Book Description
Over the past decade, Ecuador has suffered natural disasters, political instability, and financial crises. These events have occurred in the context of already low economic growth and high income inequality and poverty and have exposed the poor to the risk of irreversible losses of assets, including human capital. This paper updates our knowledge of poverty in Ecuador. Chapter 1 describes the high poverty and income inequality in Ecuador, and how both poverty and inequality have been increasing in recent years. Chapter 2 describes the current crisis, the effect of the crisis on the poor and the near-poor, and Government stabilization in response to the crisis. Chapter 3 focuses on the provision of basic public services of nutrition, health, and education to the poor. Chapter 4 reviews those public sector programs specifically targeted on the poor. It begins with the Bono Solidario, and then reviews programs that benefit each of the especially vulnerable groups among the poor. It ends with an assessment of social infrastructure program which have the potential to generate employment. Chapter 5 examines policy options to provide income support, to prevent irreversible physical and mental losses and losses in human capital. Finally, Chapter 6 estimates the cost of implementing the strategy discussed in the previous chapters, and assesses the possibilities of financing the strategy within the Government's expected social sector resource envelope.

Book Description
Ecuador's poor economic performance is not solely nor mainly the result of high volatility, but rather the result of poor economic management and, especially, weak productivity growth. This connection between productivity and economic growth has become even more relevant in recent years, after Ecuador decided to adopt the US dollar as the national currency in 2000, hence forgoing the option of using exchange rate policy to generate temporary increases in competitiveness and growth. Although the decision to dollarize undoubtedly improved the investment climate, reassured potential investors and hence, potentially increased the capacity of the economy to create employment and reduce poverty, sustained increases in productivity will be required to maintain positive growth rates and declining poverty rates in the future. As a consequence, the focus of this report is on productivity growth and its effect on employment, income and, most importantly, poverty. The report pays special attention to the relationship between poverty and the productive sectors, both from a macroeconomic and a microeconomic point of view, and both in urban and rural areas. In following this approach, it not only complements the previous Ecuador Poverty Assessment (World Bank, 2000c), which focused mainly on poverty and social services, but also provides important insights regarding the relationship between economic growth, productivity and employment generation on the one hand, and poverty reduction on the other. Moreover, in thinking about poverty, the report concentrates on monetary, rather than on non- monetary aspects of well-being, since it is the former that appears to be more intimately linked to the evolution of GDP and productivity growth and, hence, has exhibited little improvement over the past years - namely, while social outcomes and access to basic services in Ecuador have improved slowly but continuously since 1980, the national consumption-based poverty rate increased from 40 to 45 percent between 1990 and 2001, as discussed below, with much larger increases in urban areas. . Finally, the report makes use of a variety of sources, both quantitative and qualitative, as well as of existing work in order to provide policy recommendations that will help Ecuador and its government design an effective poverty reduction strategy based on economic and productivity growth.
