This is the first definitive study of the nature and dynamics of poverty in Lebanon. It goes beyond the numbers and statistics and allows the poor to describe the reality of being poor. The first chapter is a quantitative analysis of all the reports and data on poverty in Lebanon. It looks at the Human Development Index as well and the Millennium Development Goals and Lebanon's status in both. Th remainder of the chapters analyzes eight specific urban, rural and refugee communities to understand the causes and face of poverty. The book has been acknowledged as ground breaking by the Minister of Social Affairs, NGOs, as well as multilateral agencies in the country.
