Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the major policy challenges facing developing Asia and how the region sustains rapid economic growth to reduce multidimensional poverty through socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable measures. Asia is facing many challenges arising from population growth, rapid urbanization, provision of services, climate change and the need to redress declining growth after the global financial crisis. This book examines poverty and related issues and aims to advance the development of new tools and measurement of multidimensional poverty and poverty reduction policy analysis. The book covers a wide range of issues, including determinants and causes of poverty and its changes; consequences and impacts of poverty on human capital formation, growth and consumption; assessment of poverty strategies and policies; the role of government, NGOs and other institutions in poverty reduction; rural-urban migration and poverty; vulnerability to poverty; breakdown of poverty into chronic and transitory components; and a comparative study on poverty issues in Asia and other regions.

Book excerpt: The paper presents key findings of the Joint Staff Assessment of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) for Sri Lanka. Despite the country's substantial achievements in human development and the economy's external openness, several factors have impeded Sri Lanka's ability to realize its growth potential. The IMF staff considers that Sri Lanka's poverty reduction strategy constitutes an adequate policy framework to increase growth and reduce poverty. However, its successful implementation will require more work in key areas.

Download or read book Poverty and Economic Policy in Sri Lanka written by Muttukrishna Sarvananthan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are gainers and losers in every economic policy instrument. Policymakers would tend to choose economic policies as a result of which the gainers are expected to be greater than the losers. Thus, every economic policy instrument may have implications for income inequality and poverty. The objective of this note is to find out the relationship between economic growth and income inequality and poverty trends in Sri Lanka in the post-independence period, highlight the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and poverty, and provide a critique of the proposed Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) of the Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL).The overall argument of this paper is that, higher economic growth has not resulted in greater income inequality or higher poverty levels in Sri Lanka confounding the international experience, and economic reforms are necessary to accelerate economic growth and reduce poverty, but the type of growth strategy is of critical importance for poverty reduction.
Download or read book Policy Note written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To rejuvenate the slow poverty alleviation process in Sri Lanka, the first step would be to better understand the geographical distribution of poverty, which in turn would require estimating poverty at a level of disaggregation lower than the district level. This policy note summarizes results and experience of a poverty mapping exercise in Sri Lanka that has been conducted in close collaboration with the Department of Census and Statistics (DCS) since 2003. The results of poverty mapping successfully indicate where pockets of severe poverty remain in Sri Lanka, and provide interesting insights-poverty measured as a percentage of population is higher in remote areas, while the absolute number of the poor is larger in urban areas. Also, preliminary results drawn from a map with very high resolution indicate that there are some pockets of poverty even in Colombo District-the growth center of the country. The aim of this report is threefold. First, the report demonstrates that the poverty mapping method developed by Elbers at al (2003) is a useful tool to illustrate the spatial heterogeneity in poverty incidence in Sri Lanka at different levels of resolution (section 2). Second, it highlights the importance of capacity building in ensuring the sustainability of the poverty mapping work (section 3). Third, it discusses new observations regarding the statistical properties of the methodology (section 4).
