Abstract

Based on the perspective of change in the growth rate of income or poverty index, seven types of measurement methods in pro-poor growth are analyzed. The multi-dimensional perspective of pro-poor growth can still go further, and could study the growth and distributional effects from a multi-dimensional perspective. In addition, dealing with the non-anonymous nature of pro-poor growth is a serious problem.
