The analysis reveals a decline in overall consumption inequality across both rural and urban areas, which also coincides with periods of high real GDP growth. However, the decline in inequality is uneven across food and non-food groups. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/16/commentary/consumption-inequality-and-poverty-india.html Economic & Political Weekly AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408420 IIPA IIPA 2026-05-05 61(16), Apr 18, 2026: p.17-20 AR138762 2026-05-05 AR
