| description |
Sudan is at a critical juncture
regarding the direction of its economy and its development
path. The loss of a large share of oil revenues in the wake
of the secession of South Sudan has given rise to a period
of growing macroeconomic imbalances and moderately low rates
of economic growth. Despite periodic adjustment measures,
inadequate policies, including deficit monetization, have
exacerbated macroeconomic imbalances. This report on poverty
and shared prosperity in Sudan, covering 2009 to 2014 is
structured as follows: Chapter II provides background
information on sociodemographic characteristics of Sudan’s
population, Sudan’s political developments, as well as
recent macroeconomic trends; Chapter III provides a profile
of monetary poverty and inequality with a focus on trends
and drives over 2009–2014; Chapter IV provides a
non-monetary poverty profile that covers demographics,
education, access to productive assets, ownership of durable
consumption goods, housing conditions and rent, and access
to services; To rationalize the observed trends in poverty
and inequality, Chapter V explores trends in labor markets,
including labor productivity, labor market participation,
employment, wages, and returns to education; Chapter VI
provides an analysis of shocks, coping strategies, and
transfers, including international remittances; and the
final chapter summarizes and provides policy implications. |
