Abstract
At every second of the day, somewhere in the developing countries of Asia, a child is bom. For every four children, three will be born into a rural household. Two of these will most likely join the ranks of the rural poor, in a relative or absolute sense. By the mid-seventies, the World Bank estimated that there were 355 million in the rural population of Asia subsisting in “absolute poverty” — i.e., whose annual income would not reach $50 per head (as of 1969).
These rural poor are commonly found in villages where life expectancy may be no more than 40 years, where illiteracy can blight from 30 to 70 percent of the population, and where the principal occupation is to earn enough food for one’s household from day to day, or from harvest to harvest.
