Abstract

This Reading Pack presents a list of selected readings around key issues on extreme and persistent poverty: measurement, economic growth, politics and governance, the non-existence of ‘magic bullet’ solutions, the importance and difficulty of the employment and self-employment agenda, the context-specificity of policy; and the nature of poverty traps.
