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  aEconomic reform - India  aPoverty - India  aPoverty  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a43450  c43450d43450  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 34, Issue no: 50pAR43845r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
