Abstract

In this chapter, the authors examine whether country level differences in ethnic diversity explain variations in development indicators and the progress made towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). They argue that ethnic diversity could have development-enhancing or hindering effect. They draw on evidence from 119 developing countries and show that ethnic diversity has hampered progress towards many of the MDG targets. The authors discuss the need to identify the mechanisms through which the positive impacts of ethnic diversity can be better harnessed as well as taking actions to reduce its negative impacts.
