Moving Out of Poverty: Success from the Bottom Up

The World Bank has launched its new study on Poverty “Moving Out of Poverty: Success from the Bottom Up”, which continues the work started with the excellent “Voices of the Poor”, published in 2000.

This new study, based on data from 60,000 interviews in 15 countries, looks at how and why some people manage to escape poverty.

You can access the overview on-line, and order the book here.

Duncan Green has posted a nice summary in his blog, From Poverty to Power.
