Armut in Entwicklungsländern.

The book "Poverty in Developing Countries" by Hans-Bernd Schäfer offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex issue of poverty in various developing nations. The authors, experienced development economists and practitioners of development policy, examine the multifaceted aspects of poverty that go beyond mere income issues. They shed light on the causes and effects of poverty, which encompass not only economic but also social dimensions, such as education, healthcare, and social mobility. The book provides a critical discussion of the role of economic and social policy, as well as international development policy, in combating poverty. By employing different measurement concepts, it illustrates the complexity of poverty and demonstrates that despite economic growth in some regions, poverty remains a pressing problem. The empirical data and analyses in the book offer valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in the fight against poverty.
