Globalization, Production and Poverty
Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: June, 23 , 2005The impact of globalization on poverty is a matter of keen debate but empirical work in
this area has been dominated by cross-country regressions. This paper attempts to link
the more macro impacts of globalization, particularly as manifested through the impact
on employment, with the micro level analysis of poverty at the individual and household
level. The link is provided through the analysis of specific value chains (horticulture,
textiles and garments) which are driven by changes at the global level but which have
impacts at the local level in terms of employment and poverty. [Research Paper No. 2005/40]
