Summary: | Poverty studies typically focus on
people who live below the poverty line. Few studies have
examined how people are able to not only move out of but
also stay out of poverty. The fifteen, country study, moving
out of poverty: success from the bottom up, by Deepa
Narayan, Lant Pritchett, and Soumya Kapoor, is one of the
few large-scale comparative research attempts to analyze
mobility out of poverty rather than poverty alone. The study
focused largely on rural communities over a 10-year period
between 1995 and 2005, when developing countries exhibited
overall relatively strong growth. |
