Abstract

Cet article se propose d’examiner si les évolutions du niveau de vie et du niveau d’éducation ont été « pro-pauvres » entre 2000 et 2008 en Egypte. Dans cette perspective, un indice de niveau de vie des ménages est construit en utilisant une méthodologie développée par Bérenger et Celestini (2006). L’analyse de l’évolution du niveau de vie et du niveau d’éducation (des adultes et des enfants) est ensuite réalisée au moyen de l’élaboration de courbes d’incidence de la croissance étendues aux dimensions non monétaires sur la base de la méthodologie de Grosse, Harttgen et Klasen (2008). Les résultats indiquent une réduction de la pauvreté en termes de niveau de vie mais l’amélioration du niveau de vie ne favorise pas les ménages plus pauvres de manière absolue forte. Le niveau d’éducation des jeunes vivant au sein des ménages les plus pauvres en milieu rural est en progrès, à l’inverse du niveau d’éducation des jeunes au sein des ménages urbains qui est relativement stagnant.
