Abstract

Il est gŽnŽralement considŽrŽ que la pauvretŽ en Afrique est essentiellement un phŽnomne rural. Cette analyse est confortŽe par le fait que l'on relve dans le milieu rural des incidences de la pauvretŽ particulirement ŽlevŽes. En fait, cette reprŽsentation de la rŽalitŽ est en grande partie biaisŽe par la combinaison de deux choix mŽthodologiques : d'une part le recours ˆ un seuil de pauvretŽ unique pour l'ensemble du pays, d'autre part une focalisation sur l'incidence de la pauvretŽ au dŽtriment d'autres indicateurs tels le nombre absolu de pauvres ou bien leur dŽficit de dŽpenses par rapport au seuil de pauvretŽ, des informations cruciales pour la dŽtermination de politiques de lutte contre la pauvretŽ. Le recours ˆ des mŽthodologies et des reprŽsentations mieux adaptŽes aux rŽalitŽs locales dessine une autre image en montrant une pauvretŽ urbaine plus importante qu'il ne l'est gŽnŽralement admis.
