Poverty, human development and growth : an emerging consensus?
American Economic Review
1994
This paper considers several issues relevant to the debate on the extent to which poverty, or development progress in general, should be measured by income or by a broader set of objectives. Issues covered here are: practical implications of the two approaches for poverty reduction efforts; the impact of growth on basic social indicators; and how national achievement on social indicators is best measured. Sri Lanka and Pakistan, countries often cited in this debate, are used as examples.
