South Pacific Studies Group- Rising Poverty Levels in Fiji

South Pacific Studies Group- Rising Poverty Levels in Fiji
Principal speaker

Neelesh Gounder

Although Fiji has experienced a steady rise in the Human Development Index (HDI) during the period 1975 to 2009, poverty has increased at the same time. The rate of poverty at independence in 1970 was 7 per cent. Since then it has increased almost five fold and currently stands at around 35 per cent. The presentation will provide an analysis of poverty in Fiji using recent survey data
