“…The results of higher order dominance checks are not reported when a significant dominance relationship at a given order is observed durable goods was mainly due to a better access by the population living in rural areas. This result seems to corroborate certain findings from previous reports and studies (Bérenger 2010). Indeed, Egypt has had to contend with a problem of informal settlements and slums mainly in urban areas.…”

“…This variation is reinforced by a catching up process with urban areas. To a lesser extent these findings support those from the study by Bérenger (2010). The absence of concluding results for the sub-period 1995-2000 can be linked to the very minor changes in poverty measures regardless of the area of residence.…”

“…To our knowledge, attempts to apply a multidimensional approach to poverty are rather scarce. The sole exceptions concern the work of Deutsch et al (2005) on Israel, Ayadi et al (2006) on Tunisia, Bibi (2004) on Egypt and Tunisia, Osman et al (2006) on Egypt and a recent attempt made in a FEMISE research project using data from six Mediterranean countries (Bérenger et al 2008), Bérenger, Deutsch, and Silber (2009) for Egypt, Morocco, and Turkey and Bérenger (2010) for Egypt.…”

Poverty and Social Exclusion Around the Mediterranean Sea

The main goal of this chapter is to undertake a multidimensional poverty analysis in relation to five southern Mediterranean countries, namely Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey. We rely on a broader concept of poverty by considering the deprivations in women's educational attainments, the possession of durable goods and the consequences of housing conditions, each of which we operationalize by making use of recent developments in multidimensional poverty measurement. This analysis is based on an axiomatic approach to poverty and on the use of stochastic dominance tools to achieve robust results that do not hinge on the choice of poverty line and weighting scheme. Our findings provide comparisons over time for each country and between countries that cannot be obtained when each dimension of poverty is analysed separately, as the approaches take into account the correlations which may exist between different kinds of poverty. Furthermore, in contrast to rankings drawn from cardinal poverty measures (for example, from the Multidimensional Poverty Index), multidimensional tests make it possible to nuance the performance levels reached by certain countries.

“…4 ''Near poverty,'' 5 on the other hand, affects an additional 21 % of Egyptian households, bringing the total poor to over 40 % of the population, which constituted more than 28 million people in 2005. The few studies that have considered non-monetary poverty in Egypt have also found that it is quite high (Osman et al 2006) and on the rise (Bérenger 2010).…”

Dynamics of Multidimensional Poverty and Trade Liberalization: Evidence from Panel Data for Egypt

This chapter investigates the dynamics of poverty in Egypt using monetary and non-monetary panel data, and the impact of trade liberalization on poor and low waged workers. We find a relatively low level of economic mobility in both income and non-income indicators, with the majority of those who were ''poor'' in 1998, whether in the monetary or non-monetary dimension, remaining so by 2006. Trade reform in the form of lower tariffs and increased export promotion exerted a small positive influence on the incomes of the poor; however, this came at the expense of greater informalization of workers and higher incidence of low quality jobs. We also find that private sector employment and gender have a much more important role in segregating the labor market.

Is Growth Pro‐Poor in Benin? Evidence Using a Multidimensional Measure of Poverty

In recent years, economic development discourse has moved beyond increasing economic growth to ensuring that growth also leads to reduction in poverty and inequality. This motivates the current study to examine the relationship between economic growth and poverty in Benin. We used data from the 2006 and 2011 Benin Demographic and Health Surveys and computed a multidimensional poverty index using multiple correspondence analysis. The distribution of growth pro‐poorness was analyzed using the Growth Incidence Curves and Non‐Income Growth Incidence Curve. Average multidimensional poverty rate was estimated to be about 55.3 percent. The findings show that while growth has generally been pro‐poor in Benin, there exist disparities across rural and urban households, and for women as well as the elderly. The findings reinforce the need for broader poverty measures and refocusing poverty reduction strategies to marginalized groups in Benin.
