Redistribution without Growth

Richard Jolly

Chapter 10 in Development Economics and Policy, 1998, pp 172-182 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hans Singer, over his long and remarkable career, has played a leading and creative role in many areas of development thinking and practice, within the UN and outside it. This chapter describes one of Hans’ less-publicized and less-well-known contributions — his creation of the concept of Redistribution with Growth. The chapter begins in section 10.1 with the origins of the concept during the ILO employment mission to Kenya in 1972 and, in Section 10.2, goes on to describe its subsequent development as the World Bank/IDS study, Redistribution with Growth. Section 10.3 looks back at the proposals in the light of experience of redistribution and growth since the study was published and ends, in Section 10.4, by drawing policy conclusions for the mid-1990s.
