While there has been a perceptible increase in per capita income and expenditure and possibly a decline in the incidence of poverty in India, massive poverty remains. Even with radical policies, the shifts in income and occupational structures to make a serious dent on poverty will take more than the rest of this century. This volume underlines the necessity of recognizing the magnitude of the problem and the inadequacy of measures adopted so far to deal with it. It contains a selection of articles from "Economic and Political Weekly" on different aspects of poverty, unemployment and income distribution.
