According to the World Bank, excluding South Africa, the average income per person of African countries was only US$315 in 1997. Expressed in purchasing power parity, this means that Africa’s average real income was one-third less than that of South Asia, making Africa the poorest region in the world (World Bank 2000:7). Africa’s level of poverty and underdevelopment can be expressed in other forms. | | Copyright Holder | ACBF | | Copyright URL | http://www.acbf-pact.org | | Filesize | 367616 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
