Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines poverty through various lenses, including its relationship with macroeconomic conditions, the impact of social protection programs like cash transfers and tax credits, and the role of targeting technologies in defining poverty. It also explores the multidimensional nature of poverty, considering factors such as asset accumulation, access to basic amenities, education, housing, and the effects of migration and natural disasters. The journal investigates income inequality, its drivers, and its relationship with economic growth and crime, as well as the influence of social capital and institutional quality on poverty reduction efforts.
