Asias  recent demographic transitions and rural-urban structural  transformations are extraordinary and involve complexities  that require in-depth study. The chapters within this  volume examine those complexities using a range of  traditional and nontraditional measures--such as  multidimensional poverty, gaps, and polarization--to arrive  at the conclusion that poverty is now an urban issue. This  volume offers an essential resource for economic policy  makers and students of development economics to understand  the interrelationships between internal migration,  urbanization, and poverty in Asia, paving the way for the  improved management of internal migration, and  disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.
