Poverty Reduction and Growth
"That raising income levels alleviates poverty, and that economic growth can be more or less effective in doing so, is well known and has received renewed attention in the search for pro-poor growth. What is less well explored is the reverse channel: that poverty may, in fact, be part of the reason for a country's poor growth performance.

What Job Would You Apply To? Findings on the Impact of Language on Job Searches
In this study, we examine the efficacy of four nuanced language interventions in job postings within male-dominated fields, aiming to attract female applicants.

Our findings indicate that both male and female participants value informative and inclusive language, with women exhibiting greater sensitivity. The impact of supplementary words in an advertisement is pronounced when inclusive language is subtle but diminishes with stronger inclusivity signals. This research underscores the significance of language and information presentation in job advertisements for fostering a gender-balanced workforce.

Yet, h...
