| description |
Angola is the third-largest economy in
the Sub-Saharan Africa and is classified as a low-middle
income economy. The incidence of poverty in Angola as of
2019 based on a monetary measure of welfare (monthly food
and non-food consumption expenditures per adult equivalent)
is 32.3 percent at the national level. The incidence of
poverty rates is almost three times higher in rural areas
(54.7 percent) than in urban areas (17.8 percent). The
strong dichotomy in welfare between urban and rural areas in
Angola is reflected in a large inequality at the national
level. The Gini coefficient in Angola is 0.51 which is one
of the highest in Africa. The duality of the Angolan economy
is also reflected in two very different types of poverty. On
the one hand, there is a traditional rural sector dominated
by low-productivity subsistence agriculture. On the other
hand, there is a modern export-oriented oil-economy, which
is mostly concentrated in Luanda and some other urban
centers. Accessibility also appears to play a key role in
food security. In areas connected by road, the number of
months in which a household experiences food shortage is
strongly correlated with the number of months in which the
road is usable. |
