| Summary: | The report consists of four chapters.
Chapter one profiles the trends in growth, household
consumption, and poverty rates at the national level between
2004 and 2013. Descriptive statistics of consumption and
selected poverty indexes are presented and a profile of the
characteristics of the poor is given. The chapter concludes
with an analysis of nonmonetary indicators. Chapter two
unpackages the national level data into subnational results
(six zones) and shows the high and increasing divide of
socioeconomic indicators. Chapter three uses descriptive and
econometric technics to identify the drivers of this divide.
Chapter four concludes and provides a road map for policy
action to effectively address this divide. |
