Descripción
The Rural Livelihoods Information System (RuLIS) is a set of harmonized household- and individual-level data and indicators on different aspects of livelihoods, including crops and livestock production, off-farm and non-farm income generating activities, households’ composition and demographics, agricultural inputs, technology use, access to social protection, time use, shocks and migration. RuLIS currently includes information from 39 countries, with increasing data coverage in time and space as more micro-data becomes available. RuLIS aims to provide critical information for understanding medium- and long- term trends in the structural transformation of agriculture and rural economies; and for the design of policies that promote and accompany social and economic transformation and enhancement. RuLIS provides data on a wide set of indicators, cross-tabulated by rural vs urban areas, gender and other variables; and standardized variables at the household and individual level.
This brief uses RuLIS data to analyze survey data from eight Member States of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) to highlight the results of some key indicators related to living standards and conditions.
