Green Revolution and Redistribution of Rural Incomes. Pakistan's Experience
The paper investigates the legitimacy of the popular view that the Green Revolution has led to a magnification of income inequality in rural Pakistan. The empirical evidence produced in t his paper is sufficiently conclusive to show that the Green Revolution has actually been responsible for reduction of income disparity between small and large farms, between farm and non-farm rural classes and between well-to-do and poorer agricultural regions in Pakistan. The .paper suggests that Green Revolution technologies should be encouraged in the interest of economic development.
