Vol. 1, confronting crisis in Cisne Dos, Guayaquil, Ecuadorh[electronic resource] :cCaroline Moser  aWashington, D.C. :bThe World Bank,c1997  a1 online resource (160 p.)  aThis case study presents the main findings from the community of Cisne Dos, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The study explored how poor households respond to changes in economic circumstances and labor market conditions, what strategies they adopt to limit the impact of shocks and generate additional resources, and what constraints impede their actions. Three features distinguish this study from other poverty studies:a micro-level approach combining households and communities as the main units of analysis, an unusually long period of observation for some communities and households, and a comparative framework offering fours cases with very different economic development levels and institutional contexts. The study concludes with some priority recommendations for action:1) support households in their role as safety net; 2) alleviate constraints on women's labor supply; 3) ensure that social capital is not taken for granted; 4) develop social policy that integrates human capital and social capital; 5) pursue further research; and 6) develop tools and indicators to strengthen the assets of the poor.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aAccess to Finance 0aCommunities & Human Settlements 0aEnvironment 0aEnvironmental Economics and Policies 0aFinance and Financial Sector Development 0aHealth, Nutrition and Population 0aHousing and Human Habitats 0aPopulation Policies 0aPoverty Reduction 0aRural Development 0aRural Poverty Reduction1 aMoser, Caroline08aPrint Version:z9780821338476 0aWorld Bank e-Library.40uhttp://elibrary.worldbank.org/content/book/9780821338476
