| description |
In 2000 Ethiopia had one of the highest
poverty rates in the world, with 56 percent of the
population living on less than United States (U.S.) $1.25
purchasing power parity (PPP) a day. Ethiopian households
experienced a decade of remarkable progress in wellbeing
since then and by the start of this decade less than 30
percent of the population was counted as poor. This poverty
assessment documents the nature of Ethiopia s success and
examines its drivers. Agricultural growth drove reductions
in poverty, bolstered by pro-poor spending on basic
services, and effective rural safety nets. However, although
there is some evidence of manufacturing growth starting to
reduce poverty in urban centers at the end of the decade,
structural change has been remarkably absent from Ethiopia s
story of progress. The poverty assessment looks forward
asking what will be needed to end extreme poverty in
Ethiopia. In addition to the current successful recipe of
agricultural growth and pro-poor spending, the role of the
non-farm rural sector, migration, urban poverty reduction,
and agricultural productivity gains for women are considered. |
