Однако по-прежнему остаются огромные проблемы.

    Africa

    This paper documents a significant
    impact of climate variation on urbanization in Sub-Saharan
    Africa, primarily in more arid countries. By lowering farm
    incomes, reduced moisture availability encourages migration
    to nearby cities, while wetter conditions slow migration.
    The paper also provides evidence for rural-urban income
    links. In countries with a larger industrial base, reduced
    moisture shrinks the agricultural sector and raises total

    Asia, India

    O Censo Indiano de 2011 contabilizou 833 milhões de pessoas vivendo em áreas rurais, sendo agricultores cerca de 95,8 milhões. A Índia rural, nas últimas décadas, passa por uma grave crise agrária, como consequência da comercialização da agricultura, da dominação do setor por corporações multinacionais, dívidas enormes entre os pequenos agricultores e trabalhadores agrícolas.

    Brazil, China, India

    favorable initial conditions for rapid poverty reduction
    through market-led economic growth; at the outset of the

    relatively low inequality in access to the opportunities so
    created, though inequality has risen markedly since. By
