| Abstract | In November 2010, the UK Department for International Development invited a small group of academics to discuss and take stock of 'what we think we know' about poverty. This led to conversations about " Where are the gaps in our knowledge and learning? " and, " What is the future direction for research on poverty? " DFID Research and Evidence Division convened two roundtable discussions with a group of senior academic researchers in November 2010 and March 2011 to reflect on new poverty concepts and indicators , to discuss their implications for policy and practice and, looking forward, to identify gaps that should be addressed through future research and synthesis. This final poverty and well-being note is an output from a further stage in the process where a drafting group came together to reflect on these questions in more detail and drafted this note to outline a position on key learning and future directions for research, which was then circulated back to the wider group for comment and feedback. The purpose of publishing the final paper now is to gather comment and generate debate over the issues raised across a broader range of voices. It is an opportunity both to test the level of consensus that can be built on defining priority research areas on poverty and wellbeing whilst identifying the remaining points of debate and divergence. The purpose of this debate is to stimulate further thinking and high quality research on poverty, and help inform the decisions and thinking of those working and engaged in poverty research. |
