  • Description

    This study was undertaken for the World Employment Programme launched by the International Labour Organisation in 1969. It is concerned with the causation of starvation in general and of famines in particular. The method of analysis adopted is the 'entitlement approach', which concentrates on ownership and exchange. After introducing the 'entitlement approach' to starvation analysis, the author examines problems of conceptualizing and measuring poverty, and discusses the specific problem of starvation in general terms. He then analyses the 'entitlement approach' in detail and applies it to four case studies of famines from different parts of the world. In the final chapter he looks at general issues of deprivation related to entitlement systems. About The Author Amartya Sen is Lamout University Professor, Harvard University and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998.
