Mali's steady per capita GDP growth was accompanied with a significant decline in the poverty rate, from 55.6 percent in 2001 to 43.6 percent in 2009-10. Mali's rapid population growth still has led to an increase of the overall number of people living in poverty, and is constraining progress in terms of per capita health and education outcomes. High fertility rates and gender imbalances are key drivers of Mali's poverty dynamics. The present report compiles three different notes, emphasizing the interrelation between poverty, demographics and gender imbalances. The first note discusses the evolution of poverty in Mali since 2001. The second note reviews recent demographic trends and related policies. The third note reports on the latest available data on females in business and employment within the formal sector. The compilation of these three notes aims to stimulate debates and the exploration of policy options to tackle poverty through its interactions with fertility and gender imbalances. It also highlights conclusion of each note.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTUREACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATERACCESS TO SERVICESADMINISTRATIVE REGIONSAGGREGATE POVERTYAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL REGIONSAGRICULTURAL SECTORANNUAL % CHANGEASSET HOLDINGSAVERAGE GROWTHBASIC NEEDSCASH EXPENDITURECHANGES IN POVERTYCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION INFORMATIONCONSUMPTION LEVELCONSUMPTION PATTERNSCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION POVERTYCORRELATES OF POVERTYCOTTON PRODUCTIONDATA SETSDECLINE IN POVERTYDEPENDENT VARIABLEDETERMINANT OF POVERTYDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDRINKING WATERDROUGHTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC LITERATUREECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMICSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPIRICAL QUESTIONEMPLOYMENT STATUSENROLMENT RATESESTIMATES OF POVERTYEXCHANGE RATEEXPENDITURE LEVELEXPLANATORY VARIABLESEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME POVERTYFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE EMPOWERMENTFEMALE WORKERSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFOOD BASKETFOOD BASKETSFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITUREFOOD ITEMSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEFOOD POVERTY LINESFOOD PRICEFOOD PROCESSINGGENDER INEQUALITYGINI COEFFICIENTGROWTH PRO-POORGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEADCOUNT POVERTYHEADCOUNT POVERTY RATEHEALTH EXPENDITUREHIGH POVERTYHOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION EXPENDITUREHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURESHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD MEMBERSHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXIMPACT ON POVERTYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME DATAINCOME LEVELINEQUALITYINEQUALITY WILLINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFLATION RATELABOR MARKETMEASURING POVERTYMEDIUM TERMNATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY HEADCOUNTNATIONAL POVERTY RATENATURAL SHOCKSNON-FOOD COMPONENTNON-FOOD EXPENDITURENON-FOOD ITEMSOFFICIAL POVERTYPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA GROWTHPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY OPTIONSPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INDIVIDUALSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR REGIONPOORER HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION SHAREPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY COMPARISONSPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY HEADPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATESPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INCREASEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASUREPOVERTY MEASUREMENTPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY MONITORING SYSTEMPOVERTY OUTCOMESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPRICE CHANGESPRICE INFORMATIONPRIMARY PRODUCTSPRO-POORPRO-POOR GROWTHPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC SECTORPURCHASING POWERRAPID GROWTHREAL TERMSREDUCTION OF POVERTYREGIONAL DUMMYREGIONAL ENVIRONMENTREGIONAL POVERTYREGIONAL POVERTY LINESREGIONAL PRICERELATIVE PRICESRURALRURAL ACCESSRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL PHENOMENONRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY LINESSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOLINGSECTOR ACTIVITIESSHORT-TERM IMPACTSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL PROTECTIONSUBSISTENCETARGETINGTOTAL POVERTYUNDERSTANDING OF POVERTYURBAN AREASWAGE EARNERSWAGE EMPLOYMENTWELFARE LEVELWELFARE MEASUREWELFARE QUINTILESWorld Bank10.1596/16050
