2. The proportion of people in developing countries living in extreme economic
poverty
— defined by the World Bank as living on less than $1 per day—has fallen from
28
per cent in 1990 to 21 per cent in 2001. Although there has been a substantial
reduction in global poverty, it is marked with great regional differences.
Poverty
declined substantially in China and Southeast Asian countries as a result of
rapid
economic growth and massive investments in human resource development.
Number
of poor's in China has come down from 606 million in 1981 to 212 million in
2001. In
the countries of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh,
Bhutan)
the decline has not been as rapid. Despite decline in the percentage of the
poor, the
number of poor has declined marginally from 475 million in 1981 to 428 million
in
2001. Because of different poverty line definition, poverty in India is also

4. Poverty in India also has another aspect or dimension. Recent
estimates show that in 20 states and union territories, the poverty
ratio is less than the national average. On the other hand, poverty is
still a serious problem in Orissa, Bihar, Assam, Tripura and Uttar
Pradesh. Orissa and Bihar continue to be the two poorest states
with poverty ratios of 47 and 43 per cent respectively. Along with
rural poverty urban poverty is also high in Orissa, Madhya Pradesh,
Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. In comparison , there has been a
significant decline in poverty in Kerala, Jammu and
Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, TamilNadu, Gujarat and West Bengal.
States like Punjab and Haryana have traditionally succeeded in
reducing poverty with the help of high agricultural growth rates.
Kerala has focused more on human resource development. In West
Bengal, land reform measures have helped in reducing poverty. In
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu public distribution of food grains
could have been responsible for the improvement

• These are the three ways to reduce poverty:
1. Increase the wages of low skill labor or government
redistribution policies.
• The advice to get more education to avoid being poor
works for individuals, but since for many jobs having a
college education does not increase your productivity it
cannot be a solution for everybody. There is also the
problem of people who are poor due to mental or
physical illness which can only be solved with subsidies

19. Economic development, Education
and Health
•Economic deprivation in a large segment of
population results in poor access to health care.
•Poor educational status leads to non-utilization of
scanty health services and increase in avoidable risk
factors.
•Both are closely related to life expectancy
and IMR.
•Advances in medicine are responsible for no more
than half of the observed improvement in health
indices.
20. Health Care in Developing Countries
• Existing infrastructure for health care needs to be
strengthened. Health should be perceived as an
investment and receive greater budgetary allocation
• Education, safe water and sanitation need priority
• Vaccination coverage to be improved
• Better implementation of national health programs
• Judicious use of the scant resources by promoting most
cost-effective strategies for disease prevention
• Inclusion of all level of stakeholders in planning and policy
making using tremendous human resource available in the
country
