3330
Ovo mora da se prekine.
13:05
It is not only construction workers from Bangladesh,
261
785705
4816
Ovo se ne odnosi samo na građevinske radnike iz Bangledaša,
13:10
it is all the workers. There are millions of migrant
262
790521
1706
odnosi se na sve radnike. Postoje milioni migranata
13:12
workers who suffer from this problem.
263
792227
2951
radnika koji ispaštaju zbog ovog problema.
13:15
A construction worker from Bangladesh,
264
795178
1677
Građevinski radnik iz Bangladeša,
13:16
on an average, pays about 4,000 dollars in recruitment fees
265
796855
3795
u proseku, plaća oko 4000 dolara proviziju za zapošljavanje
13:20
for a job that gives him only 2,000 dollars per year in income.
266
800650
5379
za posao koji mu donosi godišnji prihod od samo 2000 dolara.
13:26
That means that for the two years or three years
267
806029
2730
To znači da će tokom dve ili tri godine života,
13:28
of his life, he is basically sending money
268
808759
3493
on u osnovi slati novac
13:32
to pay for the recruitment fees.
269
812252
1284
kako bi platio naknadu za zapošljavanje.
13:33
The family doesn't get to see any of it.
270
813536
3513
Njegova porodica ne dobija ništa od tog novca.
13:37
It is not only Dubai, it is the dark
271
817049
3771
Ovo se ne događa samo u Dubaiju,
13:40
underbelly of every major city in the world.
272
820820
2574
to je mračna strana svakog velikog grada na svetu.
13:43
It is not only Bangladeshi construction workers,
273
823394
2498
Ne radi se samo o građevinskim radnicima iz Bangladeša,
13:45
it is workers from all over the world.
274
825892
2155
u pitanju su radnici iz celog sveta.
13:48
It is not only men.
275
828047
1938
Oni nisu samo muškarci.
13:49
Women are especially vulnerable to
276
829985
1885
Žene su naročito podložne
13:51
recruitment malpractices.
277
831870
3538
zloupotrebi tokom regrutovanja.
13:55
One of the most exciting and newest
278
835408
4594
Jedna od najuzbudljivijih i najnovijih
14:00
thing happening in the area of remittances
279
840002
2418
stvari koje se zbivaju u sferi doznaka
14:02
is how to mobilize, through innovation,
280
842420
3041
je kako pokrenuti, kroz inovaciju,
14:05
diaspora saving and diaspora giving.
281
845461
3191
štednju i davanje dijaspore.
14:08
Migrants send money home,
282
848652
1883
Migranti kući šalju novac,
14:10
but they also save a large amount of
283
850535
1633
ali oni i štede velike količine
14:12
money where they live.
284
852168
2445
novca tamo gde žive.
14:14
Annually, migrant savings are estimated
285
854613
2635
Štednja migranata je procenjena na
14:17
to be 500 billion dollars.
286
857248
4101
500 milijardi dolara godišnje.
14:21
Most of that money is parked in
287
861349
2228
Većina tog novca je smeštena u
14:23
bank deposits that give you zero percent interest rate.
288
863577
3725
depozite banaka koje vam daju nula procenata kamatne stope.
14:27
If a country were to come and offer a three percent
289
867302
3092
Ukoliko bi došle države i ponudile kamatnu stopu od
14:30
or four percent interest rate, and then say
290
870394
2511
tri ili četiri procenta, i rekle
14:32
that the money would be used for building schools,
291
872905
2804
da će taj novac biti iskorišćen za izgradnju škola,
14:35
roads, airports, train systems
292
875709
3135
puteva, aerodroma, železnice
14:38
in the country of origin, a lot
293
878844
1812
u njihovoj zemlji porekla,
14:40
of migrants would be interested in
294
880656
1937
mnogi migranti bi bili zainteresovani
14:42
parting with their money because
295
882593
2390
da daju novac, jer
14:44
it's not only financial gains that
296
884983
1795
nije samo finansijska dobit ta koja
14:46
give them an opportunity
297
886778
1289
im daje mogućnost
14:48
to stay engaged with their country's development.
298
888067
5472
da budu uključeni u razvoj svoje zemlje.
14:53
Remittance channels can be used
299
893539
1941
Kanali doznaka mogu da budu iskorišćeni
14:55
to sell these bonds to migrants
300
895480
4571
i za prodaju ovih menica migrantima
15:00
because when they come
301
900051
1351
jer kada oni svakoga meseca
15:01
on a monthly basis to send remittances,
302
901402
1583
dođu da pošalju doznaku,
15:02
that's when you can actually sell it to them.
303
902985
2581
tada im je zaista možete prodati.
15:05
You can also do the same
304
905566
973
Isto možete da uradite
15:06
for mobilizing diaspora giving.
305
906539
2781
da pokrenete davanja dijaspore.
15:09
I would love to invest in a
