Industrialization cum Poverty Reduction: The Cases of Bangladesh and Cambodia

  • Chapter
Book cover Poverty Reduction and Beyond

Part of the book series: IDE-JETRO ((IDE))

Abstract

Most studies on poverty reduction focus on the life of the poor, and most researchers studying prospective income-generating opportunities for the poor pay attention to the economic activities in which the poor are engaged, such as agriculture and non-farm services in villages.1 These tendencies might seem obvious because of a direct and visible link between where the poor live and what they do. However, the cause of poverty might stem from where they live and what they do. Getting out of these could be a solution to getting out of poverty.
