摘要：Both the absolute numbers of urban poor and the contribution of urban poverty to overall poverty levels are increasing. The magnitude of this problem, however, is not well documented, and data are generally lacking to convince policymakers of the urgency of turning their attention to escalating rates of urbanization and the potential consequences this may have for urban poverty and malnutrition. Most program and policy decisions about resource allocation continue to rely on simple comparisons of urban-rural averages, which mask the enormous differentials that exist among socioeconomic groups in urban areas.
