| description |
The report, the first in an ongoing
program, presents the results of a statistical analysis of
household-level data for the periods 1995/1996, and
1999/2000, as a contribution to the preparation of a
comprehensive poverty reduction strategy in Egypt. Despite
considerable progress towards improving some of the
non-income dimensions of poverty, more needs to be done to
ease poverty. The main findings suggest a changing picture
of poverty in the country, where poverty patterns changed
from the urban-rural divide that had characterized the past,
to a geographical/regional pattern, highlighting the lack of
education as the strongest correlate of poverty. Statistics
show that while inequality rose slightly for Egypt as a
whole, the level was still comparable to other middle income
countries; unemployment was high in urban areas; and, gender
differences in poverty were small at an overall level, but
were significant across regions, particularly in rural
areas. Given the changing, complex picture of poverty in
Egypt, a poverty reduction strategy will have to be
comprehensive, yet flexible, hence, the report suggests a
more sustainable growth in jobs, productivity, and incomes
for the poorest; improved educational opportunities both for
men, and women; reversal of growing, regional disparities in
incomes, opportunities, and services; and, provision of
safety nets that protect the most vulnerable. |
