Moving Out Of Poverty by Deepa Narayan
Based on thousands of life stories from diverse countries, this study explores how households rise from and fall back into poverty, emphasizing the dynamic and local nature of mobility. It finds that initiative, access to education, credit, markets, infrastructure, and supportive local institutions drive upward movement, while corruption, social exclusion, conflict, and weak governance are major barriers. Arguing that economic growth alone is insufficient, it calls for policies that strengthen accountability, expand opportunities, and build people’s assets, capabilities, and voice.
