Riassunto

In 1991 India launched a series of wide-ranging economic reforms. In this volume, the contributors critically evaluate the twin objectives of the reforms and suggest important policy correctives for alleviating poverty. The compiled chapters present recent empirical data on the stabilization and structural adjustment measures introduced in India and their impact on the balance of payments, growth, employment, and inflation, as well as the combined result of all these on poverty. Economic Reforms and Poverty Alleviation in India considers a wide range of issues, including differentials in urban and rural poverty, whether the rise in the incidence of rural poverty in particular was an inevitable consequence of the reform process, and the role the state can play in the new order. The contributors also examine the experiences of several countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia and compare their structural adjustment processes to the course adopted by India. Economic Reforms and Poverty Alleviation in India provides new insights of interest to students, researchers, and other professionals in the fields of economics, development studies, and policy studies.
