World Bank Technical Paper No. 359. As the telecommunications sector evolves toward a more competitive environment in which the private actors become the main players, it is essential to develop policies that will reduce the disparities between urban and rural telecommunications services. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the technical and financial parameters that have to be considered in formulating such policies. It presents an array of options for commercial operation of rural telecommunications and challenges the general perception that rural telecommunications services are unprofitable. It demonstrates that services can be economically delivered to rural areas at affordable prices while simultaneously providing reasonable financial returns to investors. A planning tool kit is included that assists in the design of the various options.

As part of a study of characteristics of the poor and the ultra-poor at nutritional risks, this paper reviews the evidence on participation rates, duration of work, and rewards per period worked - both as they interact to form average labor income and as they vary in time and space. Labor markets impose interlocking and cumulative disadvantage on the poor: crude participation rates are reduced by high dependency ratios, illness, and other factors; as the poor increasingly rely on wage income, labor duration is cut by unemployment; and wage rates are kept low for the poor by lack of skills, of mobility, and of good health. These disadvantages interact, and fluctuations in participation rates, in employment, and in wage rates are positively correlated and worse for the poor. Other features over-represented among the poor are also correlated with lower participation rates, labor duration, and/or employment. The evidence indicates that redistribution of access to physical and human assets may be needed to enable poor people to compete fairly, even in perfect labor markets.
