Inequality of Opportunity in Income and Consumption in Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia
This project studies the extent of income equality of opportunity using recent Labor Market Surveys from Egypt (2012), Jordan (2010) and Tunisia (2014) collected by the ERF. In the case of Egypt, where these surveys form a panel going back to 1998, the study will be able to outline the trend in inequality of opportunity during this crucial period of Egypt’s development.
