| Abstract |
This report provides an overview and summary of business perceptions and responses to HIV/AIDS. It draws in particular on the information collected by the 2004-2005 Executive Opinion Survey that forms part of the World Economic Forum's annual Global Competitiveness Report. The survey questioned nearly 9000 business executives in 104 countries. Questions on HIV/AIDS addressed the perceived impact of the virus (and to a lesser extent TB and malaria) on workforces and communities, the effect of HIV on company operations and revenues, and firms' response to the disease. The report includes global, regional and industry level reviews of the impact of HIV/AIDS and the business response. |
