This brochure is prepared as an ILO contribution to the Fourth World Conference on Women, and is intended as a practical and didactic guide for policy and programme development for poverty eradication. It presents a thematic approach to major poverty alleviation strategies, based on lessons learned by ILO, and argues for a recognition of the interlinkages between the social, economic, legal and political spheres of action for effective poverty eradication.
