SEOUL, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Industrial production in South Korea rose for two straight months due to improved services industry production that offset reduction in exports slump in the auto and metal sectors, a government report showed on Friday.


Production in all industries rose 0.6 percent in June from a month earlier, according to Statistics Korea. It was down from a 1.9 percent expansion in May, but kept an upward trend for two months in a row after falling 0.7 percent in April.


Services industry production increased 1.0 percent in June compared with the previous month, marking the highest since December last year.


It offset a 0.2 percent fall in the mining and manufacturing industries. Chip production jumped 11.1 percent, with those in communications and broadcasting equipments growing 4.7 percent. But, output in automobiles and primary metals reduced 2.5 percent and 3.0 percent respectively.


Chip production posted a double-digit increase as demand rose for chips used in smartphones especially among Chinese manufacturers. Chip demand also increased ahead of the releases of Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Note 7 and Apple's iPhone 7.


Auto production declined on soft demand in emerging economies, and steel output weakened on the back of a seasonal factor.


Inventory among manufacturers shed 0.1 percent, with the inventory ratio falling 0.3 percentage points from a month earlier to 122.2 percent in June.


Manufacturers posted a factory utilization rate of 72.1 percent in June, down 0.9 percentage points from a month ago.




ROME, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Leaders from the three Rome-based UN agencies marked International Women's Day on Wednesday by reinforcing their commitments to step up efforts to invest in the capacities of rural women as key agents to eradicating hunger worldwide.


In developing countries, women make up 45 percent of the agricultural labor force, ranging from 20 percent in Latin America to up to 60 percent in parts of Africa and Asia.


However, they do significantly more unpaid work than men which limited their capacity to earn incomes and advance their skills.


Due to gender-biased social norms, laws and practices, women's potential and influence on decision-making in economic, social and political spheres are seriously undermined.


The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Program (WFP) reminded the world that women and girls play a crucial role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular, the goal of eradicating hunger and extreme poverty.


FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva said that women play a critical role in agriculture and food systems. However, women still face major constraints in rural labor markets and in agricultural value chains.


Women are more likely to be in poorly paid jobs, without legal or social protection. This limits women's capacity to advance their skills, earn incomes and access employment opportunities, the FAO Director-General added.


"Achieving gender equality and empowering women are crucial ingredients in the fight against extreme poverty, hunger and malnutrition which is strongly recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," he said.


IFAD President Kanayo F. Nwanze said the world will never overcome poverty and hunger without empowering rural women.


He called for reducing rural women's workloads by improving access to technologies that save time and labor, transforming gender relations within the family and enabling them to make decisions about their lives.


WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin said, empowering women economically is one of the key steps to realizing gender equality and achieving Zero Hunger. The changing world of work -- as patterns of economic activity shift -- provides the opportunity to achieve these goals.


Enabling women to seize these opportunities will transform lives and help bring the Sustainable Development Goals within reach, she added.


Embattled Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Wednesday pulled within striking distance of the votes needed to form a narrow majority government in a cliffhanger election that has left the nation in limbo and his leadership in doubt.


"The government is still on track to form a majority government Heren Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Schoenen Zilver Wit Rood Kopen ," Treasurer Scott Morrison told Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC) radio on Wednesday.


Electoral officials are counting 1.5 million postal and absentee votes that will be crucial to the result of Saturday's poll, which saw a swing against Turnbull's conservative coalition government and the rise of populist independents.


A final reckoning may not be known for days Heren Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Zwart Wit Schoenen Kopen , possibly weeks, leaving Australia in a political vacuum.


The latest projections by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation shifted two seats into the government's column Air Max 97 Ultra Zwart Heren Nike Kopen , giving Turnbull's Liberal-National coalition 70 out of 150 lower house seats, and the center-left Labor opposition 67. Eight seats remain too close to call.


Both major parties are agonizingly short of the 76 seats needed to form a majority government in the House of Representatives Air Max 97 Wit Heren Nike Schoenen Kopen , and negotiations are already underway with independents who will hold at least four seats.


"It's still either a very, very narrow coalition majority or hung parliament Heren Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Zwart Schoenen Kopen ," ABC polling expert Antony Green told ABC's Radio National.


Turnbull's gamble in calling an early election failed to deliver a clear mandate for his agenda of corporate tax cuts and his disastrous polling has led to attacks from inside and outside his coalition after his attempt to end a querulous upper house Senate failed.


The surge in voting for independents, combined with rules that make it easier for smaller parties to win Senate seats in a so-called.
