Why growth is not enough: Household poverty dynamics in Northeast Gujarat, India
研究发现，尽管古吉拉特邦1990年代年增长率超9%，但东北部36个村庄的贫困状况几乎未变，25年间仅9.5%家庭脱贫，同时6.3%家庭陷入贫困，且脱贫与致贫原因不对称，表明仅靠增长不足以大规模减贫。
Despite high growth rates in Gujarat, exceeding 9 per cent per year over the decade of the 1990s, poverty in 36 villages located in the northeastern part of this state has changed hardly at all. In these villages, 9.5 per cent of households escaped from poverty over the past 25 years, but 6.3 per cent of households became poor at the same time. Escape and descent are not symmetric: different reasons account for escaping poverty than those for declining into poverty. Growth alone is hardly sufficient to achieve poverty reduction on any significant scale. Public policies will be needed to address directly the separate causes for descent into poverty.
