Living standards in Angola, 1760–1975
利用新编制的数据集，研究了1760至1975年间安哥拉罗安达和本格拉两地城市工人的福利比率，发现其经济繁荣程度低于世界其他地区，19世纪生活水平下降，20世纪中期后有所恢复。
We investigate the well-being of urban workers in Angola under colonialism. Using a newly compiled dataset derived from archival and secondary sources, we construct welfare ratios for both skilled and unskilled workers in the cities of Luanda and Benguela from 1760 to 1975. Our findings indicate that Angolan workers experienced lower economic prosperity compared to their counterparts in other parts of the world. Living standards declined during the 19th century, followed by a recovery emerging in the 20th century –particularly from the mid-1960s.
