Impacts of Prime Age Adult Mortality on Rural Household Income, Assets, and Poverty in Mozambique: Analysis with the Tia Panel Data Set

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: HIV/AIDS is not the only lifethreatening disease in Mozambique, but its rise has resulted in increasing mortality rates in the most productive years of people in rural areas. With an estimated HIV prevalence rate of 16.4% in Mozambique, policy makers are challenged to develop poverty reduction and economic growth strategies given the loss of many working adults. To understand the dynamics in households with adult deaths, it is critical to look at the household both before a death takes place and after, as they struggle to retain people, assets and income in spite of the loss.
