In May 2015, BEAM Exchange and USAID’s Leveraging Economic Opportunities (LEO) project launched an ediscussion on the links between wage work, poverty, and market development. The discussion involved over 200 participants from 34 countries, drawing from market development practitioners, labour economists and researchers, technical representatives at donor agencies, and others. A collation of the main discussion points and featured reading will be published in July 2015. Weekly summaries are available:
- Week 1 summary: focus on the core issues and practical implications of rural poverty and wage labour.
- Week 2 summary: focus on structural transformation.
- Week 3 summary: focus on results measurement
