Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the major policy challenges facing developing Asia and how the region sustains rapid economic growth to reduce multidimensional poverty through socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable measures. Asia is facing many challenges arising from population growth, rapid urbanization, provision of services, climate change and the need to redress declining growth after the global financial crisis. This book examines poverty and related issues and aims to advance the development of new tools and measurement of multidimensional poverty and poverty reduction policy analysis. The book covers a wide range of issues, including determinants and causes of poverty and its changes; consequences and impacts of poverty on human capital formation, growth and consumption; assessment of poverty strategies and policies; the role of government, NGOs and other institutions in poverty reduction; rural-urban migration and poverty; vulnerability to poverty; breakdown of poverty into chronic and transitory components; and a comparative study on poverty issues in Asia and other regions. The book will appeal to all those interested in economic development, resources, policies and economic welfare and growth.
Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment As a Tool for Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries by : RONALD K.S. WAKYEREZA
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment As a Tool for Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries written by RONALD K.S. WAKYEREZA and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The textbook experience of poverty can be witnessed in a number of developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia and Latin America. Accordingly, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been identified as an important tool for poverty reduction, as it is noted to accelerate economic growth and employment in a nation, and is currently an essential issue for countries such as Uganda. This book finds that Ragnarâ (TM)s 1953 â ~Vicious-Circle of Povertyâ (TM) remains undisputed even today, showing that attracting FDI is not the end, but that a nationâ (TM)s absorption capacity is equally paramount. The implications of the FDI â ~frog-leap theoryâ (TM) for developing countries and the Community Capital Absorption Capacity Development (CCACD) framework provide plausible poverty reduction approaches in the 21st century. Without such measures, bringing an end to poverty is likely to elude governments and multinational corporations in developing countries.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment by : Matthew Babatope Ogunniyi
Download or read book The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment written by Matthew Babatope Ogunniyi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth remains a necessary ingredient for poverty reduction. Recent studies suggested that growth tends to lift the incomes of the poor proportionately with overall growth. Investment is known to be the engine of sustainable growth and due to the huge gap that exist between the required rate of investment and the existing rate of savings in LDCs, thus FDI is a vehicle to generate growth and an important ingredient to poverty reduction.

Book Synopsis Spatial Effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Poverty Reduction in Colombia by : Mayra Alejandra Yat Aguilar
Download or read book Spatial Effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Poverty Reduction in Colombia written by Mayra Alejandra Yat Aguilar and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been identified as an important factor in stimulating economic growth and decreasing poverty. In particular, the relationship between FDI and economic growth has been extensively debated in the academic literature but with mixed results. Meanwhile, considerably less work has been done towards investigating the effects of FDI on poverty reduction. Evidence from the limited research linking on FDI and poverty levels is also mixed. Through a more comprehensive survey-based multi-scale method of assessing poverty, this empirical study investigates the contribution of FDI with respect to concurrent quantitative and qualitative assessment of changes in living standards and poverty reduction in Colombia, a country with one of the highest poverty rates in South America. Results indicate that FDI is perceived as a positive contributor to the wellbeing of employees working at foreign firms, and that FDI is generally beneficial to the economic development of Colombia. Interestingly, those who reported higher scores regarding perceptions of FDI’s contribution to their wellbeing also feel satisfied with their income. Eight percent of households surveyed in 2013 are classified as poor, who are deprived in 37% of the weighted indicators of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) Colombia assessment as developed by the National Planning Department of the Government of Colombia. The deprivation scores among employees at foreign firms are affected significantly by the number of years of education, household size and age.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Poverty by : Ann Harrison
Download or read book Globalization and Poverty written by Ann Harrison and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the percentage of the world’s population living on less than a dollar a day has been cut in half. How much of that improvement is because of—or in spite of—globalization? While anti-globalization activists mount loud critiques and the media report breathlessly on globalization’s perils and promises, economists have largely remained silent, in part because of an entrenched institutional divide between those who study poverty and those who study trade and finance. Globalization and Poverty bridges that gap, bringing together experts on both international trade and poverty to provide a detailed view of the effects of globalization on the poor in developing nations, answering such questions as: Do lower import tariffs improve the lives of the poor? Has increased financial integration led to more or less poverty? How have the poor fared during various currency crises? Does food aid hurt or help the poor? Poverty, the contributors show here, has been used as a popular and convenient catchphrase by parties on both sides of the globalization debate to further their respective arguments. Globalization and Poverty provides the more nuanced understanding necessary to move that debate beyond the slogans.
Book Synopsis FDI, Local Financial Markets, Employment and Poverty Alleviation by : Ashraf Abdelaal Mahmoud
Download or read book FDI, Local Financial Markets, Employment and Poverty Alleviation written by Ashraf Abdelaal Mahmoud and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the indirect linkages among foreign direct investment (henceforth, FDI) and poverty reduction, where so far there are few studies attempted to analyze empirically these linkages. Yet I have a question: do we believe that FDI inflows are able to contribute to higher growth and employment in poor countries? I argue yes. Behavior of FDI says something important. FDI inflows vary across international borders and conditioned by host country environment therefore FDI can contribute to higher growth and employment in poor countries but only under certain circumstances, “Roll out the red carpet for foreign investors and they will come”. Countries with better financial systems, healthy business environment and human development are able to attract more FDI and exploit it more efficiently. Empirical analysis using panel data of 62 countries, from 1996 to 2007, shows that FDI appears regularly to be a key source of employment and has a favorable effect on economic growth of low income countries if interacted with monetary and nonmonetary variables.
Book Synopsis Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Poverty Reduction in Nigeria by : Noah Anthony
Download or read book Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Poverty Reduction in Nigeria written by Noah Anthony and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The level of poverty in developing economies especially Nigeria is very alarming and disturbing and this has been a source of great concern to government, policy makers and Economists all over the globe. This evil called poverty has made the United Nation to sponsor a long-term economic development program called the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Foreign direct investment according to the modernization and the vicious cycle of poverty thesis is thought to provide the needed capital for these economies to break out of the cycle of poverty. This book therefore examined the impact of foreign direct investment on poverty reduction in Nigeria from 1995 to 2010. The Ordinary Least Squares method was used to estimate the parameters of the model after conducting a unit root test via the Augmented-Dickey Fuller (ADF) to determine the stationarity of the data. This book is expected to be useful to academicians, governments, individuals and the general public.

Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment and Its Contributions to Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Vietnam (1986-2001) by : Thi Phuong Hoa Nguyen
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and Its Contributions to Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Vietnam (1986-2001) written by Thi Phuong Hoa Nguyen and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2004 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, Vietnam experienced high economic growth, significant reduction in poverty and remarkable inflows of foreign direct investment. The book aims at examining impacts of foreign direct investment on economic growth and poverty reduction in Vietnam during 1986-2001 analytically and empirically. The triangulation methodology is used. Conclusions are that foreign direct investment contributed significantly to Vietnam's growth and this worked mainly through capital accumulation and intra-industry spillover. Economic growth in turn reduced poverty. Direct impact of foreign direct investment on poverty was insignificant at the national level but significant in three localities where most foreign investors located. Foreign direct investment thus helped reduce poverty in Vietnam.

Book Synopsis The Private Sector and Poverty Reduction by : Kate Raworth
Download or read book The Private Sector and Poverty Reduction written by Kate Raworth and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 2015 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many commentators claim a key role for the private sector in reducing poverty. This can be achieved through direct benefits, such as the adoption of ethical business practices and the provision of employment, goods, and services to the poor; and through indirect positive impacts on macro-economic policy and business development. This paper argues that the likelihood of business impacts being pro-poor depends also on wider policy and structural conditions. These include the importance of poor people in a company's business model, and the length of local investment and commitment that this demands. Case studies of three companies demonstrate the importance of legislation and civil society as catalysts for pro-poor change in business. Leadership from within the company and a strong business case are also essential. However, multiple entrenched problems with modern capitalist systems work against positive change within international business. Overcoming or mitigating these will be necessary if the pro-poor potential of he private sector is to be realised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively little is known about how regional integration affects poverty. Many suggest that increased investment would be one of the benefits of agreeing on regional integration provisions but this has not been put to the empirical test for South-South integration. This volume examines the channels through which regional integration affects poverty and empirically analyzes the effects on foreign direct investment.
Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment and Poverty Reduction by : Michael U. Klein
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and Poverty Reduction written by Michael U. Klein and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s, foreign direct investment began to swamp all other cross-border capital flows into developing countries. Does foreign direct investment support sound development? In particular, does it contribute to poverty reduction?Foreign direct investment is a key ingredient of successful economic growth and development in developing countries - partly because the very essence of economic development is the rapid and efficient transfer and cross-border adoption of quot;best practices.quot; Foreign direct investment is especially well suited to effecting this transfer and translating it into broad-based growth, not least by upgrading human capital.Growth is the single most important factor in poverty reduction, so foreign direct investment is also central to achieving that important World Bank goal. Government-led programs that improve social safety nets and explicitly redistribute assets and income might direct more of the fruits of growth to the poor. But these are complements - not alternatives - to sensible growth-oriented policies. And growth is needed to fund these government-led programs.Moreover, the delivery of social services to the poor - from insurance schemes to such basic services as water and energy - can clearly benefit from reliance on foreign investors.In short, foreign direct investment remains one of the most effective tools in the fight against poverty.This paper - a product of the Private Sector Advisory Services Department - is part of a larger effort in the department to analyze the role of private sector development in poverty reduction.
