A global update with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa
2023Also available in:
No results found.This working paper is the update of an earlier cross-country study on household income sources using an expanded harmonized dataset. The analysis presented covers a total of 93 surveys representing 41 countries – nearly double that of the previous study – to depict rural and urban households’ livelihood strategies across different levels of economic development.

However, we find an emerging divergence between countries from sub-Saharan Africa and those from the rest of the world regarding employment and income generation. -
