Reducing Poverty in Asia: Emerging Issues in Growth, Targeting, and MeasurementChristopher M. Edmonds, Asian Development Bank Edward Elgar Publishing, 1 ian. 2003 - 351 pagini In this book, a group of distinguished authors addresses three broad questions: what broad strategies and macroeconomic policies best support poverty reduction efforts in Asia; what role should targeted antipoverty interventions play, and how should such interventions be designed; and how is poverty measured, what new approaches are needed, and how does measurement affect our understanding of poverty. Each of these three broad themes is also considered together in chapters examining the poverty situations in a number of countries in Asia and the Pacific. |
