| description |
According to the official statistics
published by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda,
the country registered a decline in poverty from 46 percent
in 2010/11 to 39 percent in 2013/14. This declining poverty
trend was broadly debated and repeatedly questioned in
national and international forums, which provided the
primary motivation for this study. Using data from the third
and fourth rounds of the Integrated Household Living
Conditions Surveys, this paper revisits the national poverty
numbers and corroborates the poverty rates published by the
National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. Underlying the
paper’s conclusions is a detailed theoretical and analytical
framework for making poverty comparisons over time.
Furthermore, the paper shows that after adjusting for
spatial and temporal price differences, the poverty rate
based on the international poverty line of $1.90 per day per
capita shows that there was a reduction in poverty between
2010/11 and 2013/14. |
