This event has been POSTPONED: Income Inequality Trends in Sub-Saharan Africa: Explaining Divergence, Determinants and Consequences
The remarkable economic growth of sub-Saharan Africa in the first 15 years of the 21st century did not always go hand in hand with greater equality. While income inequality during the 2000s decreased in 17 countries, it went up in 12 countries. What were the determinants and consequences of these divergent trends?
In this seminar, Professor Cornia provides insights into income inequality levels and trends in sub-Saharan Africa. He explains why these insights are essential to design better policy responses that would allow growth to be shared more equally in sub-Saharan Africa.
