Abstract

ABSTRACT: Considérant sa situation en terme de pauvreté, Haïti figure parmi les pays bénéficiant des programmes des Objectifs du millénaire pour le développement (OMD). Quelques études ont en effet montré ces dernières années, qu’Haïti était un pays pauvre et très inégalitaire. Cependant, ces travaux présentent la particularité commune de traiter la pauvreté indépendamment de l’inégalité. Or, certains auteurs ont montré que l’inégalité était susceptible d’aggraver la pauvreté, même en situation de croissance économique. Aussi, la décomposition de la variation de la pauvreté en composantes croissance et inégalité reste un aspect inexploré en Haïti. En effet, la situation de pauvreté en Haïti s’explique-t-elle par un déficit de croissance ou par une forte inégalité dans la distribution des revenus? L’objectif de cet article est précisément de décomposer la variation de la pauvreté haïtienne en composantes croissance et inégalité entre 1986/1987 et 1999/2000. Nous montrons qu’en Haïti la variation de la pauvreté est due, en général, aux effets favorables de la composante « croissance » et aux effets défavorables de la composante « inégalité ».
