| Summary: | This report summarizes a comprehensive
analysis of poverty and inequality in Tanzania and
identifies some priority actions if poverty is to be
reduced. The first part is based on the results of the
Household Budget Surveys (HBSs) for 2007, 2012, and 2018;
several rounds of National Panel Surveys (NPSs); and
Demographic Health Survey (DHS) data. It also combines
spatial information from the population census and other
sources with HBS data to (1) provide a rigorous analysis of
the evolution, profile, and determinants of poverty and
inequality; (2) exploremovements in and out of poverty and
their drivers; and (3) examine the distribution of poverty
and living conditions across the country at a detailed
geographic level. The second and final part examines the
pattern of structural transformation, firm profiles, job
creation, and financial inclusion using the rebased GDP
figures released in February 2019, plus data from the
Statistical Business Register (SBR), Census of Industrial
Production (CIP), national accounts, NPS, Integrated Labor
Force Surveys (ILFS), and other sources. This executive
summary provides an overview ofall the findings. |
