Book Pathways Out of Poverty in Rural Laos

Download or read book Pathways Out of Poverty in Rural Laos written by Jonna P. Estudillo and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a rare individual-level data set, this paper explores the role of education and farmland on the choice of job of three generations of household members in rural Laos. While the first (G1) and the second (G2) generations are mainly engaged in farming, the youngest generation (G3) is engaged in nonfarm wage and overseas work. Education matters in nonfarm wage work, but not necessarily in overseas work. The female members of G3 are more likely to migrate. Our findings imply a shortage of jobs in rural Laos, pushing the less educated and the females to cross the border to Thailand.

Book Lao People s Democratic Republic Systematic Country Diagnostic

Download or read book Lao People s Democratic Republic Systematic Country Diagnostic written by Weltbankgruppe and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lao PDR has made important gains in development in recent decades. Incomes rose, poverty declined, access to several key public services improved, and Lao PDR met a number of its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Lao PDR's asset endowments, geography, and economic and social legacies have intertwined to shape a development experience of strong growth, limited inclusion, and considerable risks to sustainability. This reflects relative abundance of natural resources; landlocked and small size, ethnically diverse but part of a rapidly growing region; and institutions that have not kept pace with the changes in the economy. This Systematic Country Authority Diagnostic (SCD) aims to identify interventions that would deliver sustained growth and edge Lao PDR toward the twin goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The SCD employs a framework with three main pathways toward the twin goals, each addressing weaknesses identified in the diagnostics. Sustainably and efficiently managing the country's natural resources, including collecting and managing resource rents, (Pathway 1) is critical to delivering strong growth and securing resources to build Lao PDR's endowments of human and physical capital. Pathway 2 focuses on unlocking opportunities in the non-resource sectors to increase farmers' incomes and create non-farm jobs, while Pathway 3 emphasizes improvements in human capital required to increase the ability of people to take on these opportunities. Measures to address the high vulnerability of people in Lao PDR further inform Pathway 3. The SCD also highlights the importance of strengthening institutions and governance, a critical cross-cutting challenge that affects progress in each of the three areas above. The pathways can be easily mapped to the three main outcomes of the eighth National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP).

Book Lao People s Democratic Republic Poverty Assessment 2020

Download or read book Lao People s Democratic Republic Poverty Assessment 2020 written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) has made substantial progress in poverty reduction, despite the fact that its resource-based development pattern has historically limited the impact of growth on poverty reduction. Although poverty declined, mirroring economic growth, the impact of growth on poverty reduction was low. As a result, the country lacks productive industries to absorb labor and create high-quality jobs. The Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB) has conducted the LECS at five-year intervals since 1992-1993.The LECS survey is the primary source of official poverty statistics in Lao PDR, providing critical information for monitoring progress on poverty reduction, identifying poor and vulnerable groups, and ultimately informing government policies aimed at poverty eradication. This poverty assessment will provide insights into the success (or lack thereof) of poverty reduction in Lao PDR during the past six years. The report will also help identify poor and vulnerable populations as well as emerging issues that have slowed progress toward inclusive development. The report is divided into two parts. Section 1 provides updates on poverty and inequality in Lao PDR. Section 2 approaches key drivers of poverty and escape routes from poverty by topic.
