This study presents comparative research on household livelihood mobility in two villages within Madhya Pradesh, India. This paper identifies why some households have been able to take advantage of new economic opportunities and why the livelihoods of others have stagnated or declined. The study discusses the impact of external market links on poverty and vulnerability, and explores the nature of coping and accumulation strategies to understand how short-term shocks and opportunities change the longer-term livelihood strategies of households.
