Schmidt, Matthias Leibbrandt, Murray Woolard, Ingrid Economics Includes bibliographical references. This thesis examines poverty reduction and inequality changes in Namibia following the country's independence in 1990. Having emerged from decades of South African rule and Apartheid policies, Namibia presents an interesting case for this kind of applied research. The country is defined by widespread poverty and one of the highest degrees of income inequality in the world. While there is much speculation regarding the trends and underlying drivers of inequality and poverty after independence, little rigorous analysis has been done in this regard. This research aims to provide a better understanding of welfare changes following the liberalisation after independence. The research is based on the only two available Namibian household expenditure surveys from 1993/94 and 2003/04. To this point they have not been subjected to a detailed comparative analysis. 2015-01-06T12:01:47Z 2015-01-06T12:01:47Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11546 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
