Title:
MOVING OUT OF POVERTY: SUCCESS FROM THE BOTTOM UP |
| Date:
4/27/2009
- 4/27/2009 |
| There are many misperceptions of those living in poverty--from negative behavioral traits to poor decision making in money management, those living in destitute conditions are quickly marginalized by their economic realities. In the new book by Deepa Narayan, Project Director of the World Bank’s Moving Out of Poverty Study, and Lant Pritchett of the Kennedy School of Government, a close look at poverty measures, economic opportunities and life stories of over 600,000 people from around the World provides a fresh look at the world’s poor. On April 27, 2009, the World Bank InfoShop held a panel discussion, chaired by World Bank Vice-President Danny Leipziger to discuss the findings of the study. The session featured additional comments by Geoffrey Lamb, Managing Director of Public Policy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. |
