Description

Anil B. Deolalikar. The extent & seriousness of poverty vary across Asian develop. countries, & so does the rate at which poverty has changed over time. Also, there are large differences in the extent to which social serv., esp. health & educ., reach the poor. Poverty, therefore, is the outcome not only of econ. phenomena but also of social & political processes & how these interact with each other. Mediating these interactions is a variety of institutions (IN) that are important to understanding poverty & devising policies. This report examines the effects of IN on poverty reduction & the pathways through which these effects operate. Chapters: analytical approaches to poverty reduction; the role of political, social & cultural IN; & reforming public IN for poverty reduction.
