abstract: 'We perform a systematic review of the literature on the association

  between income, employment, and urban poverty from a multidisciplinary

  perspective. Our results, derived from the analysis of 243 articles,

  confirm the significant role of employment in the urban poor''s lives,

  highlighting several factors that constrain their ability to improve

  their labour market outcomes: lack of access to public transport,

  geographical segregation, labour informality, among others. Furthermore,

  the paper finds different strategies used by the poor to promote their

  inclusion in their city''s economy. We found a major bias towards

  research focused on advanced economies, stressing the need for

  development studies dealing with the specific challenges of developing

  economies.'
