| description |
Conflict and political instability have
weakened Guinea-Bissau's productive infrastructure
considerably during the past three decades. This situation
contributes to an increase in the degree of vulnerability of
the population, especially in rural areas where most
economic activities continue to take place. As growth has
been weak, poverty levels remain high. This book provides a
collection of papers on conflict, livelihoods, and poverty
in Guinea-Bissau based on both the nationally representative
2002 household survey and a small scale survey with both
quantitative and qualitative components implemented in 2004.
The chapters deal with growth and poverty, institutions and
social networks, the determinants of poverty, the means of
livelihoods of the population, and finally cashew production
and taxation. |
