Growth, Jobs and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa : No Country Left Behind Paperback / softback
by Moazam Mahmood
Paperback / softback
Description
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) should not be defined by the structural parameters and opportunities of low-income countries, given that it also comprises a number of higher-income countries.
This book finds that SSA is tightly constrained in its growth, employment and poverty outcomes.
Rather than taking this as a conceptual downside, these constraints to growth and development have to be recognised and overcome—not just by a few countries able to escape them more easily, but by all countries in SSA, such that no country is left behind.
The book observes a weakness in the quantum of growth in SSA.
It relates this to a growth path based more on extractives than manufactured goods.
While SSA is endowed with extractives, global demand for these is very volatile.
These boom-bust cycles in export demand come to affect not just the export sector in SSA as a resource curse, but also the production of output of the entire economy.
The book captures this through the working out of equilibrium in four major markets: the tradeables market, the domestic goods market, the labour market, and the money market.
