It is clear from chapter 1 of this Report that since 2000, many least developed countries (LDCs) have achieved higher rates of economic growth than in the 1990s and even higher growth of exports. There is a widespread perception, however, that this is not translating effectively into poverty reduction and improved human well-being for the 785 million people who now live in LDCs. This chapter assesses the extent to which this is true and identifies some of the policy-related factors which influence the degree to which economic growth is translating into improvements in human well-being.
