Fighting Poverty by Rizwanul Islam
The Development-employment Link
Fighting Poverty offers an analysis of the link between employment and pro-poor economic growth. The authors provide evidence to demonstrate how employment can serve to link growth with poverty reduction. They include case studies of Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Uganda, and Vietnam.While it has become abundantly clear that neither overall economic growth nor targeted microlevel interventions inevitably reduce poverty in developing countries, much of the development literature continues to focus on these two approaches. Exploring a third, and more promising, avenue, Fighting Poverty offers a systematic analysis of the link between employment and pro-poor economic growth. The authors provide both conceptual frameworks and rich empirical evidence to demonstrate precisely how employment can serve to link growth with poverty reduction. They include in-depth case studies of Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Uganda, and Vietnam. |
