Reducing poverty, whether globally or locally, has always comprised a set of complex critical tasks. But just as essential as the tasks is their underlying worldview: where formerly the emphasis was on changing institutions and thus changing people, the movement now is away from paternalistic remedies and toward culturally aware organizations and efforts to develop the untapped resources of people and their communities. Anti-Poverty Psychology traces the evolution of conceptualizations of poverty and its solutions, forcefully arguing for a higher level of current and future efforts. This visionary volume provides readers with a clear roadmap from goals (e.g., the Millennium Development Goals) to implementation that neither shames nor objectifies those being served. The author demonstrates how, in both research and the real world, progress is best achieved through systematic, cross-disciplinary, multi-perspective collaboration, alignment with local values, and greater accountability on the part of all involved. Coverage balances macro, meso and micro levels of analysis in such areas as:  Constructs of personality: beyond mythmaking and pathologizing. Building the socially responsible organization. The role of community in self-empowerment. Harnessing the potential of markets in poverty reduction. Minting media social capital The hidden psychology of international aid. Mobilizing human talent locally Developing research advocacy and its component skills. The perspective-widening stance and depth of insight found in Anti-Poverty Psychology gives it significance to audiences across disciplines, as in psychologists researching global development issues, academics interested in learning what motivates educators, community psychologists, and health professionals.

This book examines the links between work wage and wellbeing, drawing on the new specialism of Humanitarian Work Psychology and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Humanitarian work psychology foregrounds people before profit, not wages before people. It resonates with the SDGs through the Decent Work Agenda, a policy program that stresses a number of humanitarian concerns: standards and rights at work, employment creation and enterprise development, social protection and social dialogue. These standards and forms of dialogue, from the living wage standard to new diplomacies for inclusive policy dialogue, appear and re-appear throughout the following chapters and sections in the book. The book synthesizes job characteristics models and psychology of working approaches with job evaluation techniques, poverty trap theory, diminishing marginal returns, work justice theory, the social psychology of equality and inequality, and a range of literatures on wellbeing that crisscross the social sciences. Highlights humanitarian work psychology Provides job evaluation techniques Emphasizes work justice theory.

L'aide internationale au développement apportée par le monde riche aux pays pauvres (« en développement ») représente d'importants flux de capitaux, de ressources humaines et d'assistance technique. Tandis que la direction nette de ces flux reste très controversée, on a identifié plusieurs obstacles à l'utilisation efficiente de l'aide par les pays en développement. Ils tiennent pour beaucoup aux difficultés de mise en oeuvre d'une « bonne gouvernance ». C'est pourquoi les donneurs cherchent de plus en plus à encourager la bonne gouvernance au sein des organismes destinataires de l'aide avec lesquels ils travaillent.
