كانون الثاني/يناير 2011
This paper, the third in the SDD Working Paper series, examines the main poverty trends and challenges in the ESCWA region against the backdrop of global trends. Bearing in mind data limitations, it shows that the region has experienced a mixed record of progress in the fight against poverty. This calls for corrective measures to accelerate poverty reduction in the countries and sub regions that are currently lagging behind. The paper emphasizes the urgent need for reliable regional data on poverty and inequality, and proposes that poverty measurement and analysis move into multidimensional approaches beyond mere income poverty. The paper concludes by identifying policy options in three key social areas: social inclusion, social protection and employment.
