Abstract

The paper analyses the relationship among poverty, inequality and economic growth and treats the growth as a remedy measure of poverty reduction in Bangladesh. This discusses distributional pattern of growth, definition of pro-poor growth and growth incidence curve (GIC) as a measure of pro-poor growth. By using the survey data (HIES, 1995, 2000 and 2010) this study explains the nature of incidence of growth for Bangladesh, based on anonymity axiom. This paper reveals that over last two decades thegrowth incidence curve was regressive and weak absolute pro-poor in nature for Bangladesh. Policy recommendation suggests that there is scope for further study to explain the non-anonymous GIC for Bangladesh.
