Quotes edit
- A sound anti-poverty strategy should not only aim to increase incomes, but also provide the poor with a variety of assets — personal, social, political and environmental to help them overcome human poverty.
- co-written with R. Sudarshan (1999). Income-poverty and Beyond: Human Development in India. Anthem Press. p. 193. ISBN 978-1-84331-001-3.
- The concept of human poverty also entails the recognition of gender inequality as an essential part of poverty. Measures of income-poverty are usually made at the household level and do not capture intra-household disparities. A gendered approach to human poverty would involve examining how resources such as food, education, health services, and productive assets are distributed within the household.
