The estimates present a mixed picture of a moderate decline in urban poverty rates, but relatively unchanging levels of rural poverty during the 1990s, which seems largely attributable to differential growth in average living standards in the two sectors. However, the unresolved and increasing discrepancy between the national accounts and survey-based estimates of consumption growth raises doubts about how egalitarian the growth process has been over this decade. - Reproduced Economic reform - India Poverty - India Poverty Economic and Political Weekly 43450 43450 43450 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 34, Issue no: 50 AR43845 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
