January 2010
Gustavo Anríquez and Silvio Daidone
This article explores the effects within households of an expanding rural nonfarm (RNF) sector in Ghana.

| Household income structure and determinants in rural Egypt
January 2006
André Croppenstedt
Egypt is on track to achieve its long-term goal of reducing the poverty rate to 6 percent by 2022. Continued progress towards this goal will require rapid employment growth for which agriculture growth, through its impact on demand for goods and services in the rural non-tradable sector will be of fundamental importance. This paper considers which agricultural policies will be most effective at reducing rural poverty in Egypt. | | | |
