Because the latest official household survey dates back to 2011/12, there is considerable uncertainty about recent poverty trends in the country. Applying a pass-through and survey-to-survey methodology, extreme poverty (at the $1.90 poverty line) for India in 2017 is estimated at 10.4 percent with a confidence interval of [8.1, 11.3]. The urban and rural poverty rates are estimated at 7.2 and 12.0 percent, respectively. Across a wide range of publicly available data sources, the paper finds no evidence of an increase in poverty between 2011/12 and 2017/18. 2022-02-10T15:39:13Z 2022-02-10T15:39:13Z 2022-02 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/584701644266345768/What-Do-We-Know-about-Poverty-in-India-in-2017-18 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/36971 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9931 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper South Asia India
