Thinking about youth poverty through the lenses of chronic poverty, life-course poverty and intergenerational poverty
Karen Moore (2005)
Working Paper No. 57
Youth poverty is a serious global problem, not least because of the large numbers of youth and children living in absolute poverty in developing countries. In many contexts, youth are relatively likely to experience poverty because of age-based discrimination and the uncertainties and dynamism...

Andries du Toit (2005)

Ten years after liberation, the persistence of poverty is one of the most important and urgent questions facing South Africa. This paper reflects on some of the findings of research undertaken as part of the participation of the Programme on Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) at the University of...
Poverty Measurement Blues: some reflections on the space for understanding 'chronic' and 'structural' poverty in South Africa
Andries du Toit (2005)
Working Paper No. 55
This paper explores the challenge of understanding chronic and structural poverty in South Africa, and questions the dominance of the econometric imaginary in present-day development and poverty studies. It argues that measurement-based, econometric approaches to chronic poverty are dependent upon...
Process deficits or political constraints? Bottom-up evaluation of non-contributory social protection policy for rural labourers in India
Sony Pellissery (2005)
Working Paper No. 54
Often, the implementation of anti-poverty programmes has been evaluated on the basis of their outcomes rather than the process of implementation. Such methods of evaluation assume that good outcome indicators are the result of good implementation. This evaluation methodology assumes that the...
Understanding Urban Chronic Poverty: Crossing the Qualitative and Quantitative Divide
Abbi M. Kedir (2005)
Working Paper No. 53
This paper summarises the recent quantitative and qualitative evidence on urban poverty in Ethiopia. The analysis of poverty dynamics is difficult and has been neglected, hence most of the studies reviewed here focus on urban poverty at a particular point in time. The paper also attempts to discuss...

Snakes, ladders and traps: changing lives and livelihoods in rural Bangladesh (1994-2001)
Naila Kabeer (2005)
Working Paper No. 50
This paper examines national-level explanations for poverty decline in Bangladesh in micro-level detail, in order to better understand the nature of the causalities at work and why some households have gained, while others have failed to gain, in the processes of change involved. The analysis ia...
Chronic Poverty and Social Conflict in Bihar
N.R. Mohanty (2005)
CPRC-IIPA Working Paper
Chronic poverty trends cannot be examined without considering the impact of various social conflicts afflicting a region. It is true that all forms of poverty cannot be explained by conflicts as much as all conflicts cannot be attributed to poverty. But, in many economically backward states,...
The impact of AIDS on Women Care Givers in Situations of Poverty: Policy Issues
Aasha Kapur Mehta and Sreoshi Gupta (2005)
CPRC-IIPA Working Paper
Despite the renewed commitment over the past 15 years to poverty reduction as the core objective of international development discourses and policies, progress to this end remains disappointing. This is particularly evident in the extent to which the world is off track to achieve most of the...
