Synopsis

Poverty alleviation and socio-economic equality have largely remained the prime focus of India's rapid growth-driven economic processes. This short introduction brings together systematic academic research on an area of extensive debate and divergence-the identification and specification of the poverty line.

The book undertakes a nuanced analysis of:
the measurement of poverty and its associated complexities
the importance of a uniform poverty standard, and the major concerns posed by current policies
the US and the World Bank approaches to poverty assessment
the linkages between economic welfare policies and drawing the poverty line
Through comparative theoretical approach and econometric analyses, it critically reviews and interprets the Indian experience of poverty estimation over the last fifty years; identifies the challenges; and suggests suitable policy interventions towards a more comprehensive approach.
