Drivers of inequality in Malawi

Understanding the factors that drive income inequality in Malawi is essential in effectively addressing it and in responding to the challenges it creates as regards poverty and inclusive growth. Following Mussa and Masanjala (2015), this report highlights that inequality in Malawi is driven by disparities in access to education and health. Additionally, the report further adds pervasive informality, poor infrastructure and low agricultural productivity as among the key drivers of inequality in Malawi.
