Structural Adjustment, Stabilization Policies And The Poor In Egypt, Karima Korayem

Structural adjustment and stabilization agreements between Egypt and the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were signed in 1991. The two agreements are referred to as the economic reform and structural adjustment program (ERSAP). To examine the impact of ERSAP on Egypt's poor , one has to define, first, who are the poor and what is their relative share in the population.

ERSAP affects the poor through three channels: prices, incomes, and the provision of …

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 …
