The United Nations has found a new villain in the global war on poverty: the very jobs that have lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty in recent decades.

A new U.N. report, “Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth,” says economic growth is no longer an acceptable way to fight poverty. Why? Because it often “relies on the plundering of natural resources and cheap labour in the Global South,” a reference to the poor countries previously referred to as the Third World.
