Growth and poverty in Sub - Saharan AfricaTitleGrowth and poverty in Sub - Saharan Africa Author Corporate author Place of publicationOxford (UK) PublisherOxford University Press Year of publication2016 Pagination499 Materialebook External document Abstract While the economic growth renaissance in sub-Saharan Africa is widely recognized, much less is known about progress in living conditions. This book comprehensively evaluates trends in living conditions in 16 major sub-Saharan African countries, corresponding to nearly 75% of the total population. A striking diversity of experience emerges. While monetary indicators improved in many countries, others are yet to succeed in channeling the benefits of economic growth into the pockets of the poor. Some countries experienced little economic growth, and saw little material progress for the poor. At the same time, the large majority of countries have made impressive progress in key non-monetary indicators of wellbeing.
