Description
Summary:The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effect of economic growth on poverty reduction. The method used is Ravallion and Chen, which is based on the Growth Incidence Curve (CIC). In Cameroon, for the period 1996-2014, and in the light of the results of the Cameroonian Household Surveys (ECAM) carried out by the National Institute of Statistics (INS) in 1996, 2001, 2007 and 2014, it appears that economic growth was relatively pro-poor between 1996 and 2014. It benefited less from poor households than from rich ones. To this end, the Cameroonian state must make better choices of strategies targeting the poor.
