There has been an emergent discourse whether economic growth may improve equality of incomes. To test the relationship between economic growth and income inequality, the Kuznets Curve hypothesis could be used The hypothesis suggests an inverted-U relationship between income per capita and inequality measures. Thus, the main objective of this study is to verify empirically the existence of this pattern in Asia In the cross- section analysis, GDP per capita and Gini coefficients are used to test the validity of Kuznets Curve in Asia for the period 2002 to 2005. It has been shown empirically that countries with relatively high economic development have low income inequalities, and vice versa. The empirical results validate the existence of the Kuznets Curve in Asia Furthermore, it has been found that institutional, demographic, political, and macroeconomic policy variables may influence inequality though their effects may not be significant in the case of the Asian countries. Specifically, gender parity index, population growth rate, political stability, and exports as percentage of GDP are negatively correlated with the level of inequality while employment ratio is positively correlated with income inequality.Item Restricted Battling poverty: a look at education and health at the provincial level(2010-04) Salvador, Kash Aristotle B.; Moreno, Jomarlo F.; Tecson, GwendolynThis paper explores the poverty depth among provinces in the Philippines in the years 2003 and 2006. By looking at the relationship of factors considered namely the quality of education and health and the expenditure on education and health, the paper presents that the quality of education and health has a negative relationship on poverty depth. However, the government expenditure on education and health showed an insignificant negative relationship to poverty depth and addressed the need to assess the efficiency of government expenditure.Item Restricted Educational mobility: a study among low-income families in the Philippines in the years 1991 and 1994(2001-10) Escalona, Cora Rose Ann R.; Geronimo, Kristine Ann B.Item Restricted Causes of the drop-out problem: a case study in NCR(1988-01) Bolivar, Eden C.Item Restricted Wage inequality between genders in the manufacturing sector of nine developing countries(1996-03) Raymundo, Ricardo T.; Togle, Christina C.; Fabella, Raul V.
