Abstract

In the years following the beginning of economic reforms in 1978, China enjoyed remarkable growth of output and income per head, and this rapid growth was accompanied by an equally remarkable reduction in poverty, where poverty is measured as the proportion of the population living below some minimum acceptable standard of living. In practice the minimum acceptable standard of living is measured in money terms adjusted for changes over time in the cost of living. This coincidence of rapid growth and a sharp fall in the incidence of poverty was particularly dramatic during the first seven or eight years of the reform process.
