The book undertakes a nuanced analysis of: the measurement of poverty and its associated complexities the importance of a uniform poverty standard, and the major concerns posed by current policies the US and the World Bank approaches to poverty assessment the linkages between economic welfare policies and drawing the poverty line Through comparative theoretical approach and econometric analyses, it critically reviews and interprets the Indian experience of poverty estimation over the last fifty years; identifies the challenges; and suggests suitable policy interventions towards a more comprehensive approach.
