Abstract: (509 Views) |
The present study aimed to investigate and compare the pro-poor growth in six selected Islamic countries with natural resources abundance during the period of 2009-2019. We calculated three concept pro-poor growth indicator (PPGI), poverty equivalent growth rate (PEGR), and pro-poor growth rate (RPPG) using three measures of poverty headcount ratio, poverty gap ratio, and poverty gap squared, through the DASP package by Stata software. The results showed that most countries did not experience highly pro-poor growth during the period under review. So that most of the countries have had trickle-down and immiserizing growth during the period, which leads to an increase in poverty and inequality. Also, only Pakistan (2015-2019) and Malaysia (2011-2016) based on all three measures of poverty, and Iran (2009-2015) and (2015-2019) based on the poverty gap squared, have had highly pro-poor growth. The results of the three indicators confirm each other, and poverty and inequality have changed in the same direction. Also, the results of the RPPG index showed that all countries except Pakistan (2015-2019) and Malaysia (2011-2016) experienced increases in poverty and inequality. The main result of the research shows that the degree of pro-poor growth in the studied countries was different. On the other hand, the growth trend has not been stabled in the two studied periods for the research sample countries.
