MACIAS VAZQUEZ, Alfredo. Growth, inequality and poverty: State of affairs. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.31, pp.101-126. ISSN 0124-5996.

In recent decades there has been an increase in the literarure on the relationship between economic growth and its social impact.The successive failures in the fight against poverty have led to new strategies to combat it, an example of which is "pro-poor growth". This paper critiques these strategies from theoretical and methodological perspectives. It also lays out the need for a structural and institutional approach to improve results.

Keywords : economic growth; poverty; structural approach.
