| description |
There is little doubt that economic
growth contributes significantly to poverty reduction;
however, countries clearly differ in the degree to which
income growth translates into reduced levels of poverty.
Although cross-country estimates suggest that differences in
the responsiveness of poverty to income growth account for a
small fraction of overall differences in poverty changes
across countries, from the point of view of an individual
country these differences may have significant implications
for poverty reduction, especially in the short term. The
report is structured into eight chapters, beginning with
this introduction. Chapter two describes the data and the
main definitions used in this report. Chapter three provides
the socioeconomic context of the study, with a particular
emphasis on growth, poverty, and labor market
characteristics. Chapter four takes a look at the linkages
between macro and microeconomic data by reviewing the ways
in which changes in aggregate and sectoral labor
productivity translate into individual earnings as gathered
from the household surveys. Chapter five also reviews the
relationships between productivity and earnings by looking
at the linkages between changes in aggregate and sectoral
labor productivity data (macro) and changes in individual
earnings as gathered from the household surveys (micro).
Chapter six examines the origins and determining factors of
household earnings and employment and assesses their impact
on poverty and poverty reduction. Chapter seven analyzes the
individual and household characteristics that are associated
with having either 'good' jobs or 'bad'
jobs and reviews the question of whether there may be
barriers preventing the movement of workers from bad to good
labor market segments. Finally, chapter eight describes the
main conclusions of this report and provides suggestions for
future work based on these conclusions. |
