Abstract

It has long been recognized that income poverty, joblessness and lack of access to public goods and services reduce people’s ability to lead productive and healthy lives. The effects of such inequalities are, at times, devastating. Among them, malnutrition, bad health, social exclusion, violence and political instability, have led governments and international development organizations to take notice and introduce policies that redress such inequities. To date, and despite mixed results, commitments to bring about much needed change remain prevalent on the international agenda and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) speak to that effect.1
