Listening to the voices of the poor -- Definitions of poverty -- State institutions -- Civil society institutions -- Changing gender relations in the household -- Social fragmentation -- Conclusions : the way forward.
"Voices of the Poor" provides a unique and detailed picture of the life of the poor and explains the constraints poor people face to escape from poverty in a way that more traditional survey techniques do not capture well. Each of the three volumes demonstrates the importance of voice and power in poor people's definition of poverty. 'Voices of the Poor' concludes that we need to expand our conventional views of poverty which focus on income expenditure, education, and health to include measures of voice and empowerment.
