Comparative Analysis of Poverty and Inequality in Togo: A Multidimensional Approach Based on a Wealth IndexBoevi Kouglo Lawson BodyUniversité de Lomé Kokou BaningantiUniversité de Lomé Etsri Homevohaffiliation not provided to SSRN Etse Adjo Lamadokouaffiliation not provided to SSRN April 15, 2007 Poverty and Economic Policy Research Network Working Paper No. PMMA-2007-10 Abstract: Based on a composite poverty indicator, the analysis of the level and evolution of multidimensional poverty in Togo between 1988 and 1998 reveals a downward trend using both relative and absolute poverty lines. Over the two periods studied, non-monetary poverty strongly increased in the rural households and appears to be present on a large scale in the Savanna region. Considering the composite poverty indicator’s distribution, it appears that poverty is unequally distributed throughout the country with a stronger intensity in the rural areas and the Savanna region.
