Abstract
This report consists of a collection of
case studies from Latin America combining qualitative and
quantitative research methods for the analysis of poverty
within a social exclusion framework. The first chapter
provides an overview of the differences between quantitative
and qualitative methods, and the gains from using both types
of methods in applied work. The other chapters are devoted
to three case studies on reproductive health in rural
Argentina, the targeting of social programs in Chile, and
social exclusion in urban Uruguay. Each case study was
prepared within the broader context of country-specific
economic and sectoral work at the World Bank.
