Trends in urban poverty, 1988-2002 - University at Albany

In passing, it is interesting to note that China’s real GDP per capita (nationally, not urban-only) is estimated to have grown by 7.4% between 1988 and 2002. The HIP data thus imply substantially less income growth than official data, although a sustained growth rate of 5% per capita is still very high by international standards. ................
