The document includes tables showing the evolution of economic indicators from 2002 to 2011, macroeconomic indicators of the DRC from 1960-2010, inflation and budget deficits from 1990 to 2000, the contribution of mineral products to exports, financial indicators, poverty indicators, mineral prices, social indicators, and investment benefit transfers. Figures include a summary of hypotheses and the growth-inequality-poverty triangle.
The study addresses the paradox of economic growth in the DRC alongside persistent poverty. Despite the country's vast natural resources and recent economic growth, the living standards of the population remain low, with alarming humanitarian situations. The study investigates the factors contributing to this "growth appauvrissante" (impoverishing growth).
The main objectives are to identify the reasons for the cycle of impoverishing growth, determine who benefits from this growth, and propose measures to break this cycle to ensure more inclusive growth.
The hypotheses include that impoverishing growth is a result of a combination of cyclical and structural factors, that the lack of equity in income distribution and underinvestment in human capital prevent the poor from benefiting, and that improving the economic and social situation requires radical changes in the economic structure and governance.
The study uses analytical, deductive, and systemic methods. It also employs documentary research techniques and econometric/statistical approaches to calculate pro-poor growth indices.
The study focuses on analyzing the quality, opportunities, and challenges of economic growth in the DRC between 2004 and 2014.
The literature review highlights contrasting views on the impact of economic growth on poverty. Some argue that growth always reduces poverty, while others emphasize the importance of income redistribution, job creation, and social policies.
The study is structured into three main chapters: an examination of the political economy of the DRC, an analysis of the causes of impoverishing growth (cyclical and structural), and an assessment of pro-poor growth and inclusive growth in the DRC.
