Growth and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa

Growth and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa

While the economic growth renaissance in sub-Saharan Africa is widely recognised, much less is known about progress in living conditions. This book evaluates trends in living conditions in 16 major sub-Saharan African countries, corresponding to nearly 75% of the total population.
