But how much do poor people share in growth? Do they gain more in some settings than others? Do some gain while others lose? Does pro-poor growth mean more or less aggregate growth? Recent theories and evidence suggest some answers, but deeper microeconomic empirical work is needed on growth and distributed change. Only then will we have a firm basis for identifying the specific policies and programs needed to complement and possibly modify growth-oriented policies.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYABSOLUTE TERMSADVERSE EFFECTSAFFLUENCEAGGREGATE GROWTHAGGREGATE INEQUALITYANNUALIZED CHANGEANTI-POVERTY PROGRAMSASSET INEQUALITYAVERAGE INCOMEAVERAGE INCOMESAVERAGE RATEBASIC EDUCATIONCONSUMPTION GROWTHCOUNTRY DATACOUNTRY INEQUALITYCREDIT MARKETCROSS-COUNTRY COMPARISONSCROSS-COUNTRY DATADATA SETDATA SETSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING WORLDDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDISTRIBUTIONAL CHANGEDISTRIBUTIONAL COMPONENTDISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTSDISTRIBUTIVE POLITICSDIVERSE IMPACTSECONOMIC CONTRACTIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC LITERATUREECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC RESEARCHECONOMIC REVIEWEMPIRICAL RELATIONSHIPEMPIRICAL RESULTSEMPIRICAL WORKESTIMATION METHODEXCHANGE RATESEXTERNAL TRADEFALLING POVERTYFINANCIAL CRISISFIXED EFFECTSFOREIGN TRADEGINI INDEXGROWTH ELASTICITYGROWTH PROSPECTSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESGROWTH REGRESSIONGROWTH REGRESSIONSHIGH CORRELATIONHIGH INEQUALITYHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCEINCOME DISPARITIESINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME EFFECTINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME LEVELSINEQUALITY CONVERGENCEINEQUALITY MEASURESINEQUALITY WILLINFLATIONLIVING STANDARDSLOG GINILOW FARM PRODUCTIVITYLOW INEQUALITYLOW INEQUALITY COUNTRIESLOW- INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMICSMARKET FAILURESMEAN INCOMEMEASURED INEQUALITYMEASUREMENT ERRORMEASUREMENT ERRORSMEASUREMENT PROBLEMSMEASURING INEQUALITYMEDIAN POVERTYMEDIUM INEQUALITYMEDIUM LEVELSMICRO DATANATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL INCOMENEW GROWTH THEORIESNON-FARM OUTPUTOUTPUT GROWTHPAPERSPER CAPITA GROWTHPER CAPITA GROWTH RATEPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY CHANGESPOLICY DISCUSSIONPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY ISSUESPOLICY MAKINGPOLICY REFORMPOLICY REFORMSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLITICAL PARTIESPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASUREPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY REDUCINGPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONPRO-POORPRO-POOR GROWTHPROPORTIONATE CHANGESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC PROGRAMSPUBLIC SPENDINGPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUALITY GROWTHREDUCING INEQUALITYRISING INEQUALITYSECONDARY SOURCESSIZABLE REDISTRIBUTIONSKILLED LABORTRANSITION ECONOMIESURBAN AREASWEALTH10.1596/1813-9450-2558
