Challenges to Inclusive Growth
The objective of this report is to present a snapshot of the welfare landscape in Djibouti that will help stakeholders understand poverty’s determinants. Exploiting data from the 2017 household expenditure survey, as well as administrative and geospatial data, it provides a detailed analysis of poverty in the country, its strong link to labor market outcomes, and the differential access to opportunities between urban and rural areas. Djibouti has recently experienced a period of unprecedented economic development, allowing it to grow its economy by an average of 7 percent per year between 2013 and 2016. This report shows that over a fifth of the Djiboutian population continues to live in extreme poverty and that the country has high levels of inequality, ranking 71 out of 95 countries with information on Gini available circa 2015. The report also focuses on the nexus of (monetary) poverty and the labor market. With a dual labor market, divided between the public sector and informality, a large share of the population—especially those who are vulnerable—continue to face high risks, as they have neither the skills nor opportunities to lift themselves out of poverty. Djibouti needs to double its efforts in pursuing an inclusive growth strategy. This strategy will need to be sustained by a strong labor market that allows individuals to capitalize on recent investments in education and closes the gaps in human capital across all groups of the population.

The objective of this report is to
present a snapshot of the welfare landscape in Djibouti that
will help stakeholders understand poverty’s determinants.
Exploiting data from the 2017 household expenditure survey,
as well as administrative and geospatial data, it provides a
detailed analysis of poverty in the country, its strong link
to labor market outcomes, and the differential access to
opportunities between urban and rural areas. Djibouti has
recently experienced a period of unprecedented economic
development, allowing it to grow its economy by an average
of 7 percent per year between 2013 and 2016. This report
shows that over a fifth of the Djiboutian population
continues to live in extreme poverty and that the country
has high levels of inequality, ranking 71 out of 95
countries with information on Gini available circa 2015. The
report also focuses on the nexus of (monetary) poverty and
the labor market. With a dual labor market, divided between
the public sector and informality, a large share of the
population—especially those who are vulnerable—continue to
face high risks, as they have neither the skills nor
opportunities to lift themselves out of poverty. Djibouti
needs to double its efforts in pursuing an inclusive growth
strategy. This strategy will need to be sustained by a
strong labor market that allows individuals to capitalize on
recent investments in education and closes the gaps in human
capital across all groups of the population. |
