Abstract

Le problème que pose la présente étude est celui de la prise en compte du coût relatif des enfants par rapport à celui des adultes et des économies d’échelles dans l’appréciation du bien-être des ménages. Les résultats issus des échelles empiriques construites à cet effet montrent que les ménages dirigés par les femmes sont plus pauvres que ceux dirigés par les hommes. La pauvreté est plus ambiante dans les zones rurales, dans les ménages dont le chef est analphabète et dans les ménages dont le chef exerce dans le secteur informel. En ce qui concerne la dynamique, les résultats montrent que la pauvreté a augmenté au Cameroun entre 1996 et 2001. Bien que certains résultats confortent ceux issus des échelles « Recommended Dietary Allowances » (RDA) utilisées par l’Institut national de la Statistique, d’autres les remettent en question. Les résultats de l’étude recommandent la mise en œuvre de politiques spécifiques pour la réduction de la pauvreté.
