This is the first book that documents poverty systematically for
the world's indigenous peoples in developing regions in Asia,
Africa, and Latin America. The volume compiles results for roughly
85 percent of the world's indigenous peoples. It draws on
nationally representative data to compare trends in countries'
poverty rates and other social indicators with those for indigenous
sub-populations and provides comparable data for a wide range of
countries all over the world. It estimates global poverty numbers
and analyzes other important development indicators, such as
schooling, health, and social protection. Provocatively, the
results show a marked difference in results across regions, with
rapid poverty reduction among indigenous (and non-indigenous)
populations in Asia contrasting with relative stagnation and in
some cases falling back in Latin America and Africa. Two main
factors motivate the book. First, there is a growing concern among
poverty analysts worldwide that countries with significant
vulnerable populations such as indigenous peoples may not meet the
Millennium Development Goals, and thus there exists a consequent
need for better data tracking conditions among these groups.
Second, there is a growing call by indigenous organizations,
including the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples,
for solid, disaggregated data analyzing the size and causes of the
development gap. "
