Abstract (if Available):
The main message from this study is succinct but powerful: The poor in Indonesia have been very closely connected to economic growth in the country, benefiting differentially when the economy was growing rapidly, and suffering disproportionately when the economy is not growing, or suffers a major crisis, as in 1998. Of all the country experiences in this project, Indonesia’s record from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s was one of the most “pro-poor,” and from the late 1990s to the present, one of the most traumatic.
