Channels and Policy Debate in the Globalization-Inequality-Poverty Nexus
Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: June, 26 , 2005The paper offers a critical literature review of the debate surrounding the globalization-
poverty nexus, focusing on channels and linkages through which globalization affects
the poor. After introducing four different concepts used to measure trends in world
income inequality, it examines first the ‘growth’ conduit through which globalization
affects poverty. Treating inequality as the explicit filter between growth and poverty
reduction, the causal chain of openness-growth-inequality-poverty is scrutinized, link by
link. [Discussion Paper No. 2005/08]
