Poverty, human development and growth : an emerging consensus?
探讨贫困与发展进步应如何衡量，比较收入指标与更广泛目标（如社会指标）的实践意义，并以斯里兰卡和巴基斯坦为例分析增长对社会指标的影响。
This paper considers several issues relevant to the debate on the extent to which poverty, or development progress in general, should be measured by income or by a broader set of objectives. Issues covered here are: practical implications of the two approaches for poverty reduction efforts; the impact of growth on basic social indicators; and how national achievement on social indicators is best measured. Sri Lanka and Pakistan, countries often cited in this debate, are used as examples.
