Growth Poverty and Inequality - Our work
Our work investigates the different economic, political and social processes that link economic growth to changes in inequality and poverty, and that link existing poverty and inequality to economic growth. We aim to contribute to the global effort to deliver growth that is poverty-reducing and fairly distributed throughout societies.
Growth and jobs
Jobs are the main link between growth and poverty, and growth that creates jobs is the most poverty-reducing. How can growth be more effective at creating employment?
Inequality
How can the benefits of growth be more evenly shared, and what should be the priority for policy-makers concerned with rising inequality?
Economic growth and urbanisation
Urbanisation is both the cause and effect of economic growth. How can governments meet the challenge of urban poverty and reap the benefits of growing cities?
The MDGs to 2015 and beyond
How are we doing on the Millennium Development Goals? And what are the options for global development after 2015?
Measuring development
How can we capture what's important to poor people when we try to define problems and measure progress?
