Resumen
Descripción
In many sub-Saharan African countries
household surveys are well designed to measure consumption
and poverty as well as human development outcomes
(especially in education and health) and access to basic
infrastructure. But detailed information on the sources of
income and the livelihoods of households and individuals are
still often lacking. This is problematic because income data
is essential to identify the links between growth and
poverty reduction, to determine ways to improve household
well-being, and to understand the potential impacts of
economic shocks and policy reforms. In a context where
countries as well as international organizations such as the
World Bank are asked to document the potential poverty and
social impact of the reforms that they propose (through
Poverty and Social Impact Analysis), it is important to
encourage countries to start collecting data or to improve
data collection on income sources.
