19. However, it is necessary to state at the outset that there is substantial evidence that urban and rural poverty are inextricably linked. Recent macroeconomic forces have, in many cases, urbanized the rural poor and deepened the trap of urban poverty (Amis and Rakodi (1994)). The implications of this for the traditional idea of the rural-urban health divide are profound.
