目前对有利于穷人的增长的概念和措施完全集中在福利的收入方面。这忽略了贫困的非收入层面以及贫困和福祉的多维度。在本文中，我们将有利于穷人的增长工具箱扩展到非收入成就的个人和综合衡量标准。特别是，我们将增长发生率曲线、Ravallion-Chen扶贫增长率和贫困当量增长率应用于一系列非收入指标，如教育、死亡率、疫苗接种、发育迟缓和多维福祉衡量。因此，我们能够在这些指标分布的不同点以及收入分配的不同点上研究福祉的这些方面的改善。通过这种方式，我们可以确定非收入指标的改善在绝对或相对意义上是否有利于穷人，以及它们是否比其他人更有利于收入穷人。我们以1989年至1998年的玻利维亚为例说明了这一点。(C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
Current concepts and measures of pro-poor growth are entirely focused on the income dimension of well-being. This neglects non-income dimensions of poverty as well as the multidimensionality of poverty and well-being. In this paper, we extend the pro-poor growth toolbox to individual and composite measures of non-income achievements. In particular, we apply growth incidence curves, the Ravallion-Chen pro-poor growth rate and the poverty-equivalent growth rate to a range of non-income indicators such as education, mortality, vaccinations, stunting, and a multidimensional well-being measure. We are thereby able to study improvements in these dimensions of well-being at various points of the distribution of those indicators as well as at various points of the income distribution. This way we can determine whether improvements in non-income indicators were pro-poor in an absolute or relative sense, and whether they benefited the income poor more than others. We illustrate this empirically for Bolivia during 1989-98. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
