This book examines official income poverty statistics and trends, but then takes a more multidimensional approach in exploring questions of access.
The report looks at access by the poor to five important assets: human, physical, natural, social, and financial capital. The framework is built on the sustainable livelihoods approach, where vulnerability is a central concept.
