| Description |
The paper reexamine the nature of the growth-poverty-inequality nexus in the Philippines during the second half of the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. It gives new estimates of national and spatial poverty, assesses the relative contributions of growth and redistribution to the observed changes in poverty measures, and examines the determinants of regional poverty using a consistently assembled regional data set for the period. Among other things, it finds that, contrary to popular perception, the growth process in recent years and across regions of the country has not had strongly adverse impact on the position of the poor. Poverty responds elastically to growth, although the economy's ability to translate growth to poverty reduction appears weaker than for the "average" developing country.
