More than three billion people, nearly half of humankind, live on less than        two-and-a-half U.S. dollars per person per day. Studies have shown repeatedly that        the main and often the sole asset of the poor is their labor. It follows that to        understand global poverty one must understand labor markets and labor earnings in        the developing world. Excellent books exist on ending world poverty that discuss in        depth many important aspects of economic development but do not focus on employment        and self-employment, work and non-work. Working Hard, Working Poor fills in where        the other books leave off.Issues of analyzing poverty and low earnings in the        developing world are quite different from those in the developed world. The        discourse in the developed world is about incentive effects of social welfare        programs, cultures of poverty, single-parenthood, homelessness, drug and alcohol        abuse, ill health, mental illness, domestic violence, and the like. But in the        developing world, different issues predominate, such as own-account work and        household enterprises, agricultural work, casual employment, and informal work. And        some of the policy issues--stimulating economic growth, harnessing the energies of        the private sector, increasing paid employment, and raising the returns to        self-employment--take a different twist. This book shows how people in poverty work,        what has been effective in helping the poor earn their way out of poverty, and how        readers might help.
