Abstract

I would like to thank the organisers and the PIDE for giving
me the honour to present this year's Allama Iqbal Lecture on the subject
of Child Poverty and Economic Growth and the opportunity to talk to such
well-informed and distinguished audience. I believe that child poverty
and economic growth is a subject that is rarely discussed but I think it
is a crucial subject for the 21st century. I have only got a brief time
to talk to you, so I will only be able to skim over the surface of many
issues. If you want to go into a greater depth, there is a website for
the Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research, where you can
find more details about the issues to which I am going to
talk.
