To understand the dynamics of poverty and inequality between 1996 and 2001, this book develops a poverty and inequality profile, investigates the sources of inequality along spatial lines and simulates some policies which could be used in the reduction of poverty and inequality. The book also addresses two major sectors of the Cameroonian economy with a special focus on gender bias in agriculture and linkages between the formal and informal sector. The empirical analyses show that there are large spatial differences in poverty in Cameroon and that sources of inequality vary by location. Regardless of the definition used, the informal sector in Cameroon is extremely large but closely linked to the formal sector. The gender bias experienced by women in access to productive assets in agriculture reduces the efficiency of agricultural production.Göttinger Studien zur Entwicklungsökonomik ;Band 28.PovertyCameroonEqualityCameroonAspectsCamerooninequalityInequalityInformal and formal sector linkagesKumaseLinear expenditure systemsPovertyPovertyEqualityKumase Wokia-azi Ndangle966907UkMaJRU9910297054003321Aspects of poverty and inequality in Cameroon2194782UNINA
