- What has been the evolution of poverty and equity during the recent
globalizing decades?
- How have poor countries fared on the Millennium Development
Goals?
- What role does wealth inequality play in the level and efficiency
of investment and, hence, in economic growth?
- Is gender equity a smart pro-growth strategy as well as a pro-poor
one?
- How is equality different from equality of opportunity, and should
policy makers pursue one, the other, or both?
- In formulating distributional strategies, should the middle class
be integrally considered, or should the focus be entirely on the
poorest of the poor?
- What are the precise impacts of globalization on poverty and
equity, and what are the policy implications of these impacts?
- Is the problem with globalization that a key element is
missing—the globalization of labor employment?
- What is the role of international migration in the evolution of
equity within and between nations?
This book has been prepared for the Commission on Growth and
Development to evaluate the state of knowledge on the relationship
between poverty, equity, and globalization. It considers a range of
questions on poverty and equity within nations, and the policy
frameworks that can best address distributional concerns as the basis
for a growth strategy. It also examines the important issue of equity
between nations, in particular the possible role of international
migration in alleviating this inequity.
Written by prominent analysts in their fields, Equity and Growth
in a Globalizing World seeks to create a better understanding of
the interactions between globalization, growth, and different
dimensions of equity and poverty, and to inform policy makers of
possible policy levers to address central concerns in the debates in
this area.
