Livelihood Outcomes of Migration for Poor People Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE This report highlights that understanding poverty and poor people's livelihoods, sustainable or not, has become an important focus within international development literatures and policy debates. A livelihoods approach understands poverty as more than just insufficient income. The Sustainable Livelihoods approach favoured by DFID defines livelihoods as 'the capabilities, assets (including both material and social resources) and activities required for a means of living' (Carney 1998: 213). Meanwhile, broader understandings of livelihoods stress the active seeking of livelihoods as 'the tactical and strategic behaviour of impoverished people' (Whitehead 2002: 576), such that livelihoods are 'the diverse ways in which people make a living and build their worlds' (Whitehead 2002: 577). 2026-09-30T11:50:52Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33357012.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Livelihood_Outcomes_of_Migration_for_Poor_People/33357012 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
