Chronic Poverty: Some policy implications

Andrew Shepherd

Development, 2007, vol. 50, issue 2, 48-55

Abstract: Andrew Shepherd suggests that there is an inter-disciplinary meeting point between concepts of ‘poverty traps’ and ‘adverse incorporation’, and suggests that the cutting edge of research on chronic poverty lies in the interaction of asset dynamics, insecurity and changing social relations. The performance of the state, and, in particular, the under-performance of the state in chronically deprived countries is a critical constraint on the eradication of poverty.
