This paper studies the decomposition of poverty changes in Cameroon. Specifically, it reviews theoretical frameworks for growth-redistribution decomposition analyses, presents the data and poverty measures and estimates the growth-redistribution components of changes in measured poverty by the...

French abstract: Cette étude analyse les évolutions de la polarisation et de l’inégalité dans la distribution des dépenses au Cameroun pendant et après les programmes d’ajustement structurel. Nombres de mesures sont utilisés et les estimations sont obtenues à partir des données...

This paper investigates the determinants of employment vulnerability among private sector workers and assesses it effects on private sector household income in Cameroon. To address these objectives, use is made of multiple correspondence and the IV econometric analyses. Econometric results...

This paper studies the contributions of sector-specific and between-sector employment effects in accounting for aggregate poverty changes in Cameroon. We observed that the decrease in poverty among tertiary and secondary sector workers was considerably accounted for by the within-sector effects,...

This paper evaluates the determinants of borrowing, effects of borrowing on economic well-being, and potential disparity in responses by sources of well-being, location and gender, while controlling for other correlates. The 2001 Cameroon household consumption survey and a range of survey-based...

This study applies the regression-based inequality decomposition technique to explain poverty and inequality trends in Cameroon. We also identify gender related factors which explain income disparities and discrimination based on the 2001 and 2007 Cameroon household consumption surveys. The...

This study attempts to carry out a comprehensive analysis of poverty, inequality and polarization trends using Cameroon household surveys collected before and during the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) process. The theoretical decomposition frameworks propelling the study are motivated...
