Growth and Chronic Poverty in Nicaragua

Steve Wiggins
2006

Abstract

This background paper for the Chronic Poverty Report 2007–08 addresses three key questions: 1) Where there is sustained economic growth, how can governments ensure that markets operate in ways that include the chronically poor on beneficial terms? 2) Where there is low or no growth, how can the economy and market institutions be successfully stimulated and how can this be done in ways that enable rather than inhibit the participation of chronically poor people at good rates of return? 3) What can governments do to prevent economic stagnation and state fragility from occurring in the first place?
