摘要:Towards an Assessment of Disarticulation and Its Consequences on Food Consumption in Third World Countries This paper discusses the relevance that disarticulation has for third world development. Disarticulated growth is defined by the lack of relationships between the growth in production and consumption functions of the economy and weak forward and backward linkages between economic sectors. In relation to the agricultural sector, it is argued that earnings from agricultural exports have not been translated into better salaries for workers or into higher investment and growth of the staple food sector. Assessing disarticulation has extraordinary importance for the formulation of an alternative policy instrument aimed at achieving growth with equity.
