“…The analysis suggests that rural inequality influences growth of total output more than urban inequality, and it does so negatively. Also, Ncube, Anyanwu and Hausken (2013) found that income inequality levels indeed significantly reduced economic growth as greater inequality was associated with lower economic growth in the MENA region. Studies whose results Li and Zou (1998), income inequality may theoretically lead to higher economic growth if public consumption enters the utility function.…”

This study examines the relationship among poverty, inequality and economic growth in Nigeria by employing macroeconomic variables which include GDP growth rate, per capita income, literacy rate, government expenditure on education, and government expenditure on health. Time series data over the period from 1980 to 2012 were fitted into the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression equations using various econometric techniques such as Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Phillips-Perron unit root test, Johansen co-integration test, and Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) technique. The OLS results reveal that GDP growth rate increases inequality, but reduces poverty in the country. It is thus suggested that, aside boosting the GDP, an increased effective government spending on education and public health facilities, as well as programmes that are meant primarily for the non-privileged like children, women and the poor in general, be provided for poverty and inequality to reduce in the country.

“…However, if this kind of long-run equilibrium relationship wants being supported, the error correction operating mechanism of short-run dynamic process should be being adjusted. The vector error correction model gives: (6) By performing estimation, the coefficients of equation (6) gives in <Table 5>. equilibrium relationship deviates from the long-run equilibrium relationship, there will be an ability of adjustment (0.002) from the non-equilibrium relationship to that of long-run equilibrium.…”

Abstract:One of the central themes in the study of population growth has been ageing. Ageing in the world's population has grown into a dominant demographic feature in twenty-first century society. An ageing population is the result of many contributing factors including the improvement of the health care system. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in recent years has attracted much interest from scholars, policy makers and social gerontology. By applying the geographical case studies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) this paper critically explores the issues and debates of ageing in a social policy context.
