Episode description

The 'strugglers', those who are not poor by conventional international poverty measures, but are nevertheless far from the middle class, are a large but neglected group in development discourse. In her keynote address at the 2018 Australasian Aid Conference, Nancy Birdsall discussed the challenges they face and their prospects.

The Conference was held at Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU, on 13-14 February, and was organised by the Development Policy Centre in partnership with The Asia Foundation.
