Overview of Development Equity and Poverty Book

For almost half a century, Professor Azizur Rahman Khan has made important contributions as a teacher, researcher, policy planner, administrator, and economic adviser. While his contributions to Development Economics have been wide ranging and fundamental, his policy advice has often provided credible alternatives to the more orthodox responses to problems faced by developing countries and by countries going through economic transition. The essays in this volume are written by a group of distinguished scholars who have been Professor Khan s students, friends or colleagues. While Professor Khan has engaged with a range of issues in the field of Development Economics, a common thread that connects his work is an assertion that poverty reduction and relative equality are not dichotomous; inequality adversely affects the poverty reducing potential of economic growth. The essays in this volume are inspired by this central theme in Professor Khan s work. The papers are arranged under six broad themes: macroeconomics of development interlinkages among growth, poverty and inequality analysis of poverty employment-intensive growth labour markets, wages and poverty rural development UNDP is the UN S global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.
