No matter if I fall, I get up again. If I fall 5,000 times, I will stand up another 5,000 times. William, a 37-year-old from El GorriColombiaWhy and how do some people move out of povertyand stay outwhile others remain trapped? Most books on growth and poverty reduction are dominated by the perspectives of policy makers and academic experts. In contrast, Moving Out of Poverty: Success from the Bottom Up presents the experiences of poor people who have made it out of poverty. The books findings draw from the Moving Out of Poverty research conducted in communities in 15 countries in Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and South Asia. The authors synthesize the results of qualitative and quantitative research based on discussions with over 60,000 people in rural areas. They offer bottom-up perspectives on the processes and local institutions that play key roles in escapes from poverty. The study finds that there are no differences in the initiatives taken by the poor, the rich, and the up-wardly mobile. What, then, explains the difference in outcomes? The authors demonstrate howin the face of deep social inequalities that block access to economic opportunities and local democraciesindividual initiative and empowerment by themselves are often not enough to escape poverty.This book will be of interest to all concerned with equity in an increasingly unequal world. |
