Riassunto

This volume assembles the major papers discussed at an international workshop on poverty monitoring to evaluate poverty indicators and poverty monitoring systems in order to increase attention to poverty issues and improve policies to alleviate poverty. Major areas covered include the measurement of poverty trends, the usefulness of poverty indicators, whether or not structural adjustment policies affect more traditional measures to combat poverty, rapid policy evaluation for vulnerable groups and how international agencies can deal with poverty monitoring issues. Rolph van der Hoeven is the author of "Planning for Basic Needs: A Soft Option or a Solid Policy?", co-author of "Basic Needs in Development Planning", and co-editor of "World Recession and Global Interdependence" and "Africa's Recovery in the 1990s". Other works by Richard Anker include "Sex Inequalities in Urban Employment in the Third World", "Women's Participation in the Labour Force: A Methods Test for Improving its Measurements", "Economic-Demographic Relationships and Employment in Kenya" and "Fertility Determinants in Developing Countries".
