Asia is facing many challenges arising from population growth, rapid urbanization, provision of services, climate change and the need to redress declining growth after the global financial crisis. This book examines poverty and related issues and aims to advance the development of new tools and measurement of multidimensional poverty and poverty reduction policy analysis. The book covers a wide range of issues, including determinants and causes of poverty and its changes; consequences and impacts of poverty on human capital formation, growth and consumption; assessment of poverty strategies and policies; the role of government, NGOs and other institutions in poverty reduction; rural-urban migration and poverty; vulnerability to poverty; breakdown of poverty into chronic and transitory components; and a comparative study on poverty issues in Asia and other regions. The book will appeal to all those interested in economic development, resources, policies and economic welfare and growth. 410 0$aEconomic Studies in Inequality, Social Exclusion and Well-Being,$x2364-107X 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aClimate change 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 610 $aDevelopment Economics 610 $aEconomic Policy 610 $aSocial Policy 610 $aClimate Change Management and Policy 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 676 $a338.95 700 $aHeshmati$b Almas$4edt$0803496 702 $aHeshmati$b Almas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMaasoumi$b Esfandiar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWan$b Guanghua$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a996200351503316 996 $aPoverty Reduction Policies and Practices in Developing Asia$93358446 997 $aUNISA
