[Elektronische Daten] [Martin Ravallion, Gaurav Datt] Using a new series of consistent, consumption-based poverty measures spanning forty years, we assess how much India's poor shared in the country's economic growth, taking into account its urban-rural and output composition. Rural consumption growth reduced poverty in both rural and urban areas. Urban growth brought some benefits to the urban poor, but had no impact on rural poverty. And rural-to-urban population shifts had no significant impact on poverty. Decomposing growth by output sectors, we found that output growth in the primary and tertiary sectors reduced poverty in both urban and rural areas but that secondary sector growth did not reduce poverty in either. © 1996 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / THE WORLD BANK Articles nationallicence Ravallion Martin aut Datt Gaurav aut The World Bank Economic Review Oxford University Press 10/1(1996-01), 1-25 0258-6770 10:1<1 1996 10 wber https://doi.org/10.1093/wber/10.1.1 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/wber/10.1.1 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Ravallion Martin aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Datt Gaurav aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- The World Bank Economic Review Oxford University Press 10/1(1996-01), 1-25 0258-6770 10:1<1 1996 10 wber Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
