| description | The study analyses the linkage between an increase in a sector's growth of output and
poverty alleviation. A multiplier decomposition method shows the linkages through
which a productions sector's output contributes to poverty alleviation. The empirical data
of the thesis is based on a socioeconomic system represented by the 1999 Social
accounting Matrix (SAM) for Uganda. It is shown that a multiplier can be broken down
into two multiplicative effects. Firstly, the distributional effects where the impact of a
sector's output on poverty alleviation can be direct through incomes to the poor
households from their labor or land to the sector's grow of output. Secondly, the
interdependency effects which results from the indirect effects operating through the
interdependence of economic activities sometimes called the closed loop effect. The
decomposition method shows that growth in agriculture alleviates poverty among poor
households, followed then by the services sector and the industry sectors. The policy
implication is that the process of industrialization involves moving the bulk of the labor
force from the agricultural sector to the industry sector and this can be enhanced by
education and training. |

I den här uppsatsen analyseras kopplingen mellan en ökning av en sektors produktions utveckling och fattigdomsbekämpning. En multiplikator dekomponerings metod visar de återkopplings effekter som gör att en sektors produktion kan bidra till fattigdoms bekämpning. Uppsatsens empiriska data är baserat på ett socioekonomiskt system representerat av en social räkenskapes matris för Uganda 1999, en så kallad social accounting matrix eller SAM. Uppsatsen visar att en multiplikatorn kan bli nedbruten i två separata multiplikatoreffekter, dels en fördelningeffekt och dels en interdependenseffekt . Fördelnings effekten som är direkt visar hur produktionen i en viss sektor bidrar till fattigdoms bekämpning genom de inkomster fattiga hushåll får för sitt arbete eller sin mark. Interdependens effekten är indirekt och är resultatet av det ömsesidiga beroende som är inbyggt i de ekonomiska aktiviteterna. Dekomponerings metoden visar att tillväxten i jordbruks sektorn bäst lindrar fattigdomen bland de fattiga hushållen, följt av tjänste sektorn och industri sektorn. Det intressanta ur ett policy perspektiv är att industrialiseringen inbegriper flyttandet av huvuddelen av arbeteskraften från lantbruks sektorn till industri sektorn och att denna process kan främjas genom satsningar på utbildning. 2008-04-28 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/10907/1/okalang_k_170921.pdf Okalang, Kenneth, 2008.
