Description: |
Examines India's experience with poverty reduction in a period of rapid economic growth. Marshalling evidence from multiple sources of survey data and drawing on new methods, it asks how India's structural transformation - from rural to urban, and from agriculture to non-farm sectors - is impacting poverty. |
Synopsis: |
This book provides fresh insights into the evolution and determinants of poverty in India in recent decades. Poverty has fallen steadily but the responsiveness of poverty reduction to economic growth has been uneven over time and across regions. India's recent experience is examined to elicit insights into potential pathways to make growth more inclusive. The book focuses on three: urbanization, as a source of both urban and rural-based growth; expansion of the rural non-farm sector; and tackling social exclusion. |
