Asia is facing many challenges arising from population growth, rapid urbanization, provision of services, climate change and the need to redress declining growth after the global financial crisis. This book examines poverty and related issues and aims to advance the development of new tools and measurement of multidimensional poverty and poverty reduction policy analysis. The book covers a wide range of issues, including determinants and causes of poverty and its changes; consequences and impacts of poverty on human capital formation, growth and consumption; assessment of poverty strategies and policies; the role of government, NGOs and other institutions in poverty reduction; rural-urban migration and poverty; vulnerability to poverty; breakdown of poverty into chronic and transitory components; and a comparative study on poverty issues in Asia and other regions. The book will appeal to all those interested in economic development, resources, policies and economic welfare and growth. 000726467 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 10, 2015). 000726467 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zAsia. 000726467 650_0 $$aPoverty$$xGovernment policy$$zAsia. 000726467 651_0 $$aAsia$$xEconomic policy. 000726467 7001_ $$aHeshmati, Almas,$$eeditor. 000726467 7001_ $$aMaasoumi, Esfandiar,$$d1950-$$eeditor. 000726467 7001_ $$aWan, Guanghua,$$eeditor. 000726467 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789812874191 000726467 830_0 $$aEconomic studies in inequality. social exclusion and well-being. 000726467 852__ $$bebk 000726467 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-287-420-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726467 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726467$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726467 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726467 980__ $$aBIB 000726467 982__ $$aEbook 000726467 983__ $$aOnline 000726467 994__ $$a92$$bISE
