    Poverty remains widespread around the world, with 1.4 billion people living in poverty in 2005, most of whom live in Asia. Alleviating poverty and reducing economic inequality should be at the core of all development policies. However, developing countries face greater constraints in their ability to assist the poor due to differences in income distribution.

    countries, poverty remains widespread.
    • In 2005, 25 percent, or about 1.4 billion people around the world
    lived in poverty. Asia is host to a vast majority of world’s poor
    • Asia is host to vast majority of the world’s poor.- 911 million people
    who struggle to meet their basic needs.
    10.1.1 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE OF POVERTY
    AND INEQUALITY

    • Alleviation of poverty and minimization of economic


    inequality is at the core of all development policies.

    • The impact of such differences is more marked in


    developing countries where the government faces greater
    constraints in its ability to provide much needed assistance
    to improve the lot of their poor citizen.
