Osmani’s framework
1. Growth factor: expansion of production potential
2. The elasticity factor: enhancing employment potential
a. Quantity of employment generated by growth b. Quality of employment : adequate returns from employment
3. The integration factor: expansion of employment potential of the poor.

If the last three terms are positive for all values of p, then we can say that the growth is pro-poor, which will achieve a maximum reduction in poverty with a given growth rate.
