Abstract

The chapter explores differences and similarities between the five larger countries of South Asia with statistical data on growth and development. South Asia has done well on GDP growth in the last 20 years, and has performed, not worse than, perhaps better than the world average on poverty, inequality, and human development. All five countries are in the process of moving away from dependence on agricultural livelihoods. Are they industrializing as it was thought they would in the 1950s? The answer remains uncertain and variable between these examples.
