Resumen
Descripción
Ethiopia has seen many changes since
2016, which until now, has been the reference year for data
about the level and pattern of poverty in the country. The
narrative around poverty was that years of high growth
resulted in a significant reduction in poverty, but by less
than expected because growth was uneven between rural and
urban areas which received most of the gains from growth and
there was a slow shift of labor from agriculture into the
fast-growing segments of the economy. Since 2016, GDP per
capita growth has decelerated—to 4.6 percent during
2016-2022 compared to nearly 7.4 percent during
2010-2016—not least because of multiple crises, including a
global pandemic, droughts, locust infestation, conflict, and
market shocks. This Poverty and Equity Assessment (PEA)
updates the understanding of poverty and inequality in the
country, using new data collected from 2021. This data was
collected amidst security concerns, which posed challenges
during the data collection process. Despite these
challenges, data quality checks have verified that the
collected information is reliable and representative of the
country, excluding areas that were inaccessible, such as
Tigray. The PEA updates statistics on poverty rates,
inequality, the poverty profile, and identifies the drivers
of these trends (Part 1). It provides an in-depth
understanding of the key drivers of poverty in the country
(Part 2) and charts the course for reducing poverty in the
years to come (Part 3). Below are some high-level messages
drawn from the analysis presented in the seven chapters of
the report. Additional details are accessible in background
papers accompanying the report.
