In its nine chapters, it takes the readers through trends and estimates of poverty in India, explains changes in the way it has been measured over time and the factors that lead to persistence of poverty, draws attention to the fact that hunger is both a cause and an effect of poverty and has gender and age dimensions too. The book revisits strategies that were successful in addressing poverty emanating from situations of conflict, presents a discussion on migration as a critical coping mechanism among poor, analyses the links between ill health and poverty as well as education and poverty to draw attention to the policy imperatives that need attention. India?s report card on poverty remains dismal even though there is recognition of the importance of reducing or eliminating or ending it at both national and global levels. Despite rapid economic growth and improvement on a range of development indicators, an unacceptably high proportion of India?s population continues to suffer poverty in multiple dimensions. SDG 1 or ?ending poverty in all its forms everywhere? cannot be achieved unless policies and poverty alleviation programmes understand and address chronic poverty and its dynamics. This requires that we estimate and understand the extent of poverty, the factors that lead to people getting stuck in it and the ways this can be addressed. It also requires understanding the dynamic nature of poverty or the fact that many of those who are poor are able to move out of poverty as well as the fact that many others who are not poor become impoverished. These are the issues that are comprehensively examined and addressed in this book. In addition to students, teachers and researchers in the areas of development, economic growth, equity and welfare, the book is also of great interest to policy makers, planners and non?government agencies who are concerned with understanding and addressing poverty-related issues in the developing countries. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aSocial change 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aDevelopment and Social Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913030 606 $aDevelopment Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913020 606 $aSocial Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31020 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aSocial change. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment and Social Change. 615 24$aDevelopment Policy. 615 24$aSocial Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 676 $a338.9 702 $aMehta$b Aasha Kapur$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBhide$b Shashanka$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKumar$b Anand$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aShah$b Amita$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349471103321 996 $aPoverty, Chronic Poverty and Poverty Dynamics$92533142 997 $aUNINA
