(english) Given that the chief objective of development policies is to reduce poverty and that work is practically the only source of income for the poor, it is paradoxical that no system has yet been introduced in Africa to monitor the labour market. The labour force survey, the first phase of the 1-2-3 survey, carried out simultaneously in 2001-2002 in the economic capitals of seven WAEMU countries (Abidjan, Bamako, Cotonou, Dakar, Lomé, Niamey, Ouagadougou), aimed to fill this gap. For the first time, it provides a detailed picture of the main characteristics of employment and unemployment in the seven cities, based on surveys using exactly the same methodology and thereby enabling precise comparisons of the different capitals. This study, which presents the principal results of the survey, helps highlight the major structural characteristics of the urban labour markets in the region, and the specific national features. By identifying their main shortcomings (early labour force participation for children, distortion between young people's expectations and real recruitment prospects, discrimination against women, inefficiency of placement services for the unemployed, generalisation of under-employment, the place of the informal sector, etc.), the study opens up new possibilities for defining policies designed to improve the way labour markets work. _________________________________ (français) A l’heure où le principal objectif des politiques de développement est la réduction de la pauvreté et alors que le travail est la source quasi-exclusive de revenu des pauvres, il était paradoxal qu’aucun dispositif de suivi du marché du travail n’est encore été mis en place en Afrique. L’enquête emploi, première phase de l’enquête 1-2-3, menée simultanément en 2001-2002 dans les capitales économiques de sept pays de l’UEMOA (Abidjan, Bamako, Cotonou, Dakar, Lomé, Niamey, Ouagadougou), vise à combler cette lacune.

Including abstract, bibl. L'article étudie les indicateurs de moyens et de résultats associés aux programme de mise en oeuvre des Cadres Stratégiques de Lutte contre la Pauvreté (CSLP) en s'appuyant sur les documents de cinq pays africains (Burkina, Cameroun, Mauritanie, Niger, Ouganda). Il montre que les pays concernés par l'initiative ont quelque peu négligé le volet suivi-évaluation lors de la rédaction de leur document stratégique et que les institutions internationales ont sans doute apporté trop tardivement leur assistance dans ce domaine. Dans les CSLP, les indicateurs ne sont pas définis de manière suffisamment détaillée et les ressources humaines et financières nécessaires pou rcollecte les statistiques et calculer les indicateurs ne sont jamais évoquées. L'importance accordée par les CSLP aux indicateurs constitue une opportunité pou raméliorer la capacité statistique des Etats.

L'enquête sur le secteur informel a été menée entre 2001 et 2003 dans les capitale économiques de sept pays de l'UEMOA (Abidjan, Bamako, Cotonou, Dakar, Lomé, Niamey, Ouagadougou). Elle fournit pour la première fois une image détaillée des principales caractéristiques du secteur informel dans ces sept villes à partir d'enquêtes menées selon une méthodologie identique, ce qui autorise des comparaisons précises entre ces différentes villes. Même si la situation de chaque pays présente bien évidemment certaines spécificités liées à des facteurs économiques, il se dégage de ces données une homogénéité marquée de ce secteur fondamental des économies africaines.

... Th e data for the analysis come from Phase 1 of the Programme d' Appui Régional à la Statistique (PARSTAT) regional program's1-2-3 surveys of seven West African economic capitals (Abidjan, Bamako, Cotonou, Dakar, Lomé, Niamey, and Ouagadougou) and Antananarivo (Madagascar). 4 Th ese surveys were conducted in 2001/02 using exactly the same methodology (Brilleau, Ouedraogo, and Roubaud 2005). Th e data are thus perfectly comparable. ...

... All expenditure aggregates are recorded at the household level, annualized and given in local currency units. A two-stage random sample design was applied based on an updated general population census of each country (Amegashie et al. 2005). Area codes were used as the primary sampling unit, of which 125 were selected for each city. ...

... The primary sampling units were census enumeration areas (EAs). In each EA (125 per country), some 20 households were randomly selected with equal probabilities (see Brilleau, Roubaud and Torelli, 2005a for more details). The final sample size was 18,000 households (approximately 2,500 households in each country, except in Benin where 3,000 households were interviewed). ...

... Finally, the third phase is a household consumption survey, which aims to estimate household welfare, measure the weight of the formal and informal sectors in their consumption, and analyze the determinants of the choice of different places of purchase (phase 3: investigation of consumption and poverty). During the second phase, 13,626 firms were randomly selected from the informal firms identified in the first phase (Brilleau et al. (2005)). Heads of informal production units were interviewed and were asked questions about their conditions of activity, their economic performance, the mode of insertion into the production and supply chains, and their prospects. ...
... Estas últimas utilizan en materia educativa una agregación de las teorías económicas de los últimos cincuenta años y de esta manera toman en cuenta la teoría del desarrollo humano de Sen. Así, los textos de las instituciones internacionales presentan generalmente la pobreza como multidimensional y mencionan el rol múltiple de la educación. Pero las instituciones internacionales muestran una gran variabilidad en los indicadores utilizados: mientras que la Unesco presenta una compleja serie de herramientas de medición, el Banco Mundial tiende a concentrar sus indicadores (Brilleau, 2003). Además, cuando se trata de elaborar las políticas educativas y las herramientas nacionales de seguimiento estadístico, el carácter multidimensional de la educación y de la pobreza tiende a reducirse a favor de ciertos indicadores que corresponden a las principales expectativas reales de los donantes. ...
... First, we examined whether being a young head of household and having multiple jobs decreases the likelihood of the household's being in poverty. Several authors have demonstrated that the head of household's status in the labour market strongly impacts the well-being of their households (El Aynaoui 1998;Brilleau et al. 2004). Once a person becomes the head of the household, they become incentivised to secure employment to support the household. ...
