Economic growth must benefit the poor Economic growth has been a hot topic for the last two to three decades.
Our leaders and intellectuals representing them have tried to convince us
that our development is on an upward trend. Statistics showing an
increasing GDP growth rate, low budget deficit, stability of the currency
etc. during the past two years and mainly the changes in share market

unemployment rate and less about the suffering individual or group of
people unemployed or sacked from jobs. We talked more about the inflation
rates and less about those in starvation. Other Stories |
