Income Distributional Effects of Economic Adjustment in Tanzania

“This study examines income distributional impacts of the economic adjustment policy measures that Tanzania has adopted since the early 1980s. The adjustment policies were in response to adverse shocks in the world
economy and to undesirable domestic economic policies which tended to worsen economic performance and balance of payment deficits. The focus is on structural adjustment policies. Since the adjustment policies have usually been in terms of packages, it is more appropriate to discuss structural adjustment programmes.”
