Data on trends in structural transformation, rural transformation and rural poverty

The data table shows the key variables used in the 2016 Rural Development Report (RDR). The data covers the period 1990-2014. The key variables are:

• the share of non-agriculture in GDP (Structural transformation);
• agriculture value added per worker (Rural transformation); and
• the rural poverty headcount at the country poverty line and the extreme rural poverty headcount rate at $1.25 per person per day (Social inclusion).

These variables were used to address the key research questions, test the propositions in the analysis,evaluate patterns of transformation and inclusion, and generate the country typologies.
