Human Development Through Poverty Alleviation

Chamhuri Siwar

Chapter 11 in Alternative Perspectives in Third-World Development, 1996, pp 200-219 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract An analysis of recent development experience indicates that there is a growing concern to link economic and human development. In the past, emphasis on attaining national income and GNP growth has resulted in countries not giving sufficient attention to redistributive measures, providing basic needs and extending the benefits of development to a large section of the population. Poverty still prevails in a significant proportion in the developing countries, causing debilitating effects on human development.
