| Summary: | The Poverty Assessment for Comoros aims
to respond to this need and presents the first analysis
using the new household survey data from 2014. The present
report draws on the availability of the EESIC 2014 to
provide a robust diagnostic of poverty and inequality in
Comoros and to bring new evidence to better inform policies
aimed at poverty alleviation and equity. The analysis is
complemented with data from various sources, including the
previous household survey EIM 2004 and the Demographic and
Health Survey (DHS) for 2012. Through a pro-active
consultation and dissemination approach, the empirical
insights generated by this report are expected to turn into
key findings and recommendations for local public policy
debates. The first chapter of the report will provide an
overview on the country’s context, assessing the
macroeconomic performance and governance environment. The
remaining chapters are organized as follows: the second
chapter examines the incidence and structure of consumption
poverty and inequality using the most recent survey, EESIC
2014. The third chapter assesses the evolution of poverty
and living conditions since 2004, and investigates the
extent and changes of multidimensional poverty. The fourth
chapter analyzes the labor market situation and investigates
the specific case of informal employment. The fifth chapter
focuses on immigration and remittances, while the last
chapter assesses the fiscal incidence. |
