Quality of employment : adequate returns from employment 3. The integration factor: expansion of employment potential of the poor.

  7. Growth factor Y = Total Income or Output in the Country N = Population Growth Potential = Elasticity factor Quantity of employment potential = Integration factor Employment potential of the poor = e = employment in the population = employment among the poor = number of poor

  8. Productivity of employment among the poor= = income of the poor. Growth potential of income of the poor= + + = + + If the last three terms are positive for all values of p, then we can say that the growth is pro-poor, which will achieve a maximum reduction in poverty with a given growth rate.
