Growing out of poverty: how employment promotion improves the lives of the urban poor

Marja. Kuiper and Kees van der. Ree

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Focuses on pro-poor job creation for slum dwellers as an effective method to reduce urban poverty, especially national policies favouring employment-intensive growth. Discusses public-private partnerships and how to create quality jobs in the local, small-scale private sector, illustrated by examples from developing countries around the world. Concludes about the interrelationships between employment opportunities, access to basic infrastructures and services, and social inclusion.
