Abstract
Today three-quarters of the extreme poor live in middle-income
countries. There is a clear link between growth and income
inequality in large middle-income countries, making poverty and
associated problems increasingly a distribution issue. Livelihood
studies – through a holistic perspective on how poor people
organise themselves a living – have made a significant
contribution in the past two decades to our understanding of
processes of inclusion and exclusion and thus of the root causes
of poverty and marginalisation. The greatest challenge now is
translating livelihood studies into social protection policies that
countervail social exclusion
