Journal of International Development, 2015, vol. 27, issue 3, 388-398

Abstract: This paper reviews the evidence on income and consumption poverty trends since the 1990s at the level of first countries and then individuals and considers how well the current Millennium Development Goals offer the right incentives and monitoring framework to reflect the trajectories and drivers of progress. It then discusses different proposals for the post‐2015 agenda in the light of recent trends and current thinking. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
