Hard-core Poverty
The incidence of HCP declined from 3.9% in 1990 to1.4% in 1997, but increased slightly to 1.6% in 1999,due to the impact of the financial crisis, and declinedfurther to 0.5% in 2002.
The rate of decline in poverty eradication was slowerduring the later years, as it gets harder to eradicate theremaining HCP incidence.
Implies that it is difficult for the growth process totrickle down to the hardcore poor, which explainsthe persistence of HCP and that is it getting moredifficult to eradicate low levels of poverty.
