| description |
The objective of this report is to
provide some policy guidelines for the fight against
poverty. In particular, it hopes to be able to identify the
growing sectors, as well as the constraints faced by the
poor in benefiting from this growth. The report is part of a
series of studies conducted within the Poverty Reduction
Group (PRMPR) to foster understanding of the role of
employment earnings and labor markets in shared growth. In
addition, it is intended to function as a background
document for the World Bank's Nicaragua Poverty
Assessment 2007. The degree to which growth is able to
translate into poverty reduction depends on how its benefits
are distributed among different segments of society. There
is little doubt that growth measured by changes in average
income contributes significantly to poverty reduction.
However, it is also clear that countries differ in the
degree to which income growth spells have translated into
poverty reduction. Although differences in the
responsiveness of poverty to income growth account for a
small fraction of the 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. |
