Globalization, Growth, and Poverty

Home > IDRC > Programs > Social and Economic Policy > Globalization, Growth, and Poverty > Publications

IDRC’s Globalization, Growth, and Poverty team examines the issues relating to inclusive and equitable growth in published reports, policy papers, conference presentations, and books.

Our one-pager series presents key findings from projects we’ve supported. The series offers new evidence and insights, and shows how each can inform policy debates on growth and poverty issues.

Our working paper series consists of literature reviews, scoping studies, intern research, and occasionally, issue-oriented evaluation studies.

All that and more can be found here.
