The document discusses rural-urban linkages and divides. It outlines that lack of linkages between rural and urban areas is divisive and bad for growth, poverty reduction, and equity. Facilitating the flow of resources to where they will have the largest impact on growth and poverty is a key goal. Rural and urban areas can be linked through factors like technology opportunities, trade, infrastructure, human capital and migration, and environmental resources. Specific linkages discussed include agriculture technology, ICT, and energy/biofuels. The document argues for strengthening rural-urban linkages to promote development.

This is an essay which presents the following two points.
1. The role of Social Work in India in assessing and protecting people in need.
2. The extent to which Social Work changed over the last 40 years and factors that contributed to some of these changes.
Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative fashioned the Multidimensional Poverty Index to better capture the different dimensions of deprivation. It used 10 variables spread across the 3 dimensions of Education (2), Health (2), and Living Standards (6).

3. The development goals and economics
of rural-urban linkages
So what? Lack of r/u-linkages is divisive, bad
for growth, & poverty, & equity
Goal: Facilitate resources to flow where they
will have the largest growth and poverty
reduction benefit
Economics of linkages:
• Cutting transactions- and transfer-cost
• Stimulating externalities and spill-over
effects that foster well-being

14. 2) ICT: Results at the macro level
• ICTs reduce transaction costs + open
markets + additional network externalities
• Tele-density is positively associated
with growth:
- 10 more mobiles per 100 people increse
GDP p.c. by 0.6% (Wavermann et.al. 2004)
- Minimum threshold: around 15% to get
strongest growth effects (actual is only
6% (Torero, von Braun 2005)

2. Like 1., but with second-generation cellulosic
conversion and crop productivity increases:

2. Old and new rural-urban linkages
3. Ways forward
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, Washington DC, November, 2006
35. Actors & factors affecting the
nature of urban-rural linkages
Global level National level Local level
• Trade & •Macro policies • Nature of
production agricultural land
regulation and •Regulatory policies •Population density
liberalization (market, legal) and distribution
•Land use
•IPR •Decentralization •Roads and
transportation
•Science •Choice of public •Water management
investments •Quality of local
government
•Access to ICTs •Social networks
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, Washington DC, November, 2006
36. What where?
For instance in remote areas
Emphasis on small scale agriculture that will
fuel the diversification of the rural economy.
Investments in:
- Roads
- Investment in agricultural research and
education
- Water management
- Electricity and telecommunications at local
levels
- Activation of financial and land markets
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, Washington DC, November, 2006
37. Ways forward
1. Scaling up agriculture innovation together
with infrastructure investment
2. Decentralization to better determine and
meet local needs
3. Scope for public-private partnerships
4. Filling the knowledge gaps (multi-sector,
spatial, and institutional data)
