Abstract
⺠Systematic and comprehensive analysis of living standards in India and China. ⺠High growth rates did not translate into sharp decline in deprivation in either country. ⺠While rural deprivation is much higher in India than in China, they face similar levels of urban deprivation. ⺠China outperforms India on child health with lower incidence of stunting and wasting. ⺠Strong link between deprivation in access to basic facilities and child undernourishment. ⺠Children of undernourished mothers are at high risk of stunting and wasting in India, less so in China.
