Preliminary data is now available from the 2008 rural income survey (TIA, Trabalho de Inquérito Agricola, which covers 70% of the population). The attached paper gives more details, but three points are important to note:
+ Most rural Mozambicans have a cash income of less than $1 per week. The poorest 10% have no cash income at all, while the best off 10% have a cash income of more than $3 per day.
+ Most rural Mozambicans were poorer in 2008 than in 2002.
+ From 2002 to 2008, mean total income increased while median total income fell – in other words, most people became poorer but the best off became richer. The total income of the richest 10% is 44 times that of the poorest 10% (up from only 23 times in 2002 and 35 times in 2005)
