Based on over a decade of research by the Chronic Poverty Research
Centre, this volume analyses the challenges to be met if global
extreme poverty is to be eradicated. Building on case studies from
Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India and Uganda, it includes material on
poverty dynamics, the inter-generational transmission of poverty,
the importance of building assets and reducing vulnerability, the
critical nature of conflict as a cause of impoverishment and
chronic poverty, and new thinking about the close relationship
between social exclusion and adverse incorporation. Current policy
does not adequately support pathways out of poverty: neither the
positives of getting a good job, or building assets, nor the
negatives of preventing setbacks along the way. While social
protection is increasingly on the policy agenda by way of
preventing extreme setbacks, the pro-poorest economic growth and
labour market policies, the rounded approach to providing enough
education to poor children, all need much greater policy makers'
attention. Policy makers also need to consider the norms which
govern social groups and inter-group social relationships which
determine how people make use of assets and capabilities, and how
to change those norms where they are problematic for socio-economic
mobility, or lead to conflict.
