Inhaltsangabe

Informed by extensive field data, this study argues that a well-designed wage-employment program with a guarantee component can not only address the immediate problem of ensuring employment and wages to the poor, but can also contribute towards promoting economic growth of the poor. In this analysis, a village-level social accounting matrix is built in order to estimate the employment, income, and output multiplier impacts of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) on a village in Gujarat, India. It argues that NREGA works can improve communities by promoting gender equality and strengthening local infrastructure.
