Abstract | This study investigates the incidence of education and health services on different income groups in Pakistan using HIES data set 2001-02. This study uses Kienzle (1981) index to measure the incidence of such services for overall Pakistan, its rural-urban segments and four provinces of Pakistan. The findings of the study indicate that both services are pro-poor. It implies that the lower income classes enjoy the benefits which can hopefully improve the relative income positions of the beneficiaries. This study further confirms the previous results by estimating Gini index of gross income and after adding both the services. The results are bootstrapped in order to build confidence interval for the estimated indices as the point estimates are not reliable for policy prescriptions. |
