“…For example, the household income is usually estimated by the sum of all the individuals' incomes, which are collected by interviewing separately each individual. But, as mentioned above, individuals usually keep a proportion of their earnings for themselves in order to retain some economic independence as in Abidjan (Leimdorfer, 1997;Yapi-Diahou, 2000), Brazzaville (de Suremain, 1997), Ouagadougou (Kinda, 1987) and Kinshasa (Houyoux et al, 1986).…”

International audienceIn Sub-Saharan Africa the cost of transport faced by city dwellers, particularly the poor, tends to add to their travel and economic difficulties. Knowledge of the burden of transport expenditure in the household budget seems essential for passenger transport policy formulation in order to improve their travel conditions and social equity.
The literature review and the three case studies (Dar es Salaam, Niamey, Ouagadougou) show that estimates of travel expenditure are partially conditioned by survey data collection methodologies and by the choice of equivalence scales used to compare the standard of living of households. According to consumption and expenditure survey data, the relative amount spent on transport increases as household expenditure rises. Conversely, the share of transport decreases as income rises when analysing travel survey data. The sensitivity to the equivalence scale is tested for several transport expenditure indicators: the share of travel expenditure by household budget quintile, the concentration indices for public and private household transport expenditure and the average monthly expenditure per person on public and private transport. Results also highlight the fact that transport is a major component of household expenditure, that there are considerable inequalities between households and that regular use of motorized transport is unaffordable for poor populations. These findings have implications for both improving expenditure data collection methodologies in the transport area and formulating pro-poor urban policies

“…As the actors seek to obtain some distance from the village and the extended family, he/she seeks simultaneously to maintain his/her place in community of the family. 39 The individualisation is not possible except in an ambivalent and uncompleted version, because it is imaginable only on one condition: that it serves the kin and family, and at least potentially offers the family some advantages. Also Muslim women are seeking to give priority to education and financial independence from the family leading them to prefer an abortion even though this act is strongly in opposition to their values and norms.…”

The background of the study is the very high prevalence of mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan countries due to abortions induced by unsafe methods. This paper draws on fieldwork conducted in 1998 and 1999 in the city of Bouaké in Côte d'Ivoire. The study is based upon qualitative semi-structured interviews with men and women. This paper presents some case stories based on interviews with young women having had an abortion, or with men having had a young partner who has had an abortion, both married and unmarried. It discusses how illegally induced abortion may be understood in relation to ongoing social processes characterised by economic hardship and tensions between the sexes and generations. One important finding is that the young often choose abortion because they cannot count on economic and practical assistance from parents in feeding and raising the child. Parents are also often pushing their children to have an abortion. RÉSUMÉ Le contexte social de l'avortement provoqué chez les jeunes couples en Côte d'IvoireCette étude trouve sa justification dans la très haute prévalence de la mortalité et de la morbidité dans les pays subsahariens causée par les avortements provoqués à travers des méthodes dangereuses. Cet article se fonde sur les recherches menées sur le terrain en 1998 et 1999 dans la ville de Bouaké en Côte d'Ivoire. L'étude est basée sur des interviews semistructurées qualitatives auprès des hommes et des femmes. Cet article présente des basées sur les interviews auprès des femmes qui ont eu un avortement ou bien amprès des hommes qui ont eu un jeune partenaire qui ont eu un avortement, mariées et non-mariées. Il étudie comment l'avortement provoqué illégalement peut être compris par rapport aux processus sociaux en cours qui sont caractérisés par la souffrance économique et les tensions entre les genres et les générations. Une importante découverte est que les jeunes choisissent souvent l'avortement parce qu'ils ne peuvent pas compter sur leurs parents pour l'aide economique et pratique pour nourrir et pour élever l'enfant. Les parents poussent souvent leurs enfants à avoir un avortement. (Rev Afr Santé Reprod 2007; 11[2]:13-23
