This report compares poverty levels and
trends in sub - Saharan Africa with the rest of the world.
It then uses national aggregate indicators to look at
poverty trends and levels across African countries. This
section makes use of demographic, economic and social
indicators from the Bank's socioeconomic database and
other international sources. The report then highlights the
many faces of poverty in Africa by drawing from household
survey data to look at the diversity of poverty at the
sub-national level - specifically, how poverty is
distributed within countries, and what are the common
socioeconomic characteristics of the poor, including where
they live, the composition of households, access to social
services and employment opportunities, and consumption
habits. Gender is a fundamental feature of any discussion on
poverty and welfare and is therefore interwoven throughout
the report. |
