Poverty in the Philippines: Income, Assets, and AccessAsian Development Bank, 2005 - 152 pagini This publication examines official income poverty statistics and trends, but takes a multidimensional approach in exploring questions of access.

The report identifies seven broad causes of poverty: macroeconomic problems, employment issues, rapid population growth, low agricultural productivity, governance concerns including corruption, armed conflict, and physical disability. |
