Rural income and poverty in a time of radical change in Malawi
基于马拉维十年间的纵向数据,研究政策与政治剧变如何影响农村收入和贫困,为减贫政策方向提供讨论依据。
Abstract Malawi is one of the poorest countries in Africa. There is widespread, though not universal, agreement about the shape of poverty in the country and the policy challenge this sets. Agriculture continues to be the most obvious means to stimulate broad-based rural growth and to provide levels of food security and income needed for the majority rural population. A longitudinal study over a decade during which radical policy and political changes occurred provides the data and basis for discussing the appropriate policy directions for reducing poverty.
