It is a compilation of lecture notes used in face-to-face and e-learning courses presented by the World Bank Institute's (WBI) Poverty Program during 2004-08. The volume is divided into three parts. Part one discusses basic concepts and measurement issues pertaining to poverty, national income, and economic growth. Part two deals with the macroeconomic policies that are critical for economic growth in the short term. It covers government enforced fiscal and exchange-rate policies and the roles of financial institutions, development assistance (or aid), debt relief, and trade policies. Part three covers the structural and sectoral policies that affect longer-term economic growth and poverty reduction. To underscore the impact of good governance and effective service delivery in growth and poverty reduction, separate chapters are devoted to institutional and technological development, education, health, labor, and land. The volume ends with a chapter that summarizes knowledge of growth theory, reviews the process of growth in 13 successful countries, and draws out implications for other developing countries. The authors hope that this chapter may be of help to policy makers in identifying the constraints to economic growth and development that may be unique to each country.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO LOANSADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCEADULT MORTALITYADULT POPULATIONAGEDAGGREGATE POVERTYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCEAIDS EPIDEMICAVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOMEBANK OFFICEBASIC NEEDSBENEFITS OF MIGRATIONBUSINESS OWNERSHIPCAPITAL INVESTMENTCARIBBEAN REGIONCASH EXPENDITURESCHRONIC ILLNESSCITIZENSCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION SMOOTHINGCOPING STRATEGYCOUNTERFACTUALCOUNTRY OF DESTINATIONCULTURAL BARRIERSDECLINE IN POVERTYDEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICSDEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDISSEMINATIONDIVORCEDOMESTIC LABORDROUGHTEARNINGSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC SHOCKSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION LEVELSEMPLOYEREMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEXCLUSIONEXPATRIATESEXPLOITATIONEXPORT MARKETSFAMILIESFAMILY MEMBERSFERTILITYFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFINANCIAL COSTFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD CONSUMPTION PER CAPITAFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFULL POTENTIAL OF MIGRATIONGENDERGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT POLICYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEAD OF HOUSEHOLDHIVHOUSEHOLD ASSETSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURES ON FOODHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEAD AGEHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD NUMBERHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUSBANDHUSBANDSILLNESSIMMIGRATIONIMMIGRATION POLICIESIMPACT OF MIGRATIONIMPERFECT INFORMATIONINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME DYNAMICSINCOME GAINSINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINHERITANCEINSURANCEINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERVENTIONISOLATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESKINSHIPKINSHIP NETWORKSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET ACTIVITIESLABOR MARKETSLABOR MOBILITYLACK OF CREDITLACK OF FINANCELACK OF INFORMATIONLAND HOLDINGSLAND VALUELEGAL STATUSLIMITED ACCESSLIVING STANDARDSLOANLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMALARIAMARKET FAILURESMARKETINGMEDICAL TREATMENTMIGRANTMIGRANT WORKERSMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMIGRATION PROCESSMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF HEALTHMONEYLENDERSMOTHERMOUNTAIN REGIONNATIONAL BORDERSNATURAL DISASTERSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPERMANENT MIGRATION STATUSPHYSICAL CAPITALPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INDIVIDUALSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR RURAL REGIONSPOORER HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINKAGESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRACTITIONERSPRODUCTION PROCESSPROGRESSPUBLIC POLICYPULL FACTORSPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYPUSH FACTORSQUALITATIVE DATAREDUCTION IN POVERTYREGIONAL CAPITALREGIONAL LABORREGIONAL LABOR MARKETSREGIONAL OFFICEREMITTANCEREMITTANCESREMOTE AREASREMOTE LOCATIONSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRETURN MIGRATIONRISK SHARINGRURALRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL MIGRATIONRURAL REGIONSRURAL VILLAGESSAVINGSSCHOOLINGSEXSIBLINGSSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSOURCE OF INCOMESOURCE OF OPPORTUNITIESSPILLOVERSPOUSETEENSTEMPORARY MIGRANTSTEMPORARY MIGRATIONTRADITIONAL VALUESUNDOCUMENTED MIGRATIONUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERURBAN MIGRATIONURBANIZATIONUSE PER CAPITAVILLAGEVIOLENCEYOUNG ADULTSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6953-1
