Summary: | According to the 1998-99 Living
Standards Measurement Survey conducted in Moroocco, poverty
showed a disturbing increase during the 1990s, regardless of
how poverty is measured. This report updates the poverty
profile for Morocco following the comprehensive approach
suggested by the latest World Development Report (see report
no. 20888 for an overview of this report). It presents a
detailed analysis of 1) Poverty trends in the 1990s (Chapter
2), 2) which factors are key in explaining the observed
increase in poverty (Chapter 3), and 3) the support given to
the poor by Government intervention (Chapter 4). An overview
of the main initiatives taken by the authorities as well as
by nongovernmental organizations and private businesses in
the late 1990s is presented in the first chapter; their
effects, though not captured by the 1998/99 data, are likely
to have a significant impact on poverty reduction in the
coming years. |
