Abstract
Over recent decades , most countries of Southeast Asia achieved reductions in absolute poverty incidence , but these reductions varied in magnitude between countries and over time. This paper shows that differences in the rate and sectoral composition of economic growth explain part , but not all, of these differences. It describes outcomes on poverty incidence in Southeast Asia and relates them to the growth of output in the agricultural , industrial and services sectors. This analysis uses data from the 1970s to the most recent available for Indonesia , Thailand , Malaysia , and the Philippines to analyse the economic determinants of changes in poverty incidence in Southeast Asia.
