Distributing Disposable Income And The Impact Of Eliminating Food Subsidies In Egypt, Karima Korayem Apr 1982

Distributing Disposable Income And The Impact Of Eliminating Food Subsidies In Egypt, Karima Korayem

Faculty Books

While both papers in this issue were written on different occasions, both discuss factors relating to the standard of living of the Egyptian pop­ulation, namely, income and consumption. They, therefore are sufficiently related to comprise a single monograph. The income distribution paper shows that a large proportion of the pop­ulation falls in the relatively low income brackets. The second paper, a subject of intensive public debate at present, shows how important food sub­sidy is in keeping down the cost of living of the low-income urban popula­tion. For example, it has been found that almost one-third of the urban population devote …
