[Quezon City] School of Economics, University of the Philippines 2010. pages 1-20 illustrations 23 cm text rdacontent unmediated rdamedia volume rdacarrier Title was 'Philippine Review of Business and Economics' until 1979. Title changed to 'Philippine Review of Economics and Business' from 1980-2000, and again changed to 'Philippine Review of Economics' since 2001. Includes bibliographical references (pages 18-20) The official poverty data fall short of properly informing public policy and governance concerning the progress, or lack thereof, in achieving the country's commitment of halving, between 1990 and 2015, the incidence of poverty and hunger. Imposing consistency in poverty estimation shows that the poverty trend is actually even more alarming than what the official data depict. ?Business as usual? keeps the country from achieving the MDG 1 targets. Meeting the huge policy challenge of poverty reduction requires nothing less than rapid but sustained and inclusive growth. Human capital Philippines. Sustainable development Philippines.
