Abstract

L'objet de cet article est d'évaluer la position de certains pays de la région Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord (MOAN) par rapport aux différentes théories sur la relation entre croissance, inégalité et équité, afin de déterminer les principales sources de réduction de la pauvreté. A cet effet, trois relations sont successivement testées : l'hypothèse de Kuznets, la théorie de la « propoor growth », ainsi que les déterminants de l'inégalité à travers une étude en données de panel sur la période 1980-2003. Les pays du MOAN étant encore éloignés du point de retournement défini par Kuznets, il convient donc de favoriser les politiques qui réduisent l'inéquité sociale et mettent les pauvres au coeur du processus de croissance. L'analyse suggère que les principaux enjeux de ce débat se situent dans l'efficacité de l'éducation, la réduction des inégalités de genre et le recours au crédit bancaire dans un contexte d'amélioration de l'efficience des marchés.
