Poverty alleviation is a major objective of development. More than
a fifth of the world's population lives in absolute poverty, and
the majority of the poor live in rural areas. This volume studies
what can be done for alleviating rural poverty. Four chapters
address the measurement of poverty and inequality, including the
use of household expenditure surveys and intra-household income
distribution. Evidence is presented for India, Mauritania, Cte
d'Ivoire and China. Other chapters present case studies on
strategies for rural development: provision of rural credit in
Bangladesh and India; technical change in Philippine agriculture;
contract farming in Thailand; and banana growers in the Windwards.
The contributions introduce the problems of rural development and
show that effective rural development is assisted by investment in
education and secure access to credit; that equity is important for
incentives but not directly related to poverty; and that technical
and institutional reform are essential, but require careful design
and implementation.
