This paper describes “pro-poor growth” as the revised mantra of the development community with a focus on economic growth as the primary vehicle for sustainable reductions in poverty, distributional initiatives and processes playing a secondary role. The author places this new interest in regional perspective and then draws historical and policy lessons for Indonesia. The author further provides a panel data set of eight Asian countries for the empirical evaluation.
