Mauritania: Rural Assessment and Manpower Surveys. Rural Income in Mauritania

摘要

Results of a 1979-80 pilot survey to assess household cash income in Mauritania's rural sector are presented in this report. Cash income in the sedentary and nomadic rural sectors is examined according to its various sources (e.g., traditional occupations, wages, and cash transfers), patterns of income distribution, and (for the sedentary sector only) ethnic group. Finally, the cash income structure for the rural sector as a whole is examined and budgeting patterns in the sedentary and nomadic subsectors are delineated.
