The other
side of poverty
Most countries could eradicate income
poverty if there were less inequality.
In order to reduce inequality
we need a profile both of the poor and
the rich. A growing number of studies tries to develop tools
for the study of the rich; others bring results
from quantitative research about them. 
Racial Inequalities
Poverty and racial inequalities are strongly related not only because of racism but also due to low social mobility over decades.

women is an indispensable step for advancing development and reducing
poverty. Empirical research is crucial to promote gender equality and
the economic autonomy of women. Recent publications discuss issues

as equality at work, the feminization of poverty and many others. Many
of them can be found at the IPC,
that publishes the Poverty In Focus, among others.
